bZ Nd q IrI ~ A RETH THO1PSON
BY u MRC. ELIZABETH THOf1PSON

,of Easter with me- My fance did
not send me as much as AMI Easter
card. When he came to see me in
the evening he told me how pleas
ed his mother was with some roses
he sent her.
Something has come over me to
make me hate secrecy and to feel
, that | do not want to marry the
boy l am engaged to. really be-
lieve he loves me, but he is very
selfish. If / break my engagement
l know it will make him realize
more than ever that he loves me
and he will be broken heareed.
Do you think / ought to confess
to him how disappointed I was
about not receiving Easter flowers,
or do you think l ought to break
the engagement? The way | feel
now I would like to be free on Sun
day night so that the boy who sent
the flowers could come to see me.
GERTRUDE T.
Feeling as you do, / think you
ought to break the engagement. 1t
is only half way engagement any
Way, since the boy is unwilling to
have it known and since he goes
with other girls and you go with
other young men.
Probably when he loses you he
will realize how much he cares for
you, but the lesson ought to do him
good. He will get only what he
deserves.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: 1 am a
girl of seventeen and / have been
keeping company with a fellow for
six months who is twenty years of
age. When he was three years old
one of his arms was badly burned
and SCARED, and for that reason
my parents are against my going
with him. They seem to be under
the impression that he is sick
fellow on account of his arm, al
though l am sure that he is in the
best of health. They insist upon
my breaking off with him. What
would you advise me to do? Meet
him on the outside or break off at
once, although l love him and l
know that he loves me?
ANXIOUS.
The accident might as easily
nave udppcnSu 10 d sun OI your
parents, and would it not be unkind
in their eyes for another mothers
daughter whom he loved to dis
criminate against him because of
his accident? There may, however,
be some other reason which you
have not disclosed. After all, you
are but seventeen and still should
have the guidance of wise and low
ing parents.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: l am a
girl IS years old and l am in love
with man IS. He loves me also.
What shall l do? Is it proper for me
to kiss him good night?
FLUFFY FLO.
If the young man loves you so
much that he has proposed mar
riage, it is all right to kiss him
goodnight. But if he talks f'oely
of his love and seems to care more
tabout making love than anything
, else, beware of him
Dear Mrs. Thompson: Can third
cousins get married?
ANXIOUS.
Yes. third cousins can marry.

Art Treasures Feature Tea.

Masterpieces by famous Ameri-
can artists from the art gallery of
the Misses Brandt of Davenport
formed a most interesting exhibit
Saturday at the weekend tea of
.the Art Student League held in the
Davenport studios.
Gems of the collection were the
Bruce Crane canvas "Sunlit VAL
ley" and small George Inness.
The Bruce Crane picture fairly
radiated warmth in the mellow
golden glow of its light and was
full of the atmosphere so typical
of this colorful artist.
The Inness picture was a small
oil but its wonderfully painted
trees, depth of feeling and soft il
ilusive tints made one feel they
were looking out on mystic world
of woods and plain.
Carlton Virgins "Homeward,
was a realistic scene of sheep; 1rv-
ing Couse, the famous painter of
Indians, was not at his best in his
small oil of a COUGHING Indian, and
the preline suggested the possibili-
ties of his brush; William Emer-
sons Dance of the Fairies was a
/ picture one longed to study and go
| back to look at again and yet again.
, One is recalled to the possibilities
of paint by his rather realized Wis
| ioning and his figures suggest he
has studied and likes Corot. He
has caught the very effective way
of ballooning his trees and the
/ witchery of golden lights, but while
! his pictures hold a strong appeal it
is through beauty of form and fan
| cy and color rather than because of
| their trueness to nature. Other
pictures in the exhibit were "Twi-
! light by Easten, Evening by Try
on and storm" by Ranger.
! There was keen appreciation ex-
pressed at the kindness of the Mis-
ses Brandt in loaning these valu-
able and very beautiful pictures
which one would find only in either
| the exclusive home or some very
rich collection of pictures.
! Mrs Hugh Johnson of Moline as
| hostess at the tea was assisted by
Mrs. George n. Peek, Mrs. w. Ed
| lin of Moline and Miss Roberta
| Hostetler of Davenport

Young Violinist
Thrills Audience
With His Ability

David Poiakoff, the 17-year-old
hoy fIoIinist, prosege OF LudTlg
Becker. conductor OF Our Sym
pfiony orchestra. played better than
on any previous appearance IN the
trf-cities yesterday afternoon. wnen
he gave his first fall recital pro-
gram before a company or music
patrons in the ball room OF the
Outing club, Davenport. SO much
improvement was noticed in the
work OF the young Russian, VINO
came to this community to devote
his time to study and practice,
away from the hurry of the larger
centers, as to Immediately warrant
fhe strenuous practice to which
young Polakoff has devoted him
self. The seven hours OF daily prac-
tice told In his interpretative work
displayed yesterday. The company
OF Interested followers of Mr..
Becker's discovery sat through the
hour and a half program awed by
the genius OF the young player, and
his power TO play with such a I'm
ish and understanding.
There was youth in his work, OF
course. but 1t was not dominant,
and for one so young to not display
this quality would be tragic. 1t
was youth which Vibrated and
giowed, giving the impression of
vitality and freshness which it is
hoped will never be lost by the
young player as he ascends to new
heights and adds to his qualities
those which years and experience
imprint on the work OF the player.
He seemed to challenge the little
instrument to tempt him to fur
ther show his power as he played
movement after movement of the
two heavy opening numbers
Georges sonata for piano and yio-
lin and Vieutemps concerto in d
minor. In the first piano parts
were ably rendered by Kenneth
Bailey, who also played the accom-
paniment for the young player.
Marvellous technique is displayed
in the violinist's work, lingering
and bowing being likewise almost
faultless. He could draw deep,
sorrowful, mellow. sobbing dark
tones from the instrument, and the
shrill, singing, birdlike tones were
equally as distinctly defined. Dou-
bic stops and harmonics were
breath-taking in their perfection.
Polakoff played selections which
challenged his ability of interpre-
tation, numbers which have been
played here by recognized artists.
and he played them wonderfully
we'll. Besides the opening num-
bers, there were two groups. to
which he responded with encores.
The first included Tschaikowsky's
"Serenade Melancolique." Tartini-
Kreisler's Variations and Beetho-
ven-Auer's Turkish March. In the
second group were "On Wings of
Song tMendelssohn) Sarasate' s
Zapareado and Wieniawski's Aire
Russo from Opus No. 6.
