One item of the programme will attract attention for its combination of amusement and instruction. The Conversazione will consist in a large measure of an entertainment in which every item will be of folk-lore interest, as will be seen by the following list of the items, which, however, is only issued as a preliminary announcement. The children's games, it should be observed, have been left entirely unaltered in form, the supervision extending only to the time allotted to each game, and some trifling necessary details.
