MANY WOMEN STUDY VIOLIN
German Writer Discusses the ouaIifi-
cations for tho Profession and
Tells Its Drawbacks.

The Increase in late years In the
number OF women studying the violin
ls commented on by q German writer
twenty years ago. he says, parents
hesitated before allowing their daugh.
ters to learn the violin, whereas at the
present time the woman violinist Is
frequently met with.
Discussing the qualifications neces.
sary, he says that the woman student
OF the violin must have a first rate
ear and In the next place must be
physically strong. The great draw.
back to the profession. he thinks. is
the comparatively poor prospect it
offers II one leaves out OF question the
so-called "women's bands" which arc
to be met with all over the continent
In cafes and places of doubtful repu.
tation. At present no place is given
TO women violinists In regular or.
chestras. though there have been some
emlnently successful ensembles and a
number OF concert players have done
we'll professionally.
On the whole the German writer
does not advise the violin as a prof<s
sion for women, though he admits the
time is coming when the career is
likely to be much more attractive.

10! the CanteIoupe,


Basktns in its bed OF eauzy tissue

canteloupe is again in our midst. Se-
ductVeR II fiaunts its crinkled sur

It's vauAted hidden wealth of flavor
and fragrance
Trust her not. She is fooling thee"
NO such extravaganza OF deceit and
untruth was ever encompassed in so
small space. 1t is a lure Of lies and
unfulnlled promises. driving mankind
to wrath and dire expletivs. Man goes
forth to buy joyously and in hopeful
expectation Of gustatory delight, only
to consume in despair and sorrow. The
'canteloupe is ever an unfaithful prom.

And yet, II perchance, as the duuky
diamond digger. once in q generation
or lifetime. unearths from the blue
clay a Kohinocr or a Cullinan, cne

tion. he forgives and forgets. and be-
comes again slave to the lure of the

A Poor Proposition.

Frank A. Munsey, the wellknown
publisher, is noted among his friends
a. close reasoner.
New York reporter Bubmittsd re-
comfy to Mr.. Munsey a proposal for
a new magazine on novel lincs. Mr..
Munsey proved In a closeIy-reasoned
argument that this magazlne would
fail. Then. In conclusion. lie said:
"Or. II the magazine did pay, II
would pay so little that its publishers
would be like an editor in the neigh
borhood OF my native Mercer.
Near Mercer, Me-, lived AN editor
who once printed in his weekly paper
this editorial announcement:
"In view OF the fact that we nro un.
able TO pay. the road tax Of So assessed
against us. we have been sentenced
to period OF confinement by the au-
thorities. Consequently there will be
no issue OF this paper for the next
month; but. as the state will have to

The rat man was touched. HIS rase
