RULES ON SATURDAY
HALF-HOLIDAY ISSUE
Auditor for Treasury Settles Vexed
Question Of Claim for Pay.
PLACED ON STATUS OF LEAVE.
Employees Cannot Count Same As Four
Hours Service a, d Secure Exten-
sioa Of Time OFF With Pay.

Saturday half-hohdays for govern
! ment employees are not matters of
right and employees of the govern
ment can establish no claim for pay
for work done on such half-holidays,

the auditor for the Treasury Depart
ment, Washington.
Further. according TO the same ruling,
such employees cannot establish claim
for deductions from their salaries,

same status as the thirty days annual
leave of government employees, which
has long been recognized as a matter
of discretion on the part of heads of
departments, chiefs of bureaus, tc.,
and contingent on the exigencies OF
the public service.
The latter principal has been thor
oughly established by rulings of the
Attorney General and the Comptroller
of the Treasury, though no such rul-
ing has ever been made before in re-
gard TO the Saturday half-holidays.
In IA precedent establishing ruling,
which is concuTred I'm by w. w. War
wick, Controller of the Treasury, IL is
held that unauthorized absence OF an
mplOyee on a Saturday hnlf-holiday is
properly construed as loss of time.
that such employee absent without
authorization, may suffer "A deduction
from his salary because of the absence.

given Aace Schivers, a notorious coll

MUSIC AND ART
IN SONG AND DANCE
Program Of Second Night at St.
Anne's Bazaar a Success.
GRACE AND MUSIC.
Aesthetic Interpretation Of Musical
Compositions by Posture and
Movement.

Artistic dancing, graceful posture
and movement interpreting music by
the best composers. and songs by a
cultivated vocalist comprised the
entertainment last evening at the
bazaar in Baden Street Armory.
The entire program was most artis-
tic in character and detail. it was
shared by Miss Priscilla Heffen-
ger, Of Portsmouth, N. H.. who
studied classic dancing abroad under
the best masters Of the art, and by
Miss Jane Hamilton Miller who is
vocalist Of culture and ability and is
preparing for grand opera.
All of Miss Heifenger's dancss
were original except the Hungarian
Gypsy dance. This was done to the
beautiful music Of Humoreske. In the
costume Of a Hungarian Gypsy, Miss
Hefenger danced this gracefully on
the stage arranged as WOO land
scene. She at once danced her way
into the hearts of her audience but
her best was reserved for last.
The dance Of the Dryad was the
embodiment Of grace and Miss Heifen-
gers art was recognized in every pos
ture and movement. She was the maid
Of the forest who loved tree and
shrub. and who danced hither and thith-
er tossing flowers about and throwing
the sparkling drops of water from her
finger tips into the air as she danced
around the spray. As the flowers wilted
and died so the dancer dropped and
died at it's close.
In the Lotus Dance Miss Heffenger
was even more graceful, il possible,
as she inclined and bent in her move
ments and posture with the lotus bios
som. She seemed the real woodland
nymph Of the dryads in their dance on
the grassy sward among garlands of
flowers and woodland blossoms.
The last dance was in the abandon
of Bacchante, with all the joyousness,
grace and charm of which the shsrac-
ter is capable. Miss HefTenger re-
ceived an ovation and was encored
again and again. She is skilled inner
art 60 which she lends a personal
charm and grace
The vocalist, Miss Miller. not only
has a highly cultivated voice. which
she controls at will, but to her charm
Of voice is added her individual charm.
Her Jewel Song from Faust was a
real gem. and Down in the Forest"
was exquisitely sung. Her notes are
clear and sweet, and she sings with
striking effect. Miss Miller'5 artistic
rendition of her vocal selections was
appreciated by her cultured audience.
She received a number of encores,
and both she and Miss HefFenger were
presented baskets Of flowers.
Such an artistic program has rarely
been presented here previously.
