NOVELTIES IN METAL WORK.
New Crop of Little conveniences for
the Afternoon Tea Table.

The metal workers have been busy OF
late and have produced lot OF novel;
ties more or less useful. one is a sill

ing card. on one side "A jeweled but
ton slides W. and down pushing one
card at a time through the opening at
the end. All -ou have to do Is to put
in as many cards as you think you will
need FOR the afternoon rounds and
shuttle them out one at a time.
Then there are new VANITY boxes.
card cases for men and women and
cigarette cases made of duh gray chas-
ed or etched silver with a sort of en-
velope fastening. The flap buttons
down with a Jewel.
The theor,- that one cannot have too
many tea table conveniences has slim
ulated invention. Sugar tongs come in
the shape of a lobster claw about four
inches long. The smaller part of the
claw works on spring. so that the
tops will pick up alump Of sugar very
easily
Instead of the old-fashioned tea ball
there is new percolator in the form
of a basket of openwork silver hung
on a silver chain. The top opens to
receive tablespoonful Of tea and then
the basket is swung in a cup or pot of
hot water until the tea is brewed. a
bunch of silver grapes answers the
same purpose.
Lemon dishes of cut crystal with re-
movable silver openwork rims are new.
With each dish comes a tiny silver
fork, having long. slender tines to lift
the slices.
Pierced sandwich plates of silver are
necessary now for the hostess who en-
tertains in a small way. These plates
are larger than the ordinary dinner
plate and the edge is cut out in a very
elaborate pattern.
Copper is seen in new effects. One
novelty is tall flower jug. which. be-
sides possessing = graceful shape and
exquisite color. has very heavy base.

about eighteen inches long. The tip
OF the shell was cut off and one side
rounded out into a wide mouth. A
heavy brass handle was riveted ut the
side
Cartridge shells are also turned into
coffee sets of three pieces. An indi-
vidual coffee set has the three pieces
arranged one on top of the other. The
long. narrow pot just large enough To
hold one cup of coffee is provided with
Il cover in the shape Of little. round.
squatty cream pitcher This i'm turn
has a cover like skillet which is de-
signed to hold two or three Jumps of
sugar. A mere compact article for
the breakfast tray could scarcely be
imagined. Ii can be made in silver or
copper.
Old bottles are being converted into
attractive decanters and TASKS. The
metal workers take antique green and
yellow bottles Of odd shapes and dec
crate them with silver deposit work or
some other adOrnment, after which
they are beautiful enough to adorn a
Sheraton sideboard. In some cases a
monogram is deposited on the glass
in a large silver ribbon design. or else
crest OF coat Of arms can be put on
one side of the decanter
II is difficult to get these old bottles
and they in themselves bring good
prices. When the silver work is add
ed. very difficult thing to manage
with old glass. the price scars.

is paid in the british capital about
$500 an evening. but in New York she
has 81, 500. Calve. whose compensation
i the same as Melba's in Covent Gar
den. is fabled-or perhaps it is the
literal truth-to receive $4,000 for each
performance in New York city. Leh-
man is popular in Germany. where she
gets $3.50 n night-a very high price
for the thrifty music lovers of the
Fatherland to pay; her American rate
is $500.
So it goes through the whole list OF
the grand opera favorites. Nordica,
Louise Homer. Geraldine Farrar. En-
ma Eames. and the others are all said
to receive compensation in America
which they could not expect to get
abroad. Consequently. it is no wonder
that American maidens from Maine to

earning bigger salaries in a short sea-
son than most bank presidents in a
years work. Their chances. of course.
are greater in America. Thus 1t is re-
ported that a much advertised pianist
not long ago PLAYED for $50 a recital
at Nuremberg and then received $l0,-
900 for a series of forty recitals in the
United States. Considering the oppor-
tunities here, il is not strange that so
well informed a musical critic as
Henry T Finck wrote recently in THE
Nation: 1.-The rewards of success in
music are indeed so great that it is n
wonder so few men compete for them"
There is, to be sure. another side to
the story. Beneath the ranks of the
very Successful are thousands Of pro-
fessional musicians who, even in this
country of high prices. manage at best
to get only a modest living. and some
times hardly that. Still il is doubtful
if they are worse off than the gener-
ality of the moderately successful in
other walks of life. The small salaries
of orchestra players are sometimes re-
ferred to as showing that there is lit
tie money in music. Yet. if it is true.

pearance are none too many, and for
attaining great prominence on the
operate stage are very few indeed, yet
nearly all the graduates of high-grade
American music schools seem to be
reasonably certain. if possessed of or
binary common sense. to make their
way in the world. When Colonel Saw
age advertised for a flower girl chorus
for his production of "ParsifaT in
England more than a thousand young
Americans presented themselves. But
the plethora of American beauties was
undoubtedly due not 50 much TO the
munificence of the compensation Of
fered as to the general glamour of the
stage and the particular desirability OF
appearance in so famous 4 production.
Men ~ the United States are gen.
orally less read- than women to take
the musical profession seriously. This
is particularly true Of the educated
classes from which the ranks of the
other professions are recruited. There
Is. however. a tendency now for col
lege bred young men to think Of mu-
sic as something which they max take
up instead of law. ministry. medicine
or engineering. Some, like Frederick
:. Converse. a youngN Harvard man
who entered upon a business career
but found the call of music too strong
to resist. have discovered in musical
composition a very interesting field.
Since the production of his opera.
THE Pipe of Desire" by Conservatory
students in Boston two years ago. Mr..
Converse has had several introductions
to New York audiences and has be-
come recognized as one of the coming
composers.
Another graduate of Harvard who
has become very popular in New York
is Francis Rogers, who has added tech
nical power to the manner in which
he used to sing glee and college songs
and has met with great success on the
concert stage. Herbert Witherspoon is
another collegian. a graduate Of Col
umbia, who has gained great profess
sional and social favor as a singer.
The attention that is now paid to mu-
sic in the collegeS-particula where
such an alliance as that that has been
concluded between the oldest Of Amer
lean universities. Harvard. and the
New England Conservatory Of Music.
by which work done in the Conserva-
tory can be counted toward Harvard
degrees-is helping. undoubtedly. to
induce more and more Of the educated
young men of the country to compete
for the very considerable financial and
artistic rewards of the musical pro-
fession.

MUSIC AND MONEY
MEET IN THIS COUNTRY
America the Musicians Fl Dorado
Some Singers and Pianists Paid
More for an Evenings Work Than
Average American Earns in a Year.

New York. Sept. 15.-(Special CORE
spondence of the Republican,
an energetic New York impressario
planning to distribute grand opera
house in half a score of the larger
cities of the United States. and with
another purveyor of entertainment
contracting with a singer for a few
songs at a round price OF $500, 200. it
looks as il Americans will shortly be
listening-except that those in tho
box seats don't always listen-to more
high priced music than ever before.
Already this country has acquired a
reputation for paying musicians as
they are paid nowhere else in the
world. Americans may not he a mu-
steal people. There are some who say
not. But the people of this country
clearly have the price when something
comes along which is believed to be
worth listening TO. Music and money
ought not, perhaps. to be intimately
associated; but, as things are. the peO-
pie who have the money generally get
the best music.
With two grand opera combinations
in competition and with the perman-
ent Orchestras of several American
cities featuring distinguished instru-
mentalists and vocal artists in their
concerts up and down the country. it
is impossible to say whether the sup
ply of distinguished foreign musicians
will keep up with the demand; and il
is certainly not remarkable that
American girls in greater numbers
than ever before are studying for the
operate stage The prizes in the mu-
steal profession become greater and
greater each year; as for the blanks,
why, of course. youth argues that these
are numerous in every profession.
What allures is the undoubted fact
that prices have advanced far over
those of earlier days. when 500 a
night was regarded as excellent pay
for the singer or instrumental per-
former.
Although musicians receive much
