FIRST LEARN TO SWIM


Written for The Evening Star by Katherine Morton.
Beauty. the mother of love according to
one of the myths of the ancientS, is the
daughter of the waves, and of light, air and
sunshine.
The relationship is acknowledged to this
day: the fairest forms grow fairer still In
loving embrace of the limpid element, and
only that woman is truly strong. graceful
and beautiful who knows how to swim. AS
a developer of rounded curves swimming
is better than any athletic exercise known.

FROM THE MOUNTAIN TOP.
The Larger View of Life as II Was
Obtained at n Summer
Resort.

Nowhere, probably, is there oppor-
tunity for more interesting character
study than at summer resorts. One
could fill a volume with the varied
definitions of vacation as illustrated
by the different persons whom n
meets in a single summer, says Youths
Companion. Temperament, education,
surroundings, companions, the state of
pne's health and of ones purse-these
are only a few of the elements of the
summer problems the results of which
range all the way from keenest enthusi-
asm to complete boredom.
The group of guests in a house un-
der the shadow of Mount Washington
pne summer contained. as does nearly
every such group, both the enthusiasts
and the Indifferent. The bored one In
this case wa a snowy young woman
who dressed four or five times a day,
and in the intervals sat about on the
piazza and yawned. The other guests
always met her c%uriously, but there
was so clearly nothing in common be-
tween her and them that she was soon
left to herself.
One day, apparently because she did
not know what to do with the time,
she went up Mount Washington. The
morning was clear, but in the afternoon
there were showers. and she reached
the house wet and draggled and tired,
her hair streaming about her face and
her gay hat ruined. One of the guests

The result a electrifying. The
young woman stopped eagerly.

the world like it! When I got up there
and looked off-all over the world, II
seemed to mech, l can't tell you, but
you know what I mean-how it just

She looked up, pleading for compre-
hension of the stammering words, and
then the other saw that her eyes were
full of tears. Ignorant and cheap and
shallow though she was, something had
come to her on that mountain top, and
her life could never be quite SO poor and
small a thing as it had been.

all looked down upon for lack of cul-
ture and refinement, brought me from

never since been quite so ready to judge

cheap things of life. Perhaps for each

MUSIC AND WAR.
Gentle Art That Enthuses Men Long
Associated with the Fight
ing Trade.

The gentle art of music has from
| earliest times been associated with the
rude art of war. Joshua threw down
the walls of an old city with the shofar.
Troops march to music, they gain heart
from it, it is the solace of their leisure,
1t softens the asperities of the camp,
| they rise and sleep, eat and move by
call of the bugle. Many a wavering
patriot, doubling if he owed the more
of himself to his country or his shop,
when war broke out, has decided for his
country when he heard the national
anthem, says the Brooklyn Eagle.
In the great camps, during our little
disagreement with little Spain, nothing
brought the men of the north and south
so suddenly and heartily into agree
ment as the playing of Dixie" by the
northern bands. The hooroar that
went up when the band of a New Eng
land or western regiment marched
through the company streets of a
Georgia or Alabama command playing
this inspiring anthem was worth
going miles to hear. To dis
continue military music would
be to discontinue enlistments,
make the life of garrisons spiritless,
and increase assertions. There would
be little public interest in parades and
ceremonies in which there vas lacking
the magnificent uproar of a dozen
bands playing in different times and
keys. And without public interest you
cannot maintain an army.
And again, without military bands
to serve as training schools and to
gather musicians together, the cause of
music itself would suffer. As Saint
Saens declares, the concerts by military
bands have a part in popular education.
They furnish the only good music that
the masses hear. They cannot afford
the opera, but they hear excerpts from
it in the parks and or the streets. and
enjoy them even better than our audi
ences enjoy the stage performance.
To thousands in the tenements the
evening and holiday concerts in the
public squares are a delight and q re-
lief from the dull, hard routine that is
their daily life. Whatever France may
do about it, and we doubt the report
that France is to do away with military
bands, we believe and hope that it will
be a long day before the band-even the
gutter band-disappears from among
us.
