MEDIUM PLAYS
SPIRIT TUNES
Paris Spiriitualist, Ignorant
Of Music, Rivals Masters
While in Trance.

Paris. July 2o.-A medium, who
when in a normal state does not
know one piano note from another
but who when in a trance. with his
eyes closed, rivals the greatest pian-
lists of the age, has just demon
strated at Paris before the Inter
national Metapsychical Institute un-
der a guaranty of genuineness by
DR.. Gustave Geley. celebrated savant
and president of the institute.
The medium is Louis Aubert. He
has never had any musical training
and. until the age of Is. never play
ed a note on the piano. He cannot
read music.
Put in hypnotic state, Aubert
executes with facility the most COM
plicated and difficult compositions,
experts, all the delicate tone mas
terry that the composers themselves
could have demanded.
Before the institute Aubert played
selections from Schubert, Chopin
Rubinstein and Bizet.
He went to the piano in a normal
state-a pale, sallow-faced man in
the early twenties. DR.. Geley laid
his hand on his head and said: You
are asleep" Immediately Aubert's
eyes closed.
you have before you" Geley
then told him. "a symphony by
Chopin. Play it."
Still with his eyes closed, Auberts
fingers unerringly sought the notes
and played the symphony from be-
ginning to end without a fault. At
ter that he went through a long
program. always without a vestige
of music before him and without
opening his eyes.

London. July 2o.-The visit of the
New York Symphony Orchestra, led
by Walter Damrosch, has been the
outstanding feature in London's
musical world the past month.
At the frst concert in Queens
Hall the American Ambassador was

Louise. and there was a generous
showing from the British musical
world.
The critics were unanimous in
placing the personnel of the or
chestra on a high level. The bal

eral certainty and crispness of the
playing were particularly praised.
Mr.. Damrosch received warm praise
as a musician and as a drillmaster
of great merit. The soloists at the
first two concerts were Albert
Spalding and John Powell, both of
whom made a favorable impress
sion.
Miss Sophie Braslau, at her re-
cital in Queens Hall, made an in
slant success.

This year the blouse is one Of the
most important parts of a we'll
dressed woman's wardrobe. For two
or three seasons it has not been ove
popular, for the one-piece dress has
driven all other garments int the
background. Now, however, separate
skirts are in such high. favor that the
blouse of necessity must become
popular. The town blouse for sum-
mer is usually a difficult problem. 1t
must be dainty and cool looking las
we'll as easily cleansed and practical.
The yer blouse, which is, sort of
Il Russian cossack affair. is very
good, but the b%lousette which comes
only to%thc hips is even better. The
! simple shirtwaist which tucks in at
the belt is still a favorite with many
and it often is more becoming, par
ticularly for wear with a suit or
! sports skirt. This very charming
summer blouse is made Of dotted
rose georgette crepe. 1t las a crisp
organdy collar and cuffs OF pleated
! friIling, which adds to the freshness
of it. A little black tie is worn to
set off the rose and white OF the
blouse, but a dainty pin might be
just as effective as a finishing touch.
Tho thrcc-quarter sleeves-as shown
here or the elbow sleeves promise
to supplement long. sleeves ever before
the real summer months arrive.
