necessary In the rendition of such
compositions as those OF Bach and
Handel In these and similar works
the composer produces effects by
structural and contrapuntaI treat
ment; quantity, rather than quality
OF tone and fire shading, becomes an
essential element.
In contradistinction to the rugged
school Of choral music in which tonaI
sorority and breadth of rendition are
the important features, there exists
another, a more fragile and delicate
art. in which delight is found in the
hnlshed and polished phrase.
such an art suggests the aura rath-
er than the object. 1t wells itself in
atmosphere and fingers in the
shadow, the early dawn and the star
light. 1t is shy, repressive, unob-
trusive. far from vanity and ostenta-
tiOn, and evokes rather than compels
the mood. Music of this description
is the especial feature on the pro-
grams of the Motet Choral Society.
The programs of these concerts are
not alone confined to the scholarly
form of the Motet. with its fine inter-
pretative possibilities. Freer forms

compositions of greater length. the
difficulty is to find inspiration
throughout 1t may be more artistic
to give portions of a work that are
interesting and inspirational, than the
entire work for the mere sake of con-
tinuity.
The effects Of lighting are also dis
tinctive and unique. Music makes

vision often disturbs and interferes.
The glare Of high lights becomes an
irritant to the inner vision Of both

is cut extremely narrow in compliance
with the latest dictates of cloth con-
servation, while the coat Is medium in
length and belted with a soft sash Of
black satin. This suit is appropriately
accompanied by a tiny black panne
turban studded with squares of jet
and adorned with two opulent para
disc plumes.
In the first act of "Mary's Ankle"
Irene Fenwick appears in a naively
simple little coat dress, with the
part of the costume which mas
querades as a coat made of Joffre
blue velvet, collared with white
wash satin, fastened in the Rus
sian style with many tiny blue bone
buttons The skirt is of gray broad
cloth and a clever little hat of the
broadcloth is faced with Joffre blue
velvet. Gray shoes and hosiery and
a rather large bag of blue velvet
trimmed with tarnished silver braid,
add to the daintiness of the ensem-
Bile.
The second act of this sparkling
comedy is signalized by Miss Fem
wick's appearance in a charming
frock of mauve georgette made on
the simple, girlish lines most an
proved for our innocent young in
genues. And it's pretty hard to
look unsophisticated in such a
worldly tint as mauve. A large.
dropping brimmed hat of shirred
georgette is adorned with a mauve
rose, the like of which was never
seen on any rose bush, as the va
riety is indigenous to Fifth avenue

vary from the loose hy-away en-

under brim of the hat just an inch
from where the crown rests on the
hair.
Some of the smartest coats have
long wooden scarfs of the same ma

Soutache braid is in again-ver,

Naleska Suratt's gowns are synony-
nous with a certain exotic smartness
which emphasizes her orchid-Iike
beauty. Everything she wears strikes
this pianissimo note Of almost orient
al sumptuousness.
As that strange flower Of the Win
ter Garden, The, Purple Poppy" she
wears a wonderfully draped Bengal
gown OF tan chiffon velvet brocaded
with huge satin chrysanthemums in
the same tone. The irregular tunic
Is edged with a two-inch fringe of tan
chenille. A tiny pill box toque of tan
velvet and the famous purple poppy,
which is big blossom of violet satin,
complete the picture. When Miss
Surratt makes her entrance she is
Sheathed in an utterly admirable
wrap Of kolinsky lined with peacock
blue velvet

looks as though CalIot must have got

OF particular interest is a Jeanne
