Music Lovers Enjoy Treat
Last Tuesday Evening

Music lovers who braved the
storm on Tuesday evening 17th
to attend the concert at the Com
munity Hall were more than re
paid fgr their temerity, The pro
gram has been selected with
great care, and each succeeding
item seemed to surpass the pre-
vious one in beauty of sentiment
and execution. Mr.. Albany Ritchie
yiolinist, member of the Spargur
String Quartette showed marvel
Gus technique and coloring in hi,
numbers and held his audience
spellbound.
Mr.. Magnus Petersen the vocal
ist is so well known and has so
many friends on the Island that
ii is hard tofind words to express
the appreciation of his efforts by
those present. He put his heart
and soul in his rendering of hi,
various numbers.
If the pianist Mr.. Frederick Fer
niger can produce such music a>
he did on a rather weather affect
ed instrument he must be Il real
wizard on a piano in good order
His playing was simply delightful
but much too short.
The concert numbers which con
cltded the program showed eacl
of the artists at his best. Mr.. r.
w. f. Martin is to be greatly com,
mended for bringing such a high
class ensemble TO Vashon Island
and we shall hope to hear them Il
gain.

Flavoring Extracts.

THE tabled breezes that blow from
l. the Isles of Spice and Cathay we're
no less fragrant than those which float
about factory where flavoring extracts
are made. If the manufacturers Of
these essences were able to do so, how
ever, the air would have no trace of
these fascinating odors. All would be
kept in close confinement until i'm
prisoned in the bottles that are part
of the equipment of every kitchen.
There is the famous vanilla bean,
which is not bean at all, by the way.
but a sort of orchid as long as ones
hand. 1t is costly. for 1t comes from
the moist, hot lands of the tropics and
has to be most carefully packed so that
it will not lose its odor on its long jour-
ney before it reaches the factory. Once
in the factory, however, it goes into a
fireproof storage vault. where it is aged.
Vanilla improves with age. 1t Is kept
in an almost alright room, where the
temperature is carefully regulated until
it is ripe. Then it is cut, compressed
and squeezed, and all the rich extracts
which it contains are withdrawn. Va
nilla costs from So to $11 pound. and
a big factory will carry at least 10000
pounds in stock in its vaults all the
time. The largest importer of vanilla in
tI1lS country Is JHe OWIler Oh udFOI-
ing essence factory in Virginia, which
keeps rather more than this quantity on
hand.
The vanilla bean Is one Of the
most difficult things to handle in the
favoring extract industry. Unless there
is common equipment for treating 1t
through its successive steps from the
raw material to the finished product
perfectly pure vanilla extract cannot be
made. 1t also takes a good many years
of experience to secure the best results.

Spanish Grandees.

THE grandees Of Spain have the
privilege of remaining covered in
their kings presence. The custom is
survival of the manners Of the old
days when the sovereign was regarded
as the first among equals. I'VE. your
equals. choose you to reign over us"
was the ancient formula employed by
the Spanish MOBILES at the coronation
of their monarch.
Formerly all the grandees wore their
hats when standing before the king,
but the caste spirit crept in and divided
them into three classes, distinguished
by the hat etiquette. The first-class
entered the royal presence with Their
hats on. The second class went in I'M

uncovered, but did not put on their

The Cortes made the Duke OF Well

him an estate as a token Of gratitude

This seemed to me rather limited

what then? Is there any future IN II?
"When you're an Indian nobody can
tell If your neck Is dirty" explained
Junior, land if you don't want to talk
to people you just grunt."
There we're, I realized, certain ad-
advantages in that.
"But, If you became an Indian. your
social life would be very limited" re-
: minded him. There aren't any otner
indians around here, and you Wouio
have to live by yourself. You wouio
miss the refining influences OF family
life. including the annual WISH OF Aunt

"All right" said Junior, as II tnaI
Settled the argument, then I'll be an

his mouth. he executed series OF Snrlll
war whoops which brought the entire
household on the run.

died away, cant you think OF some vo-
cation which would be little less Vlo-

on the sidewalk, like this boom.
Boom!" Junior stood up on ms
c,,oir and gave us a convincing i'm
',nr.oration of a couple of ash cans.
"BI,t garbage men have to start work
before daybreak," I objected. "Other-
wise they can't wake people up when
they h,rl their ash cans. Besides, you
can't step right into a position as a
full fedged garbage man, Junior. IL
undoubtedly requires preliminary traln-
ing although have never heard Il any
schools of garbage collecting"
"Maybe he could take correspond.
ence course" suggested my wife, "and
do his work at home"
IF Junior is going to study garbage
collecting, he shall do no home work.
I declared. That's final.
Eventually we decided that 1t Would
