Fritz Kreisler an
lndefatigable Worker

One Of the most interesting fea-
lures about Fritz Kreisler, who is
making n tour of this country and
who is to visit Harrisburg on the
evening of January at Chestnut
Street Auditorium, is his remark
able versatility. Some of us, how
ever, are familiar with "Ampico"
piano records.
Harold Bauer. the great pianist,
maintains that as great a violinist
as Kreisler is, an absolutely supreme
pianist was lost to the world when
he chose the violin as his instru-
ment. Kreisler's father, a famous
physician and surgeon of Vienna,
urged his son to take music seri-
ously as a career, but at the same
time he has always been convinced
that Fritz had unusual promise in
medicine. AS a matter of fact, Fritz
spent n year studying medicine dur
ing his period of storm and stress
when, after astonishing the world as
a prodigy. he became uncertain
whether he wanted to continue as
n musician. Finally, although he
does not talk about it much, he once
had distinct ambition to become a
painter and, when he was in Paris
studying with Massart, he was also
working at Julien's, the most famous
atelier of its time. There are in this
country several well-known artists
who knew him at this period and,
while they are not sure that Kreis-
Ter would have become as great a
painter as he is a musician, they re-
member him as youth of much
more than ordinary ability and tai
ent.

JERSEY LIQUOR
BILL PREAMBLE
Is COMPLETED
Measure Will Go Before the
Next Session of the
Legislature

New Brunswick, N. j., Dec. 29.-
The preamble of the bill authorizing
the sale of beer and light wines in
New Jersey is now before the pub
lie. State Senator Thomas Brown
Will introduce the measure at the
next session of the state legislature.
He said that the bill itself is not yet
ready for publication.
The preamble sets forth that the
state of New Jersey has not ratified
the eighteenth amendment. doubts
that it was passed in n constitutional
manner and intends to disregard the
Volstead act and pass an enforce
ment bill which will be supreme
within the limits of the state. Sena-
tor Brown said that the theory upon
which Governor-elect Edwards and
his supporters are working is that
the eighteenth amendment gives
equal power. to Congress, and the
State in the enforcement of prohi-
bition and that the congressional en-
actment applies only where there is
no state law in effect.

Necessary as is an evening wrap,
it is generally ar expensive adjunct
to ones wardrobe. OF combination
materials, this need not be the case.
Here is charming creation of apple
green panne velvet, with green and
gold metalized satin, finished with a
generous skunk fur collar. Padded
with two thicknesses of coat padding
and in.terlined with pink satin, this
handsome little garment is a joy to
the wearer. Owing to the combina-
ton of materials and the short
lengths of each required, the good
breadths of two gowns or short rem
nant lengths may be utilized. The
upper portion is merely an oblong
square of the material, possibly two
pieces stitched together to form at
least u one and three-quarter yard
length. The ends are folded over
ur'til they join, and the bottoms are
stitched to form Oriental sleeves.
To this upper the velvet skirt" of
the coat is draped, a cord of the
same giving a finish. Note the fluted
frill of satin that finishes the inside
of the ~eeveS.
