Miss Melrose To
Sing At Cambridge

Everybody in Cambridge and thru
the first year the Chautauqua was
! held at Cambridge. The program
furnished that year was undoubted-
ly better than any that has been fur
nished since. Probably the most en-
joyable feature of this program was
Victor's Band and Miss Melrose, the
sweet soprano soloist with the band.
Gifted with a pleasing personality, a
beautiful voice, and using good
judgment in the selection of her
numbers, Miss Melrose sang herself
into the hearts of the Dorchester
public and proved probably the best
drawing card the Swarthmore Chau
tauqua ever has sent to Cambridge.
Miss Melrose has been soloist for the
Swarthmore Chautauqua Associa-
ton for five seasons and has proven
great attraction in every town
where she has appeared.
On numerous occasions attempts
have been made to induce Miss Mel
rose to return to Cambridge for
concert, and the last attempt has
proven successful. Miss Melrose and
a splendid company of her own will
give grand patriotic entertainment
in the Grand Opera House, Cam
bridge, on Wednesday evening of
next week, Feb. 20, the proceeds to
go to the Cambridge poor.
The Melrose Company includes:
Miss Melicent Melrose, soprano.
Miss Adelaide Keezer, pianist.
Miss Cecile Brown, violinist.
Miss Irma Marie Jordan, cellist.
The entertainment has been given
in many Of the cities of New Eng
land this winter as a Red Cross ben
eft, and has proven great success
at each performance. The young
ladies that are appearing with Miss
Melrose are the best that can be pro-
cured. The program is arranged in
four parts, to represent the four AL
lies, ED~land, Italy, France, and the
United : ates. Miss Melrose will
sing the national songs of the Allies,
in costume, and will sing the popu-
lar and catchy songs Of the trenches.
such as Over There" ''Tipperary,"
etc.
This program will be second to
none that has been given in Cam
bridge in recent years. An enter
tainment of this kind should be pa
tronized at any time, and it surely
is the duty of Cambridge people to
be present and contribute to the sue
cess of an entertainment, the pro-
ceeds of which are to go for the re-
lief of the Cambridge poor. Owing
to the protracted freeze, the Asso-
ciated Charities has been compelled
to spend considerable money to re-
lieve many families in Cambridge
who could not procure work, and
the Melrose entertainment has been
arranged to help raise funds for the
Associated Charities of the town.
Make your arrangements to attend
this entertainment and tell your
friends to do the same-Adv.

NOTICE TO PARENTS.

The attention of all parents and
guardians is respectfully called to
the fact that one of the ordinances
of Cambridge prohibits roller skat-
ing on the streets, and complaints
are already being received by the
Police Department with reference to
same. 1t is hoped that parents and
guardians will instruct their chill
dren at once not to skate on the
streets, as the police have instruc-
tions to enforce the ordinance, and
consequently must arrest children
violating it.-Daniel E. Brannock,

TESTING JINGLES
DOG VS. BABY.

The other day / stopped before a
popular department store on Sec
ond avenue, and as l stood there
watching folk who evidenced they
weren't broke, a big car hove in
view. The driver, smoking Omar
herb, killed the engine near the
curb, and left his salaried seat, to
open up the limousine and help
remove from the machine, female,
trim and neat ! noticed. as she
hit the walk, she turned and
prattled baby talk, and l expected
her to lift her babe in swaddling
clothes, but in its stead, when she
arose, she held a measley cur. She
gaily tripped into the store, pre-
sumabIy to look things o'er,-per-
chance to buy some thread; / saw
her turn to leave the place. saw
her smile in Ffdo's face, the while
she stroked his head. She feared
the influenza air, and, therefore,
covered up with care her small,
fea-bitten cur and as she tucked
him in the car, she said: zoos
mammals pet, 90 are that's all l
saw Of her. Why doesn't that
woman and her kind have children
Of their own or find, homeless
little child, and with true mother
instinct, be humanely natural
surely she cant love q mongrel
wild. If nature wont permit the
birth of baby, then go show your
worth-adopt a Belgian boy. or
girl and give a mothers care
! you'll be respected anywhere, and
find a lot of Joy. Go sell the dog
for any price-he's probably good
at catching mice, or rats-this is no
yarn: no one can take the baby's
place, the dog can only bring dis
grace-his home is In the barn.
