art. . , . . v , '
Of the landscapes there will be
the strong, forceful work of Henry
W. Ranger; the subtle, true J.
Francis Murphys; the simple, sin
cere work of Elliott Daingerfield;
the typically American F. Ballard
Williams, and others.
Some Virile Marines. '
Paul Dougherty, whose "Spray
and . Sunlight" the Friends of Art
bought last year and which hangs
in the public library, will have
some virjle marines. There will
be an interior by Frank W. Benson
of Boston, the modernized, Amer
icanized genre painter, and some
thing by the late J.. Alden Weir,
who paints' figures with insight
and decorative quality.

visions of a recurrence of the fate
ful riot of September 28, when smaii
crowds began to gather at the four
corners of the intersection of Six
teenth and Farnam streets.
With alleged trembling Knees,
anA th known nnakinor heart,
officers of the lav tiptoed their way
through the various congregations,
only to gaze aghast at tne sigm
which greeted their saucerlike eyes.
Right there before Heaven 'neyery-

dressed in the garij ot Lora r-aunue-roy,
insanely busy with the weighty
problem of constructing Something

given him by thoughttui juniors,
with the positive orders to occupy
his time with them at the busiest

Farnam Street Fishing.
Directly across the street from
him was another forlorn freshman
in knee trousers, perched on the
highest of high stools, with the
longest of long fishing rods, non
chalantly fishing for suckers, which
his friends the upper classmen had
told him frolicked in the galvanized
iron pail immediately in front of
him. Every now and then he re
moved a sucker from his hook. He
couldn't see them, but they told
him he had to catch one every few
minutes, so he did.
From a third corner, where the
southbound car stops to load and
unload passengers, darted a human
spectacle attired in the latest style
of evening claw-hammer, all dolled
up, with hardly any place to go.
But he, gallant that he was, busied
himself with assisting men, women
and children up and down the steps
of the spasmodic street car.
Fascinating Co-ed.
Few of the objects of his cour
tesies caught the drift, but now and
then a good looking co-ed who had
been through the rock crusher her

of those bewitching smiles of which

gregation here, recently. He
preached a sermon on "Happy
Homes" to 200 of the 500 couples

years.
Here are some "don'ts" which he
said refer to the greatest enemy to
happiness in the home and the
greatest aid to divorce courts.:

Spite your relatives, or

Acquire social standing. Above

Don't marry in haste, and don't
