The Peoples Music.
From Musical America,

Signs multiply that the New York
public, denied it's outdoor music dur
ing the summer months through the
cupidity Of certain officials. has de-
termined to provide for its own needs.
We read Of ambitious choral perform
ances projected in the public schools.
where, under the direction of several
high minded and capable gentlemen
such as Henry T. Fleck and DR.. Frank
r. Rix, very meritorious presentations
of interesting works are given before
huge audiences; of concert given in
Central park by 5000 volunteers OF
both sexes; Of a strong movement to
make such open air song exercises per-
manent and to enlarge their sphere Of
operations; and Of increased efforts by
the park music committee OF the Music
League Of America to cooperate with
the park department in giving free
concerts during the season. Engaged
in furthering the success OF this last
named enterprise can be found such
artists as Pasquale Amato, Melanie
Kurt, Johannes Sembach. Ernest
Schelling and Giovanni Martinelli. In
the words of Nine. Kurt. the commit
tee hopes to show the city board or
estimate that they themselves ought
to provide for these concerts, make
them a permanent feature Of the city's
summer life and give them the fun
support they deserve"
These clear limitations of popular
discomfort over the bovine stupidity OF
a. few individuals speak we'll for the
musical appetite of the crowd. And
most encouraging is the spectacle OF
several thousand willing-nay. eager
to participate in the music making sub
stituted for the concerts so ruthlessly
curtailed. Once this stage is reached
a great point has been gained. III
demonstrates that in some degree the
much berated populace is beginning to
find itself unsteady. 1t matters little
that the songs they sing are simple
and not always distinguished In the
higher artistic sense. Enthusiasm once
enkindled, Improvement in taste may
be left to take care of itself. And the
enthusiasm is apparently there. II the
generous minded individuals and or
Plantations who are striving to ad-
vance this happy state Of things Will
but persist in their endeaVors. the par

duction of appointments for public

selves called to a severe reckoning oy

hens. Eve was chasing the hens round
and round as fast as he could hop and
the hens were flying around cackling
as loud as possible.
At last Eve made one hop and landed
on a hens back and the other hens
flew over the wire fence into their own
yard. Eve hung on to the hens back
until she flew over the fence too, and
then Eve hoped up to Ethel and into
her lap as much as to say: See. l knew
you didn't want those hens there and
l made them go away!"
Ethel picked Eve up, went into the
house and told her mother about 1t
and Ethel says she knows that Eve un-
derstood all she had told her and that
she did drive the hens away.
Anyway, the hens have never come
over into the yard since and If they see
Eve anywhere in sight they run and
hide as fast as they can. Edward says
he thinks Eve is a better watch dog
than Eric which makes them alleiaugh.

speaking Of closets, it is we'll to re-
member to empty the one that belongs
to the spare room, so that 1t will be
ready to receive the guests belongings.
Bureau or chiffonier drawers should
also be left empty, for a guest should
never be made to feel that he or she
is in any way mountaineering the
household.
THE writing table or desk, which is
an almost necessary adjunct to the
spare room, should be supplied with
stationery, pencils, pen and ink, or If
one lives out Of town, it should further
contain time tables. boat schedules,
and, If possible, picture postcards Of
some beautiful spot in the neighbor-

SLEEPY Time TALES.
Tip Runs AWAY.

iiP AWAY
Once upon a time Tip went to call
on his city cousin in the park. Baby
John had come to the park in his baby
coach and Tip perched on the top and
rode with him. A great many people
stopped to talk with nurse about them
as 1t looked so funny to see Tip rid
ing with a baby. When they reached
the park Tip ran off and nurse didn't
pay much attention to him as he al
ways came back in time to go back to
the house with them.
When Tip reached his cousins he
found him ready to go and visit some
cousins in the country and Tip started
along with them and forgot all about
baby John. The squirrels ran along
with them along the road as happy as
possible, and at last reached the home
of their country relatives. Tip had
grown so fat no one knew him at first
and they invited him to visit with them
for a while. Tip thought he would so
when the others went home Tip
started.
When 1t came time for nurse to go
home with Baby John she called and
called for Tip. but no little Tip came
and she had to go home without him.
Baby John cried for his little pet so
hard that his father said he would see
what he could do to find the squirrel
couldn't find him.
Although he called and looked every
where he didn't find Tip and he
started for home when he met a po-
liceman whom he thought might keep
him, for nearly everyone knew Tip,
because you know, he had lost the
tip of his tail.
The policeman said he would look
about and thought he could find him.
The very next day the policeman
had day off and he went with his
little boy out into the country to look
for spring flowers. AS they were look
ing for these, who should come run
ming up and jump on the policeman's
shoulder but Tip. So they carried the
squirrel home to Baby John and now
they are very happy again.
Tip says he is never going to run
away again and the policeman says he
is going to watch and see that he

Eve and the Garden.
Once upon a time the Three E" chill
dren started to have a garden. Edward
dug the ground up and Edna planted
the seeds while little Ethel brought out
her watering pot and nearly drowned
the seeds before they had a chance to
grow. Edward thought 1t was best to
put wire fence around the garden so
that Eve, their pet rabbit, would not
be able to get in and spoil 1t.
Ethel said she was going to go right
out and tell the rabbit that she must
not go into the garden, not even once
and that night at supper she said she
knew Eve would do just as she had told
her for she knew she was sure she I'M
derstood what she said.
In a few weeks nearly everything
was growing fine in the garden and
Edward was kept busy digging up the
weeds. Eric didn't seem to think the
garden amounted to much and 1t was

Safety Not First!
From st. Nicholas.

From ST. Nicholas.
Our present day civilization can
boast Of many good and wonderful
things, but safety IS hardly one Of its
blessings. The ancients seem to have
moved about in a paradise of safety
when we compare the simple condi-
tions Of their life with our own COM
pick and dangerous environment. The
very richness of modern life makes the
world a dangerous place in which to
live. The figures showing the number
of deaths from violence in recent years
is appalling. Last year. in the United
States alone, $4,000 persons were killed
in accidents OF one kind or another,
while nearly 100000 more were in
jured. About $4,000 workmen were
killed while at their tasks. On the
railroads OF the Country about 10000
persons are killed every year. and 30
times that number are injured. On the
streets and roads, 5000 deaths are
caused b. vehicles, the autolu bile be-
ing responsible for half this number of
victims,

Blanche Sweet in detective photodrama
"THE CLUE"
Beautiful Blanche Sweet makes her
fourth stellar appearance Under Lasky
management in perturbation of Mar
garet TurnbulPs drama, 'The Clue. .
Her previous Lasky appearances have
been in the Lasky-Belasco perturbation
of "The Warrens of Virginia" "Stolen
Goods" and ''The Captive"
In "The Clue, Miss Sweet is the CEN
tral feminine figure and handspring of
motives in a complex and tense detective
play. She is surrounded with wealth and
refinement andapparently protected from
all the troubles of the world; yet she is
overwhelmed by the fact that the man
she loves-a man of highest social stand
ing and integrity apparently COM
mitted murder.
Blanche Sweet has not yet attained
her twentieth year. Now is the time for
her to develop all sides of her genius. In
later years it may be recognized that
certain roles are Blanche Sweet roles
but the Lssky Company has literally not
yet found any field of dramatic interpre-
tation, at all possible for woman of her
years and physical appearance, which
she does not seem capable of entering
with unqualified success.

There was no parade, brass band music

though the game was to be one of the
kind that keeps the crowd anxious to
know which side would score. there being
nothing doing until the fourth session, the

Our old catcher, Bobby Rouzer made
his debut in this game and made things
interesting until hit on the arm by bat

He then retired.
For the next three sessions several runs
were scored on either side.
