the Importance of being consderate and coolheaded
in all matters of public interest An Of diplomacy

good politics for individual to "fy off the handle

the same company, and there was thus saving in

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
Ellis Club Concert

1t would be difficult to speak in too
strong praise of the performance OF
Natorp Blumenfeld, the violin soloist
at the Ellis club concert last night, the
first concert of the season.
The entire program was one of music
al excellence, but particularly strik-
ing was the artistic work of Mr. Blu
menfeld. "Reverie'' by VieuxtempIss
and the Romance ct Ronde Elegant"
by Wieniawslzi were played in a mas
terly manner, showing the finish of the
true artist and brought forth most ap-
preciative applause from the audience:
Mr.. Blumenfeld is a recent arrival
from Europe, having studied in Beriln'
Vienna, Paris and Hamburg, and his
coming to Los Angeles cannot be re-
garded as anything but great acqul-
sition to the local music world.
The singing of the Ellis club was up
to the high standard already estab-
lished under the leadership of Mr..
Poulin. Especially pleasing to the au-
dience was ITO the Sons of Art by
Felix Mendelssohn, which was given
with fine spirit with Leroy Jepsen, L.

FORWOMEN
Vivid CoIors for Wells


No color is considered too vivid for
the new wells. Indeed, one of the most
popular shades is fresh raspberry"
one of the many new fruit-reds which
have been introduced this season, while
bronze-green, amethyst, and Dresden
blue are all to be worn.
An Ideal Flower Garden
Mrs. Burke-Roche, who lives with
her family at the Work cottage at
Newport, has a blue garden-that is,
all the flowers are blue. 1t is quite an
attraction at Newport and much
trouble and expense were necessary be-
fore the garden was filled with flowers
so arranged that just the right shades
for harmonizing were placed together.
Italian Silk Underwear
Have you seen the new italian silk
underwear? 1t is now shown in the
shops done in lovely undervests and
chemises, daintily embroidered. simply
or elaborately. The fabric is much like
a clinging fine silk with a dellcately
glossy finish. In an exhibit in one of
the big shops main floor near the CEN
ter, is an ivory white model trimmed
with white silk lace and white chiffon
satin ribbon, and embroidered in white
silk in an exquisite forSet-menot pat
tern.
Latest in Note Paper
According to a London authority the
rage for the simpler life continues. So
completely averse from ostentation is
the woman of taste and discernment
that the favorite form of decoration her
note paper is given is merely gem
cipher placed at the left hand side of
the page. In its very latest adaptation
it is a heart-shaped design, overlaid
with mother of-pearl, inscribed across
with the writer's Christian name and
surmounted by a scroll of metallic
green RIBBON work
Cold Dessert Favored
That there is a growing prejudice,
quite regardless of season, in favor of
cold dessert after a hearty meal is
shown by the prevailing custom OF
serving a frozen dessert after an elab-
crate and many-coursed menu. The
hot pudding is nowadays reserved for
a simple dinner without soup.
The Shawl May Return
Looked at from a cold. impartial
point, the old-fashioned shawl and the
lace mantilla may leave something to
he desired as fall and winter wraps, but
they are effective and becoming, and it
is safe to predict that before the winter
is over half the young girls will vie
with the Spanish beauties in the grace
with which they manage them.
Lghtness in Dress
Lightness in dress is still the fash
ion, and London society is decking itself
in feathers. Furs have been tempo
rarily eclipsed by the feather stole and
boa. The new feather stole is thicker,
heavier and richer than any that have
gone before it, and variety of new eff
fects are obtained by increasing the
shoulder breadth to the dimensions of
a cape, and by varying the length and
breadth of the stole ends.
