brilliancy that has won for them the
reputa tion OF being the greatest musical

diversified one, and Il is hard TO say
whether the more difficult classical selec-
tions which exploited the technique OF
the aggregation OF players or the catchy
popular airs won the grea favor. They

cores, az indeed they were well-nigh COM
pelled to, for the audience simply would
not stop applauding until their demand
for encores was complied with.

style. The picture OF the stormy early life

charmingly drawn in free. broad strokes
which told the tale without showing te-
dious detail
The bursting forth OF the splendid ge-
MUS OF Dickens and the years OF prolific
literary productiveness were touched up
on In congenial manner and the audi
ence was brought closely In touch with
the personality OF the great master OF
narrative without realizing the change.
The versatility and spontaneity or the
master writer were dealt with and trite
quotations from the great novels from
his pen were happily introduced by Mr..
Vincent TO make his meaning all the
clearer

What Women Most Like.

A woman likes to be truly
loved and to be told so.
She likes some noble, honor
able man to be thoughtful of
her, kind and conslderate of her
welfare.
When we'll and becomingly
dressed, a quiet notice of it is
always appreciated.
A word of praise for a nice
dinner or supper often more
than compeusates her for the
worry and work of prepare
ton.
She wants her husband not
only to be her supporter but
her companion, remembering
that it is the kind word that
often brings her greater happi
ness than a new set of dishes
though presents like the latter
are always welcome.
She likes to be made realize
that she is good for something
besides mere household
drudge.
She likes to be petted occa-
sioually, but not in public. The
little private pet names are
very dear to a woman's heart.
