THE tall woman IN particular is ad-
vised by halrdressers to pay spe-
ciaI attention to her couture. as her
height seems to accentuate any mis-
take that may be made and to reveal
defects that are not so apparent in the
case of her shorter sister.
First. there IS the line of the neck to
be studied with great attention. Should
this be very short and without that
graceful. swanl!ke outline which IS
sometimes the fortunate endowment
OF the tall woman. then the couture
should be arranged at a medium
height. just below the crown of the
head This style of couture often
gives greater dignity to the short
rocked woman than one dressed quite
low at the back.
At the present moment there is a
charming arrangement for the tall wO-
man whose lines from the back of the
hair TO neck are not as perfect as might
be wished.
This arrangement is in the form OF
the tOrsade. a loosely twisted and
waved couture on the lines OF the fig
ure s The summit OF the torsade
shows from the front of the hair,
which is also waved. and the general
l!Ehtness and yet CompaCtness OF the
couture seems 10 conceal any defects
in the line OF the neck.
Perhaps one of the most important
points in the arrangement of the Golf
fuFe for the tall woman that must re-
ceive careful study is the shape of the
profile. The retrousse nose demands q
very different style Of couture from
the aqu.Iine, and the present low style
of hairdressIng, becoming a it may be

A mighty sensible plan, Mrs. House
wife. for at this time meals may be Of
a more informal character and there is
more unoccupied space in which TO

Then again the orderly woman's soul
revels in a systematic arrangement Of
this sort. But before plunging into our
subject-redecorating the home for
vinter-let me say a word about over
done orderliness.
Neatness Is a virtue. appreciate its
value as much as the overtidy woman,
but do think there are many house
wives who are overparticuiar in this
way. ] have in mind a certain woman
whose home is a poem in color schemes.
Every room IL furnished 10 the minut-
cot detail in period furniture. When
you enter room your soul IS satisfied.
and you think What a charming place
10 rest and dream in" But the JOY
never comes to pass, because the woTn-
an who owns all these things worships
orderliness more than comfort and
cares more for her furniture than she
does for her family's we'll being.
This undue sense OF orderliness
makes every one feel ~ at ease who
enters this home. One would hesitate
before moving a chair out of place
even II one had something important

Where Music Comes From

New York Mail: "a musical authority
says that amazing signs of musical
progress are now apparent in AmerI-
ca" No doubt-but sometimes it ap-
pears to the Office Window that the
musical impulse is working the wrong
way In this Country-that is to say,
from top down instead of from the bot
tom up. Great composers and must
clans nave always sprung from people
who had a folkmusic. In Germany, in
Italy, in France, in Hungary, it has
been so. Long ago, when the common
people of England were instinctively
musical, England produced the great
est composers. When England began
to get it's musicians, and to AXE it's
musical standards from the continent,
the popular music was shamed out of
existence, and the race of English mu-
sicians died the death. To some extent
the same Is true in this country. A
hundred years ago singing and playing
were spontaneous among our people,
and we had a glorious race of hymn
Writers-hymnology being then the ma
ttonal expression OF the musical genius
OF the country. When we began going
to Europe for ~virtuosity the native
music failed, except among the negroes
and the Indians. n they will probably
supply the basis of whatever charac-
~teristic music the country ever pro-
duces. The symphony orchestras and
other musical developments of the day
are an excellent means of cultivation,
but the blood and substance of the
American musical genius. If we ever
possess it, will ave to come from the
people.

evening skies of January and will be
bright objects Of the midnight hours.
Mars. the red wandering star, will be
east Of Saturn. Away out beyond
Mars. not visible to the unaided eye,
is the outer sentinel of our solar sys-
tenn, the planet Neptune. That planet
was discovered because of it's influence
on Uranus, the seventh planet from
the sun. Neptune pulled Uranus out
of It's unusual orbit and that lead to
the discovery of Neptune.
That fact constitutes an unanswer-
able argument, tending to prove that
the planets affect our earth and u
weather. y
A very unusual planetary event will
occur about Jan. q. Seven planets
and the sun will be in line. One effect
will probably be seen in a large in
crease Of sunspots. The earth, Mars,
and Neptune will be one one side of
the sun while Mercury, Venus, Jupiter
and Uranus will be on the opposite
side of the sun. These positions are
called conjunctions.
The ancient Egyptians, Babylonians,
Ninevites, etc. regarded the planets
as gods. creators of life and the rulers
of the destiny of man. The earth was
not counted az one OF the gods and
therefore it does not begin with a
capital letter while all the planets, the
ancient Gods, begin with capital let
ters.
Those ancient people knew more
about the universt than we moderns
are inclined to give them credit for.
Some of the recent discoveries in
astronomy would do credit to those
scientists Of the distant past but we
are too selfish to give them credit for
what they knew.

of the King, by the cathedral choir.
There will be a short programme OF
Christmas carols md the usual cho-
raj evenSong, with a brief address to
the children by Dean Bowling.
The Coming Of the King, a cantata
Tor Christmastide, is really in
oratOrio form, and is, reputed one Of
the finest pieces of scoring ever done
by an American composer. Dudley
Buck has written a great number OF
sacred and secular pieces, but the tril-
ogy of which The Coming Of the King
is the first part is conceded to be one
OF his greatest compositions.
In the selection of the text DR..
Buck vas judicious. The words of the
book tell the story Of the coming Of
Christ more commercially than does the
llbrettO Of The Messiah, or the Christ
mas oratorio. Beginning with the an
cent prophecy that was handed down
through centuries in Jewish tradition,
h theme is elaborated, then passes
to the annunciatiOn, the vision Of the
shepherds, the coming Of the three
kings Of Orient, and the questioning
of Herod, then the alteration of the
Holy Babe as he lay in his manger.
The organ accompaniments Inc solo
numbers arc redOlesCent Of the spirit
Of Christmas. All through the score
the composer has WOven melodies Of
old carols. and the ever familiar
Adestes Fideles. The March Of the
Magi Kings is original, and is finely
written for male chorus, while the
declamatory opening solo of the
prophecy is full of promise of what
is to follow.

thirty voices. The s~oloists for Sun
