NEW YORK SYMPHONY
AND MISS JAMESON.
Audience Warmly Enthusiastic in
Praise of Concert Numbers at Stat
err Hall,

Slater hall was again filled to its
utmost capacity on Monday evening,
people from surrounding towns help
ing to swell the large company of
Norwich citizens gathered in antici-
patton of the concert given by the
New York Symphony orchestra Most
of them had delightful recollections
of the former concert by the orchestra
under Walter Damrosch's conductor
ship, a few seasons past and were ap-
preciative Of another opportunity for
a rare musical treat. This return en-
gagement was, if anything, even more
brilliant than the first, for besides the
enthusiasm created by Mr.. Danrosch's
splendid leadership Of his fifty or
chestral pieces there was the added
charm Of Miss Margaret Janieson's
part as soloist.
Miss Jameson, who is a niece of
Mr.. and Mrs. Archibald Mitchell and
thus known to many Norwich friends
who were glad to give her public
greeting, not only added to her must
cal reputation among these, but won
for herself new admirers among all
those who heard her for the first time.
She certainly is a talented young
lady and her fine technique and
beautiful singing tones, as well as her
pleasing personality, were noted with
enthusiasm.
The first part Of the program was
given entirely by the orchestra, Web
er's Oberon Overture taking the au-
dience to fairy land for the sylvan
revels by a master hand. Four move
ments Of Hadyn's Symphony in G
"Militaire" followed, giving the only
military touch Of the evening and the
style so characteristic of this COM
poser, especially in the two last move
ments. The prelude to 'tLohengrin by
Wagner was a fine piece of execution
Of this beautiful composition.
Miss Jameson appeared as piano
soloist in the Concerto in G minor by
Saint-Lacens for piano and orchestra
and her brilliant work throughout the
three parts of this long compost
ton was generously applauded.
A huge bouquet Of pink roses greet
ed her at one Of her encore appear
ances.
The other beautiful selection by the
orchestra were Mendelssohn's Alequet-
to from string, quartette and Beet
hoven's Polnaise and the orchestra ap-
propriately expressed the mood of
every one present i'll the closing num-
bers-the joyous Scheszo, OPP, As by
Goldmark.

HAVE DARK HAIR
AND LOOK YOUNG
Don't stay srayI Nobody can tell
when you darken gray, faded hair
with Sage Tea and Sulphur.

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully daFkened, glossy and abundant
with a brew Of Sage Tea and Sulphur
Whenever her hair fell out or took
on that dull. faded or streaked appear
ance, this simple mixture was applied
with wonderful effect. By asking at
any drug store for "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" you will get a
large bottle Of this old-time recipe
ready to use, for about 80 cents. This
simple mixture can be depended upon
to restore natural color and beauty to
the hair and is splendid for dandruff
dry, itchy scalp and falling hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur. because it darkens so natur-
ally and evenly that nobody can tell
it has been apphed--it's SO easy to
use, too. You simply dampen a comb
or soft brush and draw 1t through
your hair, taking one strand at time.
By morning the gray hair disappears;
after another application or two, it is
restored to its natural color and looks
glossy, soft and abundant.
