Best Chance A1Uaits Poor
Boy Says Noted VioInist
Requirement of Infinite Capacity for Taking Pains"
is Greatest Factor in Winning Success Ad-
vises Famed Albert Spalding
By Roy T. Burke.

NEW YORK.-"If you were be-
ginning all over again as a music
student, but had the knowledge
that your experience and training
have given you, what would you
do?" we recently asked Albert
Spalding, Americas greatest vio-
linist.
IF were starting all over
again, I would educate myself
thoroughly to the greatest of all
factors for success in the music
world, that of having an infinite
capacity for taking palms," said
Mr.. Spalding. Every artist real
ICES from his own experience that
the last thing one learns techni-
cally is how to practice.
Speed Is Fault
The quality of work one does
day by day determines this per-
Torrance. The student of violin
should practice slowly and con-
scientiously so that he can play
every note purely and securely.
The great fault with many stu
dents is that they try to play too
fast They get into the habit of
playing out of tune and out of
rhythm, and in music, like in
every other profession in the
world, the mistake made once is
an easier one the next time.
"All our interpretive powers are
governed by our technical facili-
ties"
We then said to Mr.. Spalding,
Isn't it a fact that because you
were known as the son of rich
man, who had every advantage
and opportunity, you and your art
were not considered as seriously
as il you had been a poor boy who
absolutely had to earn his own
way? If that is so, from your
own experience who has the
greater opportunity to become an
artist, the poor student. or the
wealthy one?"
Work Considered Hobby
Mr.. Spalding answered: Yes.
because, for some reason or other,
l was considered to be the son of
wealthy family, my work for a
long time was considered to be a |
hobby with me. 1t has been said |
that for that reason l was not |
recognized as l might have been |
had / been in circumstances where |
l absolutely had to earn my way. |
The student who has every oppor- |
tunity, financial or otherwise, for |
success at the beginning of his |
career truly has a wonderful
opportunity, but, because he has
everything he needs, he has more
opportunities, | believe, to become
a failure.
Il found that the easy things in
my life created the hardest OBJ
stacles for me to overcome. The |
boy in comfortable circumstances,
who wishes to be considered a real
success. must work twice as hard,
| believe, as if he were financially

Portable circumstances must accept

TAFFETA silk is, by all odds, the
i most popular Of the heavier
weights in silk fabrics, it's only close
rivals, in the high regard of women,
being crepe de chine and georgette.
1t is used for many Of their belong
ings and for those Of their little
daughters. For evening and afternoon
dresses it is the pre-eminent favorite,
end its gentle rustic this summer is
going to last as long as that OF the
leaves does.
All the designers need do to male
salable frocks of taffeta is to follow
the mode and introduce little orig
inality in the details of finishing dec
grafton. Two very excellent examples,
that are up to date and original, por-
tray an afternoon frock that is made
entirely of taffeta and are having a
decoration Of white yarn.
Navy blue In taffeta, with decoration
of white yarn makes an ideal dress for
midsummer, and it is this combination
that is shown in one Of the afternoon
frocks patterned. White taffeta faces
the upper part Of the long tunic and
forms the cuffs. Blue and beige or
blue and tan make combinations as

pleasing, and are very fashionable this
season. In this dress the tunic is set
on to a narrow yoke, which extends
above the waist and fastens to the
bodice. Two large buttons that re-
peat the colors used, call attention to
this feature. The tunic is laid in three
deep plaits at each side, giving
widened hip line and revealing its fac
ing. Three-quarter length sleeves and
Chinese collar are items worth no
ticlng In the design.
Navy blue, black, or any OF the IA
vored colors in silk will look well in
dress like the ruffle-trimmed model
pictured. 1t has three corded shir-
rings at the waistline where bodice
and skirt are joined, and corded tuck
defines the hip line. Elbow sleeves
and q rolled collar high at the back
add two very important style details
to the design. The narrow frills on
the skirt have picot edges, and there
is a charming lace vest in the bodice.
1t is the only detail OF this dress that
is not made Of the silk; even the
smart bow at the waist is fashioned
of It.

MAN IS AFTER INFORMATION
After Listening to Much Sage Advice,
Sill Jones Wants One Matter
Cleared Up.

Our friend Bill Jones is travelling
man and needs rest, but unfortunate
Iy he doesn't sleep well. He has con-
suited a number of doctors in the vari-
GUS towns he visits. and being sys-
tematic person has made sort OF
digest of the advice he has received.
It sums up as follows:
Don't sleep on your left side, as
that creates a pressure on the heart.
Don't sleep on your right side, as
1t interferes with the action Of the
right lung.
Don,t sleep on your back, IS that is
bad for the nervous system.
Don't sleep on your stomach, as that
causes a pressure bad for the diges-
ton.
Don't sleep in a chair, as the body
cannot properly relax.
Bill wants to know if anyone can
tell him how to keep from falling over
when he sleeps standing UP.

yXIHEN negligees come up for dis
wv cussion, the temptation is to
pick out these varied and fanciful ones
that reflect the costumes OF other
lands. But there are others OF Amer
ican design that are really better liked
by our own people and that merit the
preference shown them. They are
graceful, dignifed, more or less simple
garments, often developed in beautiful
fabrics. They reveal an appreciation
of what can be done with lovely colors
when designers are not restricted In
using them. 1t Is IN the realm OF neg
ligees that they can give fancy free
play and be more daring than even
evening dress will warrant and little
tourney into the shops convinces one
that designers make the most OF this
privilege.
Speaking of dignity in this apparel,
some of the new negligees have ac-
ouired so much of 1t that they might
be easily mistaken for evening dresses.
Those made of light-colored brocaded
silks and satins, like the handsome ex-
ample pictured, leave one In doubt at
first glance as 20 whether they were
