really seen his hair before. 1t was a
little bit stubborn, just there over the
left eye where it licked back, and 1t
was dark, almost black, except for the
sunburn. He was leaner than she re-
membered him, and taller. He was
utterly, unalterably dear and worthy to
be loved. Her love flowed out to him
like the thick warm rays Of the lamp,
that toyed with the brim Of his hat.

Manager C. c. Cappel announced today
This announcement calls attention to
the extremely important part which

the formation Of the symphony-a part
hitherto appreciated only by Conductor

Gaul has done the work of several men
and probably will continue to do so
next season. Reason: Mr.. Gaul Is one
of the cityS many musicians who have
long dreamed of a great symphony
here. and in the present organization
sees the most likely permanent fulfill
ment of the dream.
Besides being personnel manager and
librarian. Gaul also has been from

the symphony movement was first
aroused through the cooperative efforts
of local musicians late in the Winter
