she was to sing in 'Rigoletto.' and she

At five o'clock one Friday AFTER
noon Miss Macbeth was told that she
was TO sing in the opera Carmen" at
s O'Clock that night, so the story goes.
She laughed at Maestro Campannini;
ttft when he failed to respond with
smile, she took the score of that
opera, went over the soprano parts
with the conductor Of the orchestra,
and at eight o'clock appeared on the
stage in place of another singer who
had beer taken i'll suddenly. Miss
Macbeth of Mankato performed the
lnicacle of singing successfully the
role of 'Micaela" in Carmen" that
night. a part that is not and was not
IN her repertoire, part that she
bad never sung in French, and had
only presented once in English three
years before. She was then written
Zip in the Chicago papers as the
Pinch Hitter OF the Opera Company"
Many other feats OF skill anl high
artistry have been performed by
Mankato's own representative in the
Chicago Opera Company, one who
is forever advertising Mankato favor
ably wherever she goes.

SOCIAL SCIENCE CLUB.

Ladies participated in the meeting
of the Social Science club last even
ing. Their attendance was large. ].
E. Reynolds read the paper of the
evening on the subject, "The Ameri-
can Home and Sabbath Observance"
Mr.. Reynolds went into a general
discussion of the subject. He cited
the many laws in the various states
prohibiting the dissertation of the
Sabbath and pointed out that dn none
or the states were these laws en-.
forced. due to lack of public senti-
ment.
He also claimed that the automo-
bile and the Sunday theatre were
weening the people from the church
es and that these s,dnday activities
mad a general tendency of causing the
empty pews in the churches on Sun
day. Sunday in the present day has
ceen transformed into Roman holt
day. the people devoting the. day
TO feast of pleasure spiced with
l1otous living" stated Mr.. REYNOLDS
and went on TO ask the club if In the
American home today there was such
q thing as a family circle.
President c. Ii. Cooper who lead
the discussion took the ground that
while 1t may not be pleaant for the
church going people to hear the
statement that the Sunday theatre
and other activities are here. and arc
likely TO stay, still II is true.
One of the interesting events of
last evenings meeting was the ele-
quent defense made by Mrs. j. w.
Andrews of women suffrage. Sew
eral other members of the club dis
cusaed the paper and the subject Of
the evening.
