Shakespeare's amusing and romantic I tale, "The Merry Wives of Windsor," set to fantastic music by Nicolal, the whole . comprising one of the merriest and most entertaining of the comic operas, will be presented Thursday and Friday evenings at The Auditorium for the benefit of the Portland chapter of the American Red Cross. More than 100 of Portland's professional musicians will participate. This production will be sung in Eng lish. It has 'lilting melodies and the lines are a laugh from beginning to end. A. E. Davidson makes an ideal Falstaff, whoso-many love affairs bring him Into a succession of amusing situations. Mr. Davidson, was formerly with the Savage Grand Opera company and with "The Alaskan," one of the John Cort productions. Miss Eloise Anita Hall is cast as Mrs. Ford, which part affords excellent opportunities for the display of her coloratura voice. Mrs. Mischa pelz combines rare personal beauty with a voice of lovely quality which she uses to advantage, in the part of Anne Page. Mrs. Ora Bess Seeberger, who has done -successful light opera work, is admirably cast as Mrs. Page.

""On Thursday evening we had decided to go to our own beds for a change." said she "We were billeted in a quaint old cement house, formerly owned by the mayor and the only Intact one in the village. Downstairs was occupied chiefly by hena and cows, while my sisters, myself and other- girls occupied me upper apartments.

Violet Williams of Ra cine, Wis.; Miss Symmonds and Miss Williams, who had arrived from the states about a week before. "We were awakened about 4 o'clock in- the morning by the ringing of the church bell. The shelling had started and one of the first ones struck right under the clock. We grabbed our gas masks and put them on and it was .not a minute too soon, for we certainly got a whiff of the horrible stuff before they were on. The girls were not a bit frightened. They all took it as a lark and it was certainly funny to see them sitting on the high French beds with their masks on. After a -while we began to wonder why no 'gas signal' had been sounded. out in a Bhort time the 'all clear signal was given. 'After a while the girls got restless and wanted to take off their masks. I agreed to take mine off long enough to investigate and get a flash light. "The other girls helped me to take it off but no sooner had I done so than I got i another whiff. Then more shells came along. Soldiers Hate to See Girli Go 'By daylight ambulances bearing I wuuuueu ouiaiers Degan lO appear around 'dead man's curve.'

Six American girls all ensigns in the Salvation Army canton back or the trenches had a narrow escape from chlorine gas as well as from shells during the battle of Selcheprey. Gas fumes and bombs of large caliber were hissing and roaring all about. But despite these dangers the workers pleaded with their commander to be allowed to stay and serve hot coffee and cocoa to the men coming out of the first line trenches. Although the commander admired the pluck of the girls, he was compelled by his duty to order them out of the village. Vernon Graduate Talks Some of the girls today told me how they felt to be under shell fire, while near to the field of actual fightings , au were cool and collected and army officers are loud in their praise of them. The daring of these Salvation girls Is a proud record. The people in the United States are not aware of thA dangers nor how close these workers ariaimy snowed great courage in sav ing our baggage.
