beauty. still a believer in the potency OF
melody; but this is rather matter Tor
Generalization than regret. II Is only IN
dividual expression which remains WITHIN
tho boundaries set by aesthetic beauty
which is admirable. There is no excellent
Iawlessness in any art. Mr.. Sibelius IS
a fine musical constructionist, an eloquent
harmonist and a fine colorist despite his
fondness for dark tints. He has done
much but not all of which he is capable
and which his vigor promises. lie Is an
eloquent minstrel of his native land, but
he may yet become moro eloquent. VINO

his song when il shall reach it's fulness OF
utterance. We can fancy how then We
