canoIIe Music.

"The detree of Pope Plus X calling for restoration of the Gregorian chant in the serv4ee of he mass and abolishing mixed chdrs. is accepted by choir mas ters of tn, 1rstrank with high satisfac- ton, regarded rom a musicians point of view" said music critic yesterday.
 "The bfhop of Mobile has not yet promulgatsd tho decree, but as soon as he finds change in the choirs of churches of his dio:ese workable it goes without saying that he will dispense with all florid music and all female voices.
 Many oil the bishops of the United States havs already carried out the Pope's decree to the letter; and the Gregorian masses ard pronounced by the laity as most fttirk Artlstically considered, the masses b., the master composers are great festital works but are not appro- priate for the service of the church. In future they will be heard in the big festi- vals and il festivals only Many of the lighter masses are operatc and would sound we'll on the boards they should never have been sung in church.
 But there Is one celebrated mass that calls for female voices which I hope will be excepted In the general order from the Vatican. I refer to Gounod's St. Cecilia mass It is deeply religious from begin hing to end and if any music ever lifted the soul heavenward, 1t is the music of the St. Cecilia mass. When heard Miss Van Merkstyn sing the opening part of the Benedlctus at St Pauls church last Sunday and the double quartette come in later as an accompaniment, could not re- call any music that was so divlnely in- lived for church effect"

wear remarked a man about town. "The aesthetic individual will usu- ally be found affecting delicate shades lavender, pale pink, delicate green. pearl gray and ties of similar hue. His ties will always be clean and new. or else neatly pressed. He will. of course. follow the prevailing styles closely, but no mat ter what the bow you will find it in his case just a trihe more recherche than the ordinary man wears Of course you would naturally suppose that the man who wears black tie all the time is sober minded anything but flop and somewhat indifferent to dress. If the black tie is hobby well kept and free from grease spots the chances are that the wearer is what is known as a good dresser. The di- lapidated black tie is apt to prove that the owner is too careless in the matter Of clothes; he goes to the opposite ex- treme from that of the dude. The man who wears a brown tie-one of those sad affairs-is pretty sure to be a common place sort of individual, without marked ability and often an mpty-headed dude. It is easy to size up the man who wears a tie of glaring colors-his conversation usually gives him away. In this country the black tie has become the badge of the student, the scholar and the public man more than any other. To be sure, there are exceptions to all these classifieations; I have no doubt that you can point out several such cases without any trouble but you will find by observation that my deductions are in the main correct"
