KONECNY, ARTIST OF VIOLIN, WILL APPEAR IN CITY

Josef Konecny, who will appearher May 12 under the auspices of the American Legion, has the reputation of convincing his audience that he is a master of the violin with his j very first touch of the bow andj strings. Under his mastery the instrument! is said to express pathos, gladness," enthusiasm, passionate appeal and every human emotion, with infinite,

accuracy and truthfulness. Virility and intensity are the qualities that are said to stand out as dominating features of the playing of Mr. Konecny. As Mr. Konecny plays his various numbers, audiences find it easy to understand the enthusiasm his music brought to his soldier comrades during the war and the following months when he toured the foreign encampments. Seconded by Accompanist Mr. Konecny is capably seconded by his associate accompanist, Mary Tris, a gifted young woman. She has a facile technique which includes much power and a conjuring delicacy upon occasion. Miss Tris la a young artist of fine personality, rare gifts and finest' musicianship. She is a pupil and graduate of the late William Sherwood, America's greatest master of the keyboard. The third member of the concert company is Lola M. Ally, a soprano of many good parts and the ability to project ballads with a certain, sure touch. Her numbers are Bung in an easy, clear and bell-like soprano, and her work furnishes a pleasing contrast to the heavier program of the others.

What's in a Name (Copyright)

MELISSA Melissa Is literally one of the sweetest of feminine names. It comes from the Greek word meaning "to soothe or sweeten," and hence, honey or the honey-bee. Melissa was sometimes said to have been the name of a nymph who first taught the use of honey, and the pretty fancy arising from this belief made bees the symbol of nymphs. Strangely enough, Melissa came to be the title of a priestess, as well as a feminine name, in classic times.

The Italian poets called Melissa the beneficent fairy who protected Bradamante and directed Ruggero to escape from Atlante and afterward from Alcina, upon the hippogriff. Is is they who are responsible for Melissa's heritage of romance and for her widespread popularity in romance-loving lands. France has a Melisse in great vogue and Melite, another form. Is also popular. The sweet significance of Melissa brought her into favor with the Puritans in this country where she still exists as a proper name for demure maidenhood. In France, on the other hand, Melisse implies a tinge of mischief and coqueiry which has made her a popular heroine in literature. The pearl is Melissa's gem. It will enhance her sweetness and affability and bring her sincere friends. The pearl's augury for tears will be important in the case of Melissa, since the gem will prove a talisman against unhappiness and dangers of every sort. Wednesday Is her lucky day and 3 her lucky number. The daisy is her flower.

June 25. Jeffry came to pose for me this morning. He was in high spirit and told me that "Cecile" would join us later. I painted without interruption for two hours and then he gave a long yawn, which conveyed to me the fact that he was getting tired. We stopped. I 4hink I said before that Jeff is extremely magnetic. Well, he is all of that, as well as fascinating. Aunt Cecilia is doing well for herself. He is beautifully lean, graceful as a panther, and so well groomed and clean always. I am sure that dozens of women have been in love with him, and yet he came back to get his Cecile! So much for the modern theory that men are impossible where their feelings are concerned. Jeff certainly knew what he wanted and stuck to the idea through all the years. Which indicates to me that he has a strong character. We sat and talked while we waited for Aunty and he was so interesting. Finally he brought the conversation round to Aunt Cecilia, very cleverly.

I'll admit, and before I knew it he was listening to a recital of just what the darling had had to go through since his disappearance twelv years ago!

"Yes, that's why we want the revolution!" shouts one. Immediately the whole left wing takes up the shout, and "revolution!" is demanded with much vigor. Ladies All Excited.

FIRE DESTROYS HOUSE AT SPARTAN SB URG, O.

Fire destroyed the residence of Ed Chenoweth at Spartansburg, O., and for a time threatened the entire ham-', let, Thursday afternoon. Sparks ignit

ed the roofs of a number of houses nearby but little damage was done as bucket brigades quickly extinguished them. A 14-mile run, by the Winchester fire department failed to do much good, as the house was practically gonp whn they arrived.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am IS years old and have been going with a young man 22, who has ben divorced from his wife. He says he loves me and has asked me to marry him. I have not given him an answer because there is a young man of twenty whom I love more. He also wants me to marry him, but wants me to wait two

and a half years longer. I don't want to wait that long, and so which should I marry. DARK CURLS. If you marry for the sake of being married and not for love, you will regret it. Two and a half years is not too long to wait, because you are very young now. Dear Mrs. Thompson: I have been married two years. My husband was a soldier boy at the time we were married and so I kept on with my work until the war was over. At that time we did not' have enough money saved to buy furniture. Anyway it seemed foolish to do so because his mother had given up house-keeping and had everything we could possibly want, and more too. We rented a little house and everything went fine. His mother was rooming and so we had only each other to consider. After a few months, though, his mother became dissatisfied and was so unhappy that we said she might come into our home. She did this gladly. Now I can't do anything right. She is afraid T will make a spot on the dining room table from hot dishes. I am really very careful and there is no danger. She watches everything and if I put laundry in her old stocking bag she makes remarks about it. I am made to feel all the time that the furniture is hers and I ought to show unceasing gratitude for the privilege of using it. I am not grateful and I wish a thousand times a day that we did not have one piece of the furniture. Aside from this I like her and I know we would get along if I only had a chance to feel I was in my own home. What can we do? HELEN H. There is nothing you can do except to buy the furniture from your mother-in-law or buy new furniture of your own. Doubtless this is out of the question. Expenses have been so high ever since the war that very few married couples find it possible to save. You will have to learn to control your feelings and nerves. Accept your mother-in-law's remarks as you would a rainy day or a puncture when you are out automobile riding. It is useless to rebel against the inevitable. Without a doubt you will find it easier to change yourself than to change her. You can be happy if you regard her criticsm as something unpleasant to ho nvf"''nfilrp(i ond fnrcotten.

maids?"

I confessed not to have done so, and he continued. Jeffry is a lover, so I turned my toes out and settled down to a long listen. After a dissertation on the beauties mental and physical of my Aunt Cecilia we got to discussing her work and her ambition. Here I felt more at ease, for I know my ground as well as hers. "Lindsey, do you honestly think

j that your aunt wants to paint very j badly or or well, what do you think?" he queried, j I told him what I had been thinking i about that subject for some tin.e past. and I just wish you could have seen i the grin of relief and positive joy that came into his face. It surprised me. ! Men really are careless about the way

they show their feelings, I think. He grabbed my two hands and pumped them up and down for five minutes, thanking me over and over again for my revelation. I felt like a fortune teller who has just told someone a bit of good news. But I felt glad at seeing Jeff so happy. "You know, Lindsey, I've felt this about Cecilia for some time and yet it's not through anything she has said or done I've just sensed it. I don't believe she knows it herself but the thing has happened, and she'll realize just what it is, a bit later on, when she sits and thinks it out and tries to paint. It is I who have gotten into her blood, usurped the place of the paint, and between you and me, little girl; I'm going to stay there, always." All sounds like "The Arabian Nights" to me. Romantic and thrilling. (To be continued.)

It seldom fails to relieve the torment and disfigurement. Sufferers from skin trouble should get a little jar of Mentho-Sulphur from any good druggist and use it like a cold cream. Advertisement

All Want to Say It. The whole left wing rises to its feet

in unison and makes for the platform, Jut is told to sit down until the speaker has finished, and does so, muttering. After that it seems to lose heart and things tame down.

The next speaker is a lady who takes it upon herself to explain why the liberals want local option. It is not prohibition, she says soothingly, in fact it has nothing to do with prohibition. It Is just to give everybody a chance to say what he does want. England believes in self-government she catches herself in time and adds hurridly, "except, of course, this dreadful Irish question." When she finishes, there is a general impression that local option will give everybody an opportunity to drink more than he does now, and there is an expression of serenity on brows that had been furrowed by worry over the predicted "draught."

Ladies Certain of Victory. The meeting closes with a sensation of victory for the lady stewards, who hav.e showed their ability to hold the lawless element of the audience under such effective control. The revolutionists sneak out quietly to avoid the reproving gaze of the female part of the audience. The speakers rush back to their duties in the House and the chairman receives the congratulations of the stern ladles on the platform. It has been quite a triumph for her, even if it was an ignominous failure for the revolutionists.
