THEIR MUSICAL EVENING.
How a Highly Trained Musician Was
Entertained at an Aristocratic
Country Home.

How a Highly Trained Musician was
Entertained at an Aristocratic
Country Home.
New York, Oct. 4.-The man who has
no music in his soul now and then gets
his innings-witness this true tale of
man who did have music in his soul.
He had also a fine voice, carefully
trained. He had, indeed, spent seven
years and much of his patrimony with
the best masters abroad. He cares
nothing for Society, with the capital
letter, but since he chances to belong to
an old and rich family and is, more
over, the soul of good nature, it is i'm
possible wholly to escape visiting at
some of the great country houses.
One of these visits CHANGED to be at
the home of young woman widely
known for her wealth and her charities.
She lives in a palace in one of New
York'S SWEETEST suburbs, so the music
al mans friends felt that he was play
ing in great luck to get an invitation.
He himself may have had a dim and
shadowy notion of the same sort. If
he did, it died young. 1t was a week.
some part of Sunday would be given to
music, and so took along various sac
red and solemn things. fitted to the
time and place.
He guessed right-there was music.
The young lady herself made II. sing
ing Moody and Sankey humns. taking
the leading part herself, while the Wis
itor was assigned a second. She said
graciously that he sang well-she had
not been better accompanied but a few
times in her life. This, she let him
know, was high praise; for they were a
musical family and always played and
sang with their guests. There was one
exception to the family proficiency
her brother Jack. just home from col
lege. He could neither sing nor play
but, then, he loved music we'll enough
to make up for the lack of 1t.
Then she turned the artist over to
Jacks tender mercies. Jack demanded
songs-coon songs. lots of them. When
the musician demurred, Jack said in
great amazement: why say We
thought you were a musical fellowi"
oh, so l amin way, but you see
my American education has been bit
neglected. l truly don't know a single
coon song" said the visitor. Jack whis-
tied and stuck his hands in his pock-
ct, declaring: 81 call that shame"
Then he frightened and added: But
wen have some fun even II you don't.
Ever see that thing which plays the
plano! No? Well, I've got a bully fine

COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER"
A. Game That Gives Lots of Fun with
Little Trouble.

A. Game That Gives Lots of Fun with
Little Trouble.
This is a game that may be. played
without any preparation whatever, as
no materials are required, not even PEN
Gil and paper. 1t is, therefore, well
worth knowing, for 1t may be suggested
to a party of friends on the spur of
the moment. when some such amuse-
ment is desired.
The players choose leader and then
seat themselves in circle, with the
leader in the center. He, of course.
stands. AS the game may be better
understood from an illustration, we
will suppose the leader to begin it by
saying:
Young people, you are all supposed
to be commercial travellers, about to
start on journey to any part of the
world that you may prefer, on bus
mess. ! will ask each of you, If you
please, to tell me where you are going,
and what you intend to do when you
get there"
1t is required that every answer to
his questions should be alliterative;
that is to say, that all the words of
the answer should begin with the same
letter: and the first answer should be-
gin with the letter A. This is the way
1t runs:
Leader-where are you going? An
swer-To Annapolis.
Leader--What will you do there? An
swer-Attend Academy.
B goes to Boston to buy baked beans.
to Chicago to collect Columbian
coins, d to Damascus to do Dervish
dances. r to England to earn Edwards
esteem. F to Florida to find fragrant
flowers. G to Golconda to gather gilt
tering gems. II to Havana to have half
holiday. I to India to inspect idols. J
to Jerusalem to judge jewels. X to
Kentucky to keep knives. L to Liver
pool to lodge land lubbers. M to Mon
tana to make money. N to the Neither
lands to negotiate notes. o to Okla
homa to open an oyster shop. p TO
Philadelphia to pawn pennies. q TO
Quebec to quit quarreling. r to Rus
Ella to raise rice riots. S to Senegam-
bia to sell saucepans. T to Turkey to
taste tobacco. u TO Utah TO urge use
of umbrellas. v to Vienna TO visit va
rious viscounts. w 10 Washington to
willingly waste wages. to Yazoo 10
yell at yielding yokels. y to Zanzibar
TO zoologize zebras.

boys and girls, or even by adults, -
made uproaringly funny by the queer
and incongruous answers that are giV-

seem very stylish. The cloth coats are
perhaps a degree more gallant for
street wear than the shorter Louis al
fairs, which depend on jeweled pelts
and rich embroideries for effect. But
it looks as If the last are to be mucn
worn and by old as well as young
though elderly women will with THESE
conhne themselves to dark hues ana
the richer materials-black VelVet'
satin, etc.
Elegant Evening FrOcks.
Evening dresses are taking on
gorgeousness of combination discour-
aging to the women of light purse and
ambitious soul. Trains are shorter
tunic effects of velvet and panne are
seen over petticoats of rich lace, the
model of such a costume limiting deli
cately of the stately days of patch ana
powder.
one of these rich evening frocks
pictured is of rose colored panne over
a petticoat of silk muslin in a paler
tint. Black chantilly lace, in wide,
irregular entire deux, is put over
foundation of the muslin to form
very decorative trimming for the
princess tunic. 1t also outlines the
petticoat founce-in less curving and
narrowed width-and where the tunic
is caught at the back there are but
terfy bows of the panne with slim
shaped ends to fall over the train. At
the back waist line another of these
coquettish bows appears, and one at
the bust fastens a shoulder scarf In
the same rosy material For such a
costume a long cloak of black satin
with wide sleeves and a monks hood
would be in dashing harmony.

and woven very loosely"

as eiderdown- She had had it woven
with black warp. On each end was a
stripe of plain blue foot wide, then
a mingled narrower one, and next an
inch wide black. Then yellow and red.
The body of it was "hit or miss" The
old weaver had done her work we'll.

THAT is made of an old chenille por-

and the cutting did not take me long.
1t only cost me .thirty-five cents to
have 1t woven, and the warp was twen-

half worn chenille curtains or table
covers. The strips are to be cut almost
an inch wide for rugs, and narrower
for divan covers"

fined at the waist by a scarf of~white
cloth. At the right side gore of the
skirt, and right breast of the jacket,
a frogging of black silk braid is a
novel touch.
The Seasons Coats.
Long coats are more than ever seen,
but the shapeless looseness that
marked them last winter is being re-
placed by a half fit that is very be-
coming to willowy figures.

but those long, loose coats had curl

Jack was as good as his word. He
rolled out the Angelus and worked it
industriously for three hours-a society

him on the back and said cheerily:
Now, you see what a man loses by

Sure enough, the dictionary was in
the lower shelf, and the upper space
held reference books, and she had them
set against her writing desk to save
space.

So along with the things you may
properly wear 1t seems only reasonable
to point the things you would better
not.
To begin, there are some cocks plume
boas in the market, whose grays and
blacks are mixed with white and the
feathers ruffied up in such a way as to
create a distressfully combative look.
no woman short of the Venus de Milo
could support such a collar with dig

chicken air they add a good ten years
to your age.
other new boas that strike the OBJ

are certain short collars of stuffed fur
ending in heads, from the mouths of

rather extravagant model is composed
of a neck piece Of ostrich feathers and
ends of frilled silk muslin, caught at
defined spaces with clumps of short
feathers.
An elegant simplicity and a caressing
limpness distinguish the best OF the
new fur collars. The various skins used
for them are in the French models left
unstuffed. which gives a little look of
having killed and dressed your animal
yourself. Some of the most stylish
boas are of black fox, and the band
being perhaps seven inches wide at all
points and finishing at each end with
three tails. They are to be worn either
high ike stand-up collar. or else as
a stole-tippet over the shoulders, two
buttons at throat and chest holding
them in place. When worn high about
the throat, and crossed, these soft
boas seem very handsome.
