stituted a "True Confession" game and
they proccde to ask each other ques

debate about the theories etc. that

of questions. Not a bad idea.

Iy the same. He talks like John J
Persuing private citizenT rather than
in tho salutory remarks and military
mannerisms of n general. Ho is shy
of ono thing however associated with
his pictures: tho bronzed face for it
now is like his hair faded to a deli-
cate white that is indeed distinguish-
ing. Ho walks with the same military
bearing shoulders back but his walk
reveals a sign of his ago a slight
feebleness. However ho displays in
his speaking a husky and command-
ing voico that frequently tones down
to nn emphatic whisper.
When th& general reached tho cof-
fee Bhop again ho was confronted with
a group of bystanders officials of
local clubs with dinner invitations
hotel officials and n girl -reporter
who again propounded him with in-
terrogations. The general graciously
refused tho invitations had little to
say to tho reporter and dined heart-
ily. After lunch ho and his sister
departed westward.

music chronicles. His singing violin
wns tuned to its best and though the
tempcrnturo outside the auditorium
hovered nenr tho freezing point he
spun n musician's tale as only an
artist can in the warm and uncom-
promising notes of his native Vienna.
Rising to n.n orgy of delicately-passaged
caprices and toning down to
soft melodic whispers of a lilting lul-
laby Kreisler varied his numbers in
their sequence.
As is his custom tho artist was here
beforehand; he wns forty minutes
enrly for his concert. Pacing ner-
vously backstage he Bhunned admirers
for gentle conversations with his man-
agcr and local bookers. But onco his
bow wns made and tho preliminary
nervousness conquered ho was ns
much nt home as with tho members
of his own family.
When ho stenncd out on tho audi
torium stage a thunderous applause
greeted him but it was no salvo for
his perceptibly unnerved fingers. Af-
ter tuning ho struck tho first bars of
his opening selection and his audi-
ence relaxed. From then on through
light and lengthy numbers both he
plunged with virile and enthusiastic
performance. Kreisler shone nt his
best. Tho audience npplauded hearti-
ly. There was a friendly sign in tho
communicative applause that affect-
ed tho guest. His playing increased
in quality.
As the hour grew late and tho pre-
pared program tapered to a close his
auditors began tho first scries of ap-
plauses that brought him back to tho
footlights for encore after encoro.
Ho graciously bowed and returned
time nftcr time in answer to their au-
dible requests for favorites.
His program is as follows:

A week-end party for several stu-
dent friends in Colorado last Satur-
day and Sunday climaxed Saturday
afternoon with the announcement
by Mr. nnd Mrs. G. W. Plaster of

dents here nnd prominent in vari-
ous school activities during' their
school careers. They each spent two
years in Simmons.
The cngngcmcnl nnntcruncement
culminates the outgrowth of a
school romance of comparatively
recent date. During this year how-
ever both of the principals have
not been in attendance here.
A pnrty in the home of the bride-to-be's
sister cleverly arranged
was held. Mrs. Wm. Dorn is the
Bister. The Valentine motif was
featured and when refreshments
were served tho plates bore cards
announcing the engagement nnd
approaching wedding which is to bo
next Wednesday at the bride's homo
in Colorado.
A party of three girls from Sim-
mons attended the affair. They
are: Misses Donna McGowan Bcu-
lah Ashford and Mary Belle Brcn-
nan. Miss Brcnnan senior in the
university was announced of Maid
of Honor.
The college life of the couple was
an active and popular one Mr.
Honey being a member of the Cow-
boy Band and Miss Plaster a Cow-
girl. o
