IN THE MUSICAL WORLD
By MARIA DE VAN HURLEY.

Emil Sauer, the eminent pianist, will make his second American tour this sea- son, his engagement extending from De- tober 15 to December "A under the man. agement of Bernhard Ulrich
 sauer is pupil of the immortal Liszt, and it has been said of him that he plays not like one who had practiced nara, but like one born for the instru- ment According to Sauer his favorite piece, and that which he enjoys playing most, Is Chopins Flat Minor Sonata. Of this master work he has said: T have played many greatly more difficult pieces, but none which appeals to me as deeply and profoundly as does this in which everything Is real and before me. In its interpretation, so perfectly lost do l become that during the Funeral March, the part that makes me cold and my very spine to creep, I can see the hearse bearing it's burden and the mourners walking slowly behind it.
 One of my most memorable experi- ences, and one I shall not soon forget, was on a visit to Scotland where I gave several concerts. On one of these oc- casons my programme included this so- nota the Funeral March of which this time had a real and not an imaginary meaning, to me. We had just lost our little boy. but a short time since, and on coming to the Funeral movement there came his image before me. I forgot everything-the hall, the audience, the very piano which was the instrument do- ing my hearts bidding-crying out for my lost child. The audience seemed to share my sorrow; then there was profound silence, caused, as 1t were, from deepest sympathy. After the last note had died into silence, there came such an applause as I had never before been accorded, and was afterward told that even the rough workmen in the gallery were seen to wipe the tears from their furrowed cheeks with their grimy hands,"
 Mischa Elman, the 1S-year-old Russian violinist, will make his initial American tour next season under direction of Henry Wolfsohn. Regardless of his youth, he is considered one of the greatest living violin virtuosi He began his musical training under his father at the early age Of f.
 When but years of age Elman played before Princess Ouroson, who was so impressed with this child prodigy that she offered to adopt and educate him. His father, however, declined this offer, and at the age of 6 he became the pupil of Fiedelman of the Imperial School of Music in Odessa.
 In 1902 Leopold Auer, the world-re- nowned violinist and pedagogue, while on a trip to southern Russia, heard El- man play. So greatly delighted was he at the wonderful talent evidenced by this boy violinist that he secured the permis- sion of the Czar of Russia to bring young Elman with his parents to St. Peters burg, where Auer accepted Mischa Elman as free pupil at the Grand Conserva- tore. After two years study with Auer, Elman made his first public appearance in St. Petersburg in 1904, the success of

Electoral reform is to the forefront of these subjects. The parliamentary mem bers of the congress, composed of labor members of the House of Commons, will prepare a resolution on this question. After welcoming the announcement of the prime minister of the intention of the government to introduce a measure of electoral reform the resolution de- clares that this will not be satisfactory If it does not provide at least ten im- portant notifications of the law These notifications Include proposals in favor of second ballot, the holding of all general elections on the same day, which would put stop to much of the plural voting by large land owners and the payment of members of the House of Commons.
 Several unions will introduce motions proposing reforms in parliamentary pro- cedure, which would enable private mem bers' measures to be carried from stage to stage each session until placed on the statute book or rejected, Instead of being dropped if not disposed of in one session, The resolutions further ask that autumn sessions be held each year to give more time for the passage of legis- lations, proposals for the abolition or the reform of the House of Lords are down for discussion and the congress will wind up with a debate on the question of the establishment of a labor daily newspaper, with contributions from the unions.

Extremes of Fashion.

If you are woman with penchant for color the season was made for you, not glaring season, but subdued color like the tints in the wings of birds, browns, greys, flashes of vivid things here and there, warm, colorful, artistic.
 It is not the seasons colors that startle. It is the. height and the depth and the width of things, the extremes in bird plumage.
 Not in many seasons have fashions been so extreme in the matter of hats, partic- ularly in the trimmings. The shapes are not as ultra as the Merry Widow or indeed as the old Gainsborough and the more picturesque modes. The high crowns and the brims are all a modi- fication of some of the spring modes. But the huge wings and the rest of 1t Is fairly startling Even if a single rose Is worn in the folds about the hat, 1t must be twice as large as any rose that ever bloomed.

which has led to his appearance in nearly every art center of Europe.
 Calve, 1t Is announced, will return to the United States next October for her third, and probably her farewell, concert tour of America. She will again be under the management of MT. John Cort, and will appear only in about 25 concerts owing to her bookings in many other countries. With the exclusion of Patti, no other artist has received a higher fee than has Calve.
 Rumor is to the effect that Patti has signed a six-months contract for another tour of the United States. She is to re- ceive e1000 and a percentage of the re- ceipts for each concert.
 The new German theatre of New York, beginning in October. will lnaugurate a series of Sunday afternoon concerts to continue until the last of April under the dictatorship of Hermann Klein. The pro- gramme will include the masterpieces of the classical composers of old, together with the many works of excellence of the best European and American composers of more modern times. One of the special features will be the usage of the English language in the singing.
 
 The musical activities of London have been very much on the qui vive this summer That the public might be am- ply supplied with musical entertainment, S1 bands were employed to give concerts. These concerts were given in inclosures, 2 pennies securing a reserved seat and a programme.
 Chaminades initial appearance during 1A~ .I-.<~ 4A,. 1f ITx.sf f4I G4afA will be at Carnegie hall, New York De- tober 24. Her programme will consist ex- clusively of her own compositions. Katherine Goodson, the noted English pianist will return to this country this season for her third American tour, her engagement beginning January 1, 1909 un- der the management of Loudon Charlton. Her return to America will immediately follow her first tour of Australia, her first appearance to be at Melbourne on August p.
 Katherine Goodson in private life is Mrs. Arthur Hinton, wife of the English composer. whose piano concerto appeared on her programme last season. She Is still another whose marvellous success may be attributed to Leschetizsky, who Is not only the worlds greatest teacher of piano technique but indeed one of it's greatest phlanthropists, some of our most noted piansts having received his own personal instruction for years gratis.
 In Hullahs Life of Leschetizsky," Katherine Goodson Is mentioned as one of the best pupils Leschetizsky had.
 Julia Rive-King, pianiste and teacher, has accepted a position as head of the piano department of the Bush Temple Conservatory of Chicago. Not many years since this same position was filled by the great Fannie Bloomfeld-Zeisler.

Brilliant Plumaqe.

Breasts of gigantic birds. wings that could only have been torn from an eagles side, even the backs of birds, and their heads are made into hats these days. Two wings fill an entire window, and hats are nothing more than brilliant plumage. Every place in town will soon be looking like an oreory and you will not be surprised to hear every other woman breaking into song. She is going to be nothing but feathers-not a downy, soft creature, but a stiff-winged one. great heavy looking things spreading out on broadbrims, or standing high against the tower like crowns.
 All the lovely russet shades are seen, and that mahogany tint that has just come in with autumn.
 The London smoke Is again to the front and in the large winged hats 1t is seen for both morning and afternoon wear.
 The purple shades are in vogue, and the hats matching the costume have their distinguished touch in the handsome wings of a contracting color.

Here will be shown the cotton seed as 1t comes from the field. after 1t is crushed and the oil extracted and the residue is ground up Into cotton seed hulls and meal The meal and hulls are shown as cattle feed. The oil Is refined for continental pur- poses and Is changed into cooking oil, and by still further process the oil is made into soap.

Tendinu to Overdo.

The tendency of the season Is to over do. You can get out all the wings you have been using for the last two winters and make one huge wing, large enough to completely hide a Merry Widow hat and you will be in doubt as to whether you have gotten the correct dimensions. As to color there is no way to get that 1t is mported-purloined from Paris.
 Some of the less ultra hats are made of the same material of the gown and fit the head rather snugly. Many of these cloth or velvet hats are very modish and revive in their style very pretty one of several seasons ago.

DirectoIre Styles.

The modified sheath gown Is now of It. self passee So much has been written about it, it has been caricatured to so great an extent, denounced everywhere, that 1t will probably be succeeded by something else long before 1t Is really seen in certain sections. They show you a modified sheath gown as well as the real thing in tha smart shops of Gotham. The directoire styles are seen every where All the dainty accessories of the toilet are distinguished by this pretty caprice of fashion, capricious, but deep ly significant. The directoire period means much to the moulders of fashion. When ideas are dead, when Paris weeps because a new gown must make its ap- pearance, there is always the directoire to fall back upon, a period at once so beautiful, so prolific of ideal as to fur nish the coutouriere with the same end- less inspiration as does the French revo- lution furnishe the biographer with ma terial.
 The collars distinctly directoire, the scarfs, that tic in the front, the little cooked up affairs that find their way into the Champs Elysees. into Rotton Row, and then into Fifth avenue. sud- den transformation into directoire figure with frills. And this settles for ever the vogue of the half-length sleeve.
 Looking FrIlly.
 To be modish you must wear fril1s at your throat and in the long sleeves seen now on even the blouses. Every woman is wearing a dainty frill at her throat, in her sleeves, and elbow lengths are hopelessly out of date. To be cor rect you must look frilly, which is to say directoire Most of the frills are of net, but lace is to be used also.
 Stiff-winged hats, high crowned and frills at your throat and wrists and you will pass muster.
 Vests! I saw four today, buttoned straight up the front with gold buttons.

Favors Woman's Suffrage.

New York, September 6.-The Rev. Dr. c. Campbell Morgan, the noted English preacher who arrived here to- day from Europe, declared in an inter- view that he is in favor of woman's suffrage. He said also that the two big political parties in Great Britain are in favor of it and that both houses of parliament are likewise in favor of it, but that for political reasons no big leader in either house can very well become a champion of the cause. Ills believes that very shortly women will be voting in England.

Vogue of the Princess.

But none of this means the passing of the princess gown This still holds sway for evening wear, Built upon sheath lines it will be the prevailing style for the winter for all evening occasions. It is rather early for the exclusive impor- ters and American makers of gown to be showing the winter toilettes. A week or more longer will witness the display of these houses, and many of them will not have any formal exhibit. This Is no longer considered necessary. The hoi poi lo thinks 1t is seeing everything to be seen, but it sees nothing.
 To really see the French departments of these places requires either diplomacy or prestige or money, to possess all three yourself or to have a friend who does. You are fortunate to gain the entree into these private parlors reserved for only those whose gowns run up well into the hundreds. It is only tout le monde who goes there.
