while Italian music readily lends itself to
dancing and the interruption of the ballet
the spirit of German music and of the per-
formance of German opera is opposed to It.
These reflections suggested themselves to
me at the Metropolitan Opera House the
other night L watched the dancers in
gauZe and fieshings pirouette on their great
toes to the absolute indifference of the
great audience The new woman is another
factor in the decadence of the ballet of all
illusions and she is apt to think the gyra-
tions silly and the dancers unbeautiful.
Again. the popularity of comic opera, with
its hosts of chorus girls, who are not train
ed coryphees, but .who sing better and look
much prettier. has had its influence. We
live in world OF change.

a Christmas present to the woman who is
the party of the second part in this story.
The price, 4S cents, was plainly marked on
the bottom of the box the spoon was in,
so she just made the figure in front of 1t.
for, she said to herself, IS cents was a
ridiculously low price to pay for it any
way. She was charmed with her little de-
ceit till Christmas day arrived, and among
here presents was a little box from the
woman she had sent the spoon to. She
opened it, There lay an exactly similar
spoon. She looked at the bottom of the
box. The other woman had been shopping,
too, for there on the box was the ascent
mark, with one in front of it.
They have not met since Christmas and
they really don't care whether they ever
meet again.

Miscellaneous Notes.

The gloves that never wear as we'll as
lifelong friends are those of black kid.
Individual candles and shades at dinner
parties are gradually going out of vogue.
Sealskin sacques are modernized by put
ting in enormous sleeves of other material
Some society women have put the high
Normandy cap on the indignant parlor
maid.
Flora McLimsey's neck grow larger and
longer.
There is a fashionable craze for brooches
of all kinds, with the preference for grand
mama'S.
At afternoon teas it is the fashion to
have as many different colored cups as
possible.
''Silk-warp Tribly, is the name of a very
pretty material to be used for next seasons
street and travelling costumes.
A novelty that will appeal to compare
lively limited number of the people on the
a silver check cutter.
Velvet ribbon in enormous quantities and
in a variety of colorings and rich effects
for both day and evening wear Some of
the Powered gauze ribbons for millinery
uses will have as finish a narrow border
ing of velvet on each side.
Very pretty use is now made of perfo-
rated broadcloth. 1t is utilized in the Gre
alton Of capes, both short and long. Tan
of this material are cut in full circular
shape with deep turned down collar and
lined with SILK of a contrasting color. These
will make effective and stylish models for
early spring wear.
If the testimony of jewelers. could be
taken it would point to two things; one
that fewer articles merely ornamental are
bought. and the ether that the sale of
useful articles is largely increased. The
growth of luxury is seen in the demand for
essential and personal articles in precious
metal Ornament finds it's place on these.
There is scarcely detail that contributes
to service and individual comfort that cam
lew or
who can contribute a new need can find
plenty of customers for it.
For full figures and stout women who
cannot wear the round waists that define
tn cir size, the graceful princess coat will
still prove popular, With skirt to match of
cloth, serge, camefs hair, or the more
dressy fayetta crepon. These coats have
continuous breadths fitted to the waist in
the back. then widening into full godet
pleats. The fronts for these matronly
forms fall straight and open with long
pointed revers to which a cape collar is
added. The skirt is gored. but not too close
ly about the hips. The rest is usually
snugly fitted and often double breasted but
for dreSsy uses there may be a full one of
taffeta of French surah, given the appear
ance of length by vertical insertions of
guiDure lace.

One tallest ice shaft starward stood
Stood it were itself a star,
Scarce fallen from its ssterhood

Upreared a huge white polar bear.
He pushed his Swart nose up and out
And walked the North Star round about,
Below the Great Bear of the main,

A RirflltlnN

MY heart is like singing bird
Whose nest is in watered shoot:
My heart is like an apple tree
Whose boughs are bent with thick-set
fruit;
NV heart is like rainbow shell
That paddles in a halcyon sea;
NV heart is gadder than all these
Because my love is come to me.
Raise me a dais of silk and down;
Hang ii with vair and purple dyes;
Carve IL in doves and pomegranates,
And peacocks with a hundred eyes;
Work il in gold and silver grapes,
In leaves. and silver feurs-de-lys'
Because the birthday of my life
Is come, my love is come to me.

OF Heaven or He'll have no power to sing:
cannot ease the burden of your fears,
Or make quick-coming death little thing
Or bring again the pleasure of past
years,
Nor for my words shall We forget your
tears.
Or hope again for aught that l can say
The idle singer of empty day.
But rather, when aweary of your mirth
FROM full hearts still unsatstied We sigh
And feeling kindly unto all the earth
Made the more mindful that the sweet days
Remember me little then, 1 pray
The idle singer of empty day.
The heavy trouble, the bewildering care
That weighs us down who live and earn
our bread,
These idle verses have no power to bear:
SO let me sing of names remembered
because they, living not, can ne'er be dead
Or long time take their memory quite
away
From us poor singers of an empty day.
Dreamer of dreams, born out of my due
time,
Why should L strive to set the crooked
straght2
Let it suffice me that my murmuring rhyme
Beats with light wing against the ivory
gate,
Telling tale not too importunate
To those who in that sleepy region STAY
Lulled by the singer of an empty day

Concentration.

Around the easement rage the wintry winds,
And January's days are brief and chill
Faint promise gives the mild low-hanging
sun,
The voiceless brooks and leaf buds, closely
drawn,
OF long and mellow hours when flowers
peep forth
To gladden. sense with tint and fragrance
rare.
When birds return to northern homes
again
And cheer with song the toilers in the field
STILL we may welcome Winters surly
reign,
BE undisturbed by his rough, beating blasts,
If firesides, brightly glowing, shine upon
The circled kindred gathered safely home
If love there holds her gentle sway and
throws
Her genial warm rays upon each heart.
