She was charitable very, And she helped the missionary With voice, and purse and everything like that; Sympathy she cultivated. And all social vice berated But she wore five little birds upon her hat On philanthropy she doted. To prayer-meeting was devoted, And she never, never played progressive euchre; But a claw of alligator Held the purse her wealthy pater Kept o'flowing with her missionary lucre. She attended Browning classes, And could quote from "Pippa Passes,' Aad she knew the needs of natives in Samoa; She was dainty as the dickens Shuddered at the death of chickens But she wore a head aad claws upon her boa: Keyes Becker.

In fact the Crete managers iatead to have a program Hum year that will be bothentertaiaing and THE COURIER instructive, as the following two names will show: I. Professor Bayard Holmes, .Ph. D., M. D., one of the most distinguished surgeons of Chicago, and a brilliant specialist in social studies and experiments, will follow Professor Graham Taylor's course of last season with eight lectures on the present phase of social questions, and the causes and remedies for the present disturbance in the social world. Dr. Holmes is one of the promoters ef the Hull House, Chicago, and a popular lecturer of the Arnold Toyn bee club, and may be anticipated as one who will make a profound sensation 'in social discussions.

Whom Clarence Eddy chooses as the sop rano of his quartette needs no other intro duction. As a concert singer Miss Gifford made her entrance upon a professional career last year in Central Music hall, Chi cago, with the Chicago Orchestra under the lead of Mr. Theodore Thomas, singing the first four soprano recitations and the Aria, "Rejoice Greatly," from Handel's "Messiah," with charming skill and brillan cy, being compared favorably with the splendid singer, .Mrs. George Henshel. MUSICAL. The Rubinstein musical club gave a re ception and mustcale at the Curtice con cert hall last evening.

Calve, "Sbrdica, Melba, the DeReszkes, and Plan con are appreciated as they nessarily-must be by musicians, but the attendance does not come up to expectations. Paderewski is in Italy at the present time and though it has been reported that he will visit this country next year, it now transpires that no decision has been reach ed, though it is probable that he will come.
