MISSIONARIES THANK
 PARK CHURCH LADIES
For Boxes Recently Sent to the West
 Musical Programme at Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of the Parish House association was held in the OsgoOd Memorial on Friday after noon. Mrs. A. N. H. Vaughn presided. After the report of the secretary, Mrs. F. S. Bunnell, and other business Miss Matilda Butts read two letters thank ing the ladies of the church for the sionaries in the west.
 The programme was then put in the hands of Mrs. Grosvenor Ely, who had arranged for a most delightful after noon of music. The first selection was a piano solo by Miss Olive Hunt, who gave a skilful rendering of Chopin's Impromptu in 4 flat. She also favored Charles Tyler Bard then gave two charming songs, Spross' Yesterday and Today and McFadden's Love is the Wind, for which Mrs. Ely accompanied. Two other piano selections by Miss HUnt-Un Bateau and a Prelude called The Girl With the Golden Hair. both by Debussy, were much enjoyed. So also were three dainty Japanese songs by Amy Woodford F'inden which were beautifully given by Mrs. Bard. In response to persistent appeals for more music. Miss Hunt generously added to the programme by giving The Noun tain by H. L. Brainard and Mrs. Ely contributed a piano selection of her own composition, The Suffrage March, which elicited much enthusiastic praise.
 In the social hour following, refresh ments were served by the social com mittee, Mrs. William B. Birge, chair man, Mrs. Adam Reid. Miss Harriet R. Trumbull and Miss Louise B. Meech. Mrs. Oliver L. Johnson and Mrs. Hen ry T. Arnold assisted.

SPLENDID CONCERT OPENED COURSE
Audience at Slater Memorial Hall Fingered Longngy Hear More of Madame Povla Frisch-Monsieur Jean Verd, Pianist Shared the Honors With Soprano

showed a wide range on the singers part. After Beethoven came Air de Poppee by Handel, and Danza, Danza! by Durante. In the next group were the two Russian composers, Gret- schaninoff and Borodine, and five French songs by Saint Saens, GouEod, Duparc, Chausson and Alexander Georges.
 In Les Papillons, by Chausson, M. Verd came in for a share of the ap- plause for the piano accompaniment. The brilliant work of this French art ist was more fully shown in his three piano solos. Liszt's Legend of St. Francis de Paule Walking on the Waevs was especially beautiful It was followed by Debussy's charming Clair de Lune and a quaint French Folk Song of the 18th Century. His en- core number was a cradle song by Grieg.
 Two groups of songs by German composers were then given by Mime. Frisch. Instead of Strauss Berceuse she sang Schumann's Fruhling's wacht theis, giving three songs by Schu- mann and one by Brahms in the first group. The latter song was repeated in response to persistent encores. The last numbers were Schubert's Wohin and Erlkonig.

Splendid, was the word applied on all sides to the first concert in the Academy musical course given at the Slater Memorial on Friday evening. Madame Povla Frisch is indeed a dramatic soprano whom one would go far to hear, and Monsieur Jean Verd, pianist whom one would not know ingly miss the opportunity of hear ing. Norwich is certainly favored to have a visit from these two artists so soon after their appearance in this country and appreciation of the eff forts of Messrs. Archibald Mitchell and Henry A. Tirrell in securing them.
 The large audience fully yielded to the personal charm and individuality shown in their subtle interpretations of their art and which impressed even more than their fine technique. From the first notes of the impressive Gloire a la Nature by Beethoven to the splendid rendering of Schubert's dramatic Erlkonig at the end of the programme, there was rapt attention shown and, as at Aeolian hall, the au- dience was loath to have them finish and fingered Iongingly at the close.
 Of course, as Mime. Povla Frisch herself said, nothing could be given after the Erlking without spelling the whole artistic effect. The programme

RED CROSS SEALS
 SALES SHOWING WELL.
Norwich Campaign Disposing of
 Thousands to Aid Anti t-Tuberculosis:

Reports made at the end of this week to the local branch of the Red Cross Society show thta the people of Norwich are responding encOuragely
 to the appeal to aid the campaign against tuberculosis by purchasing the Red Cross Christmas seals. The sales are already mounting up into the
 thousands and the indications are that Norwich is to do its part in the cam
 paign for giving health and life back
 to some victims of the Great White
 Plague.
 Red Cross Seals should, in accord
 andce with Order No 5,020 of the post office department, be affixed to the reverse side of domestic mail mat
 ter" and not on the address side of any letters or packages that are go.
 ing through the mail. They may be placed anywhere on matter going by
 express. As many seals may be used
 on the back of a letter or package as
 may be desired. Care should be ex-
 ercised in sending merchandise through the mails not to place seals over the strings with which the pack age is tied, since this closes the pack age against inspection and subjects it to first class postage rates. Users of Red Cross Seals are cautioned against indiscriminate use on foreign mail. Red Cross Seals in normal times may be used on the reverse side | or e1lall matter sent to AuSuld, Cerl
 many. Great Britain and most of the British colonies, except India and Australia, Guatemala. Uruguay, Port ugal refuse to admit mail bearing non- postage stamps. Certain European countries will return to the sender any mail bearing Red Cross Seals on the address side. Mail addressed to any of the belligerent countries in Europe should not bear Red Cross Seals on the address side. Red Cross Seals may be used on the face of checks. i bills, on legal documents and on any ! commercial paper. The Christmas Seals are not good for postage. They will not carry any mail matter, but
 any kind of mail matter will carry
 them.

ZIONISTS WILL HEAR
 TWO NOTABLE SPEAKERS.
pr. s. Levin and Hon. Louis Lipsky Will Make Appeal for Palestine.

Under the auspices of the Norwich Zionists, two of the most notable of Jewish speakers are to be here on Sunday evening at the Colonial thea tre, when they will present the cause of the Jews of Palestine and appeal to the Jews in America to come to the help of their destitute brethren in the Holy Land.
 Dr. Schmarya Levin and Hon. Louis Lipsky are to be the speakers. They make the appeal on the grounds that the Jews of Palestine can appeal only to American Jews, as they are cut off from the rest of the world. They are asking American Jews to be even more generous than they were last year, and not let the Jews in Palestine perish now after maintaining them for a year. To enable them to hold their own during this period of violence and uncertainty now threatening them is a sacred duty.
 The speakers argue that there Is a particular duty to Jewish Palestine, to those Jews who by self-saCrifiCe and devotion have built up a Jewish set clement which is the pride of all Jews. When they first went to Palestine they fought hunger and sickness, and the burden of the desert land they were succeeding in creating values when the world conf1agration struck them and demolished for the time being their material possessions and crippled Inelr creative opportunities. The pro ViSiOnal executive committee for gen eral Zionist affairs was able during the year 1914-1915, the first year of the war, to transmit S230,OOO for general relief and send abroad $162,00 to rela- tiVeS and friends who could not be reached through normal financial chan nels. Every dollar that went into Palestine was for relief and the com mittee was enabled to save for the time being the Jews of Palestine. But the funds raised last year are eX- hausted now Conditions in Palestine have not improved. The war still rages in Europe and it's baCkwash overWhelms the industrial and agri- cultural life of Palestine. Military operations may soon bring Palestine within the war zone. The crops of last year were largely destroyed by the locusts. As the local resources decrease. the schools, charitable insti- tutions. hospitals and colonies become more dependent upon our generosity.

In Christmas Season Beginning Or
 Saturday, December IS.

The question of when to keep the stores open evenings during the Christmas holidays was taken up by a meeting of the mercantile bureau of the Chamber of Commerce at the rooms of the chamber on Friday morning at 10 o'clock.
 It was decided to have the stores open evenings from Saturday, Decem- Der IS to Friday, December A. This will give five evenings in succession when the stores will be open evenings for the Christmas trade though the proprietors are hoping that as far as possible the public will not leave all their Christmas buying till these last few days but will do all they can to follow the admonition of shop early'

RECORD MAILS EXPECTED.
Postoffice Department Looks for Big gest Holiday Business in History.

First Assistant Postmaster General Daniel C. Roper has issued orders to postmasters to do everything possible even to stretching the rules a bit, to make the handling of 1915 Christmas mail the best in the history of the pos- tai service. In an official circular he said:
 Patrons are vitally interested in having parcels delivered on or before Christmas day, and every effort should be made to accomplish this. Parcels may bear the words Not to be opened until Christmas or a similar inscrip- ton. The timeliness of gifts depends on their being received on or before Christmas day; early mailing will in sure this, whereas the practice of mail ing packages late, in the hope that they will reach their destination on Christ mas day, is likely to defeat it's own ob- ject through unavoidable delay due to the consequent congestion of the mails. This year the volume of business will be the greatest in the history of the mail service"
 Patrons are urged to secure blanks in advance to be used in sending c. O. D. and registered mail, so that when packages reach the postoffice they can be ready to mail. The circular recom- mends the establishment of booths in postoftice Hobbies to answer inquiries.

BLAME REAL ESTATE GRAFT.

The Journal hopes that the federal
postal authorities will go ahead, follow
the plans and advice Of their own ex-
perts and architects, and build the new
post Office without waiting on the
whims and schemes OF real estate
spectators In Chicago. These noisy
clamorers do not speak for the peo-
pie OF this busy and practical city.
There is no reason why post Office
should not be built ten stories high
or twenty stories, II there be need of
such altitude. Tall buildings need not
be unsightly. On the contrary, some
OF the most beautiful and characteris-
tic structures in America are sky
scrapers which tower far above the
modest height proposed for the new
federal building. And there are the
best and soundest OF reasons why the
government should refuse TO waste
public money in buying two blocks of
ground when one block will serve.
II Is pretty rotten state OF affairs
when great public improvements are
held up and delayed till group of
grasping real estate interests are sat,
isfed." The Journal trusts that the
federal authorities will decline TO be
bullied or blackmailed In any such
fashion, and will go ahead at once
with their much needed work.-Chi
