FOUR CONCERTS
THIS SEASON
Prominent SOlOiStS to Appear
in Philadelphia orchestra
Series

The Wilmington women who have
arranged for the appearance Of The
Philadelphia Orchestra in Whining
ton for the past eight years are now
at work over the preliminaries con-
nected with the eighth season of the
Orchestra. which will be made up OF
series Of four concerts on the even
ings OF November 6, December 4, Jan
uary s, and February 5, at the Opera
House. Mr.. Pohlig, leader Of The Phil
adelphia Orchestra, who enters upon
his fifth year with the Orchestra in
Philadelphia, has returned somewhat
earlier this year than before in order
TO map out his work for the year, and
among other programs none are given
more attention than those Of his Will
mington series.
The four concerts this year will be
made distinguished by the appearance
of well known soloists, and in addi-
tion to Thaddeus Rich. the concert
meister Of the Orchestra, who has
been spending the summer in Europe.
as has Herman Sandby, the celebrated
first 'cellist who will also be heard,
the two novelties in the way OF SOLO
lists will be a young Italian pianist, a
pupil OF the famous Joseffy. whose
appearances in New York last spring
aroused the greatest enthusiasm: his
name is Pasquale Tallarico, and his
master predicts a great future for him
He, fortunately, was heard by some Of
the musically cultured Wilmington
ians I'm New York. and he already has
a local following who are very desir-
Gus OF hearing him. The fourth soloist
Is Miss Marie Stone Langston, the
well-known contralto. of Philadelphia.
Miss Langston has acquired a special
reputation In the musical world since
she figured very conspicuously at the
National Federation of Musical Clubs
held at Philadelphia last year. when
she was selected above a great many
other contralto singers to interpret
the $1,000 prize aria Of Horatio w Par
ker. who has just won the $4,000
prize for his opera, which will be pro-
duced in New York this coming fall.
The Parker aria was an. exceedingly
difficult one, with so extraordinary a
range that a number Of capable sing
ers who tried TO interpret IL under
Parker's direction we're unable TO
meet his wishes. Miss Langston not
only showed her capabilities In the
way of vocal range, but In beauty Of
voice and in sympathy made her rem
dering of this work a great artistic
treat She will be heard with The
Philadelphia Orchestra in an operate
aria which will give her full oppor-
tunity to display her talent. In addi-
ton to the soloist outlook the pro
grams will be made very varied and
attractive, and a Wagner night Is one
of the features In contemplation.
The announcement of the commit
tee will be sent out on October 18th,
and the committee Is made mp as fol-
lows: Mrs. Joseph Swift, president;

USED SAGE TEA
To Darken the Hair and Restore
Gray and Faded Hair to Its
Natural Color.

1t is easier to preserve the color
OF the hair than to restore it, al
though it is possible to do both. Our
grandmothers understood the secret.
They made sage tea" and their
dark, glossy hair long after middle
life was due to this fact Our moth
ers have gray hairs before they are
fifty, but they are beginning to ap-
preciate the wisdom of our grand
mothers in using sage tea"
The present generation has the
advantage of the past in that it can
get a ready-to-use preparation cali
ed Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair
Remedy AS a scalp tonic and color
restorer this preparation is vastly
superior to the ordinary sage tea"
made by our grandmothers.
This remedy is sold under guar
antee that the money will be refund
ed if it fails to do exactly as repre-
sented.
If your hair is losing color or COM
ing out, start using Wyeth's Sage

change it will make in few days

This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents bottle, and is

THE FOOLS PRAYER
By Edmund Roland Sill

The feast was done; the King
Sought some new sport to banlsh care,
And to his Jester cried: Sir Fool
Kneel down, and make for us prayer!
The Jester DOTTED his cap and bells,
And stood the hooking court before
They could not see the bitter smile
Behind the painted grin he wore
He bowed his head, and bent his knee
Upon the monarchs silken stool;
His pleading voice arose: y Lord,
Be merciful to me, TOOL
mo pity. Lord, could change the heart
From red with wrong to white as WOOL
The rod must heal the SIM but, Lord,
Be mercifu to me, fool
d" IT'S not by guilt the onward sweep
Of truth and right, q Lord we stay;
It's by our follies that so long
We hold the earth from heaven away.
These clumsy feet still in the mire,
Go crushing blossoms without end;
These hard, well-meanlng hands we thrust
Among the heart-strngs OF TREND
The ill-tmed truth we might have kept
Who,knows how sharp it pierced and stung!
The word we had not sense to say
Who knows how grandly 1t had rung!
Our faults no tenderness should ask,
The Christening stripes must cleanse them all:
But for our blunderS-Oh IN shame
Before the eyes of heaven we TALL
Earth bears no balsam for mistakes;
Men crown the knave, and scourge the tool
That did his will; but Thou, . LORD,
Be merciful to me, fool
The room was hushed in silence rose
The King and sought his gardens cool,
And walked apart, and murmured low,
Be merciful to me, fool.
