the value Of the Chautauqua and the
good influences that come with it.
Friday the Cramcr-Kurz Trio en-
tertained the children at the daily
childrcns entertainment, and in the
afternoon gave delightful concert as
n prelude to the lecture of the after
noon by Evelyn Hansen. The lecture
Well-dressed on a Moderate Income" ;"
was highly interesting, not only to
the ladies who were present but to
the men also, who were interested in
this matter as well as in the matter
of keeping the family budget within
range Of the family income.
The lecture was an unusual one.
She showed many interesting contrasts
and comparisons Of color in women's
wearing apparel and maintained that
women should dress according to their
own desires as to color, having regard
for their complexion and size, and
TO the ideas of other women. She
said that a woman could dress well
on 5000 per year and gave instances
Of women she knew having done so.
She was aided in bringing out color
effects and styles by members Of the
Cramer- Kurz Trio, who posed as lv-
ing models. The points she made
were practical every day suggestions.
Among them were the following :
Never take anyone with you when
you go shopping, but shop alone;
there should be a course in every
high school to teach girls TO walk
properly; a woman should pay most
for the dress that she wears most
during the week and the least for a
party dress; women should never buy
a hat for street wear until they see
it under natural light.
The big feature of Friday was the
production, Turn to the Right, +"
which drew the biggest crowd of any
entertainment during the entire week.
The play by Winchell Smith and
John f. Hazard, met all expecta-
tions, and while it was ripping
comedy that continually had the aU-
dicncc i'm laughter, it had serious
vein running throughout 1t dealt
with the struggles of family
against poverty, which was put on its
feet in financial sense by the aid
Of the son and friends, when the
huge peach crop was harvested
made into jam and sold for small
fortune. Of course there was a ro-
nance connected with the action Of
the play, which involved the princi-
pal characters as we'll as the assist
ing performers. Without doubt it
was the most delightful play that has
visited in Alma.
Saturday morning Duvall Brothers
entertained the children at the Chau-
tauqua tent with magic and mystery
and proved real source Of enter
tainment to the kiddies, who are still
puzzling over the "now you see it and
now you don't" tricks that were
shown them.
In the afternoon Lieurancc's Little
Symphony Orchestra gave an artists
concert. They furnished an abundance
OF classical and popular numbers both
i'm the afternoon and in the evening
when the orchestra gave the prelude
TO the lecture by Robert MacGowan
Of Pittsburgh. His lecture on democ-
racy and society was a strong one
from start to finish and held the at
tenton Of the audience closely
throughout.
Monday afternoon Mary Mason en-
tertained the youngsters for an hour
with her marionettes, faulty rail con
nections due to the strike again hold
ing up the morning program for the
children, who have been particularly
delighted with the entertainments
that have been rendered for them.
