Dr.. John Bachman, q beloved minis
ter in Charleston not much over 20
years ago, was fond of music. More
over, he had an excellent means Of man
aging a church choir, one which other
clergymen might use with good effect.
In his early student life the singing
was very bad in the old church of which
he was a member. He set to work with
the zeal of youth and the enthusiasm
belonging to his own character to re-
form this undesirable state Of things,
and having mustered large class pro
cured a singing master to lead it.
The congregation soon began to take
delight in the result, and Bachman
watched his class with great satisfac-
ton, not at all alleged by the discovery
that his own voice proved neither true
nor sweet, though it was a most agree
able one in speaking.
But his choir was not fiawless. Its
members fell out, and one Sunday when
the pastor gave out the hymn an omi
nous silence reigned. John Bachman
waited a moment in deep anxiety
Then, with his ever present and self
forgetful desire to help, he rose in his
seat and began to raise the tune.
That was enough. The singers smiled
and chimed in by one consent as Justify
as if they had no greater desire than tC
drown his willing but discordant voice,
He smiled also and gave them the floor
and never did he cease TO enjoy the sit
uation. o.

Ribbon Sashes.

Ribbon sashes are worn in various
widths From inches to 10 or IL de-
scribes the limit each way. The excess
lively wide styles once popular are not
used this winter, and the very broadcast
sashes are of transparent texture. A
sash that is not too wide and that falls
to the skirt hem is as rule far more
becoming to the wearer than the one
that is half length. OF course a very
wide sash cannot be tied at the side.
An innovation that has little to recon-
mend it is half length ribbon sash tied
in this position.

~Aho Mnfcn OF the Men OF Hnrieeh."
In military music the march occupies
prominent position and has been en-
ployed not only 10 stimulate courage,
but also from about the middle Of the
seventeenth century TO insure the order
ly advance 81 troops. One of the earliest
instances Of rhythmical march is the
Welsh war strain. The March Of the
Men OF Harlech. which is supposed to
have originated during the siege of Har-
lech castle in l46s. In England the mil
itary march was of somewhat later de-
velopment.
Sir John Hawkins in his History of
Music" tells us that its characteristic
was dignity and gravity, in which re-
spect it differed greatly from the French,
which was brisk and alert, and apropos
of this subject the same author quotes a
witty reply of an Elizabethan soldier to
the French Marshal Biron's remark
that 1.-THE English march, being beaten
by the drum, was slow, heavy and
sluggish. f" THAT may be true, he
said, "but slow as it is it has traversed
your masters country from one end to

The Proper Care OF Clothes

The question of space is one that rs
quires considerable thought. o.
course, when there is plenty of space
and plenty of money, there can be
wardrobss galore, with hooks, shelves,
and drawers, whe each article car
have q place for itself. Where both
economy of space and money have tC
be exercised the problem is more diff
cult. Within the last two Or three
years some clever devices have come
iuto use by which the capacity of hang.
ing-closets can be dOu bled
If the depth of the wardrobe be great
enough TO allow of them, two curtain
poles in sockets are fastened at heigh,
which will allow long skirt to clear
the ground. On these poles are put
the wire frames used to hang coats on,
and 1t is surprising how many skirts
can be disposed of, arranged side by
side, but sufficiently far apart to give
each skirt plenty of room.
Above these two curtain poles are
two others, yard higher up, for the
waists, over which are als) put the
wire or woo de 4 frames. Bat these are
differen ly arranged, for it would OF
course be impos IDLE to r zach SO high
All along the poles, at regular inter
walls, are put eyes, tn rough which runs
cord that is also fas en- to the knob
on the frame, and then. in pulley
holsted as desired. Keeping skirts
and waists thus spread out is great
help towards always having them
fresh. A padding of some soft mater
lal can be puI over the frames, and a
small sachet put therein to give faint
perfume, only it must be very faint.
