PRESIDENT and PARTY
attend BALLET Russo
Tragic Fable. "Scheherazade." Domi-
nant Number of Performance.

Tho final appearance of the Ballet
Russo at the Belasco unofficially assum-
ed an aspect OF society night, the streets
adjacent to the theater being dotted with
countless high-powered automobiles OF
superior design and quality.
A considerable tinge of Americanism
was injected into the Russian atmosphere
of the performance last night when a
few minutes previous to the first ballet
President Wilson and party entered one
of the boxes in the mezZanine tier Ac-
companying the President were Mrs. Will
son. Mr.. and Mrs. Alexander Gait, and
Mr.. and Mrs. w. Boiling.
At the Presidents entrance the entire
orchestra stood while playing the Star
Spangled Banner the audience stand
ing also until the anthem was finished.
The tragic Persian fable, "Schehera-
zade," was the dominant number of the
farewell performance of the DiaGhileff
organization, honors going to Mile. Flore
Ravelles and NJ. Adolph Bolm, Jointly
The setting for this ballet was of such
riotous color combination that the multi
colored costumes, against vivid and
subdued green background. flooded with
amber light was as dazzling as was the
dancing abandon which permeated the
story.
The opening number last night, Les
Papillons." a dainty, quaint little ballet
In one act, AFFORDED Lydia Lopokova her
best opportunity of the evening, the
youthful spirit of the story being in
complete accord with the dainty Lydia s
personality. Mr.. Adolph Bolm and Mile
Lydia Nsokolova, as Pierrot and a young
girl. respectively. aided materially in
making this number one of the
pleasantest of the engagement.
Probably because of the distinguished
audience, 1t was announced that Nijinsky
would dance in an extra number, and
La Princesse Enchantee," one of the
numbers of the opening performance,
was given by the premiere danseur and
Nine Olga SpesiwtZewa.
The closing number presented Nijinsky
and Lydia Lopokova in LIE Spectre De
La Rose" a tableau from a poem by NJ.
TIL. Gautier. The Bakst scenery and
costumes of this number were of the
most striking of the evening, Nijinsky' s
dull rose colored costume being a marvel
OF design.
One of the greatest features of the
Ballet Russo Is the wonderful orchestra,
its Entr'acte Symphonique Capricio
Espagno last night gaining as much ap-
plause as did the ballets.

SELECT TREES WITH CARE
the One Who Is Planning a
Real Home.

Now that the process of tree NOV
ing is so successful, it is a simple
matter to annex and preserve as ones
own specimens of the numerous beau
tiful trees which the countryside
dweller is apt to run across in his
woodland rambles.
Do not make the mistake, however,
of thinking that any kind of tree
can be planted in any place; selec-
tions need to be made with intelli-
gence and due regard to drainage and
SOIL
The over-changing beauty Of the
mountain maple makes it an unusu-
ally satisfactory tree for ornamental
planting. The branches in winter are
beautiful in coloring, as in spring are
the buds and blossoms, followed in
summer by the developing fruits.
The wild plum tree, too. has posi-
bilities which too many people fall to
recognize. The blossoms of this tree
are the nearest we get to the cherry
blossom display Of the Japanese, and
although their beauty endures for only
q brief season, the trees are especially
desirable when planted along rocker
les or along walls.

nTOWNVt
IS HELPS
GOOD APARTMENTS, LOW RENT
Experiment Undertaken at Des
Moines, la, Asserted to Be a
Complete Success.

A practical demonstration to prove
that individual apartments with mod
ern plumbing. sanitary conveniences,
and absolute privacy for each family,
can be built to rent for from S. to
$3.50 per month and yet yield rea-
sonable profit to the builder, was made
a short time ago at Des Moines, Ia.
The Octavia Hill association, which
has already won renown in solving
housing problems, has worked out the
plan to the smallest detail and is
building the model houses. Forty-five
families were provided for in the first
block now under construction.
The houses, which are of red brick,
are simply finished with sufficient
trimming to keep them from being Sc
of the property IS the provision for
the children. About 5000 square feet
of ground in the center of the block
will be used for a playground. The
rent collectors are trained society
workers and will volunteer to start
the playground activities.
The investment will reach nearly
100000, which is represented by cap,
ital stock and a mortgage which pays
"A per cent year. The investment
will yield a gross income Of 1913 per
cent per year, after deducting taxes
insurance, water rents, cost of collec-
ton of rents, social work, deprecia
ton, etc, of 81 per cent.
The Des Moines venture is test
case to prove that the unsanitary and
bad housing conditions which prevail
for the low-salaried workingmen are
criminally unnecessary. 1t is vote,
ing an unanswerable protest against
the crowded tenement, the dilapidated
and unsanitary house which is virtu'
ally the only kind offered to the man
who must pay less than SIS month
rental.
The association now owns or man
ages 1853 dwellings, housing $500 peo'
pie, and has never failed to pay four
per cent a year to it's stockholders.

inches square, and nail to the under
side of the plank seat, and d to the
top of the bow sled; then bore five
eighths-inch hole through the center of

a washer between the bolt head and the
seat plank, another between blocks C
and D, and a third between the sled
top and the bolt nut.
Cut block E Gig. 81 out of piece
of two-by-four, bevel its top edge as
shown in Fig. Z, and fasten the pair

Then fasten the other half of the
hinges to the plank seat, using bolts
for the center holes, and screws
for the outer holes, and spike the
block to the sled top. The hinge ar
rangement is necessary so the stern
sled will rise and fall as it runs over

The Let's and Lithuanians are two
kindred peoples of Indo- European orr

provinces of Russia and the northeast
ern parts Of Poland and Prussia. The
Let's are chiefly concentrated in
Vitebsk, Courland and Livonia. The
two races number about 100000, of
whom 100000 are Let's. Little Is
known about their origin, and nothing
about the time of their appearance in
the land they now inhabit. Living in
forested, marshy country, they have
been able to maintain their national
character. Their ancient priests al.
ways worshiped In the forests, and
even now the generation of great oaks
is widely-spread custom in the vii
lagos. The Lithuanian, Lettic or Let.
fish, and Borussian languages together
constitutes a distinct linguistic group,

dialects), low spoken in northwest
