ABOUT SCALE TESTING


Instructive Suggestions For Youthful Per-
formers on the Piano Forte.
An excellent test for cvcrness in scales
Is to play them over rs softly as you pos
sibly can. TO realize what 1 wish to
convey, writes Ernst Doppler for The
Keyboard, try 20 imagine that some ono
is lyins Ill in the next room and you arc
fearful OF disturbing them, but feel Gas
indeed ell earnest students do feel) that
you must have some daily practice. how
ever little, just to keep your digits in
working order.
BY thus playing scales very softly you
will certainly lnd (unloss very accom-
plishcd in techniquc) the thumb bump
ing somewhere, and the third finger pro-
ducing bat weak sound from its key.
Since TO know where weakness exists
is long way toward remedying it,
need not write any more to the intelli-
gent student on this score.
In this excellent method of scale test
ing, play very slowly as well as softly
at first. A little increase of pace may be
made later if desired, but if the scales bo
played really quickly it is difficult to dis
tinguish the faulty notes.
You viii, of course, understand that
each hand must play its scales separate
ly. To try this experiment with both
hands together is simply to waste time
and effort.
Tho scale of p five sharps) is dn the
right hand, at any rate) the easiest on tho
piano, from its being naturally adapted
to the formation of the hand and for
ease in thumb passing, so the student may
well begin his scale testing with this.
Afterward he may take E, A, ID flat, A
fat, Z fat. Il fat. r, G., ID (this is diff
cult scale for the left hand), and G. fat
Of sharp)-major1, of course. A good
scale for the left hand to begin with is ID
fiat. G is the most difficult in both
hands to play with perfect evenness and
should therefore be left by the tyro until
the last, or at any rate until late in the
series, but experienced players may start
upon this at the outset.
Much benefit to ones playing general
ly is certain to result from this search
ing analytical test of scale technique.

The desk is formed by movable flap

cry fittings are of cedar. 1t is fitted at
the sides with brass handles. by which it
can be moved about if desired, and the

is inlaid with various kinds of wood, the

the plain linens, in the tan and
dull blue and eeru shades. are often
made up with satin trimmings.
For the all-round suit the material is
| fine serge or sacking, and the color
oftenest dark blue or white. The linen
shirt waist comes into play very often.
In fact, one sees almost as much Of the
linen as of the softer shirts in silk and
cotton materials. Perhaps it Is because
they are SO much prettier and more
fanciful this year. They are striped in
pale, pretty colors-white and laven-
der, white and pink, with the stripes
separated by narrow, open hemstitch-
ing. They are trimmed with pretty
little frills and with ruffies down the
front; and the linen is often fecked
with a tiny design that takes away
from its somewhat hard and shining
effect.
A white serge suit that stepped on q
pretty launch the other day was worn
with one of these lavender and white
striped waists. The lavender linen
cuffs peeped out from the white sleeve.
A small straight white tie tipped the
whole
A dark blue had single roll of white
above the skirts hem, a white silk
waist, and rows of white braid on the
revers of the jacket. A touch OF spot
less white on very dark blue is most
effective.
\ plain dark skirt, of red or black,
is often worn with vari-colored Jackets
and fronts One of these jackets is a
white Elton. with tight fitting scarlet
vest inside, double breasted and
trimmed with gold buttons. It turns
back from white linen front. The
Jacket is trimmed with rows of fine
gold braid Another is OF dark blue,
and is made with loose round collar,
that falls far over the shoulders. and is
edged with a single row OF gold braid.
It has tight fitting vest inside. of
white serge. turning back from the
white linen front beneath.
The red, white and blue combination
is used a great deal and there IS end
less variety in the combining of the
colors- A skirt may be either blue or
white-it IS rarely scarlet-and the
other two colors come outin the jacket,
or shirt. or trimming. With such com
binations are worn the outing capcs Of
the same bright shades, triple capes,
of course. one of each shade. and all, as
a rule, lined with white silk. They
have a ruche of white also, and are
knotted with big cords

and with the peculiar strap arrange
ment beneath. passing from front

crossing over the chest, crossing again

Once upon time the summer girl
had dress for travelling, one for out

suit that viii answer several of these
functions. and 10 one be the wiser for

and span and suitable?-fne dark blue

several rows of stitching; above the
hem is broad red band. upon which
are laid several rows of white braid. so
that the white and red alternate even
". The waist is white China silk,
made loosely; and falling from the
finely plated collar is loose bib. The
short dark blue jacket turns back in
revers that are faced in scarlet, with
the white braid again alternating.
Above the deep hem of the cuff is
the same trimming which is charm
ing in it's neatness and brightness.
In outing gowns as in all others
white and cream are the favorite
shades The materials are plenteous--
white linen, duck, linen sacking, serge,
hop sacking. fannels and few others.
The linens have q more limited field
than tho wooden fabrics, but this has
not decreased their popularity. They
are so delightfully."- cool that there is at
least one in svery summer wardrobe.
These are, for the most part, OF pure
white ground, lightly striped in pink
or blue, trimmed with braids, and
worn with the thin silk blouse or shirt
waist. Some of the more extravagant
ones have much lace on the bodices,
The beauty of these gowns is the fact
that they launder SO perfectly.

however. at all pretty
But there is one place where the out
ing suit is rarely seen-upon bicycle.
Once in awhile. however.we see it even
therefor we are beginning to find out
that, after all. the bicycle does not re-
quire so extraordinary suit There
have been articles galore written upon
the subject of bicycle skirts shape.
Each writer has her own opinion, based
mainly upon extensive theories as to
the relative action of wind and motion
upon the garment. The skirt must
counteract the influence of a strong
breeze that may blow. must still be
light and cool enough for summer. and
withal must be graceful And the
writer feels that she has grave task
before her, and treats the subject with
becoming thoughtfulness- Said writer
has, possibly. never mounted the way
ward wheel. but this makes her brain
still more fertile in devising wonderful
garments that shall answer every pur-
pose.
And, after trying them. the sensible
girl comes to the conclusion that the
long, gathered skirt, rather full, turned
up in deep hem, is the most satisfac-
tory skirt to wear.
AS have said, once in awhile an Or
binary outing skirt rides a wheel. For
the fashionable skirt is almost full
enough to hang gracefully. and just
the proper length. The only thing that
may debar it is its color. which may
not be sufficiently subdued: or, posi-
bly,. trimming which may appear on
the outing skirt. For the bicycle skirt
must be absolutely plain, with nothing
to catch anywhere. In q full skirt,
there is no necessity for an extra
weight-a good, deep hem will be SUI
fcient to keep it down.
For q long time blue and black were
the colors worn. Now we have taken
to dust color, for it is particularly
quiet, blends admira bly, with the wheel,
and, in case Of accident or shower,
shows no dust or specks of mud.
No skirts should be worn beneath.s
Full trousers OF the same material are
