A MONG the women of Philadelphia who
n have won special recognition in rather
unusual fields is Dorothy Johnstone-Baseler
harpist.
Mrs. Baseler lives in an artistic home in
the attractive suburb of Cynwyd. She is
an ideal hostess and her home reflects the
charming personality of its mistress. The
music room, with the famous harp, piano
and pictures of musicians and artists, is
quite naturally the center of attraction.
And if a caller is especially favored she may
be given the privilege of watching Mrs.
Baseler's skilled hands finger the strings of
her harp and hear her play just for you.
Mrs. Baseler was asked her opinion Of
women who give up their study of music
after marriage. She said
"Any woman who discontinues her music
after she is married deliberately sacrifices
one of her greatest charms Why women
consider music as most desirable ac-
complishment before marriage, but some-
thing they can neglect afterward does not
seem clear. Taking care of a home and
family is the excuse of many, but do they
ever think that in addition to having
house in perfect order. displaying taste and
planning for the comfort of the family the
wife and mother can create an atmosphere
Of good cheer and refinement by administer

and soul, by producing or fostering music

Edmund Schuecker, of Vienna, the cele-
brated harpist, was Mrs. Baseler's master
and to him she owes much Of her success.
especially as teacher. For in addition to
her work at st. Luke's and the Epiphany
every Sunday morning and afternoon and
in other churches on Sunday evenings, as
we'll as concert work, Mrs Baseler has a

No Excuse for Married Women to Discontinue

Philadelphia and more than 200 in New
Itrk.
The harp is one of the oldest musical in
struments known. It Is pictured in va
rous forms on Egyptian tombs. 1t was
the favorite music of the Hebrews, while
the many references to the music of the
harp in the Bible are familiar to every one.
The first pattern of the modern harp
was found in German and Anglo-Saxon IL
Eliminated manuscripts of the ninth GEN.
tury. 1t is to Sebastian Erard that credit
must be given for making from this old
pattern the modern harp. He gained a
triumph in Paris in 1886 by adopting a
fork mechanism and pedal attachment
by which the strings may be raised half
or a whole tone in pitch. Today the finest
harps in the world are made in America.

THE GOOD HEALTH
QUESTION BOX
By DIR. JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG
Infant Stools

of young infant? l.. M 5.
The color Of normal stools from children
fed on cows milk is yellow, but not so
bright yellow as the stools of the breast
fed child; on standing. exposed to the air,

tense.
Lupus

Thirty-two cards, OF the deck are used |;
these are usually sorted out beforehand.
When the players at the head table have
finished their game, they ring a bell or
otherwise give a signal and the winners at
the head table retain their places, while
the losers move to the last table. But at
the other tables 1t is the winners who
move. Thus the winners at each table
move up one. When play is finished the
scores are counted up; those with the

Believes Streets Are Safer.

Lieut.. A j. Headley. head Of the traffic
squad Of the police department. this morn
ing said he thought the campaign OF pub
licity in an effort to make the streets
safer has accomplished much good.
Il have noticed a great improvement in
the movement OF automobiles" he said.
Speeding has decreased and drivers seem
to be exercising more care than hereto-
fore"
Lieut.. Headley says members Of the traf-
hc squad are troubled with Philadelphia
and New York motorists. In those cities.
he stated. there are no speed laws, and
the number OF one-way streets in them has
the effect Of confusing motorists when
they come here.
One of the things with which we have
to contend with is the nonresident mo-
torists." said the lieutenant, lis the mat
ter OF passing street cars and cutting cor
ners. On the one-ways streets of New
York and Philadelphia automobile drivers
are PERMITTED to pass to the left Of the
cars. while here they are required to
come to a stop while cars are taking
on and dischargfng passengers
The result is he added, that the
difference in the regulations is confus-
ing.
