How a Cornish

When King A1ymer ruled over
ancient Cornwall there came to the
shores of his kingdom one day for
eign ship, whose only cargo was a
company of young children Among
these was Horn, the son of Allof,
King of Sudenne, who had been kill
ed by Saracen pirates. The prince
with the other children was turned
adrift at sea.
Almer had. compassion upon the
unfortunate children, and reared
them as his own, thus providing play
mate for his only daughter, Rymen-
lid. The princess was near the age
of Horn, and the two became as
brother and sister.
AS they grew older the friendship
developed into a deep love. The dis
covery that Horn had won the heart
of his fair daughter reused the anger
Of the king. He banished the prince
and bethrothed Rymenild to King
Mody.
The unhappy princess made every
effort to delay her marriage, hoping
that Horn would return to save her
from King Mody.
But upon realizing this. King Aylmer
lost patience, and sent for Mody to
come and claim his bride immedi-
ately.
AS the time drew nearer and nearer
to her wedding day, Rymenild spent
many weary hours praying that Horn
might not return too late.

"It is very good looking, quite the
proper thing for a hostess to wear at
her luncheon party" I said, pfctur-
ing how lovely Miss Langdon, with
her reddish-brown hair and brilliant
complexion, must have looked in it.

you may be there before thou
thinkest." Then noticing that the
wine in her jeweIled cup was IN
touched, the pilgrim continued: MAY
I be SO bold as to offer a toast ?"
The princess smiled her consent,
which changed to a look of startled
surprise as the man, with quick
gesture, contrived to drop a ring into
the cup, saying:
'"Then, fairest of princesses, drink
to Horn of horn" and throwing off
the pilgrims habit he stood revealed
as Horn the warrior.
With a glad cry of recognition Ry-
meniId flew to his side.

1 sat down beside her while she
drew the frock
I'm the first place, it was made of
sttnd-colored crepe Georgette and
crepe meteor. The bodice had a pIas-
iron front of crepe mteor, extended to
fern broad, draped girdle which
came little beyond the normal waist
line. The plastron back was divided
in the centre, the frock buttoning at
the back with small, bullet buttons
covered with the silk.
1.-THE underbodice was of the Geor-
gette, cut gracefully full with long,
kimono sleeves. The latter were fin
ished with bindings of the silk and
tassels to match,

Some here, Claire, 1 want to tell
you all about Isabel I4angdons lun-
cheon party" said Madame, as I was
hurrying through the studio on my
way to see Shelia Maynard about
7ome sketches. I'VE had such a sur
prise, I'm still excited about it.
1--WE were all seated at the table,
which was decked out in the usual
'fixings'-candle shades, favors, floral
centrepiece, ETC., and were having a
lovely time eating the goodies, when
a messenger boy appeared with a tele-
gram for Isabel. She read it to us.
1t was an announcement of her en-
gagement to Billy Weatherly. Wasn't
she clever to break the uews in such
~ original manner?"

etiquette

When French pastry or cake with
soft icing is served, the correct uten-
sill for eating it is the fork.
d. think I must advise you not
to write and ask the young lady to
stop in your city for a few hours
when she passes through on her way
home, in order that you may have
the opportunity for visit with her.
Such a proceeding would be very i'm
proper. The only way consistent with
decorum in which she might stop
would be for some older woman to
act as chaperon for the occasion. This
woman should be known personally
or through mutual acquaintance to
the girls mother. She should meet
her at the train in your company.
and should remain with her through
out her stay. The invitation to stop
should be extended by the chaperon
as well as by you, so that the young
lady would be assured beforehand of
her chaperonage.

.shbel Maria, Countess of Aberdeen,

Carl F7que of Brooklyn, N. Y, gave
a very delightful piano lecture recital
yesterday afternoon before the mem
bers of the Wednesday Afternoon
Musical club at the First Methodist
church. His subject was the music
written for children by the great
composers and he illustrated his re-
marks by number of well executed
groups of piano selections interspers-
ing them with interesting facts con-
corning the composers.
He said it was a debatable question
as to whether or not music had pro-
crossed during the last half century
but there was no doubt but that the
methods of teaching had improved.
People whose musical taste rises
above ragtime want the best music
for children from the beginning. Of
course it is impossible to put begin
ners at once on the classical music
as first the technicalities must be
mastered.
The great composers individually
have done very little in the way of
music, especially for children, but col
lectively they have done a great deal.
the first composer of note who wrote
easy music. There existed between
| this man and Mozart friendly rivalry
and in a spirit of mischief every time
| Clement published a piece, Mozart
| would take the same theme and i'm
prove on it. Clement, who took the
matter seriously, finally put an aft
/ davit on each of his writings to the
effect that the piece was solely his
own composition.
The next composer, Kuk1au, be-
1onged to a different school, following
along the lines of Haydn. He lived
the greater portion of his life in Co
| penhagen and received many honors
at the hands of the Danish king. He
composed much chamber music but it
is his sonatinas that are fresh and
sparkling at the present day. Beetho-
ven wrote a few pieces within the
scope of the ability Of the young. With
Schumann there came a new note
into the music of the day. He was
poetic and romantic and his music is
tinged with his ideals. He was the
dreamer but he set a standard that
was soon followed. Mr.. Fique play
ed a group of lovely Schumann num-
bers followed bv three selections of
Tschaikowsky equally beautiful and
nished his program with a serenade

in Leipsic.

Outlines the prettiest thing about a
wonderful bonnet is the veil, though
few young ladies have found this out.
This hat, one of the most fascinating
for spring and summer wear, proves
it beyond a doubt. The hat, though
very chic, is simply trimmed, and
alone holds no special attraction, but
attach this most charming veil to it
and the combination is irresistible.
The hat is of plain braided straw with
a satin ribbon band. The veil is of
very fine texture and falls in a new
mode from the crown of the hat with
a fullness that is most unusual and
winning. The edge of the veil is
trimmed with dotted design, and the
dots are extremely large for a veil.
