. GAY "PINAFORE"
ALWAYS DELIGHTS
Central High Students Revive
Comic Opera For Three Per
formances This Week
All Harrisburg is eagerly awaiting
the production of "Pinafore" this
■week by the graduating class of Cen
tral High School. Not for years has
there been such widespread Interest
in any event given by students. "The
reason is at your elbow. "Pinafore"
always delights an audience. It ap
peals not only to the parents and
friends of the graduates who are
especially interested in this particular
production, but It pleases those who
are fond of bright, witty plays, and it
charms all those who love music—
both the skilled musicians and those
who have no musical training what
ever. Musio and words have seldom
been better wedded than In this comic
opera by Gilbert and Sullivan. The
text, by W. S. Gilbert, sparkles with
keen satire, but the satire is always
playful—never bitter. The music by
the famous Sir. Arthur Sullivan, is
truly fascinating. In fact, the real
fame of this great composer feats to
day upon his comic operas, of which
"Pinafore" was the first. Gilbert and
Sullivan were pioneers In producing
this totally new kind of comic opera.
The Initial performance of "H. M. S.
Pinafore" was In the Opera Comique,
London. May 28, 1878. Later In the
same year tt was given in New York
City, and In Boston in 1879. Its suc
cess was pnenomenal. In London it
was performed by two companies si
multaneously for seven hundred con
secutive nights. In New York It was
: played at four different theaters for
months during the same season. Its
real hold on the public was again
demonstrated when It was success
fully revived In 1311 and in 1912 In
New York.
Students Revive Opera
Muslclovers of Harrisburg feel
grateful that the Central High School
.graduates are now reviving this
graceful opera in our city. It Is a
line opportunity for our people to see
on the stage the brightly-colored, at
tractive setting for their favorite rec
ords, the gems from' "H. M. S. Pina
fore."; and to hear the entire music
of this tuneful opera. Harrisburg
has become such a music loving center
:that its people realize that they can
not well afford to miss this opportu
nity. Long, careful training unaer
I the supervision of Principal H. G. Dib
ible assures the audience of a finished
iproduction. Accordingly, it will be
a real pleasure for Harrisburg to hear
this bright and clever opera. "H. M. S.
Pinafore," or "The Lass That Loved
a Sailor."

t SHOPPING IN JUNE
Thoughts For the Sweet Girl
Graduate and the June Bride
THE BIRD MOTIF FOIt THE RltlDE
Particularly charming for the bride's
bedroom is a novel decoration offered
by the Blake Shop, 225 North Second
street. A paper of some delicate sott
tone to harmonize with the furnish
ings Is used with a dainty floral bor
der, below which a graceful bird,
yellow-winged, with a touch of rose
at his throat, makes a novel and de
lightfully cheery decoration. With
hangings of soft yellow tone bordered
in roses, and one of Blake's lovely
Scotch wool rugs In rose tone with
stencil border, the bride can achieve
at small expense a bedroom of rare
charm and distinction. This lovely
decorative motif may be had in other
delightful color combinations.
AMDKR.COLORKU ICED TEA
The depression caused by a seem
ingly unending succession of muggy,
sultry days will be quickly dispelled
if the clever homemaker prepares for
her family a pitcher of the delicious
amber-colored iced tea, specially
blended and sold by the Grand Union
Tea Company, 208 North Second street,
for iced tea for hot weather. The
lovely amber color of this tea is as
pleasant to the eye as the delicious
flavor is satisfying to the palate, and
a pitcher of this refreshing Iced drink
is better than a tonic for "the tired
businessman." It is very inexpensive,
too, and whether or not hot beverages
are offered at mealtime, a pitcher of
iced tea should always be on the table
during the summer months.
A SPECIAL IN FOOTWEAR
' Styles that are strikingly new and
smart with the rare finish and dis

Wartime Commencement
State. College, Pa., June 12. —Pres
ence of khaki-clad students and the
absence because of enlistments
and training camps— of noarly half
of the 388 who received degrees
made the fifty-seventh commence
ment at the Pennsylvania State Col
lege yesterday distinctly a wartime
function.
A new note of seriousness pervad
ed the exercises. The merriment
which in the past has formed a part
of the day's program was lacking,
because the festivities were shorn of
their frivolous trappings, There was
little ostentation, and tho program
was modified.
Presenting their candidates for
recognition, the deans of the various
schools recited the achievements of
State College men and women who
were unable to be present to receive
their degrees, and complimented the
entire graduating class on its patriot
ism. Diplomas will be forwarded
to graduates who were too busy in
camps and on farms to come here
for them.

THE GIFT OF PEARLS
In poetry and Action, as well as in
real life, the gift of a string of pearls
has always been the symbol of gener
our remembrance, and pearls are gifts
that unfailingly delight both brides ancf
graduates. At Jacob Tausig's Sons,
420 Market street, there are lustrous,
exquisite pearls of various sizes, In
cluding the lovely "I,a Tausca" (In
destructible pearls) which are priced
from $1.50 to $lO. Their daintiness,
simplicity and beauty make them
especially appropriate for the fair
young graduate, and the prices are
low enough to come within the range
of every purse.

that the well-dressed girl can desire.
Especially lovely are the soft Shet
land wool sweaters with wide white
Angora collars which are priced at
$5.98 and $6.98, which is less than the
cost of wool and angora for knitting
a sweater, while these lovely sweaters
are exquisitely finished and have a
smartness of style that the sweater
hand-knitted or crocheted by an ama
teur rarely attains. All the desirable
colors may be had at these popular
prices.
