HELPING HAND HINTS
By MARION KIRKLAND Things for Little Girl

q do not think I mentioned clothing in the list of things I had to give away, for I always give such to some one near in need, or else to a mission. Still, I might find some things that may be made over nicely for a little girl. shall try to help little at any rate.
 Mrs. J. B.
 The noble list of things" sent in your letter will be given presently. I empha- size the notice of your willingness to add clothing to the catalog, because we have never before had so many requests for castoff garments of all kinds as load our desk and heart today. We must hold hard and fast to our resolution not to solicit clothing oftener than one quar- ter or whereabouts, but we hail every offer with profound thankfulness. It IS not alone the fugitive Belgian, burned out of house and home and f1eeting wild ly before the invaders who are starving and half naked. could tell you of families, once comfortable and always respectable, in which children cannot leave the house by day or sleep warmly at night for lack of decent clothing and sufficient bed covering. Hoard nothing that could ease in some degree the woes of your fellow creatures.

Whatever is committed to his manage ment is safe, and sure to be rightly ap propriated. One hint as to postcards. Those which have passed through the mails may be made available for distri- button among the boys and girls who desire to collect them, by pasting piece of white paper, rather thick, over the writing upon the back of the card. Do this neatly, trimming the edges, and let it dry. The picture upon the reverse will be "as good as new" and probably give more pleasure than when it started upon it's travels

 And your favorite composer?' asked.
 Bach, of course. I like Beethoven and Brahms. of course, but Bach is the father of them all,' said Mir. Gittleson. There are things to be found in Bach that Bee- thoven never heard of. Who was there before Bach? Palestrina, to be sure, you will answer, and others. but what of them? Who has been since Bach who could compare with him? None. When I began my studies in harmony. MT. Kaun asked me if I knew the Bach Wohlten- peiertes Klavier. I said No, I'm vio- lnist. He answered by saying that whether I was a violinst, a pianist or . singer, if I knew that I was prepared to work
 And your violin?" l asked, What is it?'
 "Ah, now you have made me very happy when you talk about my violin said MT. Gittleson, as pleased as a child as he caressed the case that held the wonder ful instrument. Tt is Maggini of the period of 17O3''
 I remarked that that was a very good period and he quickly said:
 'The 17l5 period is perhaps better, but there is no finer instrument than mine bought it from a London dealer--Anto- nietta, who in turn had purchased it from the Prince of Chimay, whose castle, by the way, was recently destroyed in Belgium by the German soldiers. Our American writer MT. Irwin S. Cobb, has told very graphically of the destruction of the Princes home. You can appreciate how dearly I love my violin, when you realize that there are only about % or 40 Magginis in the world. I own a Stradi- varius, too, but use it very little in this country the climate doesn't seem to agree with it, somehow. Perhaps there are some 300 or 400, maybe more, real Strads in the world today, but the easiest thing on earth to be fooled in is a violin. The Maggini Is 100 years older than the

ly expect the Bohemian to put more fire and passion into interpretation, but such qualities largely exist in the pupil I may as well tell you now that Carl F'lesch is my ideal. It was with him that studied for four years and half. after leaving Auer, and it is to him I owe whatever success I have attained. He is the greatest, the most perfect teacher I have ever known or heard of He thinks very highly of Sevcik, I may say right here. and so do I. I play my Sevcik ex- ercises constantly; in fact, whenever I feel the least out of practice I get my Sevcik and get busy. Fisch has achieved the highest grade of musicianship that is possible for a violinist to attain. He doesn't dwell merely upon technique. He considers 1t only means to an end, but there are so many other things-tone, appreciation. interpretation. He takes technique for granted. It is like paint to the painter. You cannot paint without good paint, and that can be bought so you cannot interpret powerfully and con- vincingly without good technique. and that can be acquired. What does it matter, after all, if one artist plays difficult cadenza more rapidly than another? It is the manner in which it is played that counts. Rubenstein missed great many Of the notes. yet those he played were marvelously beautiful
 And whom do you consider the greatest of violinists?' l asked
 ''As artist or musician? I might ask you in return said Mir. Gittleson. "Carl Flesch is the most wonderful musician I ever knew. He possesses 10 points of the law. As an artist Mischa Elman is pre-eminent, but Fritz Kreisler as violin ist possesses the combination of the two, which makes him perhaps the greatest violinist of them all.''
 Do you crown him King Kreisler, as many do,' I asked laughingly, Fin spite of what the war has done to him and
 Tt hasn't done anything to him. I've heard him play this season and he is mar velous said he, although he was re- ported wounded; nay-'dead."
