interviews with Hiss Lang and Mrs.
Beach of Bos .On-Their
Methods of Work.

Boston. March 14.-"Miss Lang, l want
you to tell me something of how composers
work. Do they, generally speaking work
much at the piano, depending upon impro-
vising, for instance, to stumble upon some
grand motiff?"
Il suppose the methods OF composers vary
as much as other artists. l can only speak
with certainty of my own. Little songs
and smaller compositions generally take
definite and permanent shape in my mind
before l touch my pencil. In greater works
Ioften find Unnecessary todeyiate somewhat
from my original idea, when come 10 the
actual scoring.
Il think very few composers work at the
piano, and often the idea is as spontaneous
as smile or sigh. Iremcmber once when
Mcdowell was staying with us, he suddenly
learned that it was the anniversary Of my
mothers wedding. He Immediately turned
10 NE and said: Let us play them a trium-
phai march al dinner, and, seating himself
at the desk, he wrote out in about ten min
utes march that had all the fire color, bal
ance and poiSe of a work of art. We played

A VERY CURIOUS FAD.
Grandma Would Never Have Sat with Her
Legs Crossed!

There was time when a woman who had
the temerity TO cross her knees in public
was considered as quite too bold to be
within the pale of good society. Fashions
kinks have taken another twist now and the
woman who is in good society shows it by
crossing her feet obviously. That is, she
not only crosses them in the privacy OF her
own room ,and when she seats herself in her
favorite wide, low chair i'll her reception
room, but she crosses them in the street
cars and the cabs, in the railway stations
and in church she does, indeed!
Possibly there is nothing actually Grim
inal in The habit, though our grandmothers
thought So nor is it improper, as our moth
crs thought and would like TO think yet
if they were not bewildered by the awful
overturning given to their previously con-
ceived ideas of what is right ana proper,
but il is certainly inelegant outside OF ones
own home.
In ones own boudoir, where the frou-
frou of lace ruffles and silk plaitings the
amplitude of skirts and ABUNDANT drape-
ries cover all crude outlines, the crossing of
the feet is not exactly ungraceful. Then,
too, il gives opportunity for tie display
Of "a welI-shod foot, daintily-turned ankle,
half displayed and half concealed by the
clouds of trimming that women pile on
the bottom of their skirts and quite suits
the abandon of the exquisite tea gowns and
the hour.

Physical Beauty to Be Gained in
"the GYM"

Every woman is just as young as she
looks. and any woman can continue to
look young as long as she keeps her figure.
This is not only sound sense, but a gospel
that already boasts a tremendous follow
Ing, and has given rise 10 systemby which
lost figures can be permanently restored.
The lost figure is one that once was
round of waist, supple and flat OF ECuld
er, narrow of back, wide of chest and
shapely OF hip. The figure OF your youth,
that by high-living and lazy ways you
have allowed TO grow thick and broad,
with bent shoulders, long curved spine,

Tie compass plant is one of The oldest
