Halfdan Jebe is not only a virtuoso
of great ability, but also quite a noted
composer. He is very prolific, and
more than twenty of his small cofnpo-
sitions and several pretentious ones,
among them two violin sonotas, have
been published abroad.
Mr.. Jebe is a Norwegian by birth,
but received his tuition at Berlin and
Leipsig, in the former place under
Joachim, and finally went to Paris to
complete his studies with Massenet.
The combination of these two artists
is unusually attractive, and in several

There is a fair sweet way our feet

There is a garden where the blossoms

That crown the pure of heart who up

But ah! a cruel word may cloud the

And shut the sunshine from that up

A cruel whisper all the blossoms

And cast gloom where erst was
cloudless light,
This cruel word, oh vow YOU will not

Oh, vow that you relentlessly will

To silence what might cost another

That you will say of others only good
And walk this way of higher woman

THE CHATTER OF
FOLLY PEACHTREE

The following Chatter OF Society,
in the Sunday American by Polly
Peachtree, is interesting because of
popularity of several of the young
ladies who have visited Americas:
I'VE have been surprised of late by
so many unexpected marriages that
we ARE on the lookout for more. So
on Monday night last, when Eddie AL
friend came into the theatre just be-
fore the last act and took his seat in
a box toward the front, accompanied
by pretty girl whom few Of the big
audience knew, whisper went round.
rs that Eddie Alfriends wife with
him?" i'c
Some people said, YES" and others
said, Il suppose So" And from then
on the act upon the stage received
scant attention. Women glanced up
ward with curious eyes, appraising,
admiring, taking in every detail of the
dark hair and dark eyes and laugh
Jig face fthe supposed bride" Men
frankly looked and looking, thought:
What a lucky fellow Ed Alfriend
is, to be sure!"
Up in the box Mr.. Edward Alfriend
and Miss Helen McClain, of Spring
field, Ohio, sat, all unconscious of the
sensation they were arousing in the
audience below them. Noting the
many upturned faces, Mr.. Alfriend
bowed and smiled here and there;
thinking it only natural that he should
receive broad smiles of welcome, shot
through with glances of special inter
est, because he had been away several
months, and his engagement to a
stately blonde beauty of Virginia had
been announced during his absence.
Miss McClain may have noticed the
interest expressed by the audience
also-but Miss McClain is a beauty
and great heiress, so she is certain
ly used to receiving attention.
Next day the rumor of Eddie AL
friends marriage had to be denied
again"
The girls who went to Macon for
the leap year ball last week throw
amusing light on what we may expect
at the forthcoming affair with which
Atlanta girls may have an opportunity
70 repay the young men-also to repay
discourtesies, from the accounts afore-
said.
For instance, Dorothy rkwight de-
clares that the most amusing aspect
of the rainbow ball was the plainly
displayed anxiety of the men, as to
whether or not they would be popular
at the affair. The girls, of course,
asked the men to dance, "cut in on
the other girls, and all that
According to Dorothy, the "stags"
who grouped themselves about the
ballroom wore a look of strained anx-
iety or of ''pained pleasure" while they
waited to be asked to dance, instead
Of the well-knwon look of boredom or
superiority such as men usually as
sumo in similar positions.
And who was the beau i the ball?"I

HOUSEWIVES DAILY
ECONOMY CALENDAR
Making the Small Room Large.
BY FRANCES MARSHALL

One way to make a small room larger
Is to have the walls knocked out. one,
some or all of them. Another way Is to
rearrange the furnishings. This is the
more economical way, and often the only
possible way. OF course, 1t does not
make the room actually larger. But it
increases the appearance of size, and it
often gives a really greater space.
The first thing Is to simplify the fur
nishings OF the room. Remember that
a mOnotonous color scheme helps to do
this, and to create an appearance of
space.
Have the walls covered with a plain
paper, in some neutral shade OF tan.
Have the Nhangings at windows and doors
perhaps a darker shade of brown. Let
the rug be a two-toned tan rug, or else
a dark rug in Oriental colorings and
rather indistinCt pattern. Blue will work
in nicely with the color scheme in the
rug.
Now you have a good beginning. De-
pend on the smaller furnishings for the
bright touches of color that give char
aCter to the room.
Have only few pictures and hang
these carefully. A small wall. broken
with window and door frames and clut-
tered with pictures, appears smaller. But
one large picture. or several small ones
we'll grouped make the wall appear
larger.
Now comes the arrangement Of the fur
niture. II there is an upright piano,
space can often be saved by placing it
well out from the wall. with the back
toward the room. Along the back place
seat, cheaply made, but covered with
a cushion in tone that harmonizes with
rug or walls. Hang a curtain OF thin
silk along the back of the piano. Thus
one stretch OF space is occupied by the
piano and seat with a capacity for
two, and at the same time wall space is
saved
Another economical space arrangement
is this: couch can be arranged with
tier of book shelves at one end Of it.
The back Of the shelves can be covered
with denim, and on this a picture or two
OF interest may be tackled.
Leave space in the center Of the room.
Don't put a center table there. Let the
table for books and magazines and read
ing lamp be well toward one side OF the
room.
The lampshade. flowers. books and a
few small and interesting ornaments
should give the color needed in a room SC
furnished.

HOROSCOPE.

Wednesday, May II, 1919.

"eunesuays May IL, 1910.
Astrologers read this as a most un-
fortunate day. Uranus, Saturn, Mars,
Venus and the Sun are all in evil place
until after sunset, when Neptune and
Mercury are in benefc aspect
1t is a day in which to exercise great
caution in all important matters and to
watch the health as well as the mental
condition.
The rule is a threatening one for travel
and change. Extra caution should be
exercised where electric motive power is
concerned. Aviators are held to be in
unusual danger under this rule.
Wise men and women will guard the
speech while this figure governs, as the
impulse is supposed to incline toward
hasty and ill-advised utterance, which de-
feate plans and reveals secrets.
Judgment is believed to be warped
under this sway and it is especially sinis-
ter for lawyers, diplomats and statesmen.
Contracts, partnerships and associa-
tions should not be agreed on today.
which is particularly forbiddlng In all
cases involving persons of opposite sex
1t is a wedding day of i'll omen.
Speculation has a threatening auRury
and mining stocks should be avoided un-
til the planetary government changes.
The evening hours should be fairly good
for newspaper men. Editors and publish
ers may be lucky. The navy also has a
good sign.
Women continue subject to most ex-
acting conditions, which should be we'll
considered, astrologers declare. They are
likely to reveal extremes of good and evil
tendency in the United States. Scandals
may multiply during the remaining
months of the year.
South America appears to offer gain
to actors, musicians and artists during the
coming summer
Persons whose blrthdate 1t is may have
many anxieties, some of which lead to
travel on business that is not success
full. Those who are employed should be
unusually careful.
Children born on this day may be high
strung and quarrelsome. They may re-
quire severe discipline, but they are
likely to be clever.
