are some thoughts along the line:
First-Popular songs do not require
any intellect At all. Any little Jingle
will do II set to catchy" music. and
the public. which makes a song pop
ular. Is not educated to appreciate
what is known as real music. Song
writer's abound by the dozen. and
they might write tome of ''pOpu-
lar" songs and still there would
not be as much intellect required
as Beethoven. Mozart or Wagner
expended In writing q single bar.
For over q hundred years about
twenty women have been studying
music to one man. yet there II not
one masterpiece known to publish

female masters In muster

Third-I have recently gone over
forty-seven programmes Of music
given by New York orchestras. and
the total number OF compositions 10

lected gems were written by women?
Not one. The above mentioned
prodigy should introduce her songs

Fourth - Her superior Intellect

are hundreds OF men In New York

their own tailor but give the wife a

Keeping and her own dressmaker bills
and yet they are looking for women

sigh In vain.
ONE WHO ALSO KNOWS.
Dear Madam: I am a woman and.

Woman has not had time to think.

Soon the world vii see a new type

will learn self control and woman

PRIEST Who WE'D
MISS N. N|EHAUS
IS VA|N[Y SOUGHT
Vigorous Efforts to Find
Dennis J. DriScoll Whose
Wife Wants Divorce.

Efforts are being made to locate
the whereabouts Of Dennis ]. DriscolI.
formerly q priest Of the Church of the
Blessed Sacrament at New Rochelle,
| whose sensational marriage to Miss
Marie Niehaus, daughter OF the noted
sculptor. Charles Henry Niehaus. has
| been moved for annulment before Jus.
tice Mills in the Supreme Court at
White Plains.
The priest has dropped from sight.
and though every effort has been made
by the Church and Attorney Henry @.
Heath. the young wife's counsel, the
last trace OF Driscoll ended abruptly
about three months ago. At that time
he was seen riding In Broadway car
In uptown Manhattan. lie was In Or
binary citizens clothing. The man who
recognized him. a New Rochelle friend
81 the Niehaus family. tried to follow
the car and shadow the priest, but lost
him.
The report that DrIscoll had again
entered the sanitarlum at Mount Hope,
Baltimore. where ne was confined for
some time before his startling marriage
In December. 1911. was found to be false.
Attorney Heath said to-day that The
Mount Hope officials knew nothing OF
Driscoll's whereabouts since his first de-
parture from that institution. Other
sanitariums have ben searched without
avail. One report had II that the priest
had entered q monastery to do life long
penance, but the Church records hold no
account OF such an act.
In the absence OF Driscoll. Justice
Mills granted the right OF service by
publication. Papers were also served
to-day on Frank =. Whalen. a real es-
tate dealer at No. 10 Park Row. and q
brother-in-law of the priest. This was
a matter of form as Whalen and his
family are as much In the dark az to
| DriscOll's whereabouts as any one. they
contend. 1t will take sixty-two days be-
fore service by publication can be con-
sidered accomplished. whereupon Jus
tice Mills will take into consideration
the petition for annulment OF the mar
riage.
This action Is based on the ground
that Driscoll was a lunatic at the time
Of his marriage and thereafter. Much
documentary evidence and the deposit
tons of members OF the clergy associat-
ed with the former priest will be offered
to support the claim. 1t will be contend
ed that Miss Niehaus was carried away
by the need OF n sympathizing friend
and adviser during troubles In her FAM
lily and that ten days after the marriage
she left Driscoll and has had nothing to
do with his since.

Week End invitations.

A great deal of courtesy is required
from those who accept Invitations to
house parties or for a couple of weeks
stay with friends. There are too many
who forget that by making themselves
agreeable they stand much greater
chance Of being favored with many
such Invitations. They take for grant
ed anything pleasant that comes and
decline to make return in the way
of giving as little trouble as possible.
and more especially in doing every
thing. possible in assisting a hostess
in her entertaining.
To demand great deal at any re-
sort is to show that one is not really
accustomed, to very much at home, in
stead of being proof that the OPP
posite is the case. The person who
finds fault with not only the food, but
with surroundings generally. the wealth

Good
form,
Small obs.rvanees of Society.

SSSsSs|s
While there are many small observ-
ances of the rules of society. some
need but little consideration. while
others. seemingly Of almost no impor-
tance, take their place as a necessity
and their observance marks the differ
ence between those who know and
those who do not the proper thing"
to do.
Among these the apparently simple
matter Of learning never to stare ut
those passed in daily going about is
perhaps one of the easiest yet most
neglected. 1t is exceedingly poor taste
to turn about staring ut any one after
passing; also to look with any evidence
of strong interest at deformed or
otherwise crippled person met at any
time or place. Such as these are ex-
quisitively sensitive, and to stare at
them or to make remarks. even if in
low tone, is the height Of impoliteness.
To he impolite is to be rude; rudeness
is evidence of lack Of good breeding;
therefore it is breach of etiquette to
let any one that is lame or in any way
afflicted bodily feel that he or she is
being commented upon.
Another breach that Is very often
committed without the realization of
its impropriety is the pointing at OBJ
jects when passing along crowded
thoroughfare. To walk abreast when
on crowded street often gives incon-
venience to passersby. Therefore it is
incorrect. as the perfectly bred and
innately polite person makes it an i'm
perltive rule never to Inconvenience
anybody. The man who steps aside
for a conductor or any official that is
pursuing his duty is the well bred man.
He does not stop to think of his own
social position, but follows the proper
instincts of propriety and politeness
by not hindering the person who is
about his business.
A lady bows first to man, thereby
showing him that she chooses to recog-
nize him. II by any chance she fails
to do this man may quickly see that
it is not intentional, and he should not
take offense. In meeting it is consid-
cred better form to turn and walk, II
but few steps, with friend in the
direction he or she is going rather than
to stand where the sidewalk may be
,obstructed. In fact, it requires all the
smaller. apparently insignificant things
to make life in crowded place worth
while at all. There is so much traffic,
so many people. all bent upon their
own especial errands. that to forget
and stand in the way. to stare or to
talk loud and to point are all breaches
to be avoided.

ers.
A flower fringed grass walk is al
ways pleasant feature. but such q
walk must be laid with care. Unlike
gravel walks. which should have con-
cave surface, grass walks and steps
must be level. and this means perfect
drainage-a most important item, for
if badly drained walk of this kind
would be a source of Inconvenience aft
er heavy rains. On sloping ground ter
races are necessary. They require the
same care that one would devote to a
well kept lawn. but no more. once the
effect is secured.
There are few steps of this kind in
America. but they abound in English
gardens There is no reason why they
would. not remain green throughout
the entire year in some sections of this
country. and they can be easily substi-
tuted for the unsightly stone steps or
ragged dirt steps which are common.

Many practical and enterprising
