Boys and Children

Are influenced good deal in manners aud
disposition by the character of clothing
they wear. Nice, neatly fitting, well-made
clothing makes a boy think more of him,
self; excites his pride generally. Put cheap,
illdtting clothes on boy or child and he is
slouchy and Indifferent. Take your boys
and children to B. H. Levy & Bros and get
clothing and hats that you aud the boys will
be proud Of and that will cost you little
more than the alleged clothing you may
pick up on bargain counters and clear
ing OUT sales.-Ad.

Testimonial to Miss Adele Frost

Thursday evening. April 23, the Ford
Dramatic Association will tender a COM
plimentary testimonial to Miss Adele Frost.
who recently made such brilliant success
here as Parthenia in "Ingomar" The play
will be Lost in London" and Miss Frost
will play Nelly. The part of lilly will be
played by May Fawcett. and the other
parts will be taken good care Of by the
members Of the Ford association. The
affair will doubtless be quite an event in a
dramatic and social sense. Few young
actresses Of recent years have excelle1 Miss
Frost in the impersonation of classic roles,
and her two years Of starring tours have
certainly been a gratifying artistic success.
She of course had the disadvantage Of be-
ing stranger, but she has never failed to
give thorough delight to her audiences, and
her return engagements will assuredly be
profitable. She is young, and a brilliant
career awaits her. 1t is the intention Of
the Fords TO try and secure her services for
the summer seas IN, and it is hoped that she
will remain and give Savannah a chance
to regard her as an established fsvorite
here In the meantime the preparations
for the testimonial are being pushed.
