Not a Mere
Novelty for
Pleasure and Fun
The Victor is a musical instrument
like a' piano. More than a piano; it
is an orchestra if you want it; band if
you want it; piano if you want it; voice
if you want it, and it plays itself. It
brings the talent of the great singers,
players, orchestras, entertainers of
every sort right to your home. You
could not get the originals even for a
single performance for less than $100,-
OQO if you get them at all. You can
get <them with the Victor whenever
you want them and as long as you
want them for v .a few dollars payable
by the week.
Come. Get one.

THE 8HONTB’ SUMMER PLANS.
Mrs. Shonte, whose health has not
been of the best dtuing: the past winter,
says The Washington Post, accompa
nied by the Misses- Shonts, sailed yes
terday for Europci going direct to
Paris, where Mrs. Mhonts hopes to re
gain her health at the hands of one
of the great Frencll specialists. Al
though an almost constant sufferer
during during the winter, Mrs. Shonts
and her daughters enjoyed a wide
popularity In social circles, the girls
being particularly interesting and un
affected young woman.
Having spent the greater part of
their lives abroad, they are both ac
complished linguists,, tills special gift,
winning them great popularity among
the foreign contingent In Washington.
A generous hospitality marked their
residence, one of tlio smartest enter
tainments of the particularly gay eea-
ion being the cotillion glv|en' by Mrs.
Shonts for her daughters • during the
holidays. •
Dinners and luncheons, with many
gay little after-tho-theotcr suppers,
marked the couree of the whiter, while
their Friday afternoons at home, when
not Infrequently a musical program of
merit was an additional attraction,
were always events of considerable
loclal Importance.
Mr. Shonts’ resignation from tho
chairmanship of the Isthmian Canal
Commission and his taking up n busi
ness career at New York will re
move the family permanently from
Washington, although both Mrs. Shonts
and her (laughters expect to make fre
quent visits to the city during tho so
cial season.
If present plans ore followed, Mrs.
Shonts and her daughters, after spend
ing some time at Paris, will go over to
London for the season, all being partic
ularly Interested in the International
Horse Show. Lato In August the trav
elers will rejoin Mr. Shonts at Now
York, the girls expecting to spend some
time with friends at Newport and Tux
edo. Early In December Mr. and Mrs.
Shonts expect to take a house In New
York for the winter.

phases of physical and mental development. The Interesting addresses of
Mrs. Felton and Mrs. PattiUo wore received with the most cordial indorse

were accorded tho most sympathetic Interest by their hearers.
Dr. French's appeal for a removal of the Sunday school from church
basements to brighter and more attractive environment met with the
thorough \ipproval of his audience. To many persons in hearty sympathy
with Sunday schools, the memories of childhood carry them back to gray,
cheerless, unattractive basement rooms, where Sunday school exercises
were wont to bo held. One of the greatest needs of modern churches Is
better, sunnier and more attractive rooms for Sunday school work.

FORTUNE TELLER FAILED
TOREADHER OWN FUTURE
If Mrs. Rosa Small were half the
fortune teller ahe Bays sha Is, she would
have folded her tent like the well-
known Arab and stolen away before the
Jack turned from the bottom. For the
cards certainly did run wrong for her
this week.
Mrs. Rosa Is French, so she says, and
certainly she ought to know. She was
dealing out all aorta of good luck to tho
negroos In a Central avenue resort, and
predicting anything from fried chick
en to a government Job, according to
the price. But she overlooked a bet.
If sho had done a solitaire stunt last
Tuesday and searched the cards for her
own fortune, sho would have seen ap-
reaching In the distance a small
londe man, who was destined to
cross her path. It sho had peeked a
bit further beyond the veil of mys«
tery sho would havo seen Jedge Belles
a-settln’ on his bench, while In the
background loomed the gates of the
city stockade. But what’s tho use! She
knows all these things now, from the
Inside.
For Mrs. Small was haled before thw
recorder and fined 126.75 or thirty days.
It being held that In telling fortunes
without a license she was cutting In on ,
the city’s revenues. Fortuno telling!
hadn’t been profitable In the season oft
1907, and the soothsayer could not cross
the Judge's hand with anything like the .
sum demanded. So now she Is In the
stockade and her little doughtrr Is in I
the Home for the Friendless until heH
mother Is free again. Harry Smnll, thaq
husband of the wise woman, was die*'
missed by the recorder.
