wearing sandals and covered with
blankets.
Meanwhile there is another picture

are declining invitations to balls or
are refusing TO dance if they attend.

is incumbent upon them to avoid
pleasure as much as possible.

American embassy by James r.
Sheffield. the Ambassador. certain
high Mexican families did not attend
for this reason. Also at a recent ball
given by Foreign Minister Saenz
certain young ladies who regarded
their attendance obligatory under the

To say that band concerts are
popular in Waterville seems almost
superfuous. The third entertainment
OF It's kind was held at Monument
Park last evening before a larger
crowd than has attended any pre-

city. The Waterville Military Band
furnishing the music did full Justice
to the program set before them. and
kept the throngs in a state of con-
tionuous applause.
Young people were in evidence to
an unusual degree, which would
seem to signify that the youth of the
city are not in the least immune
from the alluring strains of good
music. Roughly estimated. it might
be said that upwards of 1900 people
attended the concert.
