NORDICA IN CONCERT. What will undoubtedly be the most brilliant event of the present musical season it the appearance of Mme. Lillian Nordlca in concert in Indianapolis, on January 8th. With her beautiful personality and wonderful vocal and dramatic equipment, Nordlca is one of the most famous artists before the public. Her superb voice Is under such perfect control that it can produce the required tone qualities to express every possible sentiment. Melba, Nordlca, Eames. Sembrich and Tetrazzlni are admittedly the greatest sopranos of the day. but on the concert platform Nordlca is unrivalled, one reason being that she Is a wonder-

iui program nuuaer ana ner concert programs are always, of .gwsat . beauty aad variety and welPchosen to display the singer's consummate art; another reason is her magnetic personality and dramatic temperament. Without

costume or stage setting, so great is Iter art, that she brings the whole scene rlvldly before her auditors and the bare concert platform is for the moment transformed to the scene of her song. No program which this famous singer could give would be complete without the "Erl-king,' of which she gives a matchless rendition and It is promised that this number will be included in her program here. There will also be a number of English selections as Nordica is an enthusiastic advocate of song in the vernacular and was the first to attempt to sing Wagner in English. The seat sale for Madame Nordica's Indianapolis concert Is being conducted by subscription, the prices ranging, from $1.00 to $2.50. Orders addressed

to the Manager of the Shubert Murat theater will be promptly cared for.

Lontz at her beautiful . home in Westcott place, complimentary to Mrs. Harry Lontz. a recent bride. Thursday afternoon the affair will be in the nature of a bridge party. Friday a large reception will be given by Mrs. Lontz.

LAST MINUTE GIFTS. The scurrying days are on i.s, when things to be done pile up in an appalIng way. Our gift list is in a demoralized condition. We haven't found many of the things we wanted, or else they were beyond our purse. Wo have added some names that weren't on it at the start. And although some names are crossed off, their gifts having been satisfactorily found, there are more than we like to see at this late date, whose gift has yet to be discovered. And we feel that we have looked so thoroughly, that there is nothing new to find. How about a cut glass glove-box, or other article of this sort for the bureau? It is handsome. It is useful. Best of all, it is easily kept immaculate, which cannot be said of all the accessories provided for the - bureau and dressing table. Many are exquisite, but if used every day, they soon become dusty and soiled, and their cleaning is no eaay' task. The hatpin-holder fcthat stands up is very easily overturned when filled with long and heavy hatpins. Very dainty is one style in the shape of a slipper with the holes so arranged that the pins when in it lie horizontal. A hatpin-holder is almost a necessity nowadays, and one of this kind will no doubt be greatly appreciated. And while on the subject of hatpins, take a look at those in your friend's winter hat. See if those she is using are in harmony with her hat, or are last season's pins. Many a girl is sticking hatpins that went with her blue hat under the flowers or velvet

of her red hat hoping no one will notice their Incongruity. Her allowance hasn't stretched yet to the getting of new pins to match her -winter hat. The girl who has a chafing dish may possess every other necessity for it but a chafing dish cook book. .Little volumes come especially for this sort of cookery, and will help her get np some new dishes for the delectable little repasts she serves. Have you thought of slipper buckles, or rosettes or bows in the color of your friend's party dresses? With a change of buckles or bows, a girl can make one pair of slippers do the work of a half dozen. Little harmonious touches like these have much to do with the success of a toilette. The girl who gets to many dances would no doubt be delighted with such a gift. The girl who has just started to board or room would perhaps be very glad to receive a work-box, or at least a mending outfit in some form. If she does not live at borne, and her mother

has mended her clothes for her, she may not yet have the necessary equipment for doing her mending herself. The girl too, who likes pretty pictures, but may not be able to buy them, would ind in a passepartout outfit much delight. It would enable her to frame inexpensively, the many pictures she no doubt has been saving in the hope of sometime getting them framed. An outfit, too, for piercing brass would be acceptable, for it would enable her to make many pretty things for her room. Perhaps your sister or cousin or most intimate girl friend is longing for a beautiful plume for her hat. She may feel that she cannot afford to buy it, but for that very reason, she craves it all the more. A beauty in a Christmas box would bring joy to her heart. Almost every one of the feminine1 persuasion likes dainty things for her;

toilet table. Sachet, toilet, fine perfume, manicure articles there ieji host of things to choose from, andyou may be sure that a gift of thip sort will be welcome. Muncie Star.
