formed the habit of often coming after
her in his machine, and while he waits
for her he amuses himself by teasing
the boys. Recently one Of the boys re-

to take them riding. "Aren't you ever
going to do it?"' demanded the boy.

the man. "Didn't you fellows know

Wonderful, Persian Shawl.

Mrs. Bernard e. Grace. collector
Of st. Louis. submitted a. rare Per-
sian shawl at the New York Metropol-
itan museum. The owner had traced
it's history back 1853 years. The shawl
is eleven feet by four feet, worked in
long flowing designs Of the palm leaf
and the River of Life with the stories
Of the mosques. The predominating
colors are mellowed garnets and
brown. with alternating sheens of steel
gray and rusty brown. A Washington

said its makeup probably represented
the lifetime of the weavers.

\ ND yet, the music of Debussy is classi-
L u cally precise and firm and knit. There
is neither uncertainty nor mstiness in his
form. His lyrical, shmmering structures
are logically irrefragable. The line never
hesitates, never becomes involved nor lost.
1t proceeds directly. clearly, and passing
through jewels and colors fuses them into
single mass. The music plots its curve
sheerly, is always full of its own weight
and timbre. 1t can be said, quite without
exaggeration, that his best work omits
nothing, neglects nothing, and that every
component element has been justly treated.
His little pieces occupy space as com
pletely as the most massive and impas-
stoned of compositions. 1t is Just because
of their formal purity that they succeeded
in imparting the sensations intended in
them. In the hands of others, in the hands
of so many of Debussy's imitators, his style
becomes confused and soft and unsubstan-
tial. For the fuidity and the restlessness
dominate them, whereas in Debussy these
qualities are controlled by an indomitable
love Of clarity and concentration. For he
is of the race of Moliere and Pascal and
Verlaine. He is of the classical French
traditions in his intolerance of all that is
vague and murky and pointless, in his in
stinctive preference for what is aristo-
cratically temperate and firm and reason
able. Despite the modern complexity of his

spirit, his latter-day subtlety and delicacy
and WEAKNESS, his mundane grace and
finesse, he is neither spiritually soft nor
uncertain. From the very commencement
of his career he was nicely conscious Of
himself. Few musicians have been more
sensible of their gift, better aware Of its
quality and limitations. He had q sureness
of taste, sense of fitness and values, that
was rare and singular. 1t is just the super
position upon a subtle and sensuous nature
of so classical tendency that gives his
music its character. For he could fix pre-
clsely the most elusive emotions, emotions
that flow on the borders of Consciousness,
vaguely, and that most of US cannot grasp
for very dizziness. For him the shadowy
places of the soul were full of light.

4 COMPLEX of determinants made OF
i "A "Pelleas ct Melisande" the most elo-
quent OF all Debussy's works, and his eter-
nal sign. Issuing as he did from the classical
French tradition, abhorring overemphasis
and speciousness and exaggeration, want Of
taste and lucidity, it was ordained that De-
busy should turn upon the excesses of the
Wagnerian music-drama and, fortified by
the knowledge of Rameau's works, oppose
his proper standards. His own deep sense
OF the French term and the possibility Of
It's treatment IN dramatic recitative almost
compelled his revolt TO assume the form of
an opera. Maeterlinck's little play afforded
him his opportunity, offered itself as
unique auxiliary. In itself it is by no means
an insignificant piece Of expression. It has
the proportions, the accent, of the time. 1t.
too, IS full of constant and overwhelming
sense OF the evanescence and fux of things
and establishes thing by fixing it's atmos-
phere. And this "vieille ct triste legende
de la foret" is filled with images-the old
and sombre castle, inhabited by aging peo-
ple lying lost amid melancholxx land and
sunless forests; the rose that blooms in
the shadow underneath Melisande's case
ment; Melssndes hair that falls further
than her arms can reach-that called vital
and profound response from Debussys i'm
aglnation. But it was the figure of Nell.
sande herself that ultimately made him pour
himself into the play and intensity it into
the perfect and poignant thing it is. This
shadowy little drama permitted Debussy to
give himself in the creation of his ideal
image 1t is Melisapde that the music re-
veals from the moment that she rises from,
along the rocks in the mystery of her
golden hair, perhaps from the very moment
that the orchestra begins the work. The
ehtlre score is but what man might feel
toward woman, woman that was his and
yet was strange and mysterious and un-
known to him. There are momeats when
