And she flashed him a smile over

The sixth night he was late. 1t

Follop The Tracks

Tracks always have the atmosphere
Of mystery about them Doesn't make
any difference whether they be rail-
road tracks, which lead into the land
.of far away, or little or big footprints.
Tracks key up your imagination
particularly odd looking tracks. Per-
haps you cant figure out the sort Of
animal that has passed on its journey.
That adds 10 the zest Of the question.
Just because yesterday was April
1st. with its pranks and mysteries, Il
was a right good time to try to puz-
xIe out the odd looking tracks which
appeared in that Issue
Many animals have big, husky feet,
and IT'S worth while brushing up on
this track business to discover what
kind of an animal makes this sort oi
footprint. After all. little fun adds
TO the JOY. Of living And you'll un-
doubtediy get some fun out of this
April Est mystery.
Follow the Tracks Is the cry all
over the nation today Study this
mystery picture and those that fol
low tomorrow and Friday It'll be :
lot Of enjoyment. Just Follow the

Recital Of Bkllfea Pianist AE CaryeI
Hall Appreciated By Large
Mussc Loving Audience

The plano recital given last night
At Caryel Hall BY Adoiph Torovsky
measured up TO the expectations of
the small but appreciatiye audience.
Small, swell. to be exact, the audi
enee was large, when one considers
the size Of Annapolis, from which the
musical audience was drawn.
Some people attend q musical re-
cital because they know and under
stand music; others may not be able
to differenfiate between THE Star
spangled Banner, and Rhapsody in
90 Minor, but music has It's appeal
and they attend for that reason. The
Interpretation Of Toroysky appealed
to both kinds.
That ToFovsiy's work was apprecI-
ated was shown BY the many encores
he received and the words of hearty
and eager praise that we're to be
heard after the recital and further by
the fact that he could reach and hold
the attention OF his audience through
the entire classical program

i'll regard to the postponement of their

ceived iii some quarters that they had
called of their drive and intended
turning over all their funds to the hos
pftal This would Z an an impos-
sILility as the Provisional commit
tee has not received actual cash and
one could readily see that II would he
out OF the question 10 turn over
.peIdges which had heen made for one
purpose, 10 another organization. and
moreover. 1T would not have the power
TO turn over such pledges without the
cOnsen. OF every individual subscriber
Because Of the hospital crisis, and
It's need Of the whole-hearted support
#af the community the Provisional COM
mittee willingly ceased operations In
order that the hospital drive should
IN no way lie hanpered or Kindred.
And now that its drive Is near close,
the Provisional Finance committee in
the coming week will resume its ac-
tivities which will make possible the
bringing Of the y VI G. A organiza-
tion to Annapolis and Anne Arundel

every girl IN 10th town and county her
