This evening in Spartanburg the
opening numbers of the South Atlantic
music festival will take place, a year
ly .'event attracting much attention
from the music loving public of many
dates. In Asheville this year, aa pn
previous years, this event Is the center
of much interest, and numbers of
Asheville ladlea. are planning to go
down for the festival. In the last few
masons it hna been wild that the week
of grand opera in Atlanta each season
at this time has in a way interfered
with the large ottendance from Ashe
ville at the Spartanburg festival, but
this Is only In a measure true, as the
number who take interest in these
events has grown to a most apprecia
ble extent, and while the number in
a way divides, part going to Atlanta
and part to Spartanburg, the repre
sentation' in each city is in Itself a
tribute to the musical cultivation of
the city of ; Asheville . Mr W. B.
Meacham returned to her home on the
Ottarl road yesterday from Atlanta,
where she attended the grand opera,
and report the week, successful and
enjoyable, the great Caruso delighting
his .enthusiastic- audiences by, appear
ing as many as three times during his
stay. Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Field have
also returned; Mrs. Field, who is: one
of the most musically Interested ladies
in Asheville, reporting such musical
treats offered by Atlanta that she feels
It to be a rare opportunity. Dr. and
Mrs. Henry Harrison Brlggs, who mo
tored down for the event, have re
turned. Mr C. A. Raysor and Miss
Nan Bailey who were of the Asheville
attendance, have returned and among
all of these guests the consensus of
opinion Is strongly in favor of the
yearly week of grand opera in this
southern n metropolis. Among the
prominent musicians who will go to
Spartanburg for the approaching fes
tival from .Asheville will be Mrs. O. C.
Hamilton, noted for her', wonderful
voice; Mrs. William LeRoy Dunn, who
will probably be the guest, as Bhe Is
each year, of her brother, Hon. Jo
Beph Mansfield of that city; Mrs. H,
Taylor Rogers of Asheville and her
Bister, Mrs. Eaverson of Philadelphia.
Mrs. D. A; Baker of WaynesVllle will
also attend the festival and will be the
guest while In Spartanburg of Mrs. W.
J. Keller of that place. This festival

Summer Material.
White has an ever Increasing vogue
for summer, and there is a greater
choice than ever In materials. In the
new sponge fabrics there are the cot
ton and new silk weaves. Some of
the silks have -a tiny figure printed
In colors, and these may be also used
to trim other white materials advan
tageously. Then there are the heavy white silk
tissue very supple, that have cordu
roy weave and also make splendid
tailor made suits. " There Is a velours
du cotton material used, but this is
far from being like the cotton vel
vets, for It Is quite different having
a sort of silk reflection.
In the lighter materials thqre are
Interesting novelties; for instance, the
new crepe that Is accordion pleated
In the weave and does not unnleat
even when laundered. There are
white voiles that have uneven threads
.which give a pretty texture, snd of
ten the very heavy and thickened
threads are In different tones. The
bordered white vloles show bands of
these different contrasting . weaves,
white or in color.

Houston, Texas. In an Interesting

ton writes as follows: "I think It Ib
my duty to write and tell you what
your medicine, Cardui, the woman's
tonic has done, for me.
; It has done me all the good In the
world.
I was down sick with womanly
trouble, and my mother advised sev
eral different treatments, but they
didn't seem to do me any good. I
lingered along for three or four
months, and for three weeks, I was in
bed, so sick I couldn't bear for any
one to walk across the Hoor.
My husband advised me to try Car
dui, the woman's tonic. I have taken
two bottles of Cardui, am feeling fine,
gained IS pounds and do all of my
housework. My friends hardly know
me, I look so well."
If you. suffer from any of the all

Begin taking Cardui today. It is
purely vegetable, its ingredients acting

It will help you, too.
