After completing her studies with
Sevcik last spring Miss Gluck went
east, instead of coming west, as Is
usual with new'f1edged musicians. In
the beautiful city of Carmen Sylvia,
Queen Elizabeth of Roumania, re-
ception at which she was guest Of
honor was arranged by the American
minister and his wife, Mr.. and Mrs.
Horace Knowles, and here it was be-
fore some Of the best amateur musi-
clans in Europe that the American girl
made her debut.
Shortly after this reception Mr..
Knowles received An intimation that
Miss Gluck would be received at the
palace Of Cotrocepi, which was de-
signed largely by Crown Princess
Marie, from whom the command came
Many audiences given by music-loving
royalty to music artists are of a pri-
vate or semi-private nature, but the
young American girl was formally pre-
sented at the court of the crown prin-
cess first and then was invited to play
for the princess and the distinguished
assembly present.
Early in the morning on which she
was leaving Bucharest Miss Gluck
and her mother were surprised by a
call from M. DALI rOrso, the queens Sec
retary, and himself an amateur musi-
clan of no little reputation. He was
the bearer of a private message
from the queen expressing her regret
that serious illness had prevented her
from hearing Miss Gluck play before
she left Roumania. With the verbal
message was a photograph and a note
written by the queen, although when
she wrote it she was too i'll to sit up.
It read:
With my deepest regret not to be
able to hear you, being i'll in bed. l
hoped to be we'll sooner, but I'm afraid
the illness is not over. I can't even
sit up in bed. I'm so sorry!
"ELIZABETH"
Just before leaving Roumania Prin.
cess Marie sent to Miss Gluck large
photograph of herself which she had
autographed. From the queen she
had received a copy of the most sue.
cessful portrait of her majesty taken
in recent years, and from Mile. Helene
Vacaresco, the queens intimate friend.
who has shown her much kindness.

TO BE WORN IN AUTUMN.
Looking Little Ahead for the De-
crees Of Fashion.

The prevalence of glossy-faced ma.
terials, with satins in the lead for
elaborate occasions and satin-faced
wools for daytime use, is assured for
fall wear.
It is evident that very supple but
firm weaves, such as the broadcloths

The vogue for separate coats will

ting the velvet manufacturers through
their PAGES.
From some samples which repre-
sented a part of a buyers output fo1
the coming season it is prophesied
that checks, plaids and stripes will be
in great demand.
This style is being fostered by the
vogue of plain skirts and plaid, striped
or checked skirts or the reverse.
With the sheath skirt, which is
likely to be modified, one may rest as
sured that the tight-fitting French
coats with scanty peplums will come
out in velvet for cloth skirts as soon
as the weather permits.
Whatever the weave in silk or wool
there is one quality which is common
to all-suppleness and tendency to
close texture. This BODIES we'll for the
permanence of the tight skirt, since a
firm material is needed to keep it in
shape.

feel the change of style is certain, but
that it will be actually banished is

Sleeves TO Be lonoer.

The vexed question as to the cor.
rect sleeve length has been answered
at last with no uncertain voice. Sleeves
are to be long. so long that not only
ars the elbows covered and reach the
wrists, but the point must fall over
the knuckles, and in some instances
there are actually concealed thumb
holes in the cuffs, through which the
thumbs may be passed In order that
they may help to keep the sleeve down
to their fullest extent.
This particular vogue adds not q
little to the studious suppression of
all efforts after display that character.

cur1ously enough, the exceedingly
quiet aira that is sought for in the
smartest of smart toilets is not

Is because each item of the sartorial
scheme Is mosaic-like in its precision

The most conspicuous of. the late
millinery models, because the most at-
tractive, are the draped and friiled
bonnets of net, tulle or lace, recalling
vaguely the much-abused bebe hat of
other years and built up on much the
same lines as the Charlotte Corday.
The new shapes are very high Of
crown, too. The brims vary in width,
but in all cases droop sharply, and
since the bOnnets sit low upon the
head, as do all the hats of the season,
the plated frills of these brims fall
softly around the face and over the
low chignon at the back They seem
to belong by right to pretty faces, or
at least to piquant faces; but where
they are becoming they, are as delect-
able as anything ever devised for wear
with sheer summer frocks The above

models.

PITY and the PICTURESQUE.

There was a widow (her husband
had been dead for a fortnight) who
lived in humble and honest way, and
who achieved triplets at stroke. Two
newspapers, touched, and rightly, by
her indigence, decided that a candy
shop would be pleasant thing for
her. They ran a human story that
fairly dripped mercy and loving kind
ness, telling of the tenement home,
the bereavement. and the scheme. for
ready bargains in caramels and choco-
late kisses. The public, which is
everything rather than stony-hearted,
sent back $1,000 and the widow was
able not only to start her shop, but to
include soda fountain. This is the
same public that throws newspapers
and banana peels into the hospitable
gutter, and thereby cuts of the ap.
propriations for tenement house in.

in public buildings, and thereby mul.

Summer Weddings in Rural New York.

many amusing contrasts. An usher at

nothing odd these days in going to a

German composer, Miss Gluck was
born'in New York state, and is the

Egbert recommended her, to try for

She did so and won it. Afterward
he advised her to go to Sevcik, the ia.

Prague. The Sevcik school at Prague
was inundated with applications for
admission, and violinists even of the
better ranks were turned away by
dozens. Miss Gluck's application
failed to bring her even a response.
Disappointed but not discouraged,
Miss Gluck and her mother left for
Europe, going first to Berlin early in
the spring of 1909. Meanwhile Prof
Egbert himself went to Prague to take
some lessons from Sevcik, and through

After the clover is gathered it is

accepted style was seen ON an all

usual shape; of soft black tafteta, but
the two ends were quite long and
nnished with deep black silk fringe.
1t was pretty and, as the fringe hung
over the brfm Of the hat, it was grace
full.
Such a style is very appropriate to
a woman who is nearing middle age,
