MUSIC AND MUSICIANS

their muster In their day no two
composers were more popular. Eliza
beth Shepard's rhapsodical Charles
Auchester, in which Mendelssohn fig
ures as Seraphael, fairly represents the
adulation bestowed upon him, and the
admiration bestowed upon his sacchar-
Inc music. 1t was the music of the
period Of melody and bel canto, flow
ing, graceful, elegant refined, like the
composer himself-music of a charmed
life, not born of poverty, struggle. and
opposition. But evil days came for
Mendelssohn's music. The thunder
ings of Wagner, the dramatic disson-
ances of Debussy, the audacious ca
cophony of Richard Strauss have dealt
havoc with 1t. It is still the music of
youth, however, and young men and
maidens still adore the fairy measures
Of the Midsummer Nights Dream and
the dainty Spring Song, but middle age
demands stronger meat
Chopin holds his own well, and still
has a public which consents to listen TO
his nocturnes and etudes. But even
these seem monotonous and frayed
from long wear, unless performed by
great artists. Perhaps 1t is not un-
gracious to say that the music of Men
delssohn and Chopin is more esteemed
for what 1t was than for what 1t is to-
day. Other times, other customs. Frau
Musica in the lapse of the years has
changed from an airy, fairy, tricksy
sprite to vociferous, athletic. auda-
cious creature, who does not hesitate
to lombard the ear or raise a roof" If
she pleases.

TO KEEP THE SCALP CLEAN.
Method One Girl Finds Good May Pos
sibly Be of Value to Our
Readers.

A girl who had to travel much on
dusty street cars found she need have
her head shampooed less frequently
and keep her scalp much cleaner by
wiping it each night with clean, soft
towel
The hair is parted from the temples
to the back of the neck and the scalp
rubbed thoroughly with the towel;
then new parting is made and the
process repeated until the entire head
has been gone over.
After the scalp treatment is finished
the hair is brushed with a moderately
stiff brush, which is kept scrupulously
clean.
Another way to keep the scalp clean
is to anoint it with little sweet oil
about an hour or more before the
shampoo. The oil loosens the dandruff,
cleanses the scalp and greatly adds to
the results of the shampoo.

CUFFS FOR ELBOW SLEEVES.
Accessory That Promises to Make
for Comfort During the Hot
Days of Summer.

The dressmakers continue to insist
on the long close-fitting sleeve and the
woman who dotes on comfort is in
despair. Anything more unpleasant
than the process of peeling off long
tight sleeve. inch by inch, when one
comes home on a hot day can scarcely
be imagined. A glimmer of light,
however, appears on the sleeve hori-
zon in the form of cool little transpar-
ent cuffs set into the lower end of the
sleeve. Sometimes these cuffs are of
Irish lace, sometimes of very sheer
batiste, tucked or prettily embroidered
by hand. They are simply basted into
the sleeve and may be removed when
laundered. The sleeve itself is, of
course, cut off several inches above
the wrist, and as the little cuff opens
up it's outer edge with buttons and
loops, there is enough roominess OBJ
tainable to push the sleeve upward on
very warm days.

Lavender Pads.

A dainty gift for housekeeper, one
which is particularly suitable also as
an engagement present, where some

size and fiat, so that they might be
slipped into the folds of the linen. A
set might consist of from three to six

ers of which dried lavender flowers
are plentifully scattered. The pad is
finished with tufts or bows of lavender
ribbon. 1t is so simple gift that any
one can make 1t at home, but one
which every dainty woman must ap-
preciate. We all love beds vaguely
fragrant with lavender, but it is one of
the little things that busy housekeep-
ers do not find time to attend to. If
they were provided with the pads, and
in so dainty form, they could not fail
to be pleased.

Waistcoat for Women.

The Beau Brummell waistcoat is a
garment that will be appreciated by
many women in search of an idea to
renovate their last years tailored
suits. These vests come In black,
gray and brown satin or Ottoman silk,
and are in shape similar to the vest
which accompanies a mans dress suit.
They hook over at the left side, and
there finish with a metal buckle,
through which the long ends of a di-
rectoire sash are pulled. The white
silk lining of the vest makes 1t pos
sible to wear it with the daintiest
lingerie or net waists.

Hips Inconspicuous.

The eternal striving toward hlpIess-
ness brings forward all sorts of in
genious ideas. Now comes the notion
of attaching the petticoat to the bot
tom of the corset by means of a line
of the metal snap fastenings. AS the
modish woman never thinks of wear
ing more than one petticoat, this is
quite a practical plan, so far as petit
coats of satin or other dark fabrics
are concerned. 1t must be remembered.
however, that most of these metal
snap buttons are anything but rust
less, and If ones summer petticoats
are Of washable fabrics some other
scheme Of hiplessness must be de-
vised.
