The Man in the Case. 
It was a greatly pleased audience 
that witnessed the production of the 
comic farce in town hall Wednesday 
evening, given by the young ladies of 
the S.H.S. Alumni association. From 
the very beginning it was evident there 
was a ‘Man in the Case”’; but not 
till the climax at the very end did it 
become known who the man was, and 
even then the audience was not per- 
mitted to see him. 
The Hibernianisms of the French 
maid took the house, while Madame 
Bogusky and her “ Inner Cult’ hada 
most pleasing effect on the audience. 
Mrs. Mortressor carried off the part 
of ‘‘a great believer in Boston, but 
not thoroughly imbued with its cul- 
ture’ in a highly appreciable manner. 
Enid, her daughter, and Doris, her 
orphaned neice, who had lost all inter- 
est in life because of her“ Jack,” both 
showed talent in the handling of their 
parts. Gladys, a Radcliffe senior, 
carried her part off well. 
The cast was as follows : — 
Mrs. Montressor......... Edith L. Wheaton 
Pinid 2+. ace Gee scenes M. Agnes Coughlin 
Gladys Gadabout...Gertrude B. Goldsmith 
Madame Bogusky.......... Amy B. Haskell 
Aline Roquetes seer. Elizabeth V. Watson 
A ladies’ trio, consisting of Misses 
Carolyn E. Allen, Eva C. Hoyt and 
Mrs. Charlotte E. Bullock, sang 
‘‘ Love’s Golden Dream ”’ and “ Home- 
ward Bound” with pleasing effect, 
between the second and third acts. 
The farce was one of the best ever 
given in the town hall and showed to 
a marked degree the talent of the 
young ladies who took part.

NATURE’S COMIC OPERA. 
Down the lane we slowly wander, 
As the evening shadows lengthen; 
To the bridge that spans the brooklet, 
Where we pause to look and listen. 
Listen to the frogs and crickets, 
As their vesper songs so sweet 
Fills the air with joyful music: 
Nature’s orchestra complete. 
Hear the basso sound his key-note, 
As the beetle buzzes by; 
And we hear from yonder hemlock 
Tree-toads tuning shrill and high. 
Whip-poor-wills are whistling loudly 
In the darkness on the hill; 
And the bull-frog twangs his G-string, 
Keeping time with wondrous skill. 
Birds are softly cooing near us, 
Singing babies off to sleep; 
And the mother bird is scolding, 
As the youngsters talk and peep. 
But this sweet and charming chorus 
Has its discords ’tho they’re small; 
For the festive old mosquito 
Thinks his voice is musical. 
And his notes ’tho somewhat jarring, 
And his solo rather long ; 
Tis his bill we all object to: 
*Tis his bill and not his song. 
You may talk of ‘‘ Rusticana”; 
You may sing the “ Mascot’s 
But for nature’s comic opera 
Ever I my voice will raise. 
. Lan, 
praise ; 
And when they are all forgotten, 
And we hear their song no more; 
Nature’s song will still be ringing, 
Just the same songs as of yore.
