ing solo numbers by Mrs. Herbst,
sopranos Dorothy MacMaster, violin

numbers by the club are all of ex-
eepuonal interest, showing to splen-
did advantage the beautiful blending
of the eight voices, which are equally
we'll balanced for the delicate, light
er songs, and for the brilliant dra-
matte numbers,
The spinning scene from The Fly

COFFEE TRYINGFO
ALTITUDE RECORD

Will coffee climb the steps to reach
the prohibitive prices of other food
stuffs? That's the question now both
ering housewives.
For some reason coffee and tea did
not advance in cost during the last
five years in proportion to other food
stuffs and drinks, but producers now
say all grades of coffee will not only
continue the altitude movement which
has already started, but that when it
gets to the top-wherever that is-it
will stay there until conditions are
changed.
Since November, 1918, coffee has
been balloOninE, and advances in cost
OF over 100 per cent have been regis
tered in many grades.
II has been said that many trees in
Brazil were killed last year and are
to be replaced in many coffee-grow-
ing sections. As n coffee tree is not
productive until the seventh year. the
Brazilian crop viii be small until
then.
Wholesalers arc looking for an
opening in the Porto Rico trade. but
Tor years the Coffec-ErowinE indus
try there has been almost at a stand
still not only because or labor condi-
tions. but because Of unfavorabIc
trade aid Legislation. The overpro-
duction of sugar on that island has
crowded the coffee tree from MANY
sections where It originally abounded.
