ORCHESTRA GIVES
RECITAL PROGRAM
OF POPULAR MUSIC

The Tri-City Symphony orches-
ira. so strong, and directed by Lud-
wig Becker, presented the annual
program of popular music yester-
day afternoon at Augustana gym
nasium. The concert merited a
much larger audience than was
present, but what was lacking in
numbers was made up for in en-
thusiasm and the orchestra anu
the leader must have felt the real
pleasure of their hearers. The
numbers on the program were Sc
lected from works given throughout
the winter season, making an after
Moons entertainment that was most
enjoyable, despite the fact that the
day was excessively close and
warm.
The program opened with the
popular overture, Merry Wives of
Windsor" (Nicolai) and closed with
the well known Sousa march.
STARS and Stripes Forever" ar
which time Director Becker yielded
the baton to Albert L. Petersen, di-
rector of the Petersen orchestra of
Davenport. and who is a member
of the orchestra, and he led the
players through the composition SO
splendidly that the audience re-
fused to bulge from their seats I'M
til at least a portion of the work
was repeated.
was repeated Mr.. Becker also
yielded a point in his established
custom in not giving encores and
repeated part of the lovely Dream
of Love- by List, which was play
ed with great delicacy and beauty.
The Tschaikowsky symphony No.
5. Op. ga, the andante cantabile,
con alcuna licenza movement being
given in the same splendid manner
that 1t was played at the last regu-
lar program of the orchestra, the
first part of this month. There fol-
lowed in succession Polonaise No.
2. List; Dream Of Love-" List;
Dance of the Fairies" Hellmes-
berger; Grand American Fantasia
Of national airs and La Marseil-
laise, French national hymn, ar
ranged by Victor Herbert; Scenes
De Ballet, OPP. 50, No. s, Glasou-
now, composed of Waltz, Marion
nettes, Danse Oriental and Polon-
aise and the concluding Sousa
march.
All these works have been re-
viewed on previous occasions, suf-
flee II to say now that they were
given the same careful reading that
has characterized former persenta-
tons of the numbers, and the pro-
gram as a whole was one Of the
most ENJOYABLE of the season

has done and said things about me
to try to make my other friend turn
against me.
The last night he came to see me
he was very nice and brought box
of candy. When he was leaving he
asked me TO kiss him, but l would
not. l will not kiss any boy until
l am engaged. / sometimes think
this is the reason he got mad at me.
% Do you think l did wrong by
going with my chum and the SOL
diers?
(2) Do you think it would be
right TO write this boy note and
ask him why he is treating me so?
WORRIED.
% Yes, you did a wrong thing
by going with your chum and the
soldiers since your parents object
to your going with them and you
have an idea that soldiers are I'M
desirable. Personally l cannot see
that soldiers have not as high NOR
ais as any one else, and l would
not hesitate for a moment to let
a daughter of mine associate with
soldiers.
(2) Do not write him note.
Probably he thinks you were posing
when you said you would not go
with soldiers 1t looks little that
way because when you had a
chance to go with them you did
If the boy values your friendship
he will come back even if you do
not write to him.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am II
years old and l have been CORE
spending with a soldier I have
never met. A boy friend of mine
asked me to correspond with him
because he didn't have any girl
friend. This boy is coming here
with my boy friend on furlough and
he has asked to come to see me.
Would it be all right to let him
come some night if my boy friend
does not come? He says he would
like d come alone. BETTY.
You are rather young to receive
boy callers, but if your mother ap-
proves it will be all right.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am %
years old and l have gone with a
great many young men since / was
is and a few before then. All of
my boy friends have gone to war
and have been going out only
with girls for some time. A few
DAYS ago a bachelor friend of my
fathers called at our home and he
seemed to like me very much. He
is IS or 40 years old He invited
me to go riding with him and l ac-
cepted. Our engagement is for to-
morrow night My father likes the
man, but mother thinks he is too
old for me and says a man of that
age is always serious. l know 1
will not fall in love with him be-
cause l already love a younger man.
Do you think I have any right to
go with this older man when l have
no intention of marrying him?
am not engaged. ETHEL.
l think it is all right to go with
him since your father approves. A
girl of % ought to be pretty level
headed and able to steer clear Of
danger.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have two
boy friends of whom l once thought
a great deal, and I still like one of
them very much. The other I have
almost learned to hate.
l never go with soldiers because
my parents object. These two boys
told me they never intended to go
with a girl who did go with
soldiers and 1 am the only girl that
they go with.
The other night a girl friend Of
mine was very anxious to go to the
show and there were two of her SOL
der friends with her. She did not
want to go with both of them and
so she insisted on my going along.
I went for the sake of my girl
friend.
AS I was on my way to the show
I saw one of the boys I am now
writing of. The next day he told
my other hoy friend that he saw
me out with some soldiers and he
thought I was a deceitful girl. He
