He rose now, and, silently as he
had come. passed around the end OF

Her gaze did not follow him. She
sat still looking down the golden

in her hand, her elbows upon her
knees, facing that future. somber,
but splendid, to which she had de-
voted her son. and which in later
years he so singularly fulfilled.
That was the time when the mother
of Meriwether Lewis gave him to his
fate-his fate, so closely linked with

ATTRACTIONSARE
ANNOUNCED FOR
LyCEUM COURSE
LOCAL COMMITTEE I'M CHARGE
HAS MADE SPLENDID
SELECTION.
Ticket Sale Should Be Large

antee of Quality.

The committee in charge of secur-
ing attractions for the local Lyceum
course, announces that it has been
fortunate in contracting for a group
of attractions that rank among the
very best in the entire Lyceum field.
With such an especially strong course
there is no question but that the sale
OF season tickets will be unusually
large.
A Lyceum course is essentially a
community-building influence. 1t of
fers good clean entertainment fea-
lures and lectures which are informa.
tive and inspirational. So universal
ly recognized is the worth of such
courses that they are found in almost
every community throughout the Unit
ed States and Canada.
The fact that the attractions on the
local course have all been secured
from the Redpath Bureau, the foun-
der of the modern American Lyceum,
is in itself a guarantee of their excel
lence.
The following attractions will ap-
pear here this season:

Indirect and Local Lights
The principle in such an arrange
ment, as pointed out by lighting au-
thorities Of the General Electric Com
pany, is one Of reflected light. The
light itself shines directly on the cell
ing and is reflected downward upon
the room without the slightest glare

plan as this.

isn't so easy, however, with the center

that combines gas and electricity Nor
can it be done successfully if the wir-
ing is not sufficient to allow a bit Of
variety in the lights.
Bright Lights, Artistic Fixtures
The illustrations show specimens Of
living room lights which are good,
bright lights and at the same time
cheerful1y attractive and artistic to
see Glass-shaded pendent lamps in
the center of the room are economical
and fairly decorative. The lamps
should be frosted-that is, fros ed
bulbs should be used to decrease the
glare.
There are other styles of fixtures
that are even better looking. And
some folks like semi-indirect fixtures,
which give a wonderfully mellow, soft
glow, no glare at all, while the light
foods over the whole central part OF
the room AN electric lamp of high
wattage-100 to $50 or even 200 watts
is necessary with fixture of this
sort, and that, Of course, means more

duently a greater expense but the de
lightful illumination which results is
considered worth the cost. The shades
