A first prize ofr$t$ and a second prize of $10 are offered by Paul T.

Skokie school Saturday morning, April 14, by Use Forster, interpreter of chil- dren's songs. Full information will be supplied by Mr. Gilbert on writing to him at 12 South Market street, Chicago. The posters wilUte judged by a com- mittee to be appointed by tfte school au- torities, and will be placed on exhibition before the concert. Miss Forster comes to sing about gin- gerbread boys, big brown bears, Japan- ___egg-dollies, and other-subjeets-dear to the child heartâ€"and to the hearts of the grown-ups, as well. She will sing a group of Chinese folk songs in a costume once worn by an empress of old China. In other groups she will appear as Daffy-Down Dilly and Bo-Peep, and those who have heard her say that she is like a delightful Mother- Goose character stepping from the pages of a book to sing the songs the children love. An evening program will be given by Cyrena Van Gordon, -prima donna of the Chicago Opera company; Miss Fors- ter in costume numbers; and Harold Ayres, violinist. This will be the only opportunity of hearing Miss Van Gordon until the next operas-season in November, when she will again sing Brunhilde in "The Valkyire," Amneris in "Aida," and the Spring Fay in "The Snow Maiden."
