FREE LIBRARY BENEFIT
Mrs. Sylvia McGuire, the Charming
Southern Entertainer, Will Give
Recital.
In March and Ootober of each year,
it has been the custom to hold a bene
fit for the Dallas Free Library, and
these entertainments have always
been of a high order. Eerslake &
White have generously donated the
use of tbe Colosseum rink, and an
excellent program will be given there
on Friday evening, March 27, when
Mrs. Sylvia McGuire, the -widely
known entertainer, will give her
famous lecture-recital, "Echoes from
Dixie Land."
Mrs. McGuire has recently given
this entertainment with great success
in Tacoma and Seattle, and will return
to those cities for three more engage
ments next month. This is what
Taooma's leading paper has to say of
her:
"The program under tbe name,
'Echoes From Dixie Land,' carried
her audience back to the sunny south
before the war, when the old charm of
plantation life was unbroken and
something of the old-time illusions
lingered about the cotton fields and
cabins. A daughter of the south, born
in the famed blue grass country, Mrs.
McGuire knows her people, black and
white, and to each she gave the tribute
which only tbe loyal southern woman
feels. Eminently qualified by birth
and association, her portrayal of the
quaint folk-lore of the south, her
Impersonations, her negro dialect and
speech and reminiscences of her old
Kentucky home, were all Inimitable,
keeping the audience delighted from
beginning to end.
"Mrs. McGuire personally is hand
some and won her audienoe com
pletely by the charm and refinement
of her manner."
Mrs. McGuire will bring with her
Miss Beulah Cadwell, one of Port
land's sweetest singers, who will sing
a program of delightful Southern
songs.
It has been decided to make the
price of tickets within the reach of
everyone, for a big house should greet
these artists, so adult tiokets will be 36
cents, and children's tickets 25 cents.
After the program, there will be a
skating session.

WISE TALKS
BY U. S. LOUOHARY'S
Of-FICE BOY.
You've often heard folks make this
remark: "If it wasn't for eating we'd
soon be rich I" I guess eating is the
first law of Nature. What would
merchants and manufacturers and the
millions of working men and women
do for a living if everybody quit eat
ing? Besides half the pleasure in life
Is in sitting np to tbe tempting viands
with which we satisfy our appetites.
The people that don't eat well, don't
half live. Pa says he didn't know
what good living was till he came to
Dallas, and I got my job with U. S.
Loughary. We surely have the dandi
est assortment of good things to eat of
any store around. Have you thought
particularly about your Sunday din
ner this week? Tbe walk down to the
store and satisfy yourself that we al
ways have the latest and best things in
the market to tempt tbe man of the
house. We don't let anyone beat us
on prices.
