One of the prettiest trimmings for
skirt front is a ruche on the lower edge
of the material, silk or ribbon. If of
the dress material, or silk cut the strips
bias, pink both edges and lay in triple
plaits, which require five times the
length of the space to be covered, stitch
ing them in the center. This trims the
foot of the front and sides. and gives
the graceful full look desired at the
foot of the plainest skirts. If the ruehe
is made of ribbon, two or three widths
are taken, each half an inch narrower
than the bottom one, laid on each other
and gathered along the center to form
the frou-frou ruche. When the ribbons
are of the different shades of the dress
the effect is charming The outside
material for skirts is now cut but three
yards wide, one half of this forming
the fat front and sides, which are
slightly broken" by few plaits at
the belt on either side of the center
front, which are laid to slant down
wards The remainder forms the fam
plated back, which is stylishly con-
fined in narrow space. Plaid and
striped skirts are made in this STYLE.

sing In answer 70 any sound wnere a
number of them hang together on the
wall, as If rehearsing the old music
that once they knew. 1t was doubtless
owing to this fact that when the people
could not account for Paganini's won
derful playing, they declared that he
had human soul imprisoned In his
violin, for his violin sang and whispered
even when all the strings were off,
There have been experiments made
with all sorts of wood by the various
makers An earl of Pembroke had one
made of the wood Of the cedars of
Lebanon, but tho wood was so dense as
to deaden vibration, and it proved dis
appointing.
Antonio Stradivarius was the king of
all the violin-makers. He worked till
he was 90 years old, and only after he
was 80 did he make his best, the grand
ones whose price Is almost fabulous.
He sold each of his violins for four
pieces of gold, and as his needs were
very few, he spent but little, and the
people used to say ''as rich as Stradi-
variua" He was called Antonio the
Lute-maker-a tall, thin, brown man,
with eyes that listened, wearing always
. white leather apron and white cot
ton cap. The violins of his master,
Nicolas Amati, command a great
price still, but nothing like that which
people are glad to pay for Stradi-
varius; and those, and some made by
Joseph Guarnerius. the grandson of
AndreaS, who worked at the same
bench with him when he was an ap-
prentice, are the only rivals of the
great makers work.
These GuarnOrius violins are Of high
finish, fine temper, and great strength,
and it has been said that their fourth
string Ii often as rich as trumpet"
They are all marked with an !. II. s.,
and the maker is often known as
Giuseppe del Jesu than as Joseph
Guarnerius. Some instruments that he
made in person from refuse wood fur
nished him by the iailer's daughter have
allowed great many poor instruments
to be forged and accredited to him.
His best will sell for a thousand dol
lars and upward easily; but the best of
Stradivarius will sell for five thousand
dollars, and have even brought more.
A Mr.. Neville, an aide-de-camp to Gen
Lafayette in our revolution, once gave
fifteen hundred acres of land for a
Stradivarius; It is perhaps the greatest
price ever paid for fiddle, for the city
of Pittsburgh now stands, it is said,
upon those acres. - Harriet Prescott

RARE OLD WoLiNs.

Instruments Made BY the Celebrated
Masters OF Old
That there have been great masters
IA tho art Of making violins is a. true
e. that there have been great masters
In the art of writing music to be played
on violinA
Before the time of these great mas
ters the violin was poor tool, compar-
atively speaking, Of great ambitions
one might say, of very romantic ASSOC
Citations. and of long descent but Of
very limited capacity. All at once some
Italians began to improve II, and then
the Amati. Stradivarius, the Guarnerius
family and the Stainers put their genius
to work and it leaped suddenly into
perfection; and no one has been able to
make violin since that could approach
its excellence at that time.
Something Of the same sort is true In
many other phases Of the growth Of art
light springing all at onOe out Of COM
parative NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. touching
perfection once for all. II was SO in
Greek art; 1t was so in Italian art; 1t
was so in Elizabethan literature; it was
so In the building of the violin. People
acquainted with the subject can tell
who male this or that violin, as people
can tell who wrote letter by the hand
writing; long curve or a short one, a
deep groove or q shallow one, a bold
scroll or q timid one, a high table or a
hat one. q purple varnish or golden
one. the shape and slope of the long
! sound holes-an these tell whose hand
1t was that shaped the special instru-
ment until to look at it was almost to
hear music.
The great violin-malIers, all of whom
lived within the compass of hundred
and fifty years, were, in the first place,
| particular about the wood they used.
That was rare which exactly suited
them. They chose it from the few
| great timbers felled in the South Tyrol
and floated down in rafts-pine and
maple, sycamore and pear and ash.
They examined these to find streaks
and veins and freckles, valuable SUPER
ficially when brought out hy varnish-
ing. They learned to tell the density
of the pieces of wood by touching; they
weighed them; they struck them, and
listened to judge how fast or how slow
or how resonantly they would vibrate
in answer to strings. Some portions of
the wood must be porous aud soft;
some of close fiber. just the right
beam was hard to find; when 1t was
| found, it can be traced all through the
violins of some great master, and after
his death in those of his pupils.
The piece of wood when to their mind
was taken home and seasoned, dried in
the hot Brescia and Cremona sun. The
house of Stradivarius, the great master
| of all, is described as having been as
hot as an oven, one being soaked
through and through with sunshine
there. In this great heat the oils
| thinned and simmered slowly and PEN
etrated far into the wood, and the var
nishes became part of the wood tt
self. They used to save every particle
of the wood, when they had found at last
what they liked, to mend and patch and
inlay with it So vibrant and so reason
