BROOKLYN LIFE. The Plans of the Yale Dramatic Association. Arrangements are well under way for the visit of the Yale University Dramatic Association which is to give a performance on the evening of January first at the Brooklyn Academy of Music. As yet the play to be produced has not been chosen, but a decision will be made very shortly. The policy of the Yale Dramatic Association has always been to give something worth while which would attract people for its intrinsic value and not simply as a college show.

The former successes of the Association include "Revizor" by Gogol, Oscar Wilde's "The Importance of Being Earnest," Sheridan's "The Critic," and Bernard Shaw's "The Devil's Disciple." At present a committee of students and faculty is reading a long list of modern and old plays in order to find something suitable for the annual trip during the Christmas vacation. This year there have been many changes in the club's itinerary. Starting from New Haven on the nineteenth of December, the opening performance will be given in Springfield on the same date. The twentieth and twenty-first will find the men in Providence and Albany respectively, Here they will break up in order to allow those who can to return home for Christmas Day. After this intermission the performances will be given in the following places: Pittsburgh, December twentysixth; Washington, the twenty-seventh; Baltimore, the twentyeighth; Scranton, the thirtieth; Plainfield, N.J., the thirty-first, and Brooklyn, January first.

This year there will be no performance in Manhattan during the holidays. Later in the season, January twenty-fourth, a trip will be made to Morristown and New York, two performances being given in the Mr. Sullivan to Wed Mr. Palmer To The many friends in this borough of Mrs. Jessie De Forest Sullivan, formerly of Flatbush, will be greatly interested to learn of her wedding to-day, Saturday, to Mr.

Founders' Day will be celebrated by the Alumnae and undergraduates of the Packer Collegiate Institute next Friday afternoon in the chapel of the Institute on Joralemon Street. Last year for the first celebration of Founders' Day, members of the Associate Alumnae appeared in a pageant representing the classes since the Institute was first erected, showing the historic costumes of the periods, but this year an entirely different program has been arranged, consisting of music and an address by an eminent speaker. The musical program will include a group of songs by Miss Edith Chapin, a graduate of the class of 1906, who will be accompanied by Mr.

Edward Hearn of Manhattan. Miss Chapin, who is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Chapin of No. 21 Schermerhorn Street, went abroad to study singing after graduating from Vassar in 1908.

She spent one year in Paris and a year in London, studying under Mr. Arthur Philips and Mr. Jacques Tsuardon, and this will be her first appearance before her friends in Brooklyn. She possesses a voice of much sweetness and wide range. A Charity Card Party.
