The Salem Symphony orchestra
which eame into existence about
two years ago, unedr the direction
of Prof. John R. Sites, who was
at the time head of the School of
music of Willamette University,
ia beginning activities again this
season, last Monday night,-holding
the fifth rehearsal this year.
On that occasion, members of the
Salem district Music Teachers'
Association, who were in session
were called In to headquarters
, in Cottlllan Hall, to hear the
orchestra, and it is worthy of
more than passing note that only
the most laudatory comment has
been heard since of the organiza
tion, its work and its leader.
Th .Salem ' Symphony is ' the
aaswer-to an appeal on the part
of Salem folk who lore music
other than ragtime and jazz," and
in response to this demand Mr.
Sites feels that a permanent, or-
ginliatlon can be built up here,
which will eventually place
Oregon's capital on an equal foot
ing musically with cities its size
hi the east." At any rate, the
motive Is commendable, and those
who are vitally 'interested look
ttpon the effort with the utmost
" optimism. ' w
At present there are 42 Instru
ments in the orchestra, but there
ire a few vacancies in the violin,
rtolaa and string bass class which
ire open to anyone who is sin
lerely interested.
To give the Salem public an
Opportunity to judge for them
- s4ves of the) merits of the organ
i iAtion. will be. the first symphony
concert in the Armory, either the
last of November or the first of
' December. Alternating the sym
. phonies, of which there will be
j three, will be three popular con
certs, and by this is not meant
light music, but music that is
of & type best known and com
prehended by the ordinary . audl-
N extract from one of Mrs.
Fargo's delightful , old
folk stories. published
some months ago, -.n which Mom-
ruie takes a hand in untangling
an all too commonplace tanzle
It begins:
There bad been a quarrel In
the Honeymoon House across the
street. Biting word trod on bit
ing word like tramps In a bread
line; till- "
(Turning a page one guesses
what goes between for the voice
of the girl-wife goes on:)
"I'm not going to endure it
any longernot any longer. I'm
going away. I'm going away
back to my girlhood freedom."
"You can't," contested Mora
mie stubbornly. "Your freedom
won't be there when you get it.
You'll be a dual body. Some
times you'll be Stevie's wife, an'
sometimes ."
. As interruptingly- precipitous
as a shooting star the giri-wife
flung- out her hands in acrid
abandon. Her lusterless lauzhter
wail of truculeut bit-
spiuea in a
terness.
"Stevie's wife'" her lips scorn
ed: "Wifehood ! marriage
small compensation for v my girl-
nooa freedom! Yet it promised
it promised one blissful .soiree
of - ambrosia and nectar!"! .
Deliberately Mommie folded
her, mending and dropped it into
the basket. "1 don't know much
about them foods." she deprecat
ed, "but they don't sound real
relishable. Prob'ly you mistook
that promise. Prob'ly it meant
good bread an' butter -marriage
is that-a-way, like good bread an'
butter. An' nothing can. be more
satisfying than jes' that good
bread an butter. If it's made
right.".
The little girl-wife stirred ms
tively. "Bread outmarriage, marriage
or bread, it'sVall the same,"
coached the motherly voice, "you
have got f see V the makin an'
the bakin. or they don't either
on 'em turn out to yopr liking.
And both on 'em is home job3."
But Alice shook her head. "My
trunk's- all packed," she
said. ;
"But your freedom ain't wait
in" counseled Mommie. "You're
Stevie's wife. You can't go back
and be a care-free girl again.
You can't undo what you've done.
. . . Why take that pretty blue
sprigged dress you've got on, dear
heart. Spos'n you get sick of
it. Can you rip it up and put
it, back on the store shelf and
get the pink-sprigged piece?. . .
Life is like that, child. Don't
spoil what you have, and get
nothing but a bundle of scraps
in the end."
But Stevie's wife rose wearily.
her senses sodden with self-pity.
It's no use, Mommie. My mind
is made up. - And my trunks all
packed."
The heart of the older woman
sank. What more could she say?
What more could she say?. . . .
And then the telephone ran?. . .
(And as the story runs, llcm-
mie backs up her philosophy cf
life with doing as well as saying,
for over the leaf she confides to
her placid mate.)
"1 had to do something I jes
had to do something, . Sp.ikin'
wasn't enought." And the doing
of that something makes the
story.) For Mommie explains ta
Pa: r Alice' and Stevie's honey
moon was a-wearin pretty thin,
like ice in spring, an' them two
a-holdin' on for dear life, not dar
ing! to let go. not knowin all
summer was jes' ahead!. . .
Real life ain't made up o honey
moons, no more'n years are made
uri b" equinoxes." said Mommie.
And .'on to the last paragraph
"Mommie can alius do suthin' "
chuckled Pa Hollisterj He piled
the last stick of kindling, paused
looked over at the Honeymoon
House, and chuckled again con
tentedly! Steve and; Alive were
going to live happily ever after!

Leslie Methodist church. Rev. H.
N. Aldrich performing the full
ring ceremony ia the presence of
the immediate families of the
young people.
. The couple were unattended.
The bride wore a midnight blue
gown of crepe de chine, garnitur-
ed with, ostrich and jet, and she
carried a large shower bouquet
of Cecil Brunner roses. The wed
ding i march from Mendelssohn
was played by Malcolm Meddler,
a brother of the bridegroom. Miss
Alice Rose, a sister of the bride,
singing just previous to the cere
mony, "I Love You Truly." Lena

The season of annual Bazaars
approaches, and as the time
draws near, interest grows In the
one to be given by the Saiem
Chapter of the American War
Mothers, in the Armory Saturday
November 27. The War Mothers
have done a vast amount of re-
ief work among the families of
soldiers and among the men who
were wounded in tne service ana
all this work takes money. To
help them and at the same time
to get some dainties and articles
of the best home-made variety
response should be generous in
the matter of the forthcoming
bazaar.
A feature of the affair will be
the splendid. showing of war re
lics and souvenirs, the greatest
part of which have never before
been on display, much of which
is of the greatest value. Another
booth will contain general utility
articles, from millinery down to
aprons for every occasion. The
best of cooked foods will be sold
and there will be candy-booths.
grab-bags, fortune-telling booths.
and all the attributes of a regu
lar bazaar.
A musical program will be
given during the hours and vari
ous other entertainment features
presented
The Armory is a big building
however, and to make a credit
able showing will take a great
deal of material, and realizing
this the War Mothers who are
vitally interested are calling upon
every woman in the city, whether
a War Mother or not, to contrib
