 Up the rough road come Over the darkling field, Through ieafiess trees revealed,
 l see the lights of home. As these bright easements glow Warm In the dark, l know
 What word it is they send Sheltering walls await Him who comes. dark and late,
 Safe to his journeys end Bleak winds cannot hold back Feet on that far-lit track
 Though they be chilled and numb, That place alone is mine. There. where the windows shine
 Those are the lights of home Grace Barton Allen Cook. in Spring

Dy LANE SHELBY

In the eyes of feminine folk, the most in,portant and Interesting feature of the entire chautauaua week will be the ap- pearance of Miss Alice Neilson, world famous prima donna, on the last day Of the chautauaua, which will be Thursday May 27.
 When the announcement was made that Miss Nelson would appear at 120 Redpath chautauquas it was heralded throughout the musical world with the greatest en- thusiasm and interest. This Is the hrst time go celebrated musical artist has appeared on a great chain of chautauquas' but it is safe to say that with increasing demand for the best in music that many other tours of the world famous musicians will follow in the years to come. Leading musical publications have commented upon this tour as an innovation which will open a new and broader field to the greatest musical talent.
 Alice Nelson, unlike so many of our famous singers, was not born in Eu- rope, but is a native of Nashville. She is a beautiful southern woman of whose success the south is rightfully proud. Beginning a career in her teens, singing at the famous old Tivoli. she joined the Bostonians as a prima donna and in short time she became very popular and was touring the country at the head Of her own company. She then went to Europe ana decided to devote herself to grand opera. She relinquished the fame and fortune which had come to her in tlid light opera field and began all over again as A student. Miss Nelson is said to be the only great musician who has made a success Tn grand opera after having first achieved a reputation in light opera.
 Her first success In this new field was made in Italy, engagements at all of the European opera houses following. and in 1894 she made her London debut, appear ing at Convent Garden with Meba, Des- tim and Caruso in Don Giovanni. She also won fame as Mimi in La Boheme, " having sung that role to the "Rodolfo' of Caruso.
 Miss Nelson travels in her private car, known as the Alice Nelson," which is always greeted by crowds of enthusia sts en route. She will reach Birmingham early Thursday morning. That day more nants with gold letters announcing the Eppearance of this great soprano of the Metropolitan and Boston opera companies Miss Neilson's recitaIs are given inside a tent, " hich will seat 2G00 people. and by properly stretching the canvas and then sprinkiing the tent before the recital, il is claimed the acoustic properties are splendid.
 Within the past year the tour O. Madame Schunlann- Ei eink under tht mana cement Of the Redpath Musical hu- reau. was subject Of much comment ii musical circles. On this tour the great singer met some of her largest and most responsive audiences. Never before did this artist come close to the masses, q fact which. with her spirit of democ- racy. brought her the keenest delight.
 The time has gone when any mediocrity sufffced for chautauouas for the people are educated up 10 the highest standards, and this year the Redpath management offers one of the most finished products of the artistic worid--Alice Nelson.

ing her native place. She attended No ble institute in Anniston and later com p1eted her school days at Gardner'S school and Semple schoool in New York city Like Elizabeth Barrett, Helen Smiths girlhood days were interrupted with an illness that seemed to promise invalidsm, then she touched the heart of man of talent and despite the ad- vice of supposedly knowing ones, the couple were married. Tender ministra- tions and modern science have wrought their reward, and today Mrs, Wood ruff knows all the joys of health and happiness. In their New York home, she is social leader and at their an- cestral place near Litchfield, Conn.,, where they spend their summers, she is the unspoiled queen of hearts
 She has the charm of lovely face and a sweetly appealing manner. But she has deeper and quite as potent charm that is not so easily defnabe, since 1t emanates from within, expressing itself in the earneStnesS and sincerity upon what to her is her life work and she declares herself intent upon accompasn- ing something worth while in the world.
 'The Lady of the Lighthouse' is vital, beca 1t expresses despair that saw no hope, because it pictures hopeless ness that was actually turned to great joy. Who shall say what secrets ono may learn in the midst of iliimitable darkness? Emerging into the light. one brings forth to the world a new and d precious possession. Mrs. Woodruff learned to know what it feels like to live in world that is night; she learned the terror of blindness, but only those wno know that terror can realize what possi- bilities for happiness and service there are in turning the horror to peace and contentment through satisfying work. Mrs. Woodruff's book has been praised by the critics and adoi ed by the masses and best of all through the sales of the book and film the empty coffers of the l Association for the Blind of New York | now hold $300.0o0
