WOMAN AND THE ARTS.
Why She ExcsIs In Writing and Not
In Music and Painting.

The average woman possesses u
wardrobe. than does the man. She
can more readily lay aside or suppress
some important part Of her and bring
some contrasting feature into view.
She carries In herself ready wealth
that is more applicable to the story
than to painting or to music. Thus
1t is, writes George NJ Stratton In the
Atlantic Monthly. that in painting and
In music she is to be passed by man
with ease, but in the story, If at all
with greatest effort.
In the minor art of dancing and In
the nobler work Of reproducing the
music of the great composers. as In
acting the characters Of the great
dramatists, there are women of high
and even of highest rank But, to leave
these more interpretive or reproductive
arts, only IN fiction does she approach
the mark of men, for here she must
be counted with the great OF the craft.
And, even should some grabbed. soul
insist that the rare company In which
are George Eliot, Jane Austen, George
Sand, Nine. de Stael and the Queen of
Navarro does not include the one who
is greatest In the guild. yet there Is no
discomfort felt In naming these WON
en- along with Scott and Dickens. Ger
vantes, Hugo and Boccaccio. But speak
Of the other creative arts and we feel
at once the chill. Chaminade looks III

MUSIC FESTIVALS.
They Really Began With the Great
HandePs Works In London.


The, real EZRA Of musical festivals"
begins with the great Handel COM
memoration, with its festival perform
ances,. held In London first from 1874
to 1857 and then again In 1871. Be
fore this there had been music festi-
walls in England. but they were virtual

urally aroused the national pride of
the Germans. who felt that the great
master belonged by birth to them
Berlin first and then other German
cities began to give Handel festivals
on the London plan. and soon the
works of other composers were added
to the festival lists.
So that at the beginning Of the nine,
teenth century several organizations
.devoting their energies to the produc-
ton Of any great work, whether choral
or purely instrumental. sprang into ex-
istence In Germany" Among the old
est OF these and among the most ia
nous to this day are the Vienna Gesell-
schaft der Musikfreunde and the Me
derrheinische Musikfeste. which take
place each year In some city on the
lower Rhine.
The United States has followed the
example set first by the English and
then by the Germans In their musical
festivals. and in several of the larger
cities there are yearly festivals OF this
kind-Eew York Times.
