PAGE EIGHT SUNDAY, APRIL 23. SAN BERNARDINO DAILY SUN San'Bernardino't Largest and Finest Dry Goods House. Both Phones 338. Sooal HappMng Hunter Jtappr iT.nt to B. Cel.bnt.d ANNOUNCEMENT of the rriRaire-mpnt of Mix Hosnle Gillette and Mr.

T. J. I'ert, lxth popularly anil v-fll known In Hernarrtlno, will lrlfir many pxpronston of Interest and cnrtRi atulatlon from their wide circle of rlem.K. Mr. Tort, who is now a chief clerk In tle e.mrea of the Southern Taclfle lines at Empalmc, Mexico, Is In San JSernardlno at present on a vacation, and when the Interesting event occurs will lake hlii bride to a home In the republic.

Another San Bernardino pirl recently ent a a hrlde to the same city. Gillette has been In Sun Ier-Tiardlno for tho past seven years. She in nn accomplished trained nurse and came here from Colorado Springs, completing her course In training with the corn at the County hospital, and has lcen very successful In the work. m. letter to XQtcrpaaaa.

(Thl Is the first of a series of occasional letters written for THE DAILY SUN by Willer M. Pert), irk, the founder of the Euterpean Fraternity, commenting upon the subjects of forthcoming; programs.) Th3 next Euterpean program will be one of rare Interest and charm. Although not one of the greatest In the character of Its subjects. It Is one of the most popular of the entire series because It affords such a large measure of sensuous enjoyment of a pure and elevated type. Gounod's "Faust," for one thing.

the most popular opera ever written, and has been listened to by more people than any other opera In the world. The music for our program, with the exception of one number, has been chosen entirely from this beautiful work, and exhibits In the highest degree (Snunod'n characteristic quality of melodious charm. There Is something; almost paradoxical the fact that this master, who has written melodies so sweetly intoxicating; that they thrill the senses with an cxccf s.of delight and enslave the higher functions of the mind and heart with a witchery they cannot resist, has also. In his moments of religious exaltation, written sacred works which appeal with eqiral potency to the loftiest aspirations of the soul. Bouguereau Is the art-brother of Gounod In these particulars.

His works possess the same fascination. The nwect, unsophisticated loveliness of Marguerite finds expression In everyone of his peasant or village maids. And, Hugo, he is one of the most successful exponents of the charms of childhood. "To portray the naivete, the malice, the smiles or the caresses of these dear little ones, to express the rose and whit flesh tones, the curly hair, the attitudes, the gestures, so simple, so Ingenuous, so graceful, he has invented the most picturesque, the most pleasing, the most original scenes of an almost endless variety." lil'te those of Gounod, his religious pictures are always above all else, beautiful in their outward charm. What melody was to Gounod color was to BVjupnerean.

"His Madonnas and his are sisters of his nymphs and his goddesses; his angels are brothers of h's Loves. He has been called the painter of flesh, not, indeed, as Rubens painted it. flushed with the abounding fullness of physical vitality, but in tints of oj-allne tenderness, distilled from the delicate pink of rosebuds or caught from the bluBh of modesty upon the cheek of innocence." The surprise of this program, for most of the listeners, will consist in the identification of Victor Hugo the wrlttr of great tragedies, the author of "Lps Mlserables" with the sweet sensu-ousness and the lyric charm of the painter and musician. For there are only a few in America who know Hugo an a lyrist. Yet, In the Judgment of the best critics, it is here that he most excels.

To quote a paragraph from Ellis: "Poet, dramatist, novelist, historian, philosopher, and patriot, the spiritual sovereign of the 19th century, was before all things a poet. Throughout all the various and ambitious attempts of his marvelous boyhood criticism, drama, satire, elegy, epigram, and romance the dominent vein was always poetic, and manifests Itself at every Mage of his long career." You will recognize Hugo as one of the preateBt lyric poets when you listen to the next program; Identical with Bou-Kiiereau in his love for childhood and power in its exquisite portrayal; akin to Gounod in melody of diction, in sen-puous charm, and In the expression of the loftiest sentiments that poetry contains. In poetic Imagery and pathetic appeal there Is nothing In literature more perfect than Hugo's "Poor Folk." and as an exquisite bit of satire his "Envy and Avarice" has never been surpassed. fxx.es cttred iir to 14 bats.

Can you name those swinging roses Gold-of-ophlr brimmed with Are: White La Marque In honeyed clusters; Henrlette, the bees' desire?" Rose-time again, and the Joy of being In California, "now that April's here." One of England's greatest poets when away from home on Italia' shores, expressed his longing to be In England In April, but as bio song evidences had In mind the sight of the opening leaves.

"While the chaffinch, sings on the orchard bough." April is not rose-time In England nor In our eastern land, where "April cold with dripping rain Willows and lilacs brings and "Wakes, laughing from their winter dreams, The streams." The carnival of Nature, when ravishing odors, riot of gorgeous color Hnd wine-like atmosphere make April the Ideal month of the year In California, Is passing In glorious lieauty. The flowers of every clime are at home In the Golden State and a host of varieties are now contributing to the fete of thi-royal rose. San Bernardino, city and valley, possesses roses In quality and quantity meet for any manner of festival, and should one of these Aprils add a Rose fete to the galaxy ot successful festivities the city has promoted in the past. All up and down and across the State flower carnivals have been given this month, some being announced for early Slay. The Woman's cluh of Sierra Madre closed with a monster floral parade yesterday the annual three days flower show in which they assisted the Board of Trade.

It was a gala time in the foothill city. To- acquaint the school children and the public generally with the wild flowers in the vlc'nity of San Diego. Professor W.

S. Killing, supervisor of nature study at the State normal, arranged a display In the reading rooms and corridors of the public library recently. The collections were gathered principally by the children. In charge of seniors from the normal school classes, and the experience was Invaluable familiarising them with the flowers. A spring flower show was gien at the Fairmont hotel in San Francisco several days for the purpose of increasing the fund for the Children's hospital.
