go with the crowd last week to an
inter-community contest with Ana

minds to get married the same night,

them.
Say, Colcord, wish you could hear
our chorus of thirty-fve voices sing.
They gave Sacred concerts the last
two Sunday nights to 1900 people in
the church, and others turned away.
1t is the best musical aggregation in
the Northwest. Bishop Burns said
that his choir in Hennepin Avenue
church in Minneapolis never attempted
anything so ambitious, as the pro-
gram they put on included such sell

Handel, etc.
Must close. Kindly give greetings
to all the shop folks, and to other
friends.
Very cordially,

MASSENET COMPOSER
 OF CHORUS SELECTION

Jules Frederic Emile Massenet composer of "Narcissus" and idyl for chorus of mixed voices which will be sung by the New Britain Choral so- ciety at its annual concert on May has undoubtedly enjoyed the greatest popularity of all French composers of the nineteenth and twentieth cen turics.
 Born at Montaud near St. Etienne in 1S42. he showed remarkable tal- ent for music when very young and received lessons from his mother, later continuing his studies in Paris. Lack of funds made it necessary that he support himself by playing in res ltaurant orchestra until his compost tions brough him Sufficient revenue enabling him to devote all his time and talent to writing music.
 Massenet married very wealthy woman and the two years following, spent at the Villa Medci, awakened his greatest genius.
 While his fame resulted from his operas of which "Thais," "Le Roi de Lahore," "Manon" and "Le Jongleul de Notre Dame" are the best known. the composer has written beautiful cantatas, several suites for orchestra, oratorio. etc.
 Massenet served with distinction in the Franco Prussian war, attaining the rank of captain and received the Cross of the Legion of Honor.
 His death which occurred few years ago at an advanced age ended one of the most picturesque careers in the musical world.

TEASING u.CL3 JERRY.

Farmer Greens flock of sheep had | followed Snowfall over the stone wall and back into the pasture And soon every one of them was grazing again ds if nothing had happened.
 Now, SnoWball was greatly pleased II was the first time he had ever started that game called Follow My Leader. And there wasn't a sheep nor q lamp thathaln't gone chasing after him when he showed them the way.
 Snowfall saw many merry games ahead of him.
 '1'll give them some good runs," he promised himself.
 And he did. Before that morniIs was over he led the flock up 10 ihe tarthest corner of the pasture :. a mad scramble. And before the after noon vas over he took them on a brisk run 10 the bars
 That made three times for the day.
 On each summers day that follow ed Snowfall played Follow My Lead CT oftener than he had the day be- fore. So it happened that by the end of a week when evening came, the older sheep were weary from all the running they had done, all the scrambling over the stone wall. For Snowball's favorite trick was to lead the sheep over the wall and into the tangle of raspberry bushes where Uncle Jerry Chuck lived
 Snowfall had soon learned that there Was nothing to fear over there. He discovered that it was the noise the flock made when leaping down upon the ledge that alarmed Uncle Jerry Chuck browsing in his un- derground chamber Uncle Jerry had thought there must be an earthauake. That was why his teeth chattered. That was why his nose twitched, when he peepcd out of his doorway.
 As soon as Snowfall learned all this he took great pains to land upon the ledge as heavily as he could. He

 liked to hear Uncle Jerry Chuck's teeth chatter he liked to see Uncle Jerry shiyer; he liked the sound ot Uncle Jerry's squeaky voice asking what was the matter
 So Snowfall enjoyed his days in the pdsture--or in and out of it. In fact he enjoyed them more than anybody else in the flock For the others be- gan to grow tired of being led helter- skelter in d headlong flight. And the old ones especially became annoyed because Snowfall took them so often over the stone wall.
 At last the old dame known as Aunt Nancy, all hung with great folds of thick fleece. spoke her mind plainly to Snowfall himself.
 You're making a nuisance of your self" she told him, Tn all my days never knew another youngster-a mere lamh,--to lead the flock. And here you're making us run our legs off every day! When ] was your age we children never started a game of Follow My Leader. We followed be- hind the rest of the flock. We never led"
 All this was 6 great surprise for Snowfall.
 "D-dont you like the game?" he stammered.
 The game's all right" the old lady said. But nobody cares to play 1t a dozen times a day. And nobody en- joys having 10 chamber over the stone wall again and again"
 Snowfall said nothing for a few minutes. He was thinking.
 When I run, why do you follow me if you don't wish to?" he in- quired at last.
 "I don't know" the old lady con fessed. Maybe I fell into the habit of following when I was young. Any how, I can't help myself now. just have 10 go along with the others"

New Haven, May 3. Three men with revolvers in holsters and badges on their coat lapels, last night posed as detectives and attempted to bur glarize store on the ground floor of an apartment house here. When one of the trio was encountered on the second floor and asked by George Whitaker. an occupant of an apart ment what he wanted, he said he was looking for a man, and displayed his badge. Going to the first floor, MT. Whitaker met two others with badges who were trying doors of a grocery store there. The three men then left the place together without obtaining any loot. MT. Whitaker notified the police but no trace of the men was found.
 Late in the afternoon a keyworker entered the home of John Wright and obtained $1, 300 in jewelry while the family were away.

DAILY FASHION SERVICE,
 BEING ON THE FRINGE OF FASHION

Neither the advent of the knicker nor the increased popularity of the sports dress has shaken the prestige of the separate skirt What every woman knows is that there arc . dozen times in Il week when scpa-
 rate skirt, worn with a good blouse, | Is indispensable,
 Fringe is perhaps the most con- spicuous note in the new skirts. but distinction comes in the surprising ways in which the fringe is employed. Fringe often outlines the side as well as the bottom of the skirt, or is | placed in rows upon the fabric, up and down, round about, spirally like a barber pole, or in broken lengths here and there acroas the front or sides of the skirt. The fringe varies from one to two or three inches, and may consist of fraying or real fringe, Tweeds and homespuns had il al their own way during the early spring months, and just now no man can tell whether the reaction 10 all this roughncss will be demand for rough. fabrics or the very soft and flowing ones.
 Eponge will undoubtedly be popu-
 lar, as it satisfies all tastes, being light, vet of q rough weave. Ratine also promises to be popular, and the new kind of silk jersey which looks like shimmering Turkish bath towels on one side and is variously named, probab bly, will be much worn.
 Among the silks the crepes seem destined to enjoy the greatesD popu- larity. They will be in white colors figured and plain.
 Special sport Canton crepes come with deep Paisley borders and others are to be found with satin stripes or brOc3ded figures.
