Yvette Guilbert Gives Her
Last Recital of the,
Season

Nine. Yvette Guilbert gave her last
recital of the season last night at the
Maxine Elliott Theatre. singing the
songs of Jehan Rictus and Aristide
bruant. These were "a la Vilette," )"
Rosa ia Rouge" "L'Apache" and LA
Soularde" for tragedy and Les Quatre
"A lHotel du No 8" for comedy. In
these songs Nine. Guilhert long ago set
her name among the immortals, and the
large audience that gathered last night
listened and mavelled at this wonder
full woman.
Long may she be with US and give to
US the spirit of that France she knows
and loves so we'll! For German bu[tur
Nine. 4vette Guilbert is the true anti
dote.
Verdi's Requiem" was repeated last
night at the Metropolitan before a
large audience. The mass was again
dlracted most admirably by Giulio Setti
and sung with splendid effect by the
opera chorus. All the solo artists were
excellent, notably Miss Braslau and Mr..
Mardones, though both Morgan Kings
ton and Marie Rappold sang with fine
effect
SeaoeI s-uall gave song
recital yesterday afternoon at the
rrlncess Theatre. Her programme
consisted entirely of Scandinavian
songs. of which she gave admirable in
terpretations. Her voice was not
equal to her art.
The recital given by the Flonzalev
Quartet and NJ. and Mile. Longy. under
me auspices u of the Friends of Music, in
lhe hltz-Carlton yesterday afternoon,
brought cut quantity of interesting
music composed by Americans, some of
II quite new and all of it unfamiliar to
most hearers.
Inc "Andante quasi Varianione." bv
Samuel Gardner. hitherto known only
as most promising young violinist
proved most original in conception OF
the new works. 1t is highly poetic and
striking in its thematic material. and
IS Tor the most part resourcefuliy de-
veloped, though there are passages
which seem to show that the young
composer has not yet fully gained con.
troll of his tools.
The first movement of Victor KoIar's
second quartet shows some of the ar.
dent feeling which made his first svn.
phony so delightful, but its Slavic color
is somewhat obscured by an intricate
development which too frequently
sounds brain-spun.
The second quartet, by David STANLEY
Smith, which opened the programme, is
solid and vigorous music in its first
two movements. The last, marked
"elegiaco." in which the composer ex.
pressed his feelings at the news thai
the Germans had captured Antwerp
comes as close to programme music a.
the string quartet can attain. Though
it contains some effective tone-painting
its attempt to suggest the trumpet calls
and the sounds of battle, and especially
its undue length, make it little un.
satisfactory.

struggling young architect, the aged
bookkeeper, the gouty grandfather and
all of the other true-to- tradition types.
AS conceived by Maximilian Foster,
each of the characters was ar interest
ing study; on the screen there is moth
ing to study; one knows as soon as
each type is introduced just what he is
going to say and do. He never is al
lowed TO do anything else.
The picture is elevated from midioc-
ity, however. by the presence of Mar
guerite Clark as Betty Wynne, Richard
Barthelmess as Bayard Varick and
Frederick Warde as old John Beeston,
the grandfather. He is the first gouty
old grandfather we have ever seen who
didn't look as though he were being i'm
personated by the butler
Miss Clark does more with the little
slavey, who becomes lady over night,
than nearly any one else could have
done. We shudder to think what would
have, happened had the part been in
the hands of one of those obvious
young women who believe the only way
to prove to the audience that you have
risen on the social ladder is to drink
your tea out of the saucer, or the
equivalent. Because Miss Clark has
imagination, she takes it for granted
that her spectators may have some too.
Perhaps, after seeing Mr.. Barthel-
mess as young Varick, people will stop
saying "Oh. yes. saw Richard Barthel-
mess in The Seven Swans In our
opinion he is much nicer as modern
lover than he was treading moonbeams
in fairvland with Miss Clark. His work
was one Of the bright spots in the
picture.
The story starts in a poor rooming
house with Betty Wynne as little
girl. who, after the death Of her
mother. is held by cruel landlady.
Mr.. Varick is far too handsome to
have had his rooms put in order by a
person so young and attractive as
Betty The landlady should have at
tended to that herself; but she did not
and so the two Young people fell in
love with each other.
But old Henry Mapelson loved Betty
too, and he resolved that she should be
a fine lady So he fixed up some
papers and palms her off as the missing
granddaughter of John Beeston.
Instead of helping matters along he
makes the young lovers quite miserable
and Betty. is torn between love and
duty at all times.
Each person decides to save the other
and so, imbued with the spirit of self
sacrifice, they all resolve to be un-
happy ever after and then, all of a
sudden things straighten themselves
out.
Something which Mr.. Foster forgot
in his story is a flash of plump in
fant and the title "Another Generation
of Beestons."
A musical satire on italian opera is
called "The Italian Salad" It was
splendid entertainment for those who
understood and almost as good f..
those who took it seriously. The lyrics
consisted of musical terms like Pianis-
smo, Forte, Crescendo. Frizando, Furi-
oso. Agitato, etc. Joseph Mann was the
soloist; he was assisted by the Halevy

Incidents in the Lives of Famous Women
r CHRISTIAN KING OF ENGEasDl
Rv ELOISE FARRINGT

Pope, and knowing that Britain now
had a Christian Queen, and that her
good influence had won many con-
Verts to the faith, decided to send a
mission to the country Of her adop-
ton. Bertha was overjoyed when
20 censored monks, under the leader
ship of the Roman abbot, Augustine,
her husband to receive the mission
aries, but Ethelbert, believing in
witchcraft. refused to grant the
monks an audience in the palace. Ac-
cordingly, he had Augustine come be
fore him in the open air, where evil
spirits would have less power to work
their spells.
Augustine presented the belief OF
the Christians to Ethelbert with great
e1oquence, but as he spoke only Latir
the King couldn't understand. Ar
interpreter translated the sermon, and
while Ethelbert agreed that the alb
bots argument was strong, he refused
to renounce Wooden and Thor.
Bertha was bitterly disappointed
After Augustine had finished speakins
she said to Ethelbert, ''I pray you m!
lord, to give these excellent mer
leave to preach throughout you
kingdom. Though you may not BIZ

consented to be his Queen. inspired
by the thought of bringing Christian
ity to his benighted country.
The Princess Bertha left Gaul
with a large re&irue, including a
bishop, and journeyed to Canterbury,
the capital of Ethelbert's kingdom,
where the marriage was Immediately
celebrated.
Scarcely had the ceremony been
performed when Bertha asked her
husband for a building in which she
and her household might worship
Ethelbert gave her the little ruined
church of st, Martin, built when the
Romans ruled Britain.
There the lovely young Queen, who
had grieved at the thought of coming
to q heather land, found consolation
in her faith. Each day she would
kneel at the altar, and always he1
prayers were that Ethelbert and hi:
subjects might become Christians
Upon several occasions she begged
her husband to come with her tt

change in her husband with GREATEST
joy. She spent more time than
ever in her beloved St Martin's4
church.
One day when she was retuninga
from her devotions she was told that
Ethelbert awaited her in his private
audience chamber. Bertha hasteneda
to him and wasn't at all surprised
when he exclaimed with great fervor:
1T am now ready to adopt your
beautiful faith, my Bertha IbeheveI
the good Augustine spoke the truth.
Let me be made member of your
church with all possible speed"
Tears of gladness filed the Queens 5,
eyes as she threw her arms about
Ethelbert's neck and kissed him, say
ing:
1--WE will send for the abbot that
you may be baptized at once"
The news of the Kings conversion
rapidly spread, and many of his subs
jects followed his example.
Thus Britain became Christian
kingdom through the ceaseless efforts
of Queen Bertha, aided by Augustine
and his monks.
So it was that EtheIbert of Kent
became the first Christian king Of
England.

Young Girls.

'TThis bandeau is extremely smart,
but much too old looking for Julie.
We must. find something more youth

Then taking band of narrow sill
yer ribbon she tied it about jules
head with a small bow and long
streamer ends at the side. The effect
was charming, but Madame said that
the silver was too dead looking"
Hunting about among the ribbons
she finally discovered a piece of blue
and silver tissue ribbon with a silver
picot edge. The blue exactly match
ed the belt on jules dance frock.
Madame arranged the ribbon low
over jules forehead and tied the ends
in small butterfly bow at one side.
This was, by far, the best looking
bandeau and Madame was satisfied
at last.
''Have you silver slippers, Cinderel-
Lar" she asked.
Julie answered that she had.
'"Then your costume is complete
and you can go to the ball and be
happy knowing that you look very
sweet and girlish, and that I'm ex-
tremely proud of my godchild."
Madame left us. Julie turned tC

Care of The Hands

If rubber gloves or loose kid gloves
are Systematically worn during work
hours there is no reason why the
hands should become red and rough,
but if they have a tendency that way
cold cream should be rubbed in each
night and soft chamois gloves dom
ned,
Perhaps this treatment may be ne
cessary only every other night or only
once a week. Some hands redden
and roughen more easily than others,
Just as some skins freckle or burn
more easily than others.
There is nothing like old-fashion-
ed tallow to make the hands milky
white, and the tallow will also feed
the tissues and give hard worked
hands pleasing plumpness, for, be
| it known, only the useless hand is
softly rounded and plump like a
childs, Hands that do work may be
white and perfectly kept.
The nails and finger tips must be
carefully attended 70. for housework
first betrays itself here. A visit te
relaliable manicure once a week
will help a great deal. and the trifl-
ing price should be included among
household expenses.

TRANSFORMATION
CAUSED BY
JEWELRY

After several seasons when out
dooring clothes have been worn
from sunrise to sunset, it is a relief
to find that women may again in
dulge in frills and furbelows, in
flounces and in the truly feminine
frocks in the afternoon and during
the evening. And many of these
truly girly frocks are on the Dolly
Warden order, rejecting the quaint
conceits of the 1880 period. 1t is
with real enthusiasm that the wo-
pale blue and pink mauve and yellow

frilling, fichus and big sashes. Just
the frocks that call for old -timey
cameo brooches, lockets and brace
let's and even the sash pins. And if
one would add the touch that is 60
ing to link her with the picture OF
her grandmother when she was a girl
she will wear the locket, probably of
enamel to match her frocks, suspend

II one thought it rather spoiled the
effect of the lovely cameo brooch
then the black velvet ribbon should
be tied around wrist and let the
locket dangle from it.

Etiquette

Even at a formal dinner it is per-
missible to ask the attendant for a
second glass of water, if he fails to
keep your glass filled.
Mrs. Kit does not matter if you
and your former friend have had a
serious disagreement, you should still
bow to her when you meet her on
the street If she refuses to acknowl-
edge your greeting you need not at
tempt to speak to her again. The
responsibility will then rest with her,
Since you have always called her by
her first name, it would be absurd to
call her by any other now, if you ad-
dress her.

CLOTH OF GOLD

1t is plainly noticeable among the

fashion leaders have not thought it
at all necessary to use cheap and
plain materials. Indeed, in some in
stances the stuffs seem more lavish
than for some time past. To be sure,
they are not at all Haunting. They
hide their gorgeousness under a bush
