This was Gigli's first concert since Detroit police cancelled his engagement in that city after he had received a number of threatening letters.

In the stage seats, among hundreds of overflow spectators, were three men in black shirts, apparently nonpolitical, who applauded with the rest. Among Gigli's numbers were the 'Paradiso" air from "Africana;" "M' Appari" from "Marta;" a duet from "Boheme," sung with Rosa Low; the flower song from "Carmen;" "La Donna Mobile" from "Rigoletto" and "Goodbye, Marie," sung in English.

Easter week is beginning to look as colorful as Christmas vacation. The latest addition to the social calendar is a small dance to be given at the Heights Casino on the evening of April will be called the "Dance of 'one Hundred," because only that number can be accommodated in the small room in which the dance is to be held. The diffcult problem of deciding who shall be invited has been solved by a rather novel system, whereby the girls on the committee make up the list of the boys to be asked, and the boys on the committee decide what girls they would most prefer to have come. The patronesses sponsoring this new experiment are Mrs. Ira Bertine Downs, Mrs.

Frederick Fischer, Mrs. Lewis W. Francis, Mrs. William H. Good, Mrs.

William C. Greenwood, Mrs. Stanley P. Jadwin and Mrs. Frederick D.

MacKay. Those committee are the Misses Allothe Bennett, Elizabeth Deyer, Alexandra Downs, Elizabeth Greenwood, Janet MacKay' and Elizabeth Rhoades, and Lee Boynton, Coverly Fischer, Lewis Francis Russell Harding, Charles Hester and Ford Hibbard. Mrs. William Van Anden Hester of the Gladstone Hotel, Manhattan, has, gone to Atlantic City, N. for short stay.

Mr. and Mrs. William Van Anden Hester who have been making a week's visit here, will return tomorrow to Washington, D. where they have been spending the winter. On May 1 they are to come back to Brooklyn for good.

Then came the last of a great triumvirate. I refer to my friend, Newell Dwight Hillis, who combines the greatness of his two predecessors.

Dark Hours of Fear and Doubt. Did I dare stand over against such a background? Was it the wish of God and Hig willl? "Dark hours of doubt and fear went over my head. The morning came at length and with it came conviction. Now I am sure of my way. "In the light of the consecration of the committee presenting your call, and the assurance of your consecration; in the light of an outpouring public heart, revealing itself in numberless messages of cheer; in the light of conviction that it is the will of God, I dare yield to your gracious call and confidence, accepting them in the name of our Saviour Jesus Christ." In his sermon, Dr.

Durkee appealed to his congregation make Jesus an actual part of its daily' existence. "Jesus will come us on three conditions," he said. "First, we must really love Him: second, we must really understand Him; third, we must really co-operate with Him." He spoke of the awful influence adults have in shaping the lives of young people with whom they come in contaoct. "Men and women let me charge you never to injure a boy or a girl," he concluded.
