RED CROSS SEAL CAMPAIGN

Reports received at the office of the State Tuberculosis Commission to- day indicated that Connecticut had raised only about $50, 900 of the $10G,- 900 aimed at as the goal of the Red Cross Christmas Seal Campaign of 1919.
 Hartford's total of $5.0oO as the first weeks canvass led the state, while New Haven, Bridgeport and Waterbury closely tied for second with about S4,OOO each. Norwich, with $3,20O, led all Connecticut cities and towns in the seal sale per capita Both New Haven and Bridgeport were handicapped by several obstacles from getting their campaign machin cry at work. AS each city has more than 2,000 cases of tuberculosis the necessity for raising the full budget of s100,000 is regarded by the Com missioner of the utmost importance in safeguarding the health of the state.
 In both New Haven and Bridgeport he campaign will be at it's height this week, and both are hopeful of reach ing the financial goal.
 Estimates from several other cit ies Of the amounts already raised are as follows:
 Danbury $500; Greenwich $500; South NorwaIk $500; Stamford $500.

CHI. ]. DREN WELL TAKEN CARE OF
 AT NURSERY
Hope to Meet Debts For I'm. provements and Renova-
 tions Through Bazaar.

Help to change our baby tears to smiles is an effective slogan being used as a poster announcing the Christmas bazaar and dance to be given Friday of this week at the Elks hall for the benefit of St. Nincents s Day Nursery. This entertainment is bctng given under the auspices of the Daughters of Castle in utilization with the Daughters of Isabella.
 St. Nincents Day Nursery cares for from 8 to 45 children each day. The mothers of these children are all obliged to go to work either in a fac tory or at housework in order to sup port themselves and their children. Every case is carefully investigated by the Catholic Charitable Bureau in order to prevent mothers from going to work unnecessarily and so neglect ing their homes. It is only when day nursery care offers the only solution of the mothers problem that her chill dren are admitted.
 Every effort is made to provide the best possible care for these children. A physical examination is necessary before admission. The children are watched and given whatever nediCa! attention seems advisable. Both kin deTgarten and pre-kindergarten classes are held daily to train the little ones in organized play. There are story telling hours and parties on days of special significance. The classes and recreation are in charge of Miss EZliz- a.beth Daley. field secretary of the national Catholic War Council, who is a trained kindergartner, experienced in the work of community centers.
 The general management of the nursery is in charge of two Sisters of Charity. This order of Sisters is known throughout the country for it's remarkable success in the manage ment of day nurseries, no less than in the mana cement of hospitals.
 The day nursery problem is being reco ognized by all social workers as increasingly complex, as there are so many phases to the work. The Cath oIic Charitable Bureau aims to make St. Vincent's Day Nursery meet each phase of the problem as adequately as possible. Careful investigation pre- vious to admission is made by the Bureau visitors. The health of the children is safeguarded by the re- quired physical examination and by the supervision of the Sisters of Char ity who look after the diet and the general health of the little ones Su- pervised play is provided by a trained zindergartner. Follow up work in the home Is done by the bureau visitors Tn this way, every angle of the day nursery problem is covered as far as lis humanly possible.
 St. Vincents Day Nursery is financed by the Catholic Charitable Bureau There is at present an out standing debt Of about g 300 for inn provements and renovations. It Is the hope of the Daughters of Isabella to reduce this debt materially by turning over to the bureau the proceeds of the coming bazaar.

WHY NOT PLAY MAGICIAN?

It really is a most gratifying thing to practice that magician touch. The home grows lovely under it, the family grows appreciative of you and you yourself have a great deal of fun using your wits artisticaI1y.
 In your bedroom have you a waste basket? Yes? Nine cases out of ten il is the kind which is plainly con- scious of it's own shortcomings Why not have one which adds to the room :? Just buy a can of enamel, paint it the color which you have tried to have predominate in your room. and tho next day it will be dry and ready to use. Whether it is wicker, tin or wooden, your result will be equally pleasing.
 Have you any old, unsightly framed mirrors? Why don't you get busy using your magician's touch upon them? The mirror never has been given more prominent place in the W-el1-dressed room than now. You can paint it the predominating color in the room, or, better still, bronze it, and get the sort of bronze enamel which will give it that antique effect Just for a. small price you can have a mirror like the ones in the shops, which are very expensive.
 And how about little tin boxes you have about the house You probably get candy in some of them at one time. Why not use a bit of enamel upon them, and perhaps later, after the enamel Is dried, you could add a small design with oil paints? These boxes may be made for matches, for candy, for cookies. for sewing boxes, for all sorts of trinkets, and even for coIlar-button boxes, if they happen to be small enough.
 Have you a room in which the fur niture is hopeless? Well, why tolerat te it? With several cans of paint you can make 1t really interesting look ing.
 Once you paint that furniture a nice gray and get rose color, pea cock blue or heliotrope hangings wastebasket, boxes, covers and lamp shades. your room will look as if it had just come from the hand of a decorator instead of from the Willir . and enthusiastic hand of the home maker who possesses the happy faculty of frequently going over her home to see where her magician s touch is most needed.

Former Opera Star
 Now Inmate of
 English Workhouse

One Of the cheeriest residents in the Putnam Road Workhouse, in Eng land. is q woman of seventy-three years who once delighted London on the operatic stage.
 Under the name of 'Lennox Grey she played many leading parts at tin Q West End theatres in the seventies: today her fraiI hands are still making music, says 'FThe Philadelphia Public Ledger
 Almost any afternoon you may see a little crowd of eager listeners gathered round an unIuned piano in the workhouse sitting room; 'Lennox Grey is playing old tunes beloved in her girlhood, and her thin, trembling voice. still strangely sweet. sometimes sings the old Victorian words
 ''Iennox Grev' in private life is Mrs. Louisa Gibson.
 She is deeply interested in the re- vival of the GIbert-SuIIivan opera, be cause she knew Sullivan long before he was knighted.
 ''He was a dear man." she said and a light came into her eyes as her memory went back to the days of her brilliant triumphs.
 ''I was introduced to him at the theater; he told me he liked my speaking voice and that I ought to be able to sing. Ultimately he asked me to go to his home in Pimlico, where he gave me several lessons.
 ''He was devoted to his mother; indeed I do not think I have ever met a man to whom his mother mattered so much. All that I learned of sing ing I owe to Arthur Sullivan.
 My mother was an actress Mrs Gibson continued, and as small child I played several parts, but I did not take up acting seriously until after my return from India in 1888. I appeared at the Princess, the OIym- pic and the Adelphi, all under the mana cement of Chatterton and Web ster.
 T played in Monte Cristo' and In many other dramas. until I went to the old Philharmonic. Then I went on tour, and afterward came to the Alhambra, where we did opera for four years. I played with Julia Mat hews and Harry Paulton, and then went to South Africa with a variety company.
 "We were a very jolly crowd. and if I had not been unfortunate enough to get rheumatic fever I should have been happy enough. But the company went north and left me to fate, and was five months in hospital.
 There were no pawnbrokers in Cape Town in those days. and all my effects were sold. But I got home by working my passage as stewardness. There were only two women on board, so had a very easy time
 ''In my days a chorus girl was lucky to get $5 a week. She never got more than $6.25. The $52.50 a week which I got at the old Phil harmonic was considered to be a star salary in those days-for such work an actress would not get less thar s160 a uaak tndav-"

\ FEATHER SUBSTITUTE.

If you have any pillows which are in need of new filling, TT if you are making new pillows, you will be pleased to know that there is q really good substitute for feathers
 The latter are a bit too expensive for -le average housewife to use for her sofa pillows. and this suhstitu e will more than adequately fill the bill.
 Take cotton batting and cut it into small squares. perhaps two or three inches Then place these little squares side by side in a baking pan and place in the oven. Be careful that they do not scorch. You will find hat each little piece of cotton bat ting will swell to twice it's size, and will be exactly as fluffy as down or feathers.
The Bridgeport times and evening farmer., 1919-12-10

Of course, you want to give her something individual. Also you want it to be expensive looking. But most important of all. you don't want il to be expensive. Well, what you want to do, is to get out your trusty little work basket and make one of the deIectabIe things offered in this group.
 She's going to fall straightaway in love with that adorable boudotr cap specimen at top left. She is going to fall particularly in love with it when it's developed in jade green net atop or violet georgette, and, after all that, treated to some gold braid. As far as lines go, this little cap goes like any other. In the matter of treat ment, tho. it is a bit different. You see, the braid is sewn across the mid dle of 1t to susges- that the cap comes in two. Then wheels of seIf-mater- jal with a pending piece attached are fastened at each side.
 Now, let's travel down to the wheel thing with the streamers in the lower left corner. This is a sachet. and an unusually interesting one, for the unique fact of having a sweet grass mat for its center. Choose q quite small mat first of all, then treat it to padded silk rule edged with some vivid ribbon gathered to the edge thereof. The ribbon con- tinues out beyond the edge of the rule and then joins handIe-wise. Old gold silk and some deep purple vel vet ribbon ought to look as fetching as it sounds.
 Which brings us to the fetching lit tie pair of slippers. Two coIors of eiderdowu are suggested for the nak- .rs of this ever practical gift: grey

 CONCERT
Verdi's Requiem Given Ora matic Interpretation By
 Large Chorus.

NerdTs "Requien'' was given highly dramatic interpretation by the Oratorio society last night at the High school auditorium. The large chorus and fine orchestra with the four splendid soIoists, Miss Dicie Howell, soprano; Mrs. Susan Haw!ey Davis, contralto; Robert Quaint, ten or, and Fred Patton, bass, performed the work with skill and ability
 The most dramatic part of the Re quiem was given by the double chor- us when 1t sang the ''Sanctus," with such force and impresstveness that the very walls TesOunded the thunder ous voices. calling ''FIosanna in the Highest! Blessed is He that cometh in he Name of the Lord. Iosanna in the Highest" The ''Sequence." by the chorus was another splendid rem diuon. The meaning of every word in that part was brought out by the ringing voices
 The sad and pathetic which at times broke in on the thunderous voices was so evenly given that no break could be discerned. The two ex- tremes seemed to mingIe at the same time for just a second and then break off gently.
 Mrs. Davis was especially good and
 
 was earnestly appreciated Her voice was clear, gave the correct dra- maic emphasis and produced the de sired effect Miss Howell. soprano. has a fine voice, and gave Justice to the several difficult parts. but there was faint Oyerstrain which produc- ed the effect that she was not sure of herself. Both tenor and bass have splendid. rich voices and handled their parts admirably.
 The fOrty-fve members of the New York symphony orchestra pleased with Lenore Overture 3, Beethoven's, which commenced the concert. Fol lowing, two splendid ancient Christ mas carols were given Especially good was While, By My Sheep D written during the 17th century.
 The echo part was so well given that the audience was astounded on first hearing the soft, dlzrant. appeal ing voices, coming from nowhere. yet close by. The effect was splendid,
 Hail, All Hail to Glorious Morn.' was given by the chorus, unaccom- panied with much force and strength.
 The Oratorio society is to be con gratulared in giving to Bridgeport music lovers a concert of superla tive degree. Their object in promoting the interests of music here and vicin- ity and make study of the higher forms of choral compositions, is q worthy one and should have the hear ty cooperation of all those interested Il in the higher standards of the c:tv,
 Arthur Mees, musical director. has successfully trained the large chorus and directed the work This was the first work to be repeated by the so- ciety. the "Requiem'' having been sung nearly five years ago.

"A woman is as old as she looks, and a man is as old as he feels," is a familiar saying that is full of mean ing nowadays. Women of all ages dress young, and men are active as long as strength and vitality will per init; but when vitality gets low and elderly people lack energy there is nothing that will increase the appe- tite, promote sleep, vim and vitality so surely and quickly as Vinol the cod liver and iron tonic without oil in fact, most druggists have such confidence in it that they sell it on a guarantee.-Adv.
