Musical Items.

A late invention is an aluminium fin
ger board fretted, lettered and bearing
position numbers. It is designed to aid
students of the violin in acquiring ac-
curate lingering.
Do not let pupils keep up a clicking
of nails on the piano keys. Keep the
nails short, but give scales and easy
studies for the express purpose of feeling
the contact of the finger with its key on
the ball or tip of the finger somewhat
back from the nail Make speciality of
feeling the place of finger contact, play
ing only for this feeling.
Scales can be taught the latter part
of the first term of lessons to the aver
age pupil, but there needs to be prepare
ton for them in a separate drill of the
thumb in passing under the hand and
of the third and fourth fingers in pass
ing over the thumb. 1t is also well that
the pupil should first feel need of
knowing how to play a run.

It is excellent discipline to practice
technical finger work in such positions
as require the thumb to play black
keys, but in playing everything should
be done in the easiest possible manner.
The pushing Of the forearm forward and
backward, as is necessary to get the
thumb over the black keys, is an exer-
tion and should be avoided unless some-
thing is gained that is of commensurate
value. When such q gain is possible, no

change in the arrangement of the SASH
The former long loops are now short
bows, with the long ends falling to the
lower edge of the skirt. The sash gives
such thoroughly feminine and youth
full finish to the costume that it is sure
to be received with pleasure.
One of the ARREST caprices of fashion
Is en- enormous tulle cravat forming
large bow, tied directly under the chin,
which looks like big delusive butter
fly. The latest fad Of ribbon cravat is
made of several yards of ribbon, quite
narrow, which is used up in loops and
two long ends nearly reaching to the
feet Ruches are very much worn also
about the neck of gowns, spangled black
tulle being the favorite now in Paris,
although one can form them out of any
of the lovely thin stuffs that are SO
plentiful Black velvet belts are in
vogue too.
A smart costume designed for q young
widow in the last stages Of mourning
and described in the New York Sun is
made of white silk muslin with the
tiniest of black dots, black lace appli-
cation in large bowknot design on the
A1OA1 Va CAO d SlItt1iCI OAC Cl LILO
waist. 1t is all accordion plated and
made over a white peau de sole, the
wrinkled belt and collar Of soft white
and black silk. The large picture hat
worn with this lovely gown is lace
foundation trimmed with knife plated
black silk null and soft white silk
folded about the crown, black tulle
plated and standing up straight, giving
chic finish to the filmy structure It
looks so cool and such relief after the
heavy black. Another extremely strik-
ing gown for the same person was made
with the skirt of gray and black silk
pekin, stylish double breasted coat of
black satin, the, pointed basque cut
away in front and fastened with large
jet buttons. It had huge revers, covered
up with the cravat of white silk muslin,
elbow puffs of black satin, long gray
suede gloves and gray chip hat with

The Newest Fans.

There is an endless variety of fans,
and many women have a fan for each
gown. Quito the latest thing is an imi-
tation of some old French fans. a Pc
culiarity of these fans is the long sticks
and narrow top.
Many of the fans are profusely span
gled with gold and silver in every i'm
aginable design. Spangles are also often
used on the small French fans.
Ostrich feather fans are still fashion
able, both the open ones, made of a
bunch of long plumes, and those that
close, made of separate feathers. Carved
and inlaid sticks of pearl and tortoise
shell are preferred with these, as also
with the elegant white and black
duchess lace fans. The latest of these
lace fans have some NEUROLOGICAL scene
painted in the center, the lace forming
the rest of the fan.

Among the novelties are jackets of
thick black mohair lined with white
satin and trimmed with white guipure
insertions laid upon white satin ribbon.
The chiffon waists worn in the even
ing are charming when of light colors
and made very full over silk lining.
Sometimes they are striped with inser-
tons of valenciennes or of guipure
passing around or lengthwise, as is most
becoming to the wearer.
Square and diamond shaped buckles
are newer than the oval buckles used
last year and are worn rather small,
since narrower belts are in vogue
The tandem bicycle, which is all the
rage in Paris, is to be seen in New
York. The woman sits in front, while
the man, at the back, does most of the
work.
Round waists are worn more than
basques, and sleeves of very thin ma
terial are made extremely full and pulled
lengthwise at the top with very pretty
effect.

the size of tho wooden framew ork,
which you can enamel with any color,
either to contrast or harmonic with
the bag.
The bag is lined and can be adjusted
in two ways. If you always wish it to
lie open, make a runner in the bag, and
stretching the tape Or cord you place in
it tightly across secure it with nails to
the woodwork. If, on the other hand,
you wish the bag to close, and this to
be without folding the stool, you must
make the bag much deeper, and by plac-
ing a second runner within about five
inches of the top you will be able to
draw it up easily, says The Housewife.

KAISER s COURT AGOG.
An Anonymous Letter Writer
Assails Regulations.
SLY SANDERS AND INNUENDOEs.

Mysterious BIissives That Have B1ighted
the Aspirations and Disturbed the Peace
of Diplomatists, Statesmen, Soldiers and
Court Beauties.
Berlin was startled some few weeks ago
ON hearing that the kaiser's chief master
of ceremonies Baron Won KotZe, had been
placed under arrest in the military prison
in Lindenstrasse. The local papers hint
ed at it mysteriously, with fragmentary
and garbled reports. 1t was the chief topic
for discussion in hotels, cafes and on street
corners. Indiscriminate giggling followed
the mere mention of KotZe's name, and
the very air became pregnant with scan
dal.
There are several women in it, of course
fine ladies, with high shoes and gold
laced CATERS. How do know this? asks
the Berlin correspondent of the New York
Journal. 1t is an open secret now, and
much more which may not be mentioned
here.
Herr Baron Won Kotze is captain in the
kaiser's guard and chief master of ceremo-
mics in William IS household. He is scion
of an old family and man of command
ing presence. For more than eight months
past high gentlemen and noble ladies in
the Immediate encourage of the emperor
have received anonymous letters almost
daily in prose and verse, 1nt1mat1ng GER
tain charges against some one nearest and
dearest to the recipient.
Thus one letter said that the Prince of
R, one of the foremost mobiles and fast
friend of the emperor, had divulged Sc
cret talk with his royal master. Another
letter, this time sent to Count x, in
fippant language made shocking charges
against his beautiful wife. A walk in the
Grunewald was tortured into a love affair
with Baron Z, a strapping colonel in
the Guard Uhlans. Countess Won y
was told in a scandalous letter that her
husband had clinked glasses in private
with Baroness j, a beauty at court
and lady in waiting On her majesty.
Count Z, it also basely charged, had
lavished affection on a pretty Holstein
chambermaid, instead of carrying home
his love. So the letters went on, libeling,
scandalizing, setting good people by the
ears.
All sorts of charges and insinuations
continued to arrive daily for members of
the emperor's immediate circle. 1t was

Peach Shortcake.

Mix together pint of -four, one-half
teaspoonful of salt and teaspoonfuls of
baking powder, rub in one-fourth cup
full of butter and mix to soft dough
with sweet milk. Divide into two parts,
pat out one-half, put in a buttered,
shallow pan; butter the top, pat out the
other half and lay ON the top. This will
make the cake split open readily. When
done, split open and fill with peaches
mashed or chopped fine Put them On
the top of the cake also and pour over
the whole whipped sweetened cream.
