Daisy has fallen in love with Bob
Wallach the son OF a former mayor Il
Washington. Now Bob is POOR and
pretty and the parents Of the heiress do
not consider him promising ard they
planned to get Miss Daisy away from,
Washington before any concerted acton
could be planned by the lovers. Mr..

sibly to attend the Que MS Diamond

was kept out Of the secret. Tut came in
to it by accident through visit from a
scion OF the house OF Brice. Young
Brice unfortunate " congratulated Miss
Daisy upon her approachir G visit abroai
and was surprised at a htsiy exit from
the room. Daisy was overwhelmed at
the news, and ran t. her ANNA TO ask
il it were true. Mrs. Letter promptly
confirmed the rumor, and explained that
a little surprise WAS being planned,
which it vas thought best TO keep until
the last momeat. All the glory OF at
tending the queens drawing room was
pictured to Daisy, tut for her it had no
charm. Thoughts of the sei araiion
from the country Of her lover were o
melancholy to permit any sensation to
possess her. To her rCom she went and
there in solitude and tears she wrote to
Bob to come pos.-has'e and thwart
this scheme. Bob came in accordance
with the Invita- on, but not like the
lover of yore with Ladder and guitar.
It was the following morning ard three
minutes before train time. At such
ime and at the P,nnsyivarii railway

No such event in the annals of mu-
sic in Maine ever took place as the
festival that was held in Bangor last
week and is being held in Portland
this week. IL was an epoch making
event; in time to come it will be re-
ferred 10 the assembling point of
forces that turned State music ward
toward fuller appreciation of the
elevating influence and power of good
music.
1t was herculean undertaking. but
it was brought to a successful termi-
nation by the combined efforts of its
interchangeable director, Prof w R.
Chapman, of New York, his wonder
full wife and the enormous business
capacity OF Homer y. Chase, of Au-
burma trio before whose irresistible
energy obstacles fed as from cy-
clone.
AS a musical event it was an un-
qualified success; il demonstrated the
possibilities of the development of
music in this community, both the
ability to execute and the capacity to
appreciate it The performances
We're by no means perfect, the selec-
tons We're not all within the compre-
hension of the audiences, not all the
soloists were equal to the parts as
signed, the chorus was not we'll bal
Int al
what extent it may be true, counts
for little or nothing against the one
great fact that it has brought all
Maine to realizing sense of its latent
capacity for making music; it is the
beginning Of a movement that will
affect the minds and the morals OF the
State to an inconceivable degree.
To have heard Nordca and Blau-
welt and Williams and Duff is worth
all it cost; to have got taste of the
great masters of music has only
served to whet the appetite for more;
to learn of the lives of music writers
is liberal education; to be able to
sing the masterpieces-in solo or cho-
rus-is an inspiration
This years festival is merely the
suggestion of greater things to come
- greater singers, better choruses,
more attention to music everywhere,
and hence more of life and better
living.
And Bangor shall be the Bayreuth
