RUSSIAN ORCHESTRA. As wis predicted the Russian Orchest ra when It appeared ut the Genliett theater last evening proved to be one of the moat Important musical and social events of the early spring. Tho public, became, acquainted last evening with the orchestra aa a concert organization and It la to be hoped that the acquaintance- may suggest something more Intimate In tho future. Tho program aa selected for tho concert last evening was varied and wan also a most appropriate one. Never In one evening to much of tho rhythmic colorful harmonies of the modern school heard. The enthusiasm of the audience was spontaneous throughout and Mr. Modest Altschuler, tho director was complaisant and generous in giving encores. He conducted his orchestra with much dignity and skill nnd this was even noted at the afternoon rehearsal by tho reporter who was present. His kindness and ability iti criticizing his players being a striking feature and shows one why he has succeeded as he has. He wa a noted musician In Russia long before he came to America. He Is n brilliant and gifted conductor, his musicians work as one man with him. and this fact was fully demonstrated last evening when tho orchestra played the first number on the program. Symphony in K by Rachmaninoff with a, b. e, and d. numbers as follows: Ijirgo, Allegro Moderato. Allegro Molio, Adaggio. and Finale Allegro Vivace. "The Spirit Kong" from llayden was beautifully sung by Madame Hulse whose excellent contralto voice delighted all. Quartet "Night" as sung by Mr. Frank Ormsby. tenor; Miss Nina DimItrieff, soprano; Lealla Joel-llulse, contralto, and Bertram Schwann, baritone, was one of the most pleasing numbers on the program. Madame Dlmltrleff sang Aria, "Juan IVArk" by Tschalkowsky. She has a high, clear well balanced voice and It was equal to every demand of the comjwser. She was recalled and after repeated applause tho audience whs able to win another song from her. Many people remarked last evening that they thought the orchestra was tho best which has been heard here for some time. Its great climaxes wonderful crescendo and decrescendo, delicate passages that seemed to float away like a breath of air are things to remember. The signal success of this organization is due to this one man. Modest Altschuler. MR8. STUDY HOSTESS.

Make Life Worth Living Says Elder Cunningham. When pure, healthy blood courses through every vein and artery of the body, the organs are in a healthy condition, and a strenuous active life is a pleasure to man or woman. Hut if the blood is impure and sluggish, the appetite poor, digestion weak, and vitality not up to the standard, life la a burden; then you need Vlnol, our delicious cod liver and irnu tonic, without oil. Such evidence, as comes from Henry Cunningham, elder or the Baptist Church. Kinstou, N. C. should be convincing. fie says, 'I was run-down aud weak from general debility, and suffered from virtigo. 1 took Vlnol with the most gratifying results. I gained in health and strength and now feel unusually well." Elder Cunningham's recovery was due to the combined action or the medicinal elements of cods' livers, aided by tho blood making and strength creating properties of tonic iron contained In Vlnol. Try a bottle, of Vinol with tho understanding that your money will be returned if it does nor help you. Ia)o II. Fihe, Druggist. Richmond, lnd.

FADS AND FASHIONS

j New York, March IS. The exhibi- : tion of spring styles in the leading ; shops shows a great variety of onepiece gowns, although their variety i depends almost exclusively upon the jdiffrence in materials, colors, triin- ! mings and superficial variants of de sign, and the general chanf teristic of silhouette being practically the same in every case. Neat one-piece walking frocks, adapted for early spring use, are displayed in large numbers. They range from the severe tailored model to delectable soft little frocks of silk or chiffon or marquisette dainty enough for afternoon , uses, yet shrort, simple and dark enough to be practical for street wear. ; The frocks representing a more severe type are developed chiefly in the tine twill serges and light weight wooljens o fsoft, firm weave. The dark j blouse, almost invariably trimmed in j black, are of course universal favor ites, but tnere are some very smart models iu light browns and the line of soft cool, creamy, tans which have individual and appropriate names, but may be said to belong to the group of champagne tints. The black and white mixtures stand beside the dark blues in the list of favorites and there is far more variety in this line than ordinarily. The well known shepherd plaids and broken chicken foot checks are again in evidence, but there are numerous other neat little designs on the -same general order. Tiny triangles or cubes or octagons set together point to point are a relief from the long familiar checks and sometimes these little figures are so arranged as to give an irregular stripe line instead of an allover design. There are too some vedy good looking black and white checked stuffs which differ from the familiar shepherd plaids in weave rather than design, having a suggestion of the loose homespun quality in the weave, though they are comparatively smooth and firm and very light and supple. There are some good black and white effects in basket weaves too, and all these designs, if in texture light enough to be practical for spring wear, make up into serviceable and charming one-piece models trimmed in black and as a rule, relieved by a touch of color. Some of these models are of the utmost simplicity and made with a perfectly plain skirt with front and back panel and a plain bodice with sleeve and body in one and a big collar of black satin extending to the girdle in front and of square sailor shape in the back. A note of red, cerise, French blue or emerald green is very often introduced into the black and white frock and bits of Persian or Russian figured silk or embroidery are also used as trimmings; but some Of the very best looking trotting frocks in the black and white are entirely without color relief, the color note being left to hat, parasol, etc., used with the frock. Large quantities of metallic trimmings, almost all iu the vieux or dull finish, are shown in the shops ad on the Imported models. Galons, laces, embroideries, braids of all kinds, nets, everything imaginable in the metallic line gleams dully on the trimming counters, and cord in the dull gold, silver and gun metal is in great demand now that cord girdles are so much the thing for defining the high waist line of the empire frock. These girdles, ready for use with pendant or tassel finish are also offered in the trimming department, as are the same cords in black and colors. The new foulards, while retaining all the charm and durability of former

years, seem much more supple and the colors are distinctly more artistic. Almost all of them have patterns of graduated dots or spots. Washable voile and French crepe and wash marquisettes are expected to rival the foulards in favor for spring and summer wear, while for gowns of a heavier variety, the tailor made suits, there are beautiful French serges, Scotch handloom tweeds and ratine. The new laces are beautiful and the heavy laces, such as Irish, Venetian, ti let, antique and Russian, are in great demand, as are the finer laces of familiar character and the French and Italian novelties. It is said that this is to be a great lace season, not only trimming, but whole frocks and coats of lace promising to have a great vogue. Among the novelties in trimmings are such of coarse heavy cream filet net with hand darned designs iu colors wonderfully blended and often Oriental in their soft richness of harmony. There are wonderfully handhandsome bands and motif trimmings too in heavy lace, such as real filet, combined with hand embroidery on sheer or heavy linen.

EXPRESSMEN GO OUT ON SYMPATHY STRIKE

(American News Service) . ' New York, March IS. Drivers of United States and Wells Fargo express companies went on strike this morning in sympathy with the employes of the Adams express company who are already out, alleging there had been discrimination against union men. The union officials claim twenty thousand men are now out. Police accompanied all strike breakers on wagons today. Trouble was anticipated. COURTSHIP IN MARRIAGE. Many men are prone to consider that their courting days end with marriage, but the little attentions which the wife used to delight in are still dear to her. Maybe flowers and candy are too expensive now, but a man can bring joy to her heart by making her work easier. Have her try a cake of Hewitt's clean, white, Easy Task soap. It will do half of the work which has been wearing her out; she can keep her hands soft and white, and the house will be kept neat and clean.
