A concert was given Thursday night
at the Central Congregational chufch'
that was an interesting affair II was
arranged for in short time ana was
az
was not large, but it was enthusiastic.
Thurlow Lieurance, a Kansas man,
was in Topeka with his band OF SIX
teen pieces, and the company 1ur-
nished the program at the concert
Mr.. Lieurance organizes companies
for the Redpath Bureau, and the
band is one of the companies that ne
has brought together. The music they
furnished last night was unlike the
ordinary band concert, inasmuch as
the numbers were rendered more after
the manner of orchestra than band
performances. The unity, rhythm and
precision of the rendering of the en-
semble numbers was Str1k1ngly good
Some of the soloists also did accepta-
BILE work. The violinist and harplst
were especially pleasing.
The numbers on the first part of the
program were among the accepted
classics, and for the latter part of the
evening Mr.. Lieurance told or some
of the native Indian music, and gave
of it. He has been en-
ployed by the Smithsonian Institute
for the past ten years to collect Indian
melodies from the Indians themselves,
harmonize them, and make records
of them. When he visits the tribes
he carries with him a record machine,
and he reduces the melodies to writ
ing, and arranges and harmon1zes
them. One of the numbers of his col
lection has lately been made into
graphaphoe record by Alice Nielsen.
Among the numbers that he gave last
night was cha ming Indian love song,
and following the Indian custom, the
song was preceded by flute solo. This
the conductor explained, is to draw
the attention of the maiden to be
wooed, to the fact that the lover is
to sing a love song. Mr.. LieuranCe
sang the song for the audi
ence, following the flute solo.
Before the concert Mr.. Lieurance
and his violin so1oist, Mr.. Brown, were
at dinner by Mr.. and Mrs.
Ralph Cav.
The question as to whether a mar
ried man should wear a wedding ring,
is one that is discussed a good deal
women, especially the more adj
vanced women with opinions on the
of the sexes. A Kansas City
paper recently undertook to find out
the ideas on the subject of some min
interested married man. The reporter
asked the married man for an answer
to his question Should married man
wear a wedding ring?"
Easy said the married man, ct
think he should-just be a good sport.
he Owed into his trouser
pocket. Here's mine" And the mar
ried man brought out a plain gold
band.
But you don't wear it," said the re-
porter. You hide it in your pocket"
"Oh, I wear it when it's necessary"
said the married man. when I'm
with my wife. 1t serves as a pro-
lection for me then. Shows me up to
be her husband and keeps other men
from disturbing her. And 1 wear it
see, it isn't rivited on and can remove
it when l want to. YeS"every man
should have wedding ring; they're
great stuff. 1 wouldn't part with mine
for anything"
And the married man slipped the
ring back into his pocket and went on
his ambiguous way.
Bishop Samuel Fallows, when ask
ed the question, said: Il don't think it
at all necessary. Among the couples
will ask for double ring ceremony,
but it is very seldom. 1t is all a mat
ter of individual taste. 1 prefer the old
ceremony and believe the place for the i
marriage ring is on the IOurth 1lnger
of a woman's left hand
The jewelry store managers say that
they keep the rings for men but that
few of them are sold.
