What Is Doing in Social, Club and Art Circles. ..'..- .. f Miss Elizabeth R. Thomas

To even the close friends of Miss Mary Kaufman -her fine work in the j part of 0Prtscilla the leading role in the opera of that name to be given shortly, will prove a revelation and a delightful surprise. This enthusiastic and talented singer has been working for some time under Mr. Edward Taylor, who is producing the opera and her progress and development is marked. When the time comes for the opera to be given. Miss Kaufman will be so perfect and clever in her part that her work will go far to bring success to the production. Her scenes with Alden and Standish are immense. June 1 and 2 are the dates set for this great performance. ' J J Mr. Hans Schroeder of Chicago the celebrated baritone who assisted in a recital given in thid city recently, made a veryfavorable impression last evening in Indianapolis when he sang at the Robert Park Choral society in its production of Gounod's mass in honor of 8t. Cecelia at the Roberts Park M. E. church. The Star says that "he Is gifted with a remarkably poised voice, admirably suited to such compositions as thoee of Schubert, Schumann and Brahms, which were among his selections last night." The Choral society's singing of Gounod's mass was thoroughly . pleasing in most respects. The , composition was weakened noticeably 'by the substitution of English for the original Latin, for which the music was written, a substitution' that made impossible the shades of expression in certain portions of the mass that are given in Its true form. The chorus evidenced conscientious effort at perfecting the composition, however, and ine result was one 01 compliment Dotn to the chorus and 'to Edward Taylor, the director. Mr. Taylor is directing the opera "Priscilla" which will be given in this cty June first and second under the auspices of the ladles auxiliary of the Y. M. C. A. ' J Miss Mary Seaton of Indianapolis, who- was expected In the city last Friday, to be the guest sot Miss Ruth Qilohrist waa unable to come. HowVr Mill ftoaton hx arranged tn come over. Friday. Saturday evening Miss Gilchrist will entertain at cards. Mir. George. . Moore, pf Indianapolis, will be among the guests at this time.

Miss Mable Hasemeier and Miss Mable Reller will attend a dance at Liberty, next week. - ... js ' j jS ... v: In another month school boys and girls will be looking toward the goal for which they have striven since the days when, In short frocks and knickerbockers, they started ; for sohool and that is graduation. Par ents and friends are. looking now for appropriate gifts for the young peo ple.' V'. "" :'-'r Of these there are many. Books, of coruae. are most acceptable. One wants an attractive volume of favor ite poems or the latest novel, gotten up with good illustrations and a fas cinating cover. And along with books are a wide selection of excellent pictures framed In exceedingly good style. , , A gift which any boy or girl is sure to be delighted with- is a coat sweater of gray or white. For the summer vacation, whether at aaaabort or mountain's, it Is indispensable. . The Angora ones are light and warm, but are rather more expensive than the heavier woolen ones. For the boy or girl who plays tennis a racquet of their favorite make will be warmly accepted. - . . Then there are light imlined gauntlet gloves of soft buckskin, a rubberized silk overcoat, chiffon veil and other little . accessories 1 for the girl who motors.'

graved with initials or monogram, for the boy or girl who rides.

Just now the jungle is being heard from in more ways than one. The shops are showing Jungle scarf pins which are most attractive. They are lions and tigers mounted on baroque pearls and very lively looking monk eys and elephants with jeweled eyes. There are gayly colored tropical birds done in mosaics and enamel. While these may be only a' short-lived fad they are now the smart thing. Cuff links and cravat clasps of plain and frosted gold with initials in English block letters are a good choice for a boy. Strings of crystal beads are very attractive for a girl, and neck charms of aqua-marines and lapis lazuli pendants hung on fine gold chains are sure to make some girl happy, js Jt J Mr. and Mrs. Wesley Coppock were delightfully surprised by their children and relatives at their home in Arba. The affair was in honor of Mrs. Coppock's birthday anniversary. At mid-day an elegant dinner was served. Owing to the Inclement weather some of the guests were unable to attend. Those participating in the event were Mr. and Mrs. Omer Coppock, Mr. and Mrs. Elbert Coppock, Mr, and Mrs. Elsie Coppock, Mr. David J.. Coppock and wife. Miss Nellie Goppock, Miss Hazel Coppock, Mr. Ralph Coppock and Miss Mildred Coppock.

J Jt jl - Miss Mildred Kubn will go to Lafayette. Indiana in a few weeks to attend a house party to be given by a club of young men, who are attending -school at Purdue university. Several Richmond boys will be among the hosts. , jl jl jl There are many settings to the famous old story of the "Courtship of Miles Standish" some dramatic, some musical, but there is none so full of excellent , musjc and clever story as the opera under the title of "Priscilla." While. the main i points of the historic episode are adhered to, there is a great deal of interesting dialogue among the characters given. We are aid familiar with Priscilla and John Alden. Miles Standish, "the doughty captain," and Governor Bradford. In addition to these are the three "Mayflower Buds," friends of Priscilla, "Squanto," the reformed red man, and. on the comedy side. "Resignation," the old maid, and "Hatebad Higgins," the vlllian of the opera. The story thus interwoven is full of Interest and fun. while the music throughout the opera Is-of a superior order. The orchestration to be used in the production adds materially to the effect. Mr. Taylor, under whose direction the opera will be given, has been unusually successful in this production without exception. All lovers of music for its own sake, .aside from the benefit, will realize, in attending "Priscilla," the full value of their money and time. The opera will be given on Tuesday and Wednesday, June first and second at the Gennett theater and the tickets are at popular prices, in the hands of the members of the company and the Ladies Auxiliary of the Y.

ORDIHAHCE WHS BEFORE COUIICIl No Action Was Taken on the Measure, It Being Laid Over for Two Weeks With the Milk Ordinance. KICK REGISTERED ON SALARY AUTHORIZED Councilman Von Pein Objected To a Proposed Trespassing Ordinance Other Routine Matters. An ordinance fixing the duties and specifying the salary of the food inspector of the city was read at the council meeting last evening, but the matter was postponed until the next meeting, at which time its "side partner," the milk ordinance, will be up for consideration. The ordinance outlines the duties of the inspector empowering him to visit all dairies where the product is sotd in this city; to make recommendations as to improving the dairies and gives most stringent power, that of revoking a license when a dairyman fails to live up to the provisions of the ordinance. Inspector's Salary. The inspector's salary was fixed at $90 per month, but objection to this amount was made by Councilman McMahan. He said that there were plenty of persons who were willing to accept the position at $ti0 a month. This question will probably be decided at tbe next meeting.

Councilman Von Pein objected to the passage of an ordinance preventing citizens trespassing on railroad property, and. using the. river banks as a dumping ground, as requested by the state railroad commission, in two cir-1 culars read to the council. Mr. Von Pein's strenuous objection was roada on the ground that the ordinance would not be enforced, for to make possible its enforcement the city would have to employ a large number of additional policemen to watch for violators of this one ordinance. He declared that he objected to ordinances which could not be enforced, saying that the city had too many on its books at the present time. Other councltmen were of different opinion and the ordinance suggested by tbe railroad, commission was referred to the ordinance committee and tbe city attorney. A communication from John Hallowell, president of the board of works, Btating that the improvement of North A street from Fifth to Seventh streets, by the laying of cement sidewalks, could not - continue unless an ordinance providing for such was passed by council was read. The matter was referred to the streets and alloys committee. For Another Light. - It seems probable that an additional light will be placed at Eighth and Main street as a petition secured by councilman Bartel and signed by J. H.
