Her next initiation was OF a scene

Miss Mignon Coursen Stars in a Young
Ladies' Orchestra
Miss Mignon Coursen, the young
violinist who has come so prominently
before the musical public this year in
connection with Schuman's Ladies' or
chestra, is only IL years old. Her first
music lessons were received in an old
fashioned singing school when she was
z years of age, and her progress was
so rapid that before the end of the
term she was able to sing the soprano
or alto in any of the pieces in the
Choral Union" Here she laid the
necessary foundation in sight reading
and ear training. Her first instrument
was a present ten years ago. and she
has given her time to the violin ever
since, beginning with an hour day
practice, which she has increased to
five hours day. She studied two years
under her father, who is musician,
and much Of her success is due to his
watchfulness. She entered Dana's
Musical institute, and studied five years
under Carl Udsen of Copenhagen, and

The kicks and punches that are ex-
changed in the Zine up" in the ex-
citement of a hot game are almost as
deadly as the sword thrusts and spear
punches that used to rattle on the
brass breastplates OF the warriors OF
old. So the football player, needing an
armor, went to work and devised one.
II isn't brass; It isn't steel: but 1t serves
its purpose as well as If it were made
Of either OF those materials, and with
the approach of the ''rah, rah, rah'
season of the year when football is the
fashion the dealers who deal in football
materials are getting their armor to
the front.
The most striking feature of the foot
ball equipment is the head harness"
II is the result of an evolution. First
came the rubber mouthpiece, which
gave the excitable player something to
bite and clinch his teeth upon to save
his tongue and the breaking of his
molars by the shock of being suddenly
"downed.' Then the nose mask was
designed to protect nasal bone al
ready fractured from further injury.
Now 1t is to come into general use as
preventive of first injury.
Then came the padded guards for the
ears. which seemed to suffer a good
deal in the rushes. But previous to this
shin protectors made of canvas and
whalebone had been added to the
quilted canvas knickerbockers (now
adopted by baseball tossers) and the
tightly laced canvas jacket.
For the protection of the abdomen
an ingenious arrangement of wire. cot
ton and channels skin was produced to
fill long-felt want, and a ready sale
was found for elastic caps and support
ers for shoulders. elbows. forearms,
knee-caps, ankles and wrists. An as
piring athlete clad In all of these ex-
traneous adjuncts to the football play
er's outfit would be safe from injury by
anything short of railroad collision.
The nose-masks have been worn more
numerously each season. The elabor-
ate headgear will be greatly in evil
dence during this season. 1t is made of
