Two years went by, in which Ber-
gonzi made several instruments, and
his skill almost matched that Of mis-
teacher. One day he received letter
from Clema, beseeching him to come
to her, as she had something to tell
him. Bergonzi left his work and fol-
lowed the messenger, who led him to
a door habitation in the outskirts OF
the city and up creaking stairway
to the top floor.
Here he found his old sweetheart,
pale i'll and in utmost poverty. To him
she confessed that she had stolen the
violin, but was so fearful that she haG
not dared to play on it or even to put
on strings, but had concealed it from
all eyes. She could not herself make
a sounding post and bridge and she
dare not ask a dealer, as the violin
would have been instantly recognized
For a year she had thus kept the in
strument, until one day, while admir-
ing it, she had fallen from a chair on
which she was standing and broker
her wrist

Skovgaard's Story of his Violin.

In the year 1908 there lived in Gre
mona a young man, Caro- BergonZl by
name, who was one Of StradlVarlus'
best pupils. BergonZi had already,
under his masters eye, made several
good instruments, and had obtained
some fame, when he, in ITO, fell in
love with a young violin player, Clema
Poungiera. The girl wanted ? violin
by Stra6ivarius, but had not the
means as the great maker DEM .ded
four Louis dor for his instruments,
and that was big sum in those days.
Two years went by, elena and Car
10 saving what they could, patrly for
a violin and partly for their wedding.
In 1712 Bergonzi sold his first instru-
ment and was handsomely paid. In
the same year the youngest son of the
great maker took i'll and died. The
death was such a blow to the old max
er that he could not work as before
and had not his former success.
About half year later Stradivarius
bought a magnificent piece of wood,
of which his most famous violins,
those from 1712 to IT'S, were made.
His former enthusiasm returned and
he became all but inspired. In 1712 he
made but one violin, which pleased
him more than any of his others, and
this he decided to retain, partly in
memory of his son. Bergonzi was
equally pleased with the instrument,
and decided to purchase it as we'd
ding gift to his bride. The master re-
fused to listen to either Bergonzis
proposals or his prayers, and declared
that he would keep the violin with
him to the last as compensation fol
his lost son, for it was his master
piece.
Clema, who had been the instru-
ment, gave Bergonzi no peace, and
made the demand that either she
should have the violin or there would
be no wedding. In the year 1713 Prin-
cess Youssoupoff offered a large sum
of money for the violin, but the mas
ter was not tempted. One morning
the door to Stradivarius' chamber, in
which he kept his cherished treasure.
was broken and the violin gone. The
master was inconsolable and all
search was unavailing. Bergonzi sus-
pected Clema, and the old confidence
between them gradually disappeared.
1t was not long before their relations
were broken.

Tennis is increasing in popularity.
Probably one reason for this In that
the girl who plays golf can seldom
dress the part attractively or retain
her trimness long upon the links II she
plays a tolerably good game. Tennis
toys are distinctly fetching. The smart
tennis gown may be made of one Of
the coarse linens that come in a dog
en- natural shades. It may be of pique
or percale. Of chambray, Of lawn or
even Of pongee. 1t Is cut low in the
neck and finished with a round or q
sailor collar of white or some contrast
Ing material. The sleeves come to the
elbow. The gown may be a one piece
affair. but ordinarily 1t has a sep
arate blouse and skirt. The blouse is
generally cut on peasant lines. There
Is a patent arrangement by which a
gore is set under the arm that gives
plenty Of play to that member. The
skirt is cut moderately short for con.
venience.
The gown illustrated here was of
pale blue linen trimmed with white.
The bodice was fastened at the left
with large buttons. which were con-
tinued on the panel on the front of
the skirt A sailor collar, closing in a
point In front. and turned back cuffs
finished the blouse. A white chip hat
trimmed with plumes, a rather more
elaborate chapeau than most tennis
girls choose, was worn with this frock
The costume would be equally suitable
for walking. boating. croquet and golf.
In fact 1t is a good all round outdoor
dress.

The children are given a good ele-
mentary education. as we'll as being
taught several trades. such as carpen-
try. drawing. domestic science, shoe
making. basketry, agriculture and dali

COTTON ACREAGE
BE REDUCED
IN 1918
SPREAD OF BOIL WEEVIL FORCES
FARMERS TO LOOK TO OTHER
CROPS FOR MONEY.
Special to The Ne10S.

Special to The NeloS.
Jackson, Miss, Dec. 27.-State and
! Federal agricultural experts employed
in Mississippi are unanimous in the
conclusion that there will be a decid-
ed reduction in cotton acreage during
the coming crop year, some of the es-
Inmates of reduction being as high
as 10 per cent.
Commissioner Blakeslee of the de-
partment of agriculture and commerce
thinks that it is bit too early to
make an estimate of cotton acreage
reduction, but he agrees in the con-
clusion that it will be materially re-
duced.
The steady spread of the boil wee
vii is of course responsible for the
continuance Of Mississippi's agricul-
tural evolution, and the heaviest acre
age reduction during the next crop
year will be in the central and east
ern counties, where the farmers we're
hard hit by the ravages of the pest
during the past year. Many of the
farmers in these counties would not
believe that it was impossible for them
to raise cotton in accordance with old
methods, and paid no attention to the
advice so freely given by crop experts.
Statistics from interior towns in this
territory, showing cotton receipts far
below those of former years eloquent
ly tell the story of their perverseness
In a number of the southern coun-
ties farmers are making preparations
to go in for truck farming on much
larger scale than in former seasons.
This branch of agriculture is, of
course, hazardous. 1t means big prof
its IL the farmers happen to hit 1t
right, and weather conditions are good,
and it means correspondingly heavy
losses If late spring and bad wealth
er prevent them from getting their
products to market while fancy prices
prevail.
