Victor Records for August

There two ways and only two ways--to get a perfect and intelligent understanding of Victor Herbert and his music. One Is to hear Victor Her berts orchestra in concert, the other Is to hear this great orchestra on the Victor. The first way is open to only a comparatively few people among the ninety million inhabitants of the Uni ted States. But in the latter way, by means of the Victor, the exquisite music of Victor Herberts orchestra can be enjoyed by every one--by the great masses of the public who find it impos- sible to hear 1t in any other way.
 Victor Herbert realizes that the Vie tor is the only instrument that brings to you the music of his orchestra as his orchestra actually plays 1t. and for this reason and because of the other great names represented in the victor record catalog, he has entered into an agreement to make records eNclusNelN for the Victor. When Victor Herbert heard the first of his Victor records he was most enthusiastic in his praise or the Victor company's success in obtain ing such splendid reproductions Of his orchestra's music and therefore the Flc- tor company lost no time In presenting the Victor Herbert records to the pup lie, but issued five of them in spe- cial list in advance of the regular Sep tember Victor Records. The selections are "The Rosary" by Nevn; Ruben stein's Melody in F." "Liebestraum," by Liszt; Bachs Air for G String" and Herbert's striking March of the Toys" from Babes in Toyland; and al- though these records have been out only a few days they have already been en- loved by thousands of music lovers and are being played in homes in every part of the land.
 Among the other contributors this month are George M. Cohan, the Lyric Quartet, That Girl' Quartet, the Trim ity Choir, Alma Gluck. John McCor- mack, Mischa Elman, Frances Aida, Daniel Beddoe and Otto Goritz.

Where's the table?'' was the inquiry from half a dozen relatives. "At the shop" Annabelle said, unwill- ing to tell fib about it. "A leg came off"
 And to shorten long but exciting story, the table spent most of it's time in the hospital-so much that the skepical came to believe that 1t was made in 1774 sure enough and had never had any attention from that date.
 How much has it cost you?" asked an inquiring Aunt.
 Only matter of $50 or so," replied An nabelle, but remember, it is entirely hand made and a genuine antique"
 "Of course, you can't have your cake and eat it too," said the Aunt piously
 'The only way to have your cake is-- to eat it." replied Annabelle, vehemently. ''Who wants to keep cake on a shelf to look at, anyway? Wouldn't it become stale? Would there be any particular en- joyment in just knowing it was-there? {? hate platitudes, and that certainly IS one, and in my humble opinion the moral to it all is that you'd better eat your cake as soon as you get it-and so really have it.'

The craze for handmade articles and antique mahogany furniture afflicts An nabelle as a, disease.
 You know the type, don't you?
 Once she was content to allow few machine-made things in her home, but now She scorns even the humble flat iron if it is not of roughness to show that it is hewn out of the virgin metal by hand.
 Indeed, so serious is the lady over the matter that her friends have begun to jibe her about her symptoms, and so when she asked a relative of hers to make out a list of the things that she needed for her new home, that person sent the fol- lowing:
