FINAL CONCERT PLEASES

son in Washington.

prano. appeared as soloist, and sang
Gustave Charpentier's air from Louise. a"
''Depuis le>Jour." and Charles Gounod S
Jewel Song" from Faust" in a charm
ing and artistic manner
Miss Kaspar has a voice of great range
and fiexibility, combined with a pleasing
personality.
The Beethoven Symphony was delight
fully played. the four movements joining
in the dance rhythm and song. which was
the controlling theme OF the entire SYM
phony. The second movement alone par
takes of a serious nature and suggests
pathos. A counter melody soon surges
above the sadness. however, and the
climax. as asserted in the last theme. is
the quintessence Of triumphant ecstasy.

As John stood waiting in the drawing

homecoming and peace enfold him.
The door behind him opened suddenly,
and, turning, John found himself face

was in his heart.
There were the same grave, sweet
eyes, the pure brow, the exquisite
mouth; the same gracious dignity of
bearing; and yes, the hair was "brown

Give Your Wife a Square Deal.

Give Your Wife Square Deal.
Are you sure that you are giving
your wife a square deal? Perhaps she,
with all her charm doesn't happen to
have either great energy or executive
ability. She may not want any Occupa-
ton outside your home. She may not
be strong enough for anything else. In
that case she must get her experience
Of life second hand. She can, perhaps,
get much from her reading, from her
friends. She must, however, depend
mainly upon you. You must be her
point of contact with the larger life
outside your home. If you surround
your doings with an air Of mystery
make the patronizing assumption that
she can't understand the affairs which
interest and occupy you, you deliber-
ately narrow her life, you deliberately
lessen her chances for efficiency and
happiness. No matter how good a pro-
wider you may be, no matter how kind
and cOnsiderate, you are not giving her
square deal. This does not mean
that you should heap your business

mead. That would be as wrong as for
her to shift her domestic troubles to
your shoulders.
Perhaps you are so unfortunate as
to be disconnected with your wife She
is frivolous, eXtravagant, impractical.
You feel that her beauty does not coun-
teract these deficiencies? Probably that
is true, but who is to blame? Did
you marry her because she was eco
nomical, practical, a good housekeeper,
a good prospective mother? You were
fascinated by her because she was pref
ty, irresponsible, illogical and whimsi-
cal. You are now discontinued with
her because she is irresponsible, illogi-
cal and whimsical.
Did you think that a wedding ring
and a husband would change her ma
ture? Would you buy a horse because
he could travel in 2 10, and then be-
come disguised with him because he
couldn't haul bricks? Strange as it
may seem, the wife with whom you

CHANGING AMERICAN CITIES.
Boston, Once Third in Population,
Now in Fifth Place.

Boston, Once Third in Population,
Now in Fifth Place.
There is almost a touch of person
atty in the way American cities have
moved in relative position during the
last 100 years. Their changing for
tunes are full of suggestiveness. New
York, which had become the largest
city by 1870, has held its place in
front in every census up to the present
time, and now, with population more
than double that of its next competitor,
is not in immediate danger of losing
pre-eminence. Chicago first appeared
on the list in 1850, as the 25th Ameri-
can city. At. each census it made a
long stride and passed many competi-
tors until it reached second place in
1890.
st. Louis appeared one decade ear
lier than Chicago, and in 1850 had
jumped to the eighth place-a sensa-
tional advance. Philadelphia started
in the second place, has never been be-
low fourth, and is to-day the third
American city.
Boston started as third and stands
to-day the fifth, says Harper's Week
ly. Charleston, the fourth city in the
original list, lost steadily In relative
position until, in 1880 it appeared for
the last time among the first 90. Bal
timore has kept it's place very evenly.
Northern Liberties, the sixth city In
the first census, and Southwark, the
10th, are now part Of Philadelphia.
1t is interesting to study the inf1u-
ences that makes cities powerful the
world over. The greatest gathering of
the Chinese is at Canton. Hong Kong
Island, at the mouth of the Canton
river, was well nigh deserted until Eu-
ropean commercial interests found their
way into Asia, formed a new center of
population and founded a city that Is
already great. European cities have
not had so many ups and downs as
those of America, although the popula-
ton of Rome has shown extraordinary
fluctuations.
