dear old gentleman recently made an

very thoroughly in the future Of the

in complimentary language on this oc-
casion. He was especially endeavor-
ing to impress his hearers with the
idea that when college days we're end

on their laurels, but should make it
point to play the part in the world
that is BETTING educated, trained

Burden of War Debt.

Bostonian's Genius Recognized.

Philip Hale, the eminent Boston
musical critic, has long held an en-
viable position among musical littera-
teurs as the most erudite and incisive
of contemporary musical critics. Mr..
Hale studied for the law and was ad-
mitted to the bar four years after his
graduation from Yale in 1876. Sub
sequent1y he studied music in Ger
many and the organ under Guilmant
in Paris. He has been prominent in
musical journalism for more than a
dozen years and editor of the Boston
symphony program books since 1901.

Mr.. Hale on a certain occasion, lis a

To Dry the Umbrella.

TO preserve an umbrella so that it
vii last long enough and not look
shabby it should be carefully dried
each time it is carried in the rain.
To do this it should never be stood on
the point, thus permitting the water
to trickle down, spelling the silk and
making the wires rusty, says the Gen
tlewoman. Neither should an UNI
brella be opened to dry, for in this
way the silk is stretched. and later it
becomes baggy, and it is impossible
to furl it smoothly. The correct way
to dry an umbrella is to shake it
sible and then stand it on it's handle
to drain.
