Educating Nurses


Philadelphia has an exhibition Of prac-
teal benevolence in the work Of the Phila-
delphia school for nurses. The annual
report shows that during the past year
1925 patients were supplied with
nurses, who otherwise couid not have
secured skilled nursing care. Four-fifths
of this service was rendered grstuitously.
1t was shown also that IN teaching
facilities, available working and number
Of students, the school is the largest in
world.
Several large classes Of students are
about to be enrolled in the Philadelphis
school, who will, doubtless, witness the
extension OF the work Of the institution
in accordance with plans aow developing
as q result Of the recent New England
conferences. A large number of free two
year scholarships are availsble to young
women throughout the entire country,
preference being given to those living in
the smaller towns and cities and the rural
districts. These scholarships include
room, board, laundering, uniforms, all
necessary instruction, and railroad fare
paid to the students home town upon the
completion Of the course. A preparatory
home-study course and short resident
course are also available to those who de-
sire to quickly prepare themselves for self
support but are unable to devote two
years to study. BY addressing the school
at 2219 Chestnut street, Philadelphia, full
details may be obtained.

written for the piano, but it has proved 80
pleasing that arrangements for violin,
cello, organ and many combinations Of
instruments have been published.
SECOND CONCERT.
The orchestral concert on Friday after
noon brings to lovers OF fine instrumental
music most attractive program with
three symphonic poems: Les PreIudes by
List, poetical meditation on Life, Love
and Death; the second, East and West, .
musical "reminiscences of a sojourn in
Persia by Blair Fairchild; the third, .
Tone Poem by Richard Strauss, Don Juan,
descriptive of the character of the change
able hero whose life was one constant
chapter Of longing and selfish searching
for pastures new in pleasure that always
ended in disappointment and finally in
tragic death.
Blair Fairchild, the young composer, Is
. native Of Boston, and is one Of few
wealthy Americans who have devoted
their energies to philanthropy and the
study of music. His versatility is bring
ing him honor and fame.
BESIDES the symphonic Poem, the "MaRic
Fire Music" from the valkyrie by Wag-
ner, and numbers by Maine composers,
will be given. For vocal numbers we
shall have a group Of songs by Frederic
Gunster, tenor; from Gluck, Richard
Strauss, Dvorak and Henry Hadley, and
another group by Reinald Werrenrath of
Italian, Indian and Irish songs. The song
called Irish Names, il unfamiliar, will
surprise the nearer with the refrain made
entirely Of Irish names which the four
first lines fully explain:
Names wild musical Tilt Of troll to thin,
Names wild a rollickinLswing and roll to
thin,
Names wild body and bones and soul to
thim,-
Sure, and they're POETRY, darlint, ashore!
Ellsworth American. [volume] (Ellsworth, Me.) 1855-current, 1909-10-06
in her repertoire, Madame Butterfly being

in her repertoire, Madame Butterfly being
great favorite among them.
Her group Of songs consists of art songs
by three great German composers, Wolf,
Loewe and Richard Strauss, and two by
Chadwick. In this group Miss Farrar will
have ample opportunity to reveal her emo
tional nature which, with her beauty Of
person, has made Ter one of the great
EFT drawing opera prima donnas Of the
world. Her last appearance will be in the
air from Mignon, I know Poor Maiden.
The chorus should win great applause in
the charming serenade, Night Divine, by
Onenbach, from the popular opera, Les
Contes D'Honman. This melody with its
fascinating harp accompaniment received
an encore ct the first concert Of the last
festival when played Is an orchestral
number.
The great choral and orchestral work Of
this concert will be the overture and first
act Of Parsifal, with the soloists Werren-
rath and Gunster. The descriptive notes
and words should be read in the program
book to understand and appreciate the
Parsifal music.
1t is q mistake to leave the purchasing
and reading Of the program book until
tina time OF the concerts. The infor-
nation gained from leisurely reading of
the words and historical notes adds much
to the appreciation of the music, and the
greater realization Of the fact that gems
from the best musicians OF all countries
have been selected for the concerts Of the
festival Of 1909.

THIRD CONCERT.

Inc opening numDer OF the tnlfo con-
cert will be the orchestral fantasia, Fran
cesca da Rimini, by Tschaikovsky. OF
this work William F. Apthorpe wrote:
.The composition is perfectly free piece
OF fantastic, picturesque writing, in no
traditional form. Its poetic keynote is
gloomy air. Of the second circle of hell
described by Dante" =
The second number introduces us to
Madame Frieda Langendorff, who will
sing the aria from LIE Prophetic, WI ich re-
quires phenomenal range of voice of con-
tralto quality with high notes like dra-
matte soprano. We have heard Schu-
mann-Heink and Homer sing this aria of
Fides gloriously, and wait with great in
terest to hear this new star who has been
SO highly praised.
Part closes with the Song of Promise
by John K. Paine, work composed for
the Cincinnati festival 1888. Mrs. Jessie
Nash-Stover will sing the only solo part
in this cantata.
Part begins with an exquisite chorus,
Ave Maria, Blessed Jesu, by Dvorak,
which will be very enjoyable mum Der;
the artistic shading and phrasing Of Mr..
Chapman's work always tells in selections
like this. The young Russian composer,
Glazounow, will be heard in the Polonaise
from his Scenes De Ballet. Nine. Langen-
dorff has a group of beautiful songs, in
Guiding the familiar Still as the Night by
Bohm, and McDowel's.gem, Thy Beaming
Eyes. The Spring Waltz Song by the
chorus closes The third concert.
THE FOURTH CONCERT.
One of the most important and enjoy
able concerts of the festival will be the
Mendelssohn Centennial .on Saturday af-
ternoon. The average person who does
not keep posted about current musical
events of the world can have no idea of
the universal homage given Mendelssohn
of his birth. All musical organizations,
public and private, have been performing
his music from The Songs Without Words
to Elijah, st. Paul, the Hymn of Praise,
overtures, symphonies, etc. Mr.. Chap
man would be the last one to omit
proper recognition Of this anniversary.
Who of us will ever forget the first Maine
festival, when the newborn chorus OF 500
lifted up their voices in our new audito-
rum in choruses from Elijah?
The first number on the centennial
program is the overture Ruy Bias, the
most dramatic OF the six celebrated

Hair Made To Curl
 Naturally

People would have laughed to scorn un- til recently the idea of converting straight hair into curls. It is a time e-honored idea that if hair is straight, straight it must remain until the end of the chapter. Not the wave or curl that lasts only during an afternoon party, but a curl that will make the possessor of long, straight, sleek hair (which is the despair of the owner) happy at the very thought.
 It is said that hair which under ordi- nary circumstances refuses to take the Marcel, under this new invention becomes quite changed-waved and glossy as the heart of the most fastidious woman could possibly desire.
 Another thing in it's favor. this new process, instead of being useless in rainy or damp weather, strengthens by reason of it and is really improved. The tiny, liquid, atmospheric particles enter the microscopic pores in the hair and cause the hair to contract and so wave and curl that when it is dry it is exactly like that of naturally curly haired people.
 The inventor asserts that curly hair is really more natural than straight hair, and that it's rarity is due to faulty treat ment in childhood. The transformation brought about by this new invention is done by changing the very nature of the outer casing of the hair.

The Colossal Dahlia

On the new spring models the chief characteristic of many is the colossal dahlla which is placed in a very chic manner on the pretty chapeau.
 These dahlias are made in the most exquisite shades and are silk as to petals and very attractive as to trimming On a moderate sized hat one dahlia forms the entire trimming and it is really stun ming.
 One in the rich shade of wine. pinned through with hatpins of wine-eolDred glass on a black chapeau was stunning.
 This new idea of the single immense flower was somewhat in vogue during the winter season, and it bids fair to be even more popular during the coming spring.

Mentioned for the Cabinet.

Chicago, February H,-Further color to the report that the portfolio of Secretary of the Treasury in Mr. Taft's cabinet has been informally rendered to Franklin MacVeagh of Chicago was given today by an assertion in business circles that Mir MaeVeagh had decided to withdraw from the wholesale grocery business and from his dictatorship in the Commercial National bank. Mir MacVeagh did not deny the report of his retirement from business. All he would say was that no formal offer of the secretaryship had been made him. A retirement from the bank ing and importing business would be nec- essary to make him eligible to office.

Headache For Years

"I keep Dr. Miles Anti-Pain Pills on hand all the time, and would not think of taking journey without them, no mat ter how short a distance l am going. l have a sister that has had terrible headaches for years, and l coaxed her to try them and they helped her so much, she now keeps them by her all the time. From my own exper- fence l cannot praise them enough"
 MRS. LOU M. CHURCHILL,
 6 High st., Penacook, N. H.
 Many persons have headache after any little excitement or ex- ertion. They cannot attend church, lectures, entertainments, or ride on trains without suffer ing. Those who suffer in this way should try pr. Miles Anti Pain Pills. They give almost instant relief without leaving any disagreeable after-effects, as they do not derange the stomach or bowels; just a pleasurable sense of relief follows their use. Get a package from your drug gist. Take it according to direc- tions, and if it does not benefit he will return your money.

 But mount it as one will in this fashion, it is not a becoming or dainty ornament. It should go with the turnover linen col lar, the tailored shirtwaist and the rough cloth suit. Worn with such costume it makes one of the best looking of all bar pins.

In the Chill of the Early Spring

There is no time of the year when the skin needs more attention than in the early spring
 Pleasure in outdoor exercise is ruined by the thought of ones ugliness and discomfort thereafter. In the dead of winter most women take care of their skin and consequently they do not suffer i'll effects from 1t. But in the early spring weather it Is so balmy and warm apparently that one neglects the neces- sary little things that count because the winter is over, they argue, and there is no need to protect the skin.
 As matter of fact, the late Feb ruary and early March winds can more thoroughly ruin the complexion than anything else in the world. There
