Rains falling In showers all daY yesterday and in heavier fashion last night kept a large number of people away from the Redpath Chautauqua tent; but did not mar the enthusiasm of those who braved the weAther. The musical part of the program yester day afternoon and last night was ren dered by the Emerson Williams com pany and consisted of Scotch songs given in kilts. They pleased their iearepi at both concerts. In the af teronon V. S. Watkins gave a reading of the "Fortune 1Hunter" andl held his hehrers in an original and( daring method of entertainient. After the night concert of the Emerson Wil llama company, Dr. Carolyn E. (eisel began her lecture on "How to be Young at Seventy or Old at Forty," but the noise of the rain on the tent prevented her from continuing. An nouncement was made that she would return to' deliver the lectute Sunday afternoon at a ho-tr to be announced later. The opening number of the chautau qual Monday afternoon was a concert by the Sibyl Sainmis singers and Miss Mary Cameron, pianist. This talented company preceded the lecture the same evening and in both concerts scored a lilt with the audience. Miss Cameron was a strong favorite both in the afternoon and evening. The evening lecture was by .Dr. fit. E. Rom pel, who chose as his subject "Facing the Task". Reciting touching experl ences with boys of the Great Lakes Training School, where he was a worker during fihe war, and giving his observntions of boys in various stages of life, he made a strong ap peal for- tile encouragement and lead ership of the youth of tile land as a foundation for the citizenship of the fuiture. Weather conditions last night were uncertikn, but tile management han promised that if the aildences reacil the tent they will be made as comfort able as possible. The tent is a new one and sheds water. With drainage around the tent perfected it is hoped that tile inside will be dry. The program for the rest of the sea son has already been published and is familiar to the public. The stellar attractions of the series, including the concert by Louise Stallings tonight, tile rendition of "Pinafore" Friday night and the comedy "Nothing Bitt the Truth" Saturday night are yet to come. The attractions between these are not mediocre by any means and all are well worth attending. The lee tlure series this year is said to be un usually strong. Tie sale of season tickets this year broke al records, over $:,001 being placed in tie treasiry befor" the opening Iight. Of this smil the local association secures a landsome propor-ticn.

The Korean mutang, or anudang, Is a sore'eress who is considrolo'rd the low est of the low In the social system. Though generally married, she is al ways inl abandonil character pretend lug to be a sort of spiritual medium, able by her friendship with the spirits to Influence thein as she may wish. The ceremony perlorimed by a nuitang, without which her services are of no avail, Is called a "kut," there being tenll different forms of services that cal be performed by ieans of i kut. The service nost in deiatnd Is that of driving away tle "hungry" spirits of disease. These spirits come around the door whena heoople are enating, an11d If they 1are not throwi a atuorsel of food they will hold iR grievance agninast the di ners.

She screais out the name of the spirit that has come, tells what must be done to cure the patient, until at last the spirit prom ises to take away the disease. The food provided for the spirit is then eaten with great gusto by the Rmutang and the friends of the sick m1an. The mlitaling has a lot of influence.

When They Stop to Look at Him Of course they'll admire him-.-you take that is a matter of course. Isn't every healthy, happy baby the object of comment and praise wherever he goes? And furthermore, isn't this particular baby just a little bit handsomer and more adorable than any other baby in existence. Of course. Then be sure that you provide him with a carriage to set'off his beauty and make him show to even greater advantage.
