Black bead embroideries and tinted
spangles enrich many a velvet gown,
but somehow this royal material does
not lend itself gracefully to such
manipulation. A look more vulgar
than elegant is always achieved, es-
pecially if the work is too elaborate,
as it most frequently is. On the other
hand, the beaded and spangled chif-
fons are exquisite, the fragility of the
background necessitating much lighter
treatment. One adorable white party

stunning visiting frock so treated
showed two of these bands, shaping
a pointed tunic effect, on the skirt.
The material of the gown was violet
and white striped wool, with a silky
finish. Against this the brown of the
sable bands seemed very rich, and a
device for furthef variety was made
by placing the brownish lace against
a dead white background.
The smart gown of the moment
rarely depends upon one variety of
trimming, unless 1t is lace so splen-
did that to put anything else with it
would be sinful. That is, as far as
the trimming of the gown proper is
concerned, for even the white bodies
show line of turquoise or coral vel
vet edging the stock and wristbands.
Sometimes a postillion belt in the
same material is added, and such
slight touches do much to relieve the
sameness.

The season for the big packets on
the upper river is almost ended. In
fact this week will see the last of
the Diamond 10 boats. The summer
travel on the father of waters has
dwiRdled away earlier than usual this
fall on account of the unusual cool
ness that prevails and tourists prefer
some other method of travel to the
route offered by the river
AS the business of the big packets

pleasure seekers, the decline of travel
brings the season to an abrupt ter
mination.

of course, will run till well into De-

CONCENTRATIONS TAUGHT
Prof. BodfOrs Discusses Objects of Society
of Pianoforte Players and Teachers.

Prof. Bodfors Discusses objects of Society
of Pianoforte Players and Teachers.
| 1t may be of interest to the music
al people of this locality to learn
something about the international
Society of Pianoforte Teachers ard
Players, that held a meeting in New
York. Its object and cause for eX-
istence may not be known as it should
be. BY recalling some of the work
and programs of the last meeting, it
may explain some of these points.
The beautiful auditorium of Berk-
eley lyceum was appointed the place
of the meeting. The first days pro-
gram opened with several musical Sc
lections, when \. *. Virgil gave
brief history of the society and in
troduced the president, DR.. Z. f. Bar
tholomew. The subject of DIR. Bar
tholomew's address was Educational
Mission of the international Society"
This address will be found complete
in the September number of The
Profession. The Profession is the of
fetal organ and magazine of the So
ciety. 1t is of inestimable value to
any person interested in music To
read such paper, where the only
COTTecJ HleIHOtlS anu ITincllDleS ar
advocated. Among the contributors
of this paper we find such names as
\. X. Virgil, f. f. Bartholomew, :.
j. Goodrich, F. Damrosch, w. y.
White and others, who are authorities
in their respective lines.
Among other subjects that were
presented was paper from DR.. r. j.
Campbell, of London, England. on the
subject: First the Mind, Then the
Emotion in the Study of the Piano"
w. \. White gave Il paper. and +. III.
Shepard one on Harmony Made Prac-
teal for Piano Teachers and Players"
From the above subjects it will be
understood that the object of this
society is to teach and bring out the
correct and rational methods in the
education of musicians, which is and
has been very badly neglected by
the musical profession heretofore.
Among the several recitals that were
given throughout the meeting, we
wish to mention especially the world
renowned artists, Mrs. Hadden-AleN-
ander and S. NJ. Fabian, who rank
with such artists as Paderewski and
Pachman.

NEW ARSENAL HOSPITAL
Is AGAIN ASKED For

The Chicago Tribune's Washington
correspondent wires his paper:
Army officers who are stationed
at Rock Island arsenal are incensed
at the inferior and dilapidated build
ing which has long been serving as
post hospital at that place. The
present building is an old frame al
fair, originally temporary erection
during the civil war, more than thir-
ty-five years ago, when the island was
occupied as a post for the detention
of prisoners of war. 1t is entirely
unfit for the purpose. 1t is drafty,
leady and rotten. 1t is almost cru
city to the patient to place him in
such a building for treatment, where
blankets must be hung around his
bed in cold weather to keep off the
draft, and his bed moved from place
to place in wet weather to avoid
rain.
"The inspector general of this dis
trict, in his last report of the inspec-
ton of the post, states that this
building is utterly unfit for hospital
purposes and not worth repairing
1t is recommended that an effort be
again made to obtain an appropria-
ton for n new hospital. Estimates
have been repeatedly submitted, and
are again included this year.
The building now used as a stable
is another of the old prison struc-
lures of the war of 1S61-65. 1t has
been patched up and repaired from
time to time as far as possible, but
has finally about reached the limit
of such temporizing measures. 1t is
almost unsafe for horses, and so rot
ten and dry as to be menace in its
possibility on destruction by fire"

The Diamond 10 steamers have had
an unusually good season. although
an unusually short one. In fact, the
river appears to be growing more
and more popular as a scene of sum
mer outings, and river men scout at
the idea that the big packets will be
compelled to pull out of the business
ere long. displaced by railways and
short line packets. They maintain
that the beauty of the scenery and
the convenience and comfort of trav-
cling by boat Will always attract not
only those bent on pleasure alone, but
those who can shape their business so
as TO patronize river craft.
