 Offers one of the best popular musi- cal programs of the season. This or ganization of talented artists appear in full Russian military costume, their bright scarlet jackets presenting a cheerful and imposing contrast. The programs are 8 combination of life and enthusiasm and cover wide range of music from the wild, fantastic Russian dances, through the most exquisite, inspiring and difficult arias of the old masters, to that music termed "popu- lar, but not trashy" A prominent and pleasing feature, and one that never fails to evoke the greatest enthu- siasm, is sterling rendition of the beautiful Russian folk songs, accom- panied by haunting Russian balalikas. For intensive melodies nothing sur passes these old songs. Each member of the quartette is an accomplished so- 1 loist.

Much humor, and a bit of pathos-characte pictures-all illus trated with music, form an unusual whole A prologue is given, then the draperies are drawn aside, disclosing a bright Venetian scene. Pretty flower and statuary selling maidens; street musicians in gay costume are intro duced. Now they sing the haunting melodies accompanied by cello, guitar and concerlina. The story progresses The street musicians came to America, introducing gay, light heartld music and humorous and human anecdotes ! then they were educated at the music settlement school in New York, where Wwindow in the house of life" was ] opened to music hungry hearts, and they became trained artists; and the i program ends with a brilliant concert effect.

Only a Few Straws in Evidence Saturday

The fifteenth of lSeptember has be- come generally observed as the curfew day,for straw kelleys and the man who has the temerity ito appear with a straw lid on his bean thereafter is marked for joke and ridicule.
 Putnam matters did big business last Friday if the new felt lids that so generally made their appearance Sat urday were home products and we hope they were. One or two citizens stated Saturday that they would wear their old straws until snow flies fl they chose but on second thought they changed their minds and put few ironmen in some matters till in ex- change for a new style of head gear.
