United Electric Securities.

The special meeting of the United
Electric Securities Company, to be held
in Portland January 30, is said to have no
particular significance. The common
stock of the company is all held by the
General Electric Company, and the pur-
pose of the meeting is simply to settle
values and assets. As assets have shrunls
the company asks authority to reduce
the capitalization of the common stock
to meet it, and also wishes authority to
increase stock later if assets should
swell in value.

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
Marie Wainwright.


Miss Marie Wainwright produced aThe
Social Swim" by Clyde Fitch, adapted
from Sardou, so the bill said. Possibly
some of the bright sayings, of which
there are many, were adopted from that
celebrated playwright, but the piece
lacks action, and an underplot of lively
character. The characters of Mr.. Burton
by Barton Hill, Mrs. Burton -Smyth by
Miss Wainwright and Mrs. Royce-Jones by
Miss Georgia Busby were we'll taken.
but didn't seem to afford much oppor-
tunity for their abilities to display them
selves. The other parts were fairly
assumed. Miss Wainwright's dresses were
handsome and the piece was prettily
staged.

ID letters in the
loudest kind Of
type, the broadcast vocab-
ulary Of adjectives and
the most horid express
sions of praise might be
USED to startle you into
reading the announces
ment Of our annual clear
ing sale, but that is not
our way of getting your
attention, as you know.
We prefer to have your
thoughtful consideration
to the following quiet
facts, which we are pre-
pared to stand by and
back up in every way, and
we have written them
with the confidence that
when you get here you
will be inclined to agree
that we haven't been half
enthusiastic enough in
describing the bargains
which the following list
briefly enumerates.
1t is only because it is
the ending Of our business
year, the roundup of the
past twelvemonth's trade,
the elimination of all our
efforts for the past fifty
two weeks and a desire
to start a new year with
as small and clean a stock
as possible that we are
making such sacrifices.
You have been deluged
with bargain sales" all
through January, and are
quite tired of the very
word bargain perhaps,
nevertheless we feel GER
tain that this last demand
on your patience is quite
as much for your benefit
as for our own. We are
thereby encouraged to
make this advertisement
rather longer than usual
and to go into details
more, you can hardly af-
ford to miss reading every
word Of it.
