EW YORK society is always out in force on a Mon- 
be a Caruso night the audience is of unusual size and 
‘= interest, for it is no news to opera lovers that the 
__ mnajority of those who visit the Metropolitan wish to hear 
_ Mr. Caruso. Allison Armour was in the box with Mr. 
and Mrs. Edmund L,. Baylies. Society was also out in 
large numbers at Mr. Bagby’s musical morning at the

brings pleasure seckers to Palm Beach. Travel is be- 
coming so congested because of the increased number of 
golf and bathing enthusiasts who like to get away from 
winter and enjoy a few weeks of summer out of season, 
that accommodations have to be reserved weeks in ad- 
_ -vance. Next week special trains will be put in service 
to relieve the congestion and bring to the Florida coast 
the thousands of sojourners.

purple and gold along the sky —Henry Ward Beecher.

LARGER QUARTERS. 
Green & Swett Company, formerly 
of 737 Boylston st., Boston, owing to 
seeing “The Battles of a Nation,” 
said to be the finest war picture ever 
shown, To the Boston Opera House 
"are flocking all those interested in 
seeing why the present European con- 
flict has been called the most gigantic 
of world wars, and they will all make 
at least one resolution and will drink 
at least one toast—‘‘Peace on Earth!” 
For the spectacle that is shown in 
Boston, in depicting as it does the 
_ grimness and horror of war leaves no 
more lasting impression than a desire 
for peace. 
oe “The Battles of a 
Nation” shows 
a not maneuvering, not military prac- 
_ -tice, not skirmishes, not staged pic- 
tures of sham battles, but the actual 
pos bombardment of Warsaw, that gigan- 
‘tie battle which so turned the tide of 
he the Russian campaign. 
The second week of performances, 
every afternoon at 2 and 3.45, and 
every evening at 7.45 and 9.30, begins 
next Monday, January roth. 
“THE ONLY GIRL.” 
“The Only Girl,” whose popularity 
- in Boston far exceeds any musical 
comedy, presented in Boston in many 
nay 
to pack the Majestic Theatre at every 
performance with delighted audi- 
ences, 
“The Only Girl” possesses a certain 
charm too often denied musical plays 
in its tunefulness, brightness and 
breeziness that makes it most refresh- 
ing to see and hear after a day of 
work. One knows all the time, not 
only that he is enjoying the fun of 
“The Only Girl,” but knows ‘just ex- 
actly why, for its humor is of the 
sane kind. It is also tuneful through- 
out. A more lingering and sweeter 
theme. than “When You’re Away” 
has seldom graced our musical com- 
edy stage. 
On Tuesday. afternoon, Jan. rith, 
there will-be a special benefit per- 
formance of “The Only Girl,” the en- 
tire proceeds to be devoted to the 
fund organized for the relief of the 
two brave Boston firemen who so 
gallantly lost their lives at the Cam- 
bridge st. fire. 
When a young man discovers con- 
plexion powder on his coat collar he 
is apt to realize that he has been up 
against another nature fake. 
the increased demands made upon 
this popular and enterprising firm of 
autorobile accessories and supplies, 
have found it compulsory to secure 
larger quarters in order to cope with 
their ever increasing trade. The new 
headquarters at Sat Boylston street, 
which brings this firm one block 
nearer the corner of Boylston street 
and Massachusetts avenue, are so ar- 
ranged that they can carry a consid- 
erably larger stock of all and every 
well known modern necessity. Green 
& Swett Company is one of the lare- 
est automobile accessory and supply 
houses at wholesale and retail there 
ig in New England, and their large 
business has been built up upon a 
solid rock of “Square Deal” to every- 
one, no slashing and cutting of prices, 
and no cut-throat methods. <A very 
cordial invitation is extended to the 
general public to come in and inspect 
their new quarters and complete stock 
of automobile supplies and acces- 
sories. As Mr. Swett says, “Even it 
you do not care to buy, come in and 
see a regular line of real modern, up- 
to-date automobile and motorists’ 
necessities."-—New Eng. Auto List
