You see a hack and you say How
out of date they now seem beside the
up -to-date automobile. In a few
years the automobile will seem as
much out of date as does the hack

Kaiser Shines as operatic man

Certainly, why not? He has been
conducting comic opera ever since

has plenty of experience in the show

the snow flies" three years ago.
Tickets ria this rOnte are not on
sale, Notwithstanding their predic-

turn black when they become wet.
This reminds me of some people l
know-they claim to be your friends
smiling and seemingly; always glad
