UKRAINIAN MUSIC SUNG
BY NATIVE PEASANTS
Delightful Slavic-Magyar Melodies
and Wild, Perfervid Dances Pre-
sented Here for First Time

TITS an III wind,' etc. Is an adage
particularly apt in these days OF war.
Ono of the natural consequences of the
closer knitting of nations which has
resulted from the world conflict is the
release of folk tunes and legends hith-
erto restricted to the native provinces.
Yesterday and the day before Philadel-
phia heard for the first Tune real Ukrai-
nian music and saw the thrilling. reck-
less dances which serve to release the
tremendous buoyancy OF the peasant
nature. The four operettas produced
at the Walnut Street Theatre made
the American comic operas" shrink into
q shameful insignifcance by compari-
son. Melody, harmony, histrionic and
vocal ability far outshone anything OH
the American stage today.
UhTainian music Is essentially Slavic,
but unlike the Russian II has a more
optimistic feeling. The inevitable fatal
ism of tho Muscovtes, which Is always
present In the folk songs as we'll as
the compositions of the recognized COM
posers. Is almost totally absent from
tho melodies of little Russia" To
the contrary, there Is touch of the
carefree Magyar in the music. The
melodies flow without the depressing re-
straint of the utter futility of every
thing. The harmonies are as many
voiced and complex and the rhythms as
emotional as we find In Russian chorals.
The United States should have an op-
portunity to hear and see the Ukrainian
singers. Fortunately, the trail has been
blazed BY "The Land OF JOY" And
without Understanding the value of
this Spanish production, the Ukrainian
music is of much better character. the
dances and costumes fully as pictur-
esque. and the voices infinitely superior.
A judicious collection OF the peasant
songs and dances, interspersed with
comment such as Julius Tannen pro-
vided in "The Land OF JOY" would
mako an evening entertainment long
to be remembered.

 Harry, weren't you little hard on the boy? Perhaps he couldn't help 1t. There may have been a reason for his delay"
 What excuse could he have? Mes senger boys are always late; looking in the windows somewhere, I suppose, instead of getting here with my suit" Dear, you are unreasonable because you are anxious to be on time with Elizabeth. You will have to learn to control your temper or it may get you into serious trouble. The poor boy was breathless and tried to explain but you wouldn't listen. Can't you see, dear, that the world will not come to an end because things turn out little diff ferently than you plannedT"
 Mrs. Dangerfield looked at her son with some misgivings. She realized more and more that he was giving way to nasty temper that was natu- of curbing it.
 Harry took the box of clothes up- stairs and after a nasty dressing, hur- ried out of the house and down the street to the home of his fiancee, Elizabeth Boothby, several blocks away.
 As he neared his destination, he saw a young man run down the steps of the house, jump into his automobile and drive away in the opposite direc- tion. He recognized him as Harold Young. one of his own friends and a popular young man of their set, and a pang of jealous anger shot through him.
 He mounted the steps with all the rage of the previous hour returned.
 When Harry entered the living-room he saw Elizabeth bending over a basket of pink roses. She looked up at him ana smiled
 Didn't I see Harold Young just leave here?" he demanded.
 "Yes," said the astonished girl.
 And he brought these flowers, didn't he?"
 "Yes," again answered the now frightened and bewildered girl, 'but-''
 "Then this is what I shall do with them"
 Harry took the basket, threw all the lovely roses on the floor, and stamped their beauty to nothingness. Then turning on hls heel without one look at Elizabeth, he left the house and went home.
 Weeks passed and Harry nursed his anger and jealousy with stubbornness He did not go anywhere that he might meet Elizabeth. Every one was SC busy with war and Red Cross work that he was not missed as he other wise would have been. One day while Harry WIS sitting in

of large and small affairs, visit Mir. Caldro continuously everywhere. A suggestion is sometimes worth mil lions. If you intend to make any changes, or if you are in doubt as to what is best to do, you will not rgret the time or money you spend with this gentleman.
 John s. Small of Memphis, writes When 1 was in doubt about making a change and wanted to sell my busi- ness, l called on you on the advice of friend. Your help and your sugges- tions enabled me to sell my property quickly and at good price. Since then your advice has been worth many thousands of dollars to me-"
 Mrs. D. c. of Hot Springs, writes this, "When called upon you my af- fairs were in hopeless condition, but your advice has changed all and now have all the prosperity and happiness l can possibly wish for"

his office miserapIy unhappy in his longing for the girl who was to have been his wife, the door opened and in walked Louise Spencer. Louise was an intimate friend of Elizabeth. Harry was pleased and surprised as he arose to receive his visitor.
 "Harry," began Louise at once, q came to see if you would help us with the flowers?"
 "The flowers" exclaimed he, "what fiowers?"
 "Why didn't you know that Eliza beth is the president of the Angela Flower Mission and I am the secre- tary?"
 "No. Tell me about it. please"
 q supposed Elizabeth had told you all about it. We were elected to office some time ago. We collect flowers from our friends and take them to the sick people on our list. Harold Young has driven his machine on most of the errands for us, but he sails for France next week and we need you, Harry"
 Does Elizabeth know you were go- ing to ask mel"
 "No, she doesn't. I only thought of it this morning. I have been so upset by Harold's going away. Tonight our engagement Is to be announced and am telling you now so that you will understand. You will help us, won't you. Harry"
 "With all my heart and soul, I'll help. You can depend on me day or night for anything"
 After she left. Harry walked up and down the length of the room many times. Twice he took down the re- ceiver of the telephone only to put it back again.
 His mothers words came back to him, "You will have to learn to con- trol your temper or it may get you into serious trouble" Yes, that was the whole trouble. He had been as nasty with Elizabeth as he had been with the messenger boy.
 Seizing his hat, he left the pile of letters on his desk and went to see her.
 He found her at home. looking sad, but as beautiful as ever, and she was bending over a large basket of flowers that had been sent in for the mission. Into her face came a look of sur prise and joy which she quickly sup pressed. Then looking calmly and coldly at him, she waited for him to ! speak.
 He went over to her and took her hand. He bent his head over it peni- | tently and said: Dearest, can you ever forgive my beastly temper? I was jealous of Har- old because I thought he brought the flowers for you. have just learned the truth. I am so happy and so re- morseful and if you forgive me prom ise to try with all the strength I pos sess never to let my temper get away from me again. Dear one, won't you ! try me again and let me help with the i flowers as Harold has done?" For answer two soft arms stole 1 about his neck.

THEFT OF AUTOMOBILES
 A NIGHTLY OCCURRENCE

Little Rock, Feb 23.-The tempor- ary theft of automobiles has become great nuisonce and nightly occur renee in Little Rock. As a rule, the cars are recovered by the police, some times the same night, where they have been abandoned in some distant part of the city, and occasionally several days elapse. Frequently the cars are driven into the country and wrecked and abandoned.
 Yesterday the police caught young man about 16 years old, who has been making practice of stealing a car almost every night and taking girls joy-riding. One night early in the week a school girl who was riding with him accidentally dropped her note book with her name and address on it in one of the stolen cars. Fol lowing this clue, the police soon had the boy in custody, and he confessed that he had taken a large number of ears recently, and giving rides to his lady friends. Under the law it is only a misdemeanor to take another's au- tomobile, even though it be wrecked, while the borrower is using it.
