But he was obviously anxious to be done with the program last Sunday in order to be off on a fishing trip. This critic arrived before 4:30 o'clock, to find him finishing his second number, and during his entire program felt his impatience of delays between groups, and even of the audience itself. No encores were given, although · the applause was more than convincing. BaH the charm of such an afternoon is in leisurely making one's way through a program given by an artist who is friendly and generous. It is a pity Mr. Preston could not have found a later train out of the city. Perfect Proaram Mr. Preston's program was well nigh Have you ever tasted Bowman's milk? perfect.

They started out from the Evanston shore and made their way northward to Sturgeon Bay, Green Bay and over to Mackinac Island, then Sh~boygan, Wis., and across Lake Huron. Up St. Mary's river into Canada they continued for some mites before turning their course on the homeward journey. They came down the east shore of Lake Michigan to Michigan City and straight across from there to Evanston. The trip took four and one-half weeks. The weather gave them a calm trip north and a stormy journey home. Kaehler's Dunph.r_ with an Elto-quad motor covered the course at an average of fifteen miles an hour. Mrs. H. L. Barker and her family of 1765 Washington avenue have returned from a trip to Los Angeles and San Diego. Order from the courteous Bowman milkman who passes your door.
