PIANIST SCORES
TRIUMPH HERE
Mischa Levitski, with New
York Symphony, Charms
Audience at Belasco.

Mischa Levitski is a bright star
in that new school of boy pianists
who are making musical history in
America
He is only 20 years old. but his
knowledge of his art seems of two
score years. He must have been
born with the gifts of a great
pianist for though still hardly more
than a boy he is a master. 1t is
customary of pianists OF 20 to say:
Great promise" OF Levinski it must
be said he already has filled his
promise
Levitski's opportunity yesterday
at the BcIasco Thester was the
Saint -Saens Concerto to Piano with
Orchestra in G Minor" Levitski
was surrounded by the Symphony
Society of New York. with Walter
Damrosch conducting. The setting
was perfect for a master effort, Lew
itski arose to the occasion and the
result was a triumph.
Some believe the greatest musical
combination yet devised by man is
the Grand piano and the symphony

Damrosch did much to strengthen

The symphony was Mozart's n g

THE MODEL WIFE
BY DOROTHY DIX
THE WORLDS HIGHEST PAID WOMAN WRITER

'The difficulty of being a model
wife" said a woman the other day
'is that in order to please your hus-
b1nd and live up to his expecta-
tlons, q wife must always be a this
years model Last years model wife
doesn't go with him
1T would be easy enough to be
a model wife if a man continued to
be satisfied with the model that he
picked out, and il he would settle
on the particular line of charms
and virtues that he desired in his
wife and stick to specifications. But
he doesn't.
He gets tired of the very quail
ties that caused him to select the
particular woman he did for a wife.
just as he gets tired of the shape,
size and color of his old automobile
and wants to trade them in for
something that's fresh and shiny with
red paint and get all the new-fangled
alleged improvements.
That's why the job of being a wife
in these days is about the most haz
ardous undertaking a woman can 20
into. She can't settle down and de-
velop her talents along any one line
because she never knows when her
husband is going to demand that she
shall be something entirely different,
and want her to change from being
a limousine into a jitney, or convert
herself from being a titney into a
limousine. so TO speak. or to install
a new set of gears in her mental
makeup, or to shift from low speed
to high.
Suppose when a man was poor and
required a car in his business he
went out and bought a strong mo-
tor truck, out of which he got faith
full service for fifteen or twenty years,
and at the. END of that time. wher
he had made a fortune largely by
the aid Of the truck. he suddenly
became disgusted with it and want
ed to send it to the scrap heap
because it was heavy and cumber-
some, and wasn't a stream line rae
ing car We'd think him. crazy.
, yet that's about the attitude thou
sands of men take towards their
faithful old yves as they approach
middle age. When the man was
young and poor, and necded an able
bodied working partner he married a
girl who was in the motor truck
class. She wasn't show window OF

lust about the kind of a model wife
that her husband wanted.
But when he gets to rolling gaily
down Easy street and observes the
slim, sassy-looking. freshly painted
and satin-upholstered lady roadsters
that are breaking the speed regula-
tions as they pass him by, he gives
wife the once over. and heaves a
sigh to think he has got to jog along
with that old 1900 bus for the balance
OF his days unless death or divorce
kindly removes her
She was a good enough model in
her day. Useful, reliable and depend
able. He doesn't know what he would
have done without her. and he
doesn't know what he is going to do
with her. She has been a model wife
IN her day, but what he wants is a
this years model
He'd like her to be young and
slender. with a willowy figure and
the trick of dressing so that she
makes people rubber at her on the
street. He'd like her to be over
moving with NivaCiUy and high spir-
Its, and for her to have shining eyes
and red lips that are always smil-
ing. He'd like her to be witty and
humorous, sympathetic and under
standing and be one of the feminine
spell binders who keep a man per-
petually interested-one of the
women who are a sort of personally
conducted Arabian Nights entertain
ment.
That's this years model Of a
wife, you know. a woman who is
a combination of a clothes rack on
which a man can hang imported
frocks, diamonds, pearls and pub
licly display how successful he has
been; a dancing partner, a claque
that applauds him and keeps his
vanity soothed, and a Scheherazade
who keeps him continually guessing
where do we go from here.
But, alas, you can't convert a
1900 model wife into a 1920 wife
any more than you can change your
battered old gasolene wagon into a
satin lined sedan. She got that
paint rubbed off of her during the
long years that she was doing hack
rides. She broke a spring or two
when she was helping her husband
carry the heavy load of debt he as
,sumed when he went into business
for himself. And In her day neither
women nor cars were self starters
80 there you are. You can't
blame the man altogether for cast
ing a wishfuI eye on the enhancing
new models. Neither can you help
dropping a tear on the old model of
which a man was so proud when
he got it. and that has given him

So many Of the aches and

what they needed.

1t is by encouraging q ricH.

the body that Peruna allays the
inflammation and congestion and
produces health in the mucous lin

which for forty-fIvC years has been

IN all its forms, regulates the di-
Ecstive organs and helps eliminate
the wastes and poIsons resulting

foetid matter may frequently find

The experience OF Mrs. Albert

Peruna is accomplishing for the
