Enthusiastic Interest in the Char
leston Festival Throughout
South Carolina.
I1 isw wi:h the greatest gratitienation
that the (Committee Sees every day
evidences of the keen interest that is
being taken by the people outside otf
Yhai4ts:ont in the coming Festival
son thePe is every likehhood that
the earnest and faithful work that
has been done and is still being done
-will meet with rewards more gener
.ous than could have been expected
or hoped for.
This naturally is having the effect
exciting the zeal and vigtor of the va
rious conmmit tees so a1s To make it
possile for themi to oundo their for
agemient given t hem fromi everv~
source has s:imulated them into ar
omulishigmire than even they
hemselves would have believed pos
sible of their own strength and abil
iiV.
The Festival Chorus is rapidly ap
proaching a degree of finished and
artistic execution of the numbers
ihat are being rehearsed that reflects
not only the greatest credit on the
Conductor. Mr. Brueschweiler, but
contirms the impressioi that is being
,,i\en all over the State that the
united and undivided support of the
entire city of Charleston is being
given to the Festival by every in
dividual citizen, each belping in such
capacity as his talent and resources
ve him the opportunity.
:The more that is learned of -the
Russian Symphony Orchestra the
more fortunate the Musical Commit
tee feels in having been able to draw
this notable aggregation of musi.al
talent so far from New York City
the headquarters of the organization
which finances them-The Russian
Symphony Society.
The reports .that come. in are the
most favorable as the sources from
which they come are the more crit
ical, and the highest praise comes
from those whose ability to appre
ciate and recognize true musical tal
ent and artistic skill -cannot be ques
tioned.
Herr Modest Altschuler, the Con
ductor. is a man whose executive
abilitv and keen intellect give to his
musical nature the tone and balance
that render it possible for him to
produce the finished and artistic per
formances that have excited the
praises of half the continent, with an
orchestra so large that. however
great the musical development and
training of .the individual members,
the proper co-ordination on the part
of each of the fifty members is ab
solutely necessary to give produc
tions with a maximum of effeet.
It is perhaps in this latter capac
ity that Modest Altschuler most ex
cels. As a musician 'he is magnifi
oent. but asta Cond-uctor who plays on
musicians as a pianist strikes the
keys of a piano, he is superb-per
haps beyond comparison in this coun
try. in the opinion of many excellent
crities.
REMTNDER FOR THANXSGIVING
Uustom of Placing Kernels of Corn
at Each Plate is Gbserved in
Some Families.
Among some Massaehusetts fami
lies it is a time-honored custom to
place a few kernels of corn at each
cover of the Thanksgiving dinner..ta
ble in memory of the Pilgrims. These
kernels are eaten standing, before the
company sits down to enjoy the feast.
It is a short memorial service, but it
is a valuable jog to memory. while it
fixes an important historical fact in
the esildren's receptive minds.

where a family gathering has been
held for nearly a hundred years, and
now includes members of four gener
ations. Thanksgiving Day finds all the
quaint furnishings brought o'ace more

Some of the daughters or g rand

of the feast, so s to assist in restor

The Marriage Question.
A couple of guests at the Spalding
were seated in the lobby of' the hotel
tme other day engaged in earnest con
vesation upon the oft-disenssed qlues
t ion of marriage. says the Dunlut h Tri
bne. One of them put it this way:
--efor e a man's umiarried lie's a
dud4le: ' in marriage lie's subldued.
Bfore~ li~ mrriage lie has no button on11 1
his shiirt. Aft er marriage he has no
shirt at all. Before marriage he
swears that he would not marry the
best woman on earth; after marriage
he finds that he hasn't.''
-The otheir was not to be outdone.
He told this:
