THE SAVRANOFFS COMING
NEXT TUESDAY EVENING
Musical Entertainment to be Given
Free to Lyceum Season Ticket
- Holders. q

The Savranoffs will appear in con-
cert at the High School Tuesday eve
ming Of next week as one number of
the lyceum course. This number was
not included in the course as made
up last year, but is substitute num-
Der for the Mt. Vernon Singing Party

tees. Of the concert given in Las
Vegas, New Mexico, the Daily Optic
says:
! without doubt the greatest mu-
steal treat of years was given to those
who attended the concert presented
by the Savranoffs at the Duncan OPP
era house last night. Masters of their
instruments is the best and only way
of speaking of these people. Their
ensemble numbers were remarkable.
Their tones, now grave, now gay,
plaintive, then playful, swelled and
lulled again, the very souls Of their
hearers. Savranoff, the violinist, q
genius beyond a doubt, brought out
tones from his instrument that fairly
touch the very depths of the people
listening to him.
Chilinski's, the cellist, tones were
deep, round and soul-stirring-mag-
nifcent. The vibrations even on the
low register, were perfect. Even the
the soloists be wonderful the concer,
could not have been so remarkable
had not the accompanist been with
the soloist in every phase, every note
played. The piano formed a founda
ton, audible, still not sounding above
the tones Of the violin and cello, upo1
which the very notes and phrases O.
the stringed instruments swayed. Mrs
Savranoff, the pianist, gave sewers
limitations Of the chimes and "fve-dol
lar-a-week movie piano players" which
were laugh getters.

Location of Balboa

T have heard many people inquiring to- day and within the past few days as to the exact location of the city or town of Balboa, mentioned frequently in the press dispatches" said E. F. Morgan yester- day. T looked ,M certain geographies and other reference works, but could not find it. However, I thought of calling The Age-Herald and received quite promptly the correct information.
 Balboa is small seaport at the en- trance to the Panama canal on the Pa cific or western side. Its name has been changed from La Boca, as it was origi- nally called, and this accounted for the fact that 1t could not be located in any books which were at all out of date. The question frequently comes up with every one. Few people knew that the name of La Boca had been changed to Balboa, and hence they could not find any trace of the seaport in the atlas or geography. Things happen so fast now that it is impossible to keep up with everything that goes on.'

 compartment Yesterday afternoon the horse of the sprinkling chariot became frisky, and the driver, instead of apply

Close to the curb on Seventh avenue stood an obscure statu- ary salesman, accompanied by chalk busts of Shakespeare, Webster. Washing ton and Beethoven. The salesman stood directly back of the thin white line of celebrities in chalk and was chanting the lay of his wares when the municipal dam broke.

"MoNA LISA,

From '"rhe Golden Age of Painting" by
 Kenyon Cox, in the May Scribner
 He was a trieless student of all kinds of natural phenomena, and of many things he had learned a great deal that has been redscovered only in our own time. Among other things, as his notebooks prove, he had studied effects of trans mitted and reflected light, understood the difference between diffused daylight and sunlight with its crip-edged shadows, saw the blue shadow which has been in troduced into modern painting by the impressionists and knew the reason of it. He attempted none. of these things in things, he says, after a long description of the effects of sunlight upon foliage of the color of the sky in the high lights, of the yellow light where the sun shines through the leaf and te interrup- tion of this light where the shadow of should not be painted because they con- fuse the form.
 The F'lorentine ideal in art was the ut most realization of form Leonardo was a true Florentine, and he introduced into painting just so much of light and shade as should assist in this realization, no more. It is his use of modelling that is his most personal contribution to art. Much rhapsodical nonsense has been written about the Mona Lisa" and her enigmatic smile. and there have been endless speculations as to her character and the meaning of her expression. It is all beside the mark. The truth is that the Mona Lisa" Is study of modelling. little more. Leonardo had discovered that the expression of smiling is much more a matter of the modelling of the cheek and of the forms below the eye than of the change in the line of the lips. It interested him, with his new power of modelling, to produce a smile wholly by these delicate changes of surface; hence, the mysterious expression. Poets may find 'la Gioconda" vampire or
 what-not--to artists with a sense of form

 most exquisite pieces of modelling in ex- l istence.

LUXE M,LuKE SAYS

You may have noticed that a success full man never gives his friends the same brand of advice he uses in his own busi- ness.
 A fool married man often imagines that his wife believes his excuses when she merely endures them to keep peace in the family.
 The reason fate doesn't let us profit by our mistakes is because if we did we would keep on making more.
 When a man is standing around wait ing to be driven to drink, it is easy for him to mistake any old noise for the crack of a whip
 Artists claim that the perfect feminine foot is the No. 6. Then there are plenty of girls with perfect feet, but the per- feet feet are concealed in No. 3 shoes. "a A man will make more fuss over his pipe clogging up than his wife will over the house burning down.
 Maybe a man would have better luck if he didn't waste most of his time trying to prove that luck is against him.
 When a man can't quit a habit he dis covers that the habit doesn't hurt him.
 When the children are young and active a woman doesn't have to buy antique fur niture. The furniture in the house al- ways looks sufficiently antique.
 There Is g. period in the life of right handed girl when she becomes left handed. It is when she gets her engage ment ring.
 Detectives in real life are often baf- fled. But nothing like that ever hap pens to the sleuths in the novels and movie fillums.
 After looking over some of the things girls marry why do other girls think il is so dreadful to be an old maid? The reason a woman is always want ing her husband to tell her how beau- tiful she is is because she has a half dozen mirrors in the house

PROFIT IN GROWING HERBS

Particularly pleasant to grow are herbs" says Grace Tabor in the Wom- ans Home Companion, and by little study of their very special market, they may easily be turned into pin money. Every butcher who makes his own sau- sage is potential customer, and the large packing houses of course, use large quantities. Chemists, perfumers and pickle factories also require them. So- licit trade, if this line is what you think you would like, offering sample of your wares, just as any manufacturer shows samples of his.'

ALL ABOUT A ~sHRIMP,

From the Louisville Courier-Journal.
 A poor, empty-handed shrimp of a mill lionairess-as ugly as a mud fence-was for the third or fourth time arrested the other day for speeding in the streets of New York. The magistrate fined her $50, which she paid with cheerful alacrity, proud to make prompt and flashy display of her wealth. This is a characteristic of, that kind of cattle. The girl said. however, that she wanted to go to jail. which is another characteristic-the noto- riety' hunting, excitement-seeking, char acteristic-of the idle and brainless rich. Too bad! Too badl Why don't her mother spank herr
