Mrs. E. A. Bacheder, Musician and Artist, Chats
 Interestingly About Opera, Comic and Grand
 Theatricals and Noted Celebrities She Has Known

her as a star of the first magnitude.
 Few people, I presume, realize that modern comic opera is as much of a novelty as modern grand opera Mrs. Bachelder said. For instance, take The Love of the Three Kings It created a sensation in the grand opera world as nothing in the last decade has done. As a striking similar instance, 'Pom-pom' appeared from the clever pen of Felix, the composer of Madame Sherry and created an equally big furore in comic opera circles A queer thing about 'Pom-pom' is that the plot of this crook play, so to speak, because we always talk about it as a melodramatic comic opera, is built on a plot which Mitzi had stored away in her little brain for years. She told the story to Anne Caldwell, who wrote the libretto, and who is famous as the author of The Nest Egg which Zelda Sears played; 'Chin-Chin,' which Montgomery and Stone made famous, and she Is also the author of Fred Stones new comic opera, Jack O Lan- term
 T have always been interested in mu- sic, all my life," said Mrs. Bacheider "and nothing gives me more pleasure than to be associated with musical peo- pie. Usually when I have the time, try to visit the musical clubs of the cities go to and know the most prominent m,i- sicians; to know how the children of the pub,ie schools are progressing with mu- sic, and what the community thinks of musical affairs. Indeed, believe that one of the most potent factors in the upbuilding of any community is music, and it's splendid influence and it's dem- ocratic mission.'

which Is as much in evidence in the new clothes of this October as it was in the clothes of last autumn. A few minor changes about the sleeves and neck, ana possibly new girdle and the woman who possesses such a suit from other days will find she can wear it well at this time.
 The hybrid garment which is offered by the French designers as something new in the world of clothes, is play on the chemise frock. It is mediaeval- ism twisted into modernity by clever touch The jacket is seemingly made as separate garment, and it is at tached to the skirt without any due re- gard as to whether the two garments go together or not, if one would judge by some of the samples exhibited.
 Ever since the fashion for the one- color scheme from neck to heels was thrown into the discard, the dressmak- CTS have taken unusual liberties in the Joining of clothes at the middle of the body. We wear blue velvet evening bodices with yellow satin skirts; we att tach Roumanian red, embroidered COTS lets to gray duvetyn Slavic skirts; we put jet birdie 12 inches deep, made of sapphire blue crystals, with a sea green tulle skirt that is dripped over munition colored tissue.
 Woe to the amateur!
 A WHISTLER EFFECT The gown which is shown in this sketch is good model for all the jacket and skirt combinations. It shows the way in which chemise frock can be twisted to serve a modern thought.
 The material is dead leaf brown cloth, and the jacket extends into long points at front which are braided with gray silk and held in at a high waistline with a girdle of this silk The collar and cuffs are of Russian fitch.
 Rather a Whistler color scheme, don't you think?

It has appeared in all the papers the past few days, so I decided to get busy at once to see what the Alabama troops need I wrote to Mrs. Screws, as she is at Hampstead, but decided after mail- ing it that it was not speedy enough to find out their requirements. so I tele- phoned Major Watts (Dr. John w. Watts) and asked him. He said they need warm knitted garments of all sorts and I promised to take out a supply next week He also said it would be important to distribute them myself in stead of sending through the Red Cross or an organization if really wanted them to reach the Alabama men. 1 have made a list of about 20 people In Birmingham and I am asking for knit ted garment, if they have one ready, and if not to send me donation of money to buy something. I have called up Alt mans and McCreery's to get prices, which are as follows: Sweaters, with sleeves, s9 or s12; sweaters, sleeveless, s and SC; wristlets, $l25 and s1.5O; sealfs, s2 and S35O
 I am enclosing the prices to each per- son that write so that the sum sent will cover one article. Then I shall at tach an addressed postal card to each article Addressed to the donor), and ask him to write an acknowledgement I want to rush this work just as quickly as possible, as the Rainbow division may be packing off any minute It will be sure way to reach our men, and want particularly to lend my efforts to my adopted state

DRESS AND SUGGESTIONS ANN. r,lsa,-ov.. FOR WOMEN
By ANNE RIT-TENHOUsB
A jacket attached to skirt, and tho combination makes one-piece street frock.


 New York. October o.--It is not difficult to get a satisfying coat suit this season, but tho majority of shops and dress makers lead the tractabie toward one piece frocks. A large number of those who sell clothes realize and admit that the American woman needs coat and skirt for the American climate. It suits her environment, her activities and her method of dressing. but while they ad- init this, they whisper into the ear per suasve and plausible reasons for getting frocks and wearing them under top coat when the weather demands it.
 The reason for this constant persua- sion is the multiplicity of these gar ments in this country. It is said that last year we were governed by the de- sire of France to exploit the gown rather than the suit, because she lacked man power in her tailoring establishments This season, it Is said. that our own de- mand on the man power of the continent will take hundreds of tailors from their jobs and leave women to do the kind of work they are least fitted to achieve with satisfactory results.
 It is not easy to say why a man tailor is always superior to a woman tailor, but the world regards the one as the power and the other as the faulty sup- stitute.
 COMPROMISE BETWEEN STYLES
 Possibly, it was dinned into the ears of the French designers that the Amer ican women wanted jackets and skirts and that they were not entirely enthu- siastic over frocks with topcoats. What ever the inducement was, however, the French designers, and now their Amer ican colleagues have turned out a hy- brid costume that is neither one thing nor the other.
 It Is satisfying, however. It Is a jacket and skirt attached at or below the waist line The jacket effect is short. Natu- rally, it would not work well if 1t were long because then it would merely re- solve itself into Russian blouse over a narrow skirt-a style. by the way,
