The Musicale and Koffee Klatch "
that was held by the New Century Club
on Wednesday evening deserves more
than a passing notice. The program
elaborated and the introduction OF child
rem as participants was a most commen-
dable feature. There were many solos
and duets rendered Perhaps the duet
rendered by Frances Couwell and George
Goodwin, Jr., children seven years of
age was the most ENJOYABLE on account
of the quaintness and pictursqueness of
their costume, being that of the 18th
century; and their song being an "Old
Love Song of Other Days. The recita-
tiOns and readings were, also, praise
worthy.

The Fisher Shipp Concert Co. enter
tanned a crowded house at School Hall
on Saturnay evening. We would not
like to believe that the company that is
trying to light Milton, purposely, allow
our lights to go out on big occasions; yet,
it does appear that, whenever a'large
entertainment is in progress at Scoool
Hall, the lights invariably 60 out. This
was the case again on Saturday night and,
other lights had to be substituted. The
streets at these times, are also in dark
ness; the tunes when the lights are the
most needed for the general good.
