10 winning admirers whenever she ap.

noon was the singing of Miss Jones
a diminutiye Welsh GIRL. with a
beautiful mezzo-contralto voice Her
efforts proved TO be so far removed
from student standards as to as
snme professional aspects, and she
was most enthusiastically received
Her voice is resonant to degree
and Of that luscious quality so char.
acteristic of her people. Moreover
diction, that bete-noir of most vocal
lists, presents no difficulties for Miss
Jones, inasmuch as every word is
easily understandable, no matter
what the language employed. In
fact, SO well rounded was her work
that we have no hesitancy in pre-.
dieting for her brilliant future, a
fact which reflects great credit upon
her teacher, Walter Allen Suits, he
having been her only instructor"
Putting on Holiday Garb. IL
just within the past three or four
days have the store windows begun
to take on the Christmas air. But af-
ter the first displays were made to
everyone else Immediately began to
display goods suggestive of the hol.
iday season. WEa
The windows keep one reminded of
the fact that they have Christmas
gifts to buy and plan for and will
help to keep the Christmas shopping
from being crowded into the last few
days. IT people only would realize
that the selection is so much better
early and that prices even are liable
to increase as the day for giving
Christmas presents approaches, they
would not delay making their pur.
chases.
What has been said about the
"Spug Squad" should be applied in
Mankato as in larger cities. The
"Spug Squad" believes in giving u6e-
full gifts and appropriate gifts. BY
taking time to choose gifts early
no one else is so likely to give some
thing inappropriate for lack of
thought -.-
Make out your Christmas list with
the particular taste Of each person
to whom you give in mind, and you
will realize how much easier the
Christmas shopping will be.
