The Anpreciation Of Music.

If we would appre, late music Alright,
we must remember that its beauty de-
ponds not upon the composer alone,
but upon ourselves also Deep calls
unto deep, and the harmony of sound,
though appealing primarily to the out
ward ear, must be answered by a har-
mony from within ourselves. The
more culture we bring to the hearing
OF music, the wider our sympathy, the
more exquisite will be the echoes
which it awakens in the soul. II we
would understand the composers mes
sage we must cooperate with him.
We must reach out to him with all
our faculties. If we do that, the reve-

its beauty, ever turning unimagined
aspects to gladden. us.-Redfern Mason

These all make very tasty effects. An
other popular novelty is a patent leather
foxed-button oxford with grey suede or
serge top OF black. brown or wine top.
The biucher oxfords and the strap and
button pump will vie with each other for
fashionable preferment. While those
in plain effects seem strongest at this
time. there are so many novelties shown
that the fashion WITNESSES may turn to
any one OF them and in a measure sub
merge all else.
Suede oxfords made with straight tips
and some small perforations along the
seams will be very apt TO catch on.

that they are so soft. light. cool and easy.

vital necessity 20 the women who adopt
the height of fashion. These are shown
in tan. taupe. purple. green. blue. grey
and brown. On these shoes the buttons
must match the cloth.
Some pumps are shown with a slender
strap over the inside and a buckle TO
keep the shoe from slipping back and
forth. which is a great fault in pumps.
For indoor wear and afternoon affairs
the slippers must also match the gown.
High heeled pumps In suede OF patent
