E A ST NORTHFIELD, Mass.. Oct.
12. The fourth annual autumn sacred
concert by a chorus of 1.0UO voices, made
up of the 'combined student bodies of
Northfield seminary and Mount Ilermon,
will be given Sunday afternoon at the
auditorium at 3.3U. The program will
be made up entirely of hymns. There
will be wide variety in the types of
hymns, and parts of the program will lie
given by only part of the chorus, and
again the full capacity of the chorus and
instruments will be heard to advantage
in hvmns of great power. In the past
it has been found that the best effects
have been obtained by ranging from the
most delicate pianissimo of a few voices
to the most powerful fortissimo of the
whole group. The chorus will be sup
ported by the large pipe organ, two grand
pianos, and an orchestra of wind and
st rinsed instruments from both schools.
The conductor will he Nelson P. Cof
fin of Kevne, N.H.. the well-known con
ductor of the Worcester Music Festival
and the Mendelssohn Jlee club of New
York city. He will be assisted by the
music department of i the seminary:
Miss Clara IS. , Tillinghast ' and Miss
Marion Fisher, organists; and Miss Viva
F. Richardson. Miss Jennie E. Haight
and Miss Lena W. I,ockwood. pianists.
Inasmuch as the program is made up
entirely of hymns, there will be no so
loists. " There will be some unaccompan
ied singing. The time for preparation
for the concert has been short, since the
schools reopened for the fall term only
in the middle of September, but in the
past, under Mr. Collin's direction, un
usual results li'ive been attained in this
: hort time. Hundreds of visitors are
exnected from near by cities and towns

Valley railroad which extends from
Bellows Falls Miuth to Rrattleboro, 24

were built under the names stated be

the majority of the stock in each. A few

So Says Mrs. Grace Wilmot
at Better Homes Dem
onstration -
A gratifying attendance-of several hun:
dred persons was recorded at the Better
Homes demonstration yesterday after
noon and evening, and several hundred
remained last night to listen to the il
lustrated lecture on Interior Decoration
given by Mrs. Grace Wilmot of New
York city.
In the afternoon, a concert was given,
followed by a talk by Mrs. Wilmot on
home decoration. In the evening the
program began with a concert and Mrs.
Wilmot's illustrated talk followed. Alt
the benches on the main floor of Festival
hall were filled, the balcony was nearly
filled, and the standing room on tlie main
floor was well taken up.
Mrs. Wilmot was very enthusiastic
alHHit her art and showed familiarity
with her work from every angle. "As a
consulting decorator," she said, "I have
had a great opportunity to observe the
ignorance of the average housewife shown
in the selection and furnishing of lier
home. For five years I have labored
with women in an effort to educate them
.. !. tint flint furnishing -meant
more than just buying a rug, a lamp,
pictures or any of the things necessary
just for the purpose of making her home
attractive; that it meant assembling
these things to harmonize in line, color,
form and texture; to make an artistic
whole. In furnishing a room of any type,
it must be so furnished that it will func
tion in its own peculiar way. If this one
fact is grasped, decoration will proceed
in an orderly fashion."
The speaker feels the importance of
window coverings and their decorative
value, and to this end a number of slides
were shown giving ideas as to the va
rious treatment of windows 'from the
smaller ones to the larger sizes. Mrs.
Wilmot described her work as that of
attempting to build up the standards of
the American home, and decoration is
one of the ways in which this can be
done. She has gone from coast to coast
consulting with women on their problems
of decoration and has lectured Ln yearly
everv state in the Union.
Tonight at S o'clock, a musical pro
gram will be given by Miss Ruth Reed?
which will be followed by a talk on The
Budget System, in the Home by" Miss
Lvdia Potter,- state home demonstration
leader, of Burlington. F. K. Brown of
Community Service will give a talk on
playgrounds.' - .. -
Tomorrow afternoon, a musical pro
gam will be given, followed by special
