 Perhaps like some great writer has said of you l suggested that when you take up the baton it is no longer

 'I am another person. said Signor Creatore smiling, when I am away from music and wien I am surrounded by
 You have been accused of much Delsarts m your conducting,o I said, and waited for a reply.
 "Delsarte? Whats that?' asked the Conductor, his brown eyes flashing the question.
 'sWhy, Delsarte-oh you know what lit is." l tried 10 explain. It's only gestieulating, gyrating-sort of aero battle stunts with the baton"
 "Ah, yes" said he.

By far one of the most interesting figures before the public today is Signor Giuseppe Creatore pronounced Cray ah-tow -ray. He told me so yesterday. yirtuoso, Composer and Conductor.
 In each and all of these various ca pacities, Signor Creatore has made his mark and his name ih tonal circles Is one that commands respect, and when he appears before the footlights also commands audiences.
 When l met the famous Italian Con~ duetor, shortly after his arrival here, I was rather surprised at many things. r First of all, he is a much larger man, physically, than l had thought judg- ing from the pictures that we know him best by.
 He is astonishingly vital, although with a languid vitality, if such l may term it. that is very different from any thing you encounter generally.
 With the dangerous temperament the dolce far niente of far off south ern clime-the soft. plaintiye sort of temperament that he possesses-ma1e es the contrast very striking between an indi igenous art, as it were, and exotic art, such as he possesses.
 signor Creatore speaks very broken English, his charming wife acting as interpreter generally, but there is a dazzling flow of thoughts, once you ask the great Maestro a question: thas while disconnected, holds your atten- ton and you learn something of his  tcresting
 This interview isn't stenogranhie. probably it is really better than 1t would be if it were, for his fancy some times leads into such unexpected side paths, only to abandon them at once, that a verbatim record might seem very much confused.
 What. we discussed more particularly as l look back over our conversation of yesterday. was the fact that has SO often been accredited to Creatore aud that is, his especial attention to de- iail in his Band work
 "I have often spent two hours or more with q couple of olarinets,' said Inc Distinguished Band Master fin or der 10 have an accompaniment just as thought 1t should be played. It Was NJ chael Angelo who said that atten- ton to detail was the most important thing that goes to make up perfectiona and while l am not a copyist, l learned many Nears ago that such is true.s

 Three men stand on the hilltop and look at the morning landscape. One sees the wheat looks better since the rain, that the corn should be cultivated at once, that the cattle have wandered away through a hole in the fence that must be mended. The second sees that some one has thrown some glass in the road, that the rain has washed away a support of the bridge, making 1t question whether or not 1t will bear the weight of the new 70 horse power automobile. He looks at the road stretching away and wonders If he can take the hills on first and how many gallons of gasolene it will take to reach that far distant village. A third pauses on the hilltop and his soul is ravished by the beauty of the scene. The noble line of the distant mountain. the glory of color in the transfigured tast the meiting beauty or the blended shade and sunshine on the valley threaded by the silver haze of the river. All .1ave an eloauence to this imagination so alive and aware and as he looks, suddenly the Great Thing happens. It Is all trans lated into deep spiritual experience and he sees in the landscape before him the flutter of the garment of the un- seen God.

Social Notes

Christmas is almost here. The holt
day season this year promises to be
an unusually busy one, both among
the older members Of society and the
younger set. Parties and entertain
ments OF various sorts are being plan
ned galore for the young people away
at college, when they return and there
will no doubt be many vacation guests
in all circles to enjoy the festivities.
Just now everyone Is too busy for the
usual activities socially and there are
anv number of small afternoon gath
erirgs of a half dozen or so who meet
to chat over the Christmas needle
work and exchange ideas for dainty
gifts. There are many clever and USE
fuI ideas that may be carried out with
small expense and trouble, which are
found illustrated in the stores and
MAGAZINES. With the coming week
the various clubs and women's organi-
cations will meet for the last time
until after the smoke Of the holidays
has blown away. Just now they are
too busy with preparations for Christ
mas and later they win be occupied
with the social activities, and after
that viii come the recuperating sea-
son, when everyone will be too tired
for any further festivities. Just at
present the elaborate window displays
and show cases are attracting most OF
the attention and each afternoon the
streets and stores are crowded with
eager Christmas shoppers. The mer-
chants are advertising their goods with
headlines of only twelve more shop
ping days until Christmas. and the
shop early campaigners are out in
full force. In short time the stores
win be open evenings and the people
who work all day in the Offices will be
given a chance to look over the pretty
things. Everyone is taking advantage
of the fine weather and Christmas en-
thusiasm runs high.
