" Juanita Rush of Ihe Herald Square Company a Descend of English Royalty. The biggest sensation eve ipruagon t!ie"appe:*"t3 i of E.i clish society was about eight rears ago, when the Countess of Varwick, a blue-blooded descen lant of one of the oldest Englis i aralies announced that she would >pen a millinery and lingerie ;tor.e on Broad street, London. The Countess was as good as ler word. The famous old Eng ish estate at Warwick castle had been sadly depleted by the "reck lessness of male heirs. The J .untess stopped her entertain ing, cut her calling list, except to intimate friends; and one bright June morning the Count ess of Warwick opened for busi ness. . : : . JUANITA RUSH PRIMA DONNA Herald Square Opera Co., To Appear at the Academy of Music Friday, Feb. 26th. That this spirit of independ ence was not confined to the Countess alone, is evidenced bj the fact that her beeutiful niece, . Jiaanita Rush, is now in America on the stage, not as a chorus I girl, but lending much charm to ! the leading roles of the Herald Square Opera Company. Miss Rush was educated m a private school in England. At 14 she went to the convent of St. Francis D'Assasi, at Rouen. At 16 she had scaled the walls of the con vent, taken a train and boat to London, and clamly walked iff upon Arthur Bourchier at the Garick Theatre, London, who engaged her as an understudy to the then celebrated Al'ce Lloyd, appearing in Miss Lloyd's part when that lady was stricken with fever. At the close of the Garrick season Miss, Rush, accompanied by her tutor and maid, came to New York, where Manager Pic quet engaged her as prima donna soprano with the celebrated Herald Square (comic) Opera Company, the young lady mak ing a decided hit in the part of "Serjna," the Pasha's daughter in "A Trip To India," and will appear here next Friday night. Hickory Honored. Signor D'Anna of the Music Department of Claremont Col lege was given a grand ovation at a concert held in his honor in Winston-Salem on Feb. 15. The correspondent of the society no tes from that city writing last Sunday's Charlotte Observer says: "The grand concert given in memorial hall last Monday night in honor of Signor D'Anna marked an era in musical circles in the twin city. The appear ance of Signor D'Anna was the I signal for enthusiastic demon strations which were fully justi fied bv his splendid vocal solos, two of which Were rendered in Italian. It must have been spesially grstifying to this gifted musician who once had charge of the music in the Academy and college." Claremont and Hickory are honored by having such a musi -1 cian in our town. Signor D'Anna will sing at Claremont next Mon day night. 1 Society News. i A m VJI-V WWWV VWVWWW WWWWv* » Mrs. Le Roy Whitener enter tained the Round Dozen Book club last Wednesday with twelve members present. Tne quota tions were from the books since last meeting. The discussion or the books and tie hostess' cri i cism of her especial book "Bud" were much enjoyed. Mrs. Whitener delighted the club by reading a very clever gtory from "T.ie Circle. After current news and adjournment, the hos tess served dainty refreshments, in two courses. Carnations, hyacinths and daffodils added to the pleasures of the evening. The next meeting will be with Mrs. J. B. Gibbs on March 3rd. Thursdav Feb. 18, Miss Josie Person was the hostess of the Traveler's Club. Heracles or Hercules was the subject for quotations. Mrs. K. C. Menzies presented the first topic, Xeno phon's life and writings, giving in an interesting manner, a broad view of this representa tive Greek of the 4th Cent. B C r and the wide and varied field of his writings. Miss Essie Seagle ! with fine taste in selection gu\e ! the story of the Auabasis, tne j best and most interesting of the | works of Xenophon and Mrs. i Chad wick, the Memorabilia or ' Recollections of Socrates. In .this last article Socrates as a man rather than is a philosopher is portrayed by his Boswell. Mrs. Chadwick read a few selec tions from her own translation, aid also "The Banquet," which gives a perfect picture of the philosopher at a gay Athenian sjpper party, very vividly and full of rolicking humor. Mi's. K. C. Menzies read the first extant prose love story in European ! literature, the tale of Abradates and Panthea. The quartette, Mesdames Murphy, Chadwick, W, L. Abernethv and Mrs. J. L. Cilleysang "Drink to me only with thine eyes." At the last meeting the same quartette sang the Chorus "Thou comest here to the land" from Sopocles' Oedipusin Colonos with music by Mendelssohn which masterpiece of two geniuses was heartily enjoyed by the club. After refreshments which were served by the kind hospitality of this gracious hostess adjourn ment followed to meet next with Mrs. C. Mi Shuford. Mesdames Edwina Chadwick, j Charles Chadwick, and Miss j Helen Chadwick gave a bridge party Monday afternoon. F/om the eight tables Mrs W. X. Reid received the prize, a framed picture of George Washington, in remembrance of the day being his birthday. Miss Josie Person had the consolation prize for lack of luck. After refreshments, the guests left finding it quite difficult to express adequately their pleas ure in "the lovely time." Mrs. Charles Menzies cele brated Shrove Tuesday by a Bridge party the afternoon of Feb. 23rd. Mrs E. B. Menzies from the seven tables gained the prize, a large bouquet of pink carnations and Mrs. Bryan Jones the second prize, a pack of cards. The profusion of flowers, jonquils, hyacinths, daffodills, carnations and roses and the flower-like little maidens of the hottess were an added pleasure to the guests who enjoyed, also the dainty refreshments served at the close of this pleasant social hour.

Thaaa Observers Were Wholly Per sonal In Their Judgments. "The critical faculty Is rare," said an editor and critic at a Philadelphia art club. "It must be Impersonal. But most of us Incline to be wholly per sonal In our criticism. The fact was broujrbt home to me at one of the exhi bitions at the Academy of Fine Arts. "Passing from picture to picture. 1 overheard many criticisms. Thus a lady in a rich gown said: " 'What a superb portrait of a young girl! It should certainly win the Car negie prise. It Is easy to see that the gown was made by Paquln.' "A fat. red nosed man in a fur lined overcoat halted before a picture enti tled "I'he Luncheon.' " This still life,' he exclaimed, 'ls the most admirable I have ever seen. Terrapin, canvasback. champagne, lob ster, even Perigord pie- ah, what a genius.' " 'ln this historical painting.' 1 heard an antiquary t«ay. 'the costumes are ac curate in every detail. The painter is a second Raphael.' " 'That borse there/ said a young polo player, is exactly like my Poda sokus. It's the best picture in the ex hibition.' "An athlete uttered a cry of delight before a daub called 'The Gladiator.' ".'What shoulders! What arms!' he Bald, i bet anything the jury gives this painting the highest award.' "AnJ half the throng, departing, said: " The picture in the last room is the beat No, we didn't see ft—couldn't get to it.

The American army was rapidly dwindling away, poverty was staring congress in the face, and the forces of the king, supplied with all necessary comforts, were flushed with victory. Iu those circumstances Wash ington executed a movement of the highest military skill. In the dead of a wi uter's night he transported bis army, with its baggage and artillery, across the Delaware unperceived and almost In the presence of the enemy. From his position at Princeton he compelled the British to abandon their operations In New Jersey and withdraw to New York." RINGS DYSPEPSIA TABLETS Relievo Indigestion and Btomach Troubles. Warded Off the Blov - A benevolent lady in a Mid ?an vil lage undertook to fill a hungry tramp who came begging to her door. The saucy fellow found fault with tlie vict uals, laughed at the patent leather pie and ended up by remarking that he never expected to fully recover from the damaging effects of that meal. When the husband came home at night and heard the story, he was mad clear through. "You cowardly chump!" said the man to his son. "When you heard that crit ter talking that way to your mother, why didn't you come and tell me? I'd 'a' walloped him." "I heard him, pa, but 1 was in the back yard and thought it was you. He went on just the same as you do when the grub doesn't suit. I didn't think any body else could have the cheek to talk to mother that way." il I
