PADEREWSKI GIVES HIS
FAREWELL PIANO CONCERT
Large Audience Greets the Talented
Virtuoso and Gives a Royal
Reception to Him.

A royal reception was given to Pad
erewsh last night at the Alhambra.
The big theater was tested to its ca
pacity and the audience stormed with
applause when he finished his pro-
gramme. He was compelled to satisfy
three encores at the conclusion of his
work, finally ending with the Min
uet," his own composition, which
made a deep impression when he
played 1t during his, previous visit
here.
The skill and feeling with which he
handled the works of the masters
seemed to hold the audience in en-
chantment.
From the attendance and the recep-
ton given to Paderewski last night IT
is evident that San Francisco holds q
warm spot for the talented virtuoso.

the bookbinder can make it and many
excellent illustrations in photograyure

A holiday book that must find favor
with every one who has at home some
little folk to recall the days when life
was young and very fresh is The Age
Of Innocence" by Walter Russell
Though many have been the books Of
late that have sought to find the re-
Election Of childish joys and sorroWs
and to mirror the soul of the little one
before the elders fond eyes, no writer
has caught the spirit of the age of
innocence" more aptly than this one.
Remember the long, happy days Of
summer before you ever dreamed Of be-
ing q grown-up? asks the author at the
very start; and before one has finished
the first chapter he remembers those
days as If they were yesterday and
the memory brings up something of a
longing-a half whispered wish that
those days might come again. But
best through Mr.. RusselPs eye can we
catch that vista Of green woods, Of
musty hay barns and flower dotted
meadows that lies behind somewhere.
To read Of these things is TO envy all
little persons who are still cutting their
second teeth.
Since Mr.. Russell is as apt with the
brush as with the pen he has furnished
the illustrations for his own book-full
page miniatures Of the most fascinat-
ing children. They add greatly to the
books worth.

Flower Fables and Fancies" by N.
Hudson Moore is another attractive
holiday volume and one unique. In this
book the writer follows the course Of
the various flowers through song and
story. recounting all of the legends
clustered about special blossoms and
detailing the part flowers have had to
play in the lives Of many whom the
world has counted great. Mohammed
loved the violet, calling IL flower Of
humility" the lotus was the sacred
flower ordained by Buddha to be the
symbol OF his authority on earth; a
red and a white rose once sank their
roots into the best blood of England.
Thus are the significant histories Of all
the common blossoms recited by the
author. Excellent illustrations from
photographs and artistic marginal dec
orations make the book a dainty gift
