LENTEN CONCERTS FOR
 WINDHAM HOUSE

Music lovers as we'll as all friends of Nindham House will have a real treat in the series of three concerts to be given at the Palace Theatre, Norwich. this month. The first two concerts will take place on Sundays, March and 15 at ?. m. The date of the third will be announced later. The feature of the concert on March s will be a song recital by Miss Marie Tiffany of the Metropolitan Opera Company. Miss Tiffany, who has a very lovely soprano voice, IS deser- vedly popular with the American public, as is shown by the remarkable demand for her phonograph records.
 At the second concert, March lo, Mir. Frank Farrell, well known plan ist, will give an interesting program with orchestral accompaniment. Sew eral numbers by Mir. Lionel Storr bass-bar.tone. will be included in the afternoons music.
 At the third and last concert Dr. Erb, head of the music department at Connecticut College will give a program of organ music, assisted by a local soprano.
 Friends of Connecticut College are watching with interest the erection of Colonial House, the beautiful building given by tine iate c. C. Knowlton, that is now nearing com pletion. Great effort IS being made to have Windham House added to the group of college buildings in the not too distant future.
