Willlam C.

Queer Things Sent by Parcel Post. The facilities of the parcel post are sometimes abused here as well as in other cities. This week on opening a pouch 1t was discovered that someone had taken a cigar box, filled it as full of eggs as possible, and sent it along on a jouptey to New York. The con- tents of the pouch showed the effects of an,_ application of raw scrambled eggs, but Postmaster Dimmick stated that this was only one case in many. Among other things which have come to the attention of the authorities is a box of honey, which melted ‘from-the heat of the pouch, but worst of all so far was the skin of a polecat. It is a common occurrence -for letters and other writing to be found in packages which have broken open, from improp- er packing or other cau: The truth of the matter is, Mr. Dimmick says, the authorities are not yet sufficiently equipped for the carrying on of the parcel post business in the proportions to which it has grown.

Entertainingly Shown Before Woman's Club by Mrs. Carter Barrell. At an entertainment given by the Willimantic Woman's club in _their rooms Tuesday evening, Mrs. Carter Barrell of Boston gave an entertaining and fnstructive talk on the folk songs of Europe, » 3 Mrs. Barrell stated that there was 3 great contrast in the dances and songs of the different nationalities and a marked difference between the songs and dances of the continent and those of the British Isles. All the songs, however, reflect the character and lives of the people and all have in com- mon a simplicity of verbiage and a singular lack of imagery. Sometimes the theme of these songs is sentimen- tal and again it is martial, Mrse. Barrell traced the growth of the folk songs and cited examples of its similarities and its differences in the several sections of the continent, illustrating her points with charac- teristic songs selected from each na- tion. Mrs, Barrell wore a court cos- tume of the Elizabethan era at which period folkk songs and dances recelved a fresh stimulus. Miss Hall assisted Mrs. Barrell in dancing the several gfolk dances in costume. The club room was filled to its capacity and both Mrs. Barrell's charming interpre- tation of the folk songs and Miss Hall's clever dancing won enthusiastic applause. K. OF C. COMEDY.
