TomoroTv Afternoon Tomorrow afternoon James Pershing in the lecture "Backing Up The Boya" Chocolate Soldier Orchestra. Tamormv Tomorrow-night "The Chocolate Soldier." Light Opera. Lovers of best in music had a rare treat last night when Miss Margery Maxwell, lyric soprano, Mis--s Florence Schubert pianlste and Milan Lusk, violinist, were the artists appearing upon the program. The patriotic note, never long absent from this year's Chautauqua, was struck at once when at Miss Maxwell's request, the audience sang with the first stanza of "The Star Spangled Banner." With the opening' number of her program, the audience was captivated with sweet and radiant personality of this gifted young singer whose appearance as a principal in grand opera with Galli-Curci and Dua-Rimini in the cast, has already achieved for her a notable place among the truly great singers of the present day. Her first group of songs, "Life," "A Little Dutch Garden." "Bitterness of Love," and "Spring Singing," disclosed the remarkable range and purity of her voice, in the clear and velvet like tones in which, no slightest suspicion of a false note could at any time be detected.

To the great delight of the audience, Miss Maxwell responded to an enthusiastic encore of this group with, "In the Land of the Sky Blue Water." With every song the versatility of her power of interpretation became mare apparent; it was very evident in the single grand opera number of her repertoire, the aria from "Rigoletto," and in the charming Norwegian love song. "My Lover He Comes on a Ski." but perhaps at no time was It displayed to better advantage than In the exquisite Interpretation of those two familiar songs, which find today a responsive echo in the hearts of every listener, "Keep the Home Fires Burning," and the The New September Fine Dry Goods 'iflM vr h- The Store of Character New Fall Silks In Fancy Stripes and Plaids Reports from the front-line trenches of New York, New eJr-sey, Ohio, Iowa, Ilinois and points east and west, confirm rumors of a tremendous victory for the farmerettes, with the opposing forces of General Food Shortage in full David MacTaggart and W.

Master Bruce McFarland this morning brought in to headquarters four fine books, including three volumes of International Short Stories, his own gift to the soldiers.

The response to the call for games for convalescent soldiers made a short time ago has not been as satisfactory as could be desired, probably due to the fact that many people were not aware of it. Any games such as checkers, dominoes, chess, parcheesi or any other games in good condition, are asked for. These will be sent to the men convalescing in camp hospitals. Everywhere from soldiers passing through the country comes praise for the canteen service. The Junior membership of the American Red Cross now approximates eight million, five hundred thousand.
