and Robert Macdonald, pianist,
formerly OF Augustana Conserva-
tory of Music, gave a recital last
evening at the Music Center, DAY
export, under the auspices OF the
Tri-City Art league, which was
thoroughly enjoyed by the ESQ peo-
pie In attendance. 1t was a de-
lightfuIly varied program. the voice
and piano number making pleas
ing combination in an evening of
Chamber music. The league VIII
clear $125 from the affair.
The program rendered included
some of the very familiar classical
numbers and ranged the familiar
ballad and song numbers. Encores
were generously given by the TWO
artists.
MIR, Macdonald was best liked in
the Scarlatti Sonata, B fiat major,
and the Leschetitzky Etude Hero
fuue. These were brilliantly inter-
preted, showing a poise and stur-
diness, the pianist having gained
much in finish and feeling since
ais work was known in the city.
The numbers were the Mendelssohn
Spring Song, done a little breath
Iessly: a Saebeck Minuet, in which
the beautiful rhythm was clearly
brought out, and Arabesque lies
chetitzky).
Mr.. Kraft was in splendid voice
last night and displayed his ability
in final high notes to perfection.
One Of the best liked numbers was
Handles ''Where'er You Walk" to
which his voice is especially adapt
ed. pale Moon" and lana" were
we'll liked He used his smooth,
high voice with case and sang with
much feeling. Encores included
"Swans" (Crumb). a very different
and new number for voice, Song
OF the Open" IaForge), and Re
Spouse" BROWN.
The two artists were rendered an
Informal reception following the

Helpful Hints.


To Renew White Window Shades
Place your shade fiat on table
and remove dust. Get bottle of
white shoe dressing and with a
sponge apply it evenly across the
width. By the time you get to the
other end of the shade it is dry and
ready to hang up right away. This
is very effective and inexpensive.
Grease new sweet potatoes be-
fore baking and they will be nicer
and not so dry and hard.
To remove spots from silk and
woolens, one-quarter cup of salt
to a scant cupful of gasoline will
work wonders, and best of all, will
not leave the objectional ring that
is so hard to remove.
Care of Begonia-Use common
household ammonia in the water
with which you water your begOnia
and you will not be bothered with
bugs in the dirt. Use one teaspoon
to a quart of water about once d
week. This is also very beneficial
to all foliage plants.
To remove chewing gum from
wash goods take common kerosene
NCodl OllJ dAu IuU Inc opoL III II.
This will take the gum out without
harming the material.
To Revive Flowers - Flowers
which look hopelessly wilted can
be revived to a surprising degree in
the following manner: Fill vase
with fresh water and put flowers
in. Put the shears underneath the
water and snip off the stem of each
flower. Do not lift out into the
air again. Maiden-hair fern which
is SO beautiful but so perishable
can be made to live for days after
being picked if the ends are scared
over by holding over a flame, then
placed in water Roses should be
placed in water during the night
up to their petals or laid fiat in a
bathtub of water.

The hostess removes the coronets

nosegays is then passed among the
men, each of whom chooses one &C

chosen the girl whose crown

former and they become partners.
Partners dance around the pole

also not advise you to accent theip.
invitations to go automobile riding
unless you go with the boys a lone
time and know them well and yonT
parents know them well. Bv ac-
cepting such an invitation from A
mere acquaintance you give the i'm
preston that you don't care wbat
you do. The next time boy asks
to take you riding, tell him that Won.
would like to have him call at vouI

with him on so short an acuuainf-
ance.
When a girl gets the reputation
of being a promiscuous spooneF
and when she permits familiarities
the first time she is out with a.
young man, he considers her too
easy" to bother about and once is
enough. Probably you realize this
about spooning; I merely thought I
would caution you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am II
years old and a junior at high
school. Several of the girls have
formed a club and we meet on
Thursday night every two weeks.
We go to each others homes and
have light refreshments. At the
last meeting l happened to men
ton that my birthday would come
on a club night. Right away the
other girls said l should have a
party and we would invite BOYS. /
thought it would be a lot of fun
and so l said l thought it would be
all right, but when l told my mota-
er she said l absolutely could not
have the party. Some of the girls
went ahead and invited boys with
out finding out whether mother
said 1 could have them or not. Now
am in an embarrassing position
and 1 don't see how l can get out
of the party and l don't know what
can do to get my mother to let
me have it What can l do?
SUNNY SARA. z-
The girls in your club had no au-
thority to arrange your party for
you, and so it is no more than they
deserve to find that your mother
objects to their plan. Simply telle
them how your mother feels and
they can tell the boys they. have
invited. Naturally it is embarrass-
ing for you, but it can't be helped.
AS long as spring is here, why
don't you suggest spring hike in
stead. Have a wiener roast some
Saturday afternoon. OF course
each girl should take something
toward the feast.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: A young
married woman invited my hus-'
band and me to her house one
evening, and when the day came
was very sick and we couldn't 90.
The next time my husband was
called out of town and when I let
her know she seemed angry and
felt she did not believe me.
l like this woman very much and
do not want to offend her. Do YOU
think it would be all right TO in
vite her and her husband TO our
house now? HILDA.
Yes, invite her to your house
Then she will see that you want
her as a friend and were not try
ing to get out of being with her.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: What will
remove warts? BILLIE
Nitric acid will remove warts n
two or three applications. Buy
small quantity of the acid at the
drug store and apply it to the
warts by means of a toothplck, be
ing careful not to get the acid on
the flesh around the wart After
two or three days apply the acid
again. In a short time the Wart
will dry and fall off.

contrasting as the fancy in the
dates, or as the coat suggest to
come as near pleasing every one as

Fashion NeUs
Notes by WireI
| to The Argus

Paris, April 25.-To swagger, sar-
torially, is to be smart just now.
A frock seen in one of the theatres
illustrates this new twist to the
mode. The frock was of petunia
crepe de chine, made on simple
enough lines with a plain, fairly
snug bodice. The swagger came
with a bandits cloak of lace, a
wide, long, filmy thing caught on
one shoulder and tossed with negli-
gent and gallant grace over the
other OF course, the lace was fas-
tened in this position and inciden-
tally formed a bateau neckline.
London, April 25.-Victorian col
ors are creeping back into favor.
Not so long ago you were hopeless
ly old-fashioned if you went in for
maroons; but now to have a ma
room gown and wrap is to be at the
pinnacle of style. You would not
suppose that maroon and black
would be pretty combination.
But maroon silk is being combined
with black lace and the result is
not bad. Two other old-time shades
which have lately drawn attention
are an uncompromising purple
which most people cannot wear
and a brilliant green with a dis
tinctly blush cast to it.
New York. April 25.-Two of the
prettiest hat ideas seen recently
are the beaded straw and the tuck
ed satin straws. The beaded straws
have strips of bead-work interlac-
ed with the straw and are usually
trimmed with a single beaded Or
nament or beaded taSsel. The
tucked satin straws are not really
tucked at all, but the very finest
straw is so arranged and over
Tapped that the brim seems to be
covered with tiny tucks.
New York, April 25.-A favorite
style at present is that of the front
and back panel held loosely to-
gether at each side by a knot of
ribbon and falling lower than the
hem of the under-dress This style
gives an air of great simplicity to
the gown. But as a matter of fact.
the gown is not at all simple, for
the panels require both an under
dress and some sort of beaded or
Powered girdle to keep them from
floating at random
