The city council failed to include the customary appropriation wnicn maqe tnese concerts possible Jjto unless the city rouses i - itself and undertakes by voluntary! contribution to provide i sufficient funds, there will be no concerts. The Salem band has long enjoyed a fine reputation; and their park concerts have drawn thousands of people to the city. Visitors from a! distance have been profuse in their praise of the band, and of the playing of the Waite founfain which is ah accompaniment of the program. The more Sa lem people recall the pleasant evenings they have passed at .. these park; concerts the more reluctant they will be to see them suspended; for if the band drops its work for a season it will be a hard matter to get it reorganized again. We believe there is enough interest here and enough loyalty to the band to preserve the organization and revive the concerts. People here have just been spoiled because the city provided the money by taxation. In most small cities voluntary contributions finance the hands Jnrl trio rnnarfa . - ----- vMwa, Cannot that na undertaken here this season, thus- saving the band; and giving the people once more fine open-air, band cuiicens on summer evenings i I .

This places aa additional burden upon the heart and the sufferer notices that h has difficulty La walking up steps and must stop to catch his breath. He cannot walk quit as fast aa formerly without , complaining of shortn of breath. At time h may hav pain around th - heart.

Joan wore the oal bin drru that Francine couldn't sell, with a great spray oi gardenias from Cur tis, on her shoulder. She looked very young and appealing. Mrs. Bar stow could find nothing to criticize, and Curtis was radiant with pride. Tho Parleys, middle-aged and shriveled came first. Then the Mosses, very magnificent in coat tails and black velvet, faintly smell ing of moth balls. Mrs. Thompson bent and kissed Joan, a hard little peek of a kiss. "So this is Curtis's bride-to-be!

The Giddmgs, distant cousins of thelate Mr. Barstow weren't so bad. They didnt star the way the Parleys and the Mosses did. The other guests were younger people, most of whom she knew al ready.
