The Portsmouth Times, speaking of
Eastman's celebrated orchestra says:
st is aroup of musicians who are in
deed in their chosen vocation, and an
evening at one of their concerts is rare
musical treat"
Quoting another issue of the same
paper it says: n.
"The sweet inspiring strains of East
mans orchestra f1oated forth and for an
hour one of the finest concerts ever given
here charmed and delighted the audience,
The selections were varied and pleasing
and hearty applause followed each num-
ber.'
The above quotings speak with all
due modesty of the ability of the or
ganization, and you will not begrudge
the 25 cts. its costs you after hearing
them, which opportunity to do so will
present itself next Tuesday evening,
March 1st, at Armory Hall. After the
concert comes the grand ball-the So

including concert, supper at Hotel

Opinions differ as 70 whatconstitutes
an ideal hostess, but according TO a
number Of society women who were
recently discussing the subject, there
are some of the Indispensable qualities
she must possess: She must make you
feel individually that you are the IA
yored guest. She must make you feel
perfectly at home, She must see every
thing. and yet possess the art of SEEM
jig to see nothing. She must never
looked bored. She must know how to
keep conversation always going. She
must never let anyone be sighted or
overlooked. She must know when to
ask the amateur musician to display his
or her talents. She must be perfectly
unselfish about her own pleasures. She
must not neglect her guests, and at the
same time must not give them too much
of her society. She must remember
that nothing is so tiresome. so surely
death to all enjoyment, as the feeling
that one is being entertained. In a
word, the ideal hostess must, above
everything, possess patience.-Cinein-
