She was suffering still from hoarstness, but her art covered it up, and she sung the runs and trills, for Which the part calls, and that delight the old-time opera goers, with ease, @tace and finish, Besides, her acting left an impression of naturalness and eye refrained from overdoing the ath scene, Her projection of youth- fulness and the lovely frocks she wore ~Mias Hempel has learned much in the art of dressing since first she came to us from Berlin—wore valu- Able assets to her impersonation, Giacomo Damaceo, the new Italian tenor taking the place of Mr. Botta, till indisposed, sang the ungrateful part of Alfredo more or less accept- ably, but without a suggestion of the impassioned lover, Giuseppe De Luca, as the elder Germont, sang and acted well. It's a pity he destroyed the semblance of reality by coming back in the middle of the second act, to bow. and smirk in acknowledgmpnt of the applause. Ho can point to precedents. Mr. Caruso, for inst performance of “ day, came back to a nce, at the first ta” the other ene to the de- struction of illusion; but he did it with reluctance and he showed his annoyance at the violation of art and sense by curtsying like a debutante, and leaping off the stage like a Mord- kin, Minnie Egener was a beautiful Flora to the eye, but she lacked dis- tinction in voice and manner, This, perhaps, due to net sneas and Ee aN untamitarity with tho part.

For moderation in eating, as well as in drinking, makes for finer, cleaner living. Pure, wholesome beer usea in moderation is a food— liquid food, as Baron von Liebig styled it—possessing the same nourishing, body-building qualities as bread. A glass of well-brewed, pure beer will make your Christ- mas dinner taste better and make you feel better. RUPPERT’S Mnickerbocker The Beer That Satisties is especially suited for the Yuletide feast. It is a bever- age of absolute purity. It is the product of hygienic brew- ing, careful filtering, proper aging, sanitary bottling and thorough pasteurization, and is made from the very finest quality ingredients procurable, in a brewery where clean- liness is supreme.
