BOSTON. March 22.-The FIRST

its course without ushering In any
material Improvement IN the situa-

been, and, taken as a whole. things
seem to be facing in the, right
rather than the wrong direction.
Peoples minds, at least. are
easier than they were a year ago,
or than three months ago. As a
Boston banker put il this week,
every one is more reconciled to the
situation. Most persons have set
tied down to the fact that times
will change some day: but whether
il will he this year or next. or the
year after. no one knows. At least.

That is, outside of the stock mar

Wall Street is m too much of a
hurry. With great industrial plants

that they will not do much better

Not much Importance is attached
here to statements regarding n

WISE PURCHASER
MAY AVOID TROUBLE
By M. B. MEYERSON.

In purchasing radio telephone or
telegraph sets. nOvices should be-
ware of the type of electrical supply
man VINO will not prove the set to
be efficient when it is first installed.
Demand for radio supplies Is far
in excess Jf manufacture at the pres
ent time. This has resulted in worth
less apparatus finding its way TO
store shelves to meet the very pop
uIar demand for wireless telegraphs
and telephones.
OF course the man who sells a
radio set IL not responsible If the
ground and aerial connections where
the set is. installed are imperfect,
nor is he to blame for careless or
wrong use of the set. \ radio set
at best is a delicate combination of
apparatus, il requires little technical
knowledge to operate at times. but
its care and protection should be III
the hands OF one who appreciates the
sensitiveness Of electrical apparatus.
The important thing is to have
an approved working set at the start,
IL one is to buy it on the market.
Not knowing much about his pur-
chase, which IL to become the pet

son is dependent on the advice Of the

advice does not spell confidence. con-
suit a radio man as you would an

Remembered perfumes rise:
An incense from the clover tho rose,
Where springs first south wind blows:
Lost fragrance from old lanes Of mignOnette
That life cannot forget,
And in the twilight or the dawn we turn
To where old altars burn;
Old affairs lighting up the years-and then
Lost voices speak again.

From what we dreamed one day;
We cry to God as in the silence then

Few actresses who have risen to
the position Of prominence have
had more interesting career or
assumed a wider array of roles
than Gertrude Vanderbilt. now
playing the former Ina Claire role
in David BelascO's production of
The Gold Diggers."
IF an actress comes upon the
stage with a feeling Of friendliness
for the people she is to entertain,
her good will reaches out and en-
circles them" says Miss Nander-
bilt. Il know that for I have been
within that circle. Those who walk
upon the stage hating their parts
and loathing their audiences, as
mistaken players sometimes do. get
what they send and failure threat
ems them. What is much worse
than personal failure is that they
have radiated destructive thoughts.
