tectives from their point Of view were
perfectly justified In placing me un-

For burglar to have gained access
to the apartments without the conniv-
ance of the employees seemed almost
an impossibility. For hlm to have
escaped from the building after hav-

l never had seen the weapon before
and could not imagine who could have
placed It there. There was only one
explanation possible. 1t had been pur-

object of throwing suspicion on me.
The one person-the only person

Our era Of extravagant buying
is about over, and its effect is be-
ginning to be felt.
There is slow but certain ten
dencv toward a decline in prices,
with the prospect that another
year may witness material re-.
duction in the cost Of living.
But anything like sudden
drop in all lines is not to be ex-
pected. 1t is rather to be avoid
ed, as it might bring our whole
commercial fabric tumbling about

history. And no same person
wants a panic.
Before there can be any great
decline there must first be an

Regarding the young violinistic
genius, Isolde Menges, who appears
here on Jan. 18th, the critics on the
Pacific coast have all gone into
ecstasies. The Vancouver Sun of
January 18, 1913, says rhapsodical-
ly about Miss Menges' performance:
"Such musicianship has no country.
So might Miriam of the Hebrews
have played before the entranced
Egyptian; or the Greek that's before
Alexander; or the Italian Vittoria
Colcnna before Lorenzo the magni-
icent; or the boy angel with the short
dark masks Of hair have gather
ed round the cradle of Bethlehem in
the mind of BotticelIi Her whole soul
goes into her body, into her every
movement, the serpent coiling and
shooting of the wonderful arms, the
expressive torso, the changing and
shadowed countenance, enigmatic as
that of Leonardo da Vinci's Monna
Liza"
Miss Menges is most fttingly part
nered by very valuable Stradivarius
instrument Of beautiful appearance
and sweet and noble tone; and in her
highly gifted hands it sings most
persuasively and unerringly; she can
also make it almost shout with joy.
NESS Menges has many strong
points in her equipment. Allied to a
very pleasing personality and to her
super-excellent technique, she posses
ses certain measure of physique

Of the ideal violinist). To this young
lady, concert playing is evidently a
pure joy. Her style is very quiet and
unaffected, and is perfectly graceful.

quisite artistry is cubtly masked by
a simplicity of manner Her success
