possibly squeeze her in. And can
you arrange for them to carry full
blown roses and little black kitten

friends here, and he made more. The
first thing l heard when l got here
was that he was very popular here,
and he was even more so when he
left this second time. He was very
fine. Then came to Ernest Gamble
concert party; three artists, as every
one knows. Their work is beautiful,
and so are they. At least the women
are, and Gamble will do for a man.
Mrs. Pickett's theme is so encrusted
with sentiment that she would not
have to do Welt But her stlgS
preachee is so handsome; her diction
and delivery so perfect; and her voice
so clear that they unite to make her
superb. l, for one, was so facinated
with her looks and manner that I al
most lost what she said, and am very

lectured in wind and rain, but he held
his audience absolutely. He is indi-
vldual in the extreme and it is an in
dividuality worth while. Many said
he was the best of all-but many said
that of every one of the attractions.
We waited until the Oxfords came, as
the Avons bade; and the waiting was
rewarded. With their groups of quar-

and parasols, flowers, screens-every-
thing. First Harrison Burch gave
several piano solos. His work is bril-
liant. In the afternoon he completely
subordinated himself as an accom-
pianist; as soloist he asserted himself
with great power, thus doubly show
ing what an artist he is. His touch
is sympathetic but fine, and he is in
comparable in the perfection of his
technique. But he never lets tech
nique get away with him; he sacri-
feed it to feeling always. He is an
artist in every way. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ogden, Miss Cogburn and Mr.. Leither
in the "Mikado" blended their voices
beautifully, and were also most effect

,goices to begin with, and having had
'splehud training, the result was to be
foreseen. Their acting was a artist
ic as their singing; their costumes
handsome; and thanks to them the
Chautauqua closed in a blaze of glory,
and the applause made the welkin
ring. The audience was transported,
and gave them an ovation at the end.
Many said you had saved the best for
the last, but some added it would have
been the same the other way round.

A young lady walked into President
Wilson's office and asked him to kiss
her. She seemed delighted and said
she would carry the kiss to her home
in California. She was years old.
So long as the president confines his
kisses to young ladies of that age he
may expect peace at home. If he
should try his hand, or rather his
lips, on handsome young women three
times that age, he might have to sub
NIT to meditation.
