There is only one Alec Temple
ton, pianist, musician, improviser.
imitator and entertainer par ex-
cellence, who can draw a capacity
audience and hold it for two solid
hours, with a taste for more. Yes
terday afternoon Constitution Hal
served him once again as set
ting for his many talents and
was the scene of demonstration
such as is rarely accorded an
artist.
After the printed program was
over. the audience remained
seated clamoring for more, min
Cling shouts of delight with
thunderous applause every time
the artist made his way to the
piano. His limitations of q singer,
interpreting a modernistic song
cycle, of a mystery story an
nouncer and his performance of
the tWenty-fourth caprice's theme
by Paganini "the American way"
given as encores. threw his lis
teners into gales of laughter.
Mr.. Templeton's improvisations
yesterday had added beauty and
fantasy. He may have found the
accidental combination of the
five notes named by the audience,
especially congenial to be able to
develop them into such lovely
pieces. He surpassed himself in
the spontaneity of his ideas as he
combined and presented them in
the styles of Bach, Mozart, Cho-
pin, Gershwin and Beethoven.
The pianist's technique seems
to have gained greater fluency,
his cantilena greater feeling.
Bach's chorale prelude Sheep
May Safely Craze" arranged by
MIR. Templeton, ChopinS Pre-
ludes op. %, Nos. II and T." and
the second movement from Bee
thoven's Sonata in D Major, op.
10" had depth and nobility. Bach's
prelude and Fugue in G Major:
"Toccata" from Debussy's Pour
lie Piano: Rachmaninoff's Pre-
lude in G sharp minor" given as
an encore, and the Strauss
Templeton rippling "Staendchen"
were examples of his keyboard
mastery. There is always music in
whatever Mr.. Templeton does
whether it is serious, funny or
modernistic. Villa-Lobos' Little

HOW TO BE ENGAGED
by Marguerite Bentley
AUTHOR OF WEDDING ETlovETrE COMPLETE"
DEAR MRS. BENTLEY: How should an
engagement be announced?


ANSWER: It is customary but not obligatory
for the parents, some other relative or friend
to give party in honor of the announcement
of an engagement. The party may take almost
any form luncheon, tea, buffet supper,
dance or evening get-together.
Even if the engagement has not been kept
secret, the high point of the. party is the an
nouncement. Often the girls father proposes
a toast to the couple. Or the guests may spot
the ring as soon as they come in.
The diamond traditionally symbolizes the
betrothal. Of course, many other stones, both
precious and nom precious, are used in engage
ment rings Bracelets or other jewelry may be
betrothal gifts, for in modern times the ring is
not must" In fact, the whole idea of an
engagement gift may be eliminated. Quite

HORSE AND
BUGGY DAYS
by
Ida 10 Martin

We have to wonder whether some
day we can expect to have winters
like the ones we read about, back in
the days of the Horse and Sleigh.
I've heard lot of people try to say
that winters were not any more Sc
we're then than now, but that the
difference was only in conveniences.
1t is very true that one pillow today
can remove as much snow as dozens
of men then, but it is also true that
the plows have less snow to remove.
On the other hand, the good old
horse and buggy, or sleigh, could
easily navigate in several feet of
snow, but just see how far these
modern streamliners would get in
even a small snow, if there were no
plows. One of these underslung jobs
would have been as helpless as a
new chick in the SHOWS they had
those days.
But if we look at a few figures,
believe that everyone will agree that
the SHOWS of several feet in days of
old were much more that our SHOWS
of several inches today.
Back in the old days we find the
following on record, written about
this County and Hagerstown: about
the close of the year 1889 there was
the greatest snow storm which had
occurred within the memory of any
then living. The snow began to fall
on the 21st of December and in q
short time the roads were blockaded
and the streets of Hagerstown rend-
cred impossible"
At that time the Franklin Railroad
was in progress of being built, and
the contractors for the section near
est Hagerstown, Pollard and Clay
had employed teams of horses in
that work. They sent out the teams

About the time of this fire in Hag-
