Mission Study and Reading Course Work

Miss Mabel Head, our Educa-
tionai Secretary, is very anxious
to have good report of the mis-
sion study work from our Confer
ence. We ought to be more anxious
that she should. To accomplish
this let us all unite our efforts.
If you have a mission study class
or reading circle in your Auxili-
airy will you kindly notify the
Press superintendent? Miss Heads
last record shows from the enroll
ment cards sent in that there are
SO adult mission study classes in
our Conference. There must be
others. If you have had during
the year, at any time, a mission
study class or reading circle,
please report it, giving the mum
ber of women enrolled in the same
and books used. This will be
greatly appreciated. The mission
study work is very interesting.

THE QUESTION OF LIGHTS.

AS was stated several days ago, the
matter of having street lights now rests
with the council alone. Several mem
bers of the council. however, have in
timated that they would be glad to
have the citizens of the town express
themselves on the subject with refer
ence TO the size of the light to be
used. There is a sample of the light
now hung in front OF the marshars Of
flee. This size light will be supplied at
the rate of $1-25 per month or larger
light at proportionately higher rate.
BY all means now let's get together on
the size of light to be used and have
them in working order as soon as pos.
sible. Tempe has been in darkness long
enough, and now that the opportunity
is offered why Jose time in taking d.
vantage OF it?

PAsMoRE TRIO TONIGHT.

Thirty-four concerts i'm Berlin alone
is the musical record of the noted
Pasmore trio in Germany's capital
| city. This is an achievement never
before accomplished by an American
trio and the Berlin critics took am
pie note of the fact. They paid the
organization many SPLENDID tributes,
among which is the following, writ
ten by Herr Paul Becker one of Eu-
ropes foremost musical authorities:
They developed such beautiful fin
ish and so much musical feeling and
the violoncellist sang so beautifully
upon her instrument that the hearers
would gladly have applauded repe-
tition. II is to be hoped that the
Pasmores will become our Playmores.
las especially delightful features
one noticed the clean. polished execu-
ton of the pianist, the extraordinarily
beautiful tone of the violinist and
the intelligent and uncommonly care
full blending of the ensemble playing.
The three ladies played with so much
natural, spontaneous liveliness, under
standing and fully developed capacity,
that it was an unexpected pleasure
to be able to hear them"
The American critics are adding
their endorsement to that of the Ger /!
man writers. Already, on this their |
first American tour, the Pasmbres |
have visited many of the principal !
cities of the United States and Can
ada. Before the close of the present |
season they will have visited all of
them, including the City of Mexico.

THE PAsMORE TRIO
ON TOMORROW NIGHT
The Appearance of These Noted Musi
clans at the Normal Auditorium.

The German critics have long recog-
nized the artistry of the PasmoIe trio,
that splendid organization of Ameri-
can musicians which is to appear in
concert at the normal auditorium to-
morrow evening as an event of the lee
-ture series. The season tickets will be
good at this event, while single admis
sion tickets will be charged for at the
rate of IS cents each.
When the trio gave its memorable
series of concerts in Berlin, the Ger
man critics were high in their praise.
The following, taken from the Con-
tinental Times. is a sample of the many
tributes paid these artists:
Mary, Suzanne and Dorothy Pas
more are able TO add another success
TO their already lengthy musical score.
At a recent Sunday afternoon musicale
and reception given them at the home
of the noted pianist, Xaver Scharwenka,
this trio was invited to play the Fan
TASTE Stucke of Schumann. This they
did, as usual, from memory and gave

must successful performance of most
difficult work. A well known German
critic who heard them play, was en-
thusiastic in his praise of their work,
i'm which he found something decidedly
and distinctively characteristic, and
said ne considered them to be among
the finest artists on the concert plat
form"
The Pasmores gave no less than thir-
ty-fOur recitals in Berlin alone, an
achievement never before accomplished
by any American trio. Their work won
constant recognition and resulted in
scores of splendid criticisms. The
triumphs attained in Europe are now
being repeated in America. The Pas
mores are under the direction of Fitz-
patrick < Norwood, managers of such
famous artists as lilly Koenen, Harold
and other equally noted celebrities. In
tense interest is being shown in the
coming of the Pasmores TO this city and
an immense audience is assured.

OF the Great Gobs, who is to offer her
as a sacrifice To the Eye. which is al
most closed He is about to triumph
Notwithstanding the efforts of her
friends to release her, when the Cat

CLEANING TORTOISE SHELL.

With the revival of big tortoise shell
combs and pins many women bring
out old pieces good in line, but dull
and clouded. If bad. these should be
sent to a jeweler or manufacturer of
shell goods for repolishing.
To brighten at home, rub with sweet
oil. wipe dry, cover with whiting or a
good silver powder and polish with a
chamois.
TO keep shell in good condition wash
1t frequently with tcpid water, then
polish with a little olive oil on a piece
Of flannel or chamos
AS shell is brittle it should be care
fully handled, especially not subjected
To sudden changes of temperature.
When not sure if your shell is real do
not put too near a flame, as it may be
celluloid and explode.
