THE RIGHT AND WRONG OF MUSIC
1t is Absurd to Think That Stories
and Pictures Can be Presented
in Tone.

The person who imagines that .
musical composition endeavors to out,
line a narrative or describe sunset is
wholly mistaken in musical under
standing. The things composer tries
to express are far greater-or at leas:
far vaguer-than the elements of a
concrete romance. Whatever the
skeleton of its form or the mathemat-
les of its details may be, the spirit
Of good music is Mood-Mood with a
capital NJ; and you know what a vague
thing a mood is. tits like fog; you
can breathe 1t, see 1t, feel 1t; indeed,
you may not be able to get out Of it;
yet you cannot begin to draw an out
line of It, says Rupert Hughes in the
August Delineator.
When good music is cheerful, It Is
not cheerful like a comic paper joke.
The cheerfulness of cheerful music
is the strange essence of delight that
sweetens a spring breeze. You drink
1t in, and say. at is April" and forget
your troubles in curious bewilder-
ment of bliss that you do not even try
to explain. Or It is like the contagi-
GUS rapture of a child that seizes your
banda nd makes you run along the
street, then pauses with beaming eyes
and gasps, "Aren' We having a good
tIme!"
The grief of sad music is-just grief,
just heart.sickness, pure, unalloyed re-
greet. 1t is the world.agony, the Welt.
schmerz, the ache of living, ashes Of
old fires. 1t is nothing more definite
than the emotion you feel at seeing
crepe on strangers door when you
walk along the street.

In order to properly receive the roy
al visitor the entire North Atlantic
Squadron, under Admiral Evans, will
make It a point to be in Hampton

Jennie always spoke SO casually
about the collection toward her house
keeping outfit that every one accepted
it as matter Of course.
1t was when she was only 16 that
Jennie's mother, finishing hemming the
last of dozen new napkins, remarked:
There. Those are ready to go into
the chest" Questioning brought to
light the further information that the
chest was to be filed with things for
Jennie.
'Of course she'll get married some
day." said her mother, "and It's lots
handler to be making things along In,
stead Of rushing at the last minute.
I'm doing table linen now."
By the time Mrs. Markham had fin
ished the set Of kitchen towels and had
begun on china every one took 1t with
out comment. When Jennie was Is the
chest was full and big dry goods box
was called into requisition to hold
things. Not that Mrs. Markham was
anxious for her daughter to marry and
leave her. On the contrary, she often
dropped tear on completed dolly or
bureau scarf as she laid 1t with the rest
of the collection. Adding things to
Jennie's store grew to be a habit.
Christmas gifts Of an attractive nature
were ruthlessly sacrificed to the box.
'1That'll be nice when you have a
house of your own" was the requiem
Jennie heard sung over numberless
things snatched from her before she
had a chance to use them at the mo-
ment.
All her friends knew about her col
lection and by the time Jennie left
school the older women had begun to
say 1t was lucky that Mrs. Markham
had been so far-sighted, for in case
anything did come of Ross Whlpple's
