MUSIC
THE Shriners of Southern California
hereby serve notice that the week

by them to their own use, that this
series of days is to be labeled ""Shrine
week," and every one else is to keep
hands off. Ben Greet and his company
of forty-five players, with the Russian
Symphony orchestra of fifty members
under the direction of Modest Alt
schulcr have been engaged for that
date and will appear every afternoon
and evening at Snrine auditorium.
The week will open with "Midsummer
Night's Dream," given by the entire
Greet company and with the Mendels
sohn music played by the orchestra's
children's ballet, and complete scenic
investure. Tuesday afternoon, Russian
Symphony orchestra program, Tuesday

■will be given Wednesday afternoon, !

Over 19,000 people attended the Haw
thorne afternoon when given for the
children on the lawn at the White
House the first of last month.
Concerning €enor Antonio di Grassi,
who is to appear in Simpson auditorium
Thursday night, Elizabeth Westgate
says the following in the Pacific Coast
Music Review concerning that violin
ist's appearance in Alameda:
"Di Grassi's technical capacity Is
limitless, I should declare without great
fear of a contradicting voice. At any
rate it was more than equal to his
program—at no time did he reach the
ultimate borders of his ability. And
when it is said that the first movement
of the D major Cpncerto of Tschaikow
sky. not well known here, but full of
all amiable and unamiable difficulties,
was his first offering, you can realize
something of his quality. That far
flung'cadenza in itself is a test of a
player's accuracy, courage and style;
and in spite of a not over-good ~E string
it was triumphantly played.
"Prelude of the First Sonata (the last
two as encores) showed di Grassi a
highly intelligent and intellectual play
er of the classics, and the Ernst Otello
Fantasia gave him a chance at all the
tricks of the violinist's trade!"
The third and last of the Kingsley
opera recitals will be given this aft-1
ernoon in Blanchard hall, with Miss.
Mabelle Clarke and Aliss Marguerite
Walker as soloists. The' opera Is.
"Faust," with the Gounod music, and
for lecture purposes has been divided!
into ten parts, namely: The dread!
compact, the kermesse. the calf of!
gold, festive valse, the jewel song, the I
garden scene, the soldiers' chorus, the
moonlight serenade, the spectres' ride
and Marguerite's journey to heaven.
A little later the famous Constabu
lary band of the Philippines, one of
the finest military musical orgamza-1
tions in the world, is expected to fill an
engagement in Los Angeles, and the'

HOW I TOOK MY
WRINKLES OUT
After Facial Massage. Crfams and Beauty
Doctors Had Failed
BY HARRIETT META
Trouble, worry and ill health brought
me deep lines and wrinkles. I realized
that they not only greatly marred my
appearance and made me look much
older, but that they would greatly in
terfere with my success, because v
■woman* success, either socially or
financially, depends very largely upon
her appearance^ The homely woman,
■with deep lines and furrows in her face,
must fight an unequal battle with her
younger a-nd better looking sister.
I therefore bought various brands of
cold cream and skin foods and mas
raged my face with most constant reg
ularity, hoping to regain my former
appearance, but the wrinkles simply
■would not go. On the contrary, they
seemed to get deeper. Next I went to
a beauty specialist, who told me she
could easily rid me of my wrinkles. I
paid my money and took the treatment.
Sometimes I thought they got less, but
after spending all the money I could
afford for such treatment I found I still
had my wrinkles. So I gave up in de
spair and concluded I must carry them
to my grave. One day a' friend of mine
who was versed in chemistry made a
suggestion, and this gave me a new
Idea. I immediately went to work maK
ing experiments and studying every
thing I could get hold of on the sub
ject. After several long months of al
most numberless trials and discourage
ments I finally discovered a process
which produced most astounding re
sults on my wrinkles in a single night.
I was delighted beyond expression. T
tried my treatment again, and lo and
behold! my wrinkles were practically
gone. A third treatment—three nights
In all—and I had no wrinkles and my
face was as smooth as ever. I next
offered my treatment to some of my im
mediate friends, who used it with sur
prising results, and I have now decided
to offer it to the public. Miss Gladys
Desmond of Pittsburg, Pa., writes that
it made her wrinkles disappear in one
night.
Mrs. M. W. Graves of Bridgeport,
Conn.,- states: "There is not a wrinkle
left: my friends say I look twenty years
younger. I consider your treatment a
godsend to womankind." Mrs. James
Barss of Central City, S. D., writes:
"The change is so great that it seems
more a work of magic."
I will send further particulars to
anyone who is interested, absolutely
free of charge. I use no cream, facial
massage, face Bteatctng or so-called
skir. foods; there is nothing to inject
and nothing to injure the skin. It is
an entirely new discovery of my own
and so simple that you can use it with
out the knowledge of your most inti
mate friends. You apply the treatment
at night and then go to bed. In the
morning, lo! the wonderful transforma
tion. People often write me: "It sound=
too good to be true." Well, the test will
tell. If interesed in my discovery olease
address Harriett Meta, Suite 523F Sy
racuse, N. V., and I will send you full
particulars.

colored regiments. The members of
the band are thoroughly trained and
within the organization is a complete
symphony orchestra of sixty-two play
ers. From the musical standpoint the
organization will rank with any in the
world, and Sousa, who heard the band,
said: 'This is the finest military or
ganization I have ever heard, and I
have heard many and in all parts of
the world.'
"The instrumentation of the band is
as fellows: Two oboes, two English
horns, four flutes, two E fiat clarinets,
fourteen B fiat clarinets, two alto
clarinets, two bass clarinets, four bas
soons, eight saxophones, five garas
ophonesi seven B flat cornets, four
trumpets, seven French horns, six
trombones, one bass trombone, six tu
bas, two euphoniums, three drums,
complete tympani, chimes, etc.
"The symphony orchestra consists of
thirty-four violins, six violas, six cel
los, five contrabassos, four flutes, two
oboes, one English horn, four French
horns, four clarinets, one bass clari
net, two cornets, two trumpets, four
trombones, three bassoons and the
usual battery and tympani.
"The repertoire ranges from the se
vere classical to the jolly Spanish folk
dances and American ragtime, and
different programs will be given at
every concert.
"This is the largest musical organ
ization that has ever appeared west of
Chicago, and Manager Greenbaum cer
tainly has shown great enterprise in
arranging for it to anpear here before
even Washington will hear it.
"The symphony orchestra will fur
nish the dance music at the president's
hall, and after a few concerts at th<e
White House the band will tour the
country, re-embarking for its island
home about September."
The next lecture in the Baumgart
course of travelogues that is being
given Sunday nights in Symphony hall
will take place February 21, when
"London, the World's Metropolis," will
be the topic. The lecture for this
evening has been omitted, owing to
the unavoidable absence of Mr. Baum
gardt in the northern part of the
state.

FASHION'S KEYNOTE
ARABELLA
<k
THE day of the patron saints of iove is here. It goes with
out saying that today "hearts are trumps."' It is the vogue
that one must send their sweetheart a valentine on Febru
ary 14. That valentine may be a huge bunch of violets. Ameri
can Beauty roses or bon-bons—some token containing senti
ments of admiration or affection. "Surely 'tis the time of woo
ing when St. Valentine is here, and my heart to you is turning
in the love-time of the year." Some very applicable advertise
ments I read the other day from Cupid's Courier: "For^Sale —
Cupid's darts; wedding rings." "To Let—Love cottage." "Ex
change—One lonely heart." "Language and love taught."
"Lessons in the art of kissing taught." Many a heart, I hope,
has been made happy by some loving thoughts and vows
plighted on this St. Valentine's day.
The "Whitley Jewelry company is
tne most talked of store in Los An
geles today. You can always find
the latest eastern novelties there.
Eastern peopl^all say that there is
nothing in their market that this
firm does not handle. Now there
are all the fads of the moment —
snakes, the emblem of eternity;
Egyptian scarab, the occult swas
tika, zodiac stick pins for the birth
day. Like our ancestors, we are
going bacly to study charms and
amulets. If -there is anything new
in the jewelry line you will find it
at this store.
Where can one find a more popu
lar firm than Dyas-Cline? The ar
rangement of their commodious new
store, 214 West Third street, is be
ing commented upon by everybody.
Tha paintings of both mountain and
water scenes that serve as a frieze
upon their walls seem very timely
for their class v of goods. There
stands the mighty lion, as if playing
sentinel over the towering moun
tains and the ducks on the bank of
the streams ready for a plash in the
water. All lovers of the sports will
appreciate this. Saturday they
were keeping open house to all
friends.

URGES PLAN TO STEM
ARROYO SECO FLOODS
Councilman Dromgold Suggests Bulk
heffi System—Scheme Involves
Condemnation of Property
Owned by Salt Lake
Councilman Dromgold got busy yes
terday starting a movement to pre
vent property loss from swollen
streams in the Arroyo Seco next win
ter.
His plan is to riprap the bed of the
Arroyo and thus control the water that
with every heavy storm rushes down
the old b^ed of the arroyo with a ve
locity that nothing can 'withstand.
The bridges spanning the arroyo
have bee,n threatened by the recent
storms. The bridge at Avenue Twenty
has been out of commission since the
first heavy rain this season, and the
bridge at Avenue Twenty-six is in a
shaky condition. Not only is this true
of the bridges, but the water has been
eating a new channel and threatens
to carry away a portion of Dayton
avenue, and with it some of the city's
large water and sewer mains.
In order to build the bulkheads it
will be necessary to define officially
the bed of the arroyo, and to do so
certain property must "be condemned.
Most of this la owned by the Salt Lake
railroad. It will be a costly process
to acquire title t o this land and build
the bulkheads, but it is Mr. prom
gold's idea that an assessment district
should pay the cost. As the property
owners nearest the arroyo are the
ones threatened with loss of property
by the annual rampage of water,
Dromgold believes they should pay
the greater part of the cost.
inspiration is the extremely pictur
esque Egyptian head dress. A fas
cinating craze it will be if only the
right type of women will take it up.
The olive complexioned brunettes
will be just the people. Jeweled
bands around the forehead with tabs
hanging over the ears have been
worn by some of our ultra-fashion
able.
Have you visited Beach's millin
ery emporium? One of the swellest
in the city. Artistic from start to
finish. He is ready to greet both
old and new customers at 843 South
Broadway, Majestic Theater build
ing. Beach says hats this sprins
were never more picturesque.
Will our faddists take up the
"Simian" mode of speech? The day
may come, for we stop at nothing
nowadays in our eagerness to save
time.
There is a downward slant in
modes. Hats down at the brim,
skirts down on the floor, girdles
down at the side, sleeves down on
the hand.
Silver will figure a great deal in
all costumes this spring and sum
mer.
The picturesque toque is steadily
growing in size and favor. Millin
ery keeps one guessing.
