TOPICS OF THE THEATRE

To the average man it is always a
source of satisfaction to have his
opinions Endorsed by competent au-
tnority. and to those who demand
the critical approval of Europe in
matters musical before accepting
them, the success achieved by Sousa
and his band during their foreign
tour will justify an acknowledgment
of the artistic merits of the Sousa
concerts in addition to their always
admitted popular aspects. The col
lection of press criticisms of the
Sousa European tour are beyond
question the most remarkable series
of complimentary comments ever
evoked by an American organization.
These favorable notices were not con-
tined TO any particular city or coun-
try, but embraced all of the 80 differ
ent communities in which Sousa
played in France. Germany, Belgium
and Holland. S)usa will be at the
Burtis tonight.

The room in which the infant Is housed for the

furnishings OF the room should be simple. with no
more hangings and furniture than is necessary to
give it CHEEKY aspect. Everything should be
avoided that will exclude air and hold dust.
Running water open basins should never be
allowed in the nursery. and hard finished walls,
