Descriptive music. music which IS
initiative or which tells a definite
story helps TO develop the power OF
attention in little children.
An excellent record Of descrip
tive music is In a Clock Store"
Victor (35324). Tell the following
story: I'm a small shop on a busy
street are kept ever so many kinds
of clocks; cuckoo clocks, grand
father clocks, alarm clocks, small
clocks and ordinary sized clocks. A
very happy boy works in this shop.
He comes early in the morning, and
as he sweeps and dusts, the people
passing by hear him whistle a merry
tune. Sometimes the clatter OF his
wooden shoes is heard above the
ticking and the striking OF the
clocks on the shelves. The clocks
in this store are real clocks,-they
tick and strike, they run down and
need TO be wound up: the cuckoo
clock tells the hour of the day; ever
the alarm clocks are not silent. The
little boy works all daw long un-
til the clocks strike four. Then he
locks the store, runs home to play
and doesn't return until the next
day" Play the record and ash the
children 10 listen for the story. but
do not expect them TO get it all the
first time they hear it. Little people
enjoy telling this story in their own
words, to family friends not IA
miliar with the music.

story which the music suggests to
them; or they may tell it through

have a happy ending to their day.
There are many beautiful bedtime
songs, such as The Traumerei (Vic-

are Sleep Little Baby OF Mine and

Remus Stories by Joel c. Harris.
With the use Of such songs and
instrumental Photographic music as
is suggested above. the home lessons
in music can be no other than de-
lightful and educative. Parents will
become acquainted with the musical
tendencies Of their children; a new
world of beauty will be opened to
the impressionable young minds so
eager for musical experiences: and
family life will become more init
mate and beautiful through the
socializing influence Of good music.

Will Yum Yum Discard Her Kimono?

In this way the materials last for
long time.
For the lady OF fashion, how
ever, no such easy methods of dress
making are possible. The finest
crepes and silks are used, and so
carefully are the patterns woven
that the slightest deviation from the
measurements for which the pat
terms were designed may subject the
wearer to side-long glances from her
rivals. Far from being all alike
both pattern and cut are jealousy
guarded by the would-be leader in
dress.
Contests on Design.
I'm the best shops special rooms
are provided where a lady may Sc
crete herself with a discreet de-
signer, thus ensuring that model

scrubwoman that season. Annual
contests in design are held and the
prizes are large enough to attract
famous artists. These designs, OF
course, admit OF a variety OF color
combinations and several individuals
may choose the winning design and
still have a distinctively finished
product on account Of the different
colors employed. But each season
there are thousands OF new designs
from which to choose.

ans costume, aside from the con-
cealed design which distinguishes

WASHINGTON, D. C. Feb. T.
According 10 recent news dispatches
Japanese women are seeking a new
dress better suited to modern life
than the graceful kimono, Ameri-
can machine-made clothes are being
considered to supplant the native
dress OF the women of Japan.
In this connection a bulletin is
sued by the Washington. D. c.. head
quarters of the National Geographic
! society says:
Probably in all the world there
is no more charming figure than the
Japanese maiden with tinted para
sol, pigeon-toeing along in the at
tractive costume OF her race.
Throughout the history of Japanese
sleeves, hoop skirts and pantalettes
have not been among the fashionable
features. The same graceful lines
OF the kimono have prevailed in
spite OF minor changes, which are
as patent TO the Japanese woman
as is the difference between Hudson
seal and plush velour to an Ameri-
can lady of fashion.
An Eye-delishting View.
Seen at a distance Of 90 yards,
walking in the shade OF the ma
jestic cryptomerias OF Nikko or the
bamboo OF the byways, the diminu-
tive Japanese lady, with her bright
parasol and a touch of color show
ing at the border OF her outer kim
ono is an eye-delighting figure. She
embodies grace n coquettish
charm. Beside such an one, II OBJ
served from a distance, the empress,
gowned in Paris styles and wearing
an enormous beauty plumed foreign
hat at her semi-annual garden part
les, seems a sorry figure. Few in
deed are the Japanese men who
gain dignity from frock coat and
silk hat, but fewer still are the Jap
anese women who add TO their
charm by assuming foreign dress.
The japanese feminine costume
Is made up OF layer after layer or
lovely silks OF the brightest hues,
all discreetly hidden under an outer
kimono Of dark grey or black. Nor
are the kimonos at all standard IN
pattern. Sleeve length, fullness, and
a score of more subtle variations
cry aloud the extreme chic Of the
best dressers.
Demands OF Peasant
ITO the peasant woman, these
changes make little difference. Her
main demands are two con-
venience and durability For the
feld worker in a hot. damp climate
one requisite Of the kimono Is that
the upper portion can be slipped OF
and tucked under the belt on not
DAYS. and for the factory worker
IL is necessary that the long dang
ling sleeves be girded back, out OF
the way of tools and gears For
durability the peasant kimono IS TN
excelled. Il is so constructed that
the various pieces can be htted To-
gether in different ways so that what
is the bottom edge today can, aft
er the next washing be asted up
and down the back. where II can
rest from heavy wear until the next
washing. For each washing the
kirnonos are ripped apart and the
different pieces are then dried and
snoothed by spreading them, while
wet. on a board in the sun. No
electric iron is necessary and the
parts are quickly basted together

DOYLE CRASHES OUT HOME RUN WITH TWO
 ON AT NEW YORK
Blow a Low, Sharp Line Drive That Just Clears Top
 Rail of Bleachers.

Step right up and meet Young Babe Ruth, parents name Doyle, called Larry by his 50,o00 intimates. He pummeIed one into the left field .bleachers at the Polo Grounds yes terday for a home run, and as a re- suit the Giants trimmed the Phillies to the popular tune of 4 to 0. Doyle showed himself an adept student of the great Ruth's style-or stealer of his stuff, if you prefer-and is ex- pected to develop into quite sI bats man with the seasoning that added years and experience will bring
 It was a pretty blow, that of Doyle It came in the third inning and was a low, sharp line drive that just clear ed the top rail of the bleacher stand Burns and Young were perching on bases at the. time. and they went on home just to keep out of Doy1e's way. Nevertheless it must be recorded that this mighty swat played no part in winning the game. It had already been won, as it turned out, by Sny- der's tally earlier in the same inning. All that Doyle's Diff did was to put the visitors out of the running.

BOXING LEGAL IN
 NEW YORK MEMORIES

Albany, May 29-Boxing and spar ring matches can be held in State ar m ories under the Walker boxing law, Attorney General Charles D. Newton rules. Adiutant Gen. Charles W. Berry had asked for an opinion from him in the belief that the new law con ficted with the military law. Under the ruling officers in charge of state armories, wi the approval of the di vision brigade commanders, can lease the armories to licensed corpor- ations for boxing exhibitions for a portion of a day or night in each week or month during a rental period of a year, if they agree to the termination of the lease whenever public emer- gency rquires and give a bond indem- nifying the state against loss.
 Attorney General Newton declared that it was manifest that the legisla- ture under the Walker law intended to authorize the leasing of armories for boxing under proper conditions when such use would not conflict with their occupation for military pur- poses"

NAVY WINS CHILDS
 CUP RACE HANDILY

Philadelphia, May 29-A ripping, snorting. clawing crew came to the Schuylkill River from the Naval Academy last evening and won the sixteenth race for the historic Childs Cup. The Midshipmen thrashed their way to victory over the Henley dis tance of one mile and $50 yards, and in thrashing at their high beat did not lose sight of form. They had power, and they had science, and they won by length and three-quar- ters, with Princeton second, PennsyI- vania third and Columbia last by inches.
 The Navy was timed in minutes, 2-5 seconds-not particularly fast for the course, but fast enough in view of the fact that the admirals- to-b be were not hard pressed at any stage of the contest. Princeton was caught in z minutes 4-5 seconds. The Navy rowed in the Childs Cup event once before, but finished third.
 Yesterday it was first all the way. It was rather a peculiar way of giving thanks for being invited into the race by the other three.
 Penn and Columbia were outcIass- ed. and while they could not make any trouble for the first two eights they staged a pretty race all by them selves. Penn just nosed out Jim Rice's eight at the finish by a scant five feet. The Columbia coxswain thought his boat had crossed the line and slackened up, while Coxswain Gillette called for a final spurt from the Red and Blue and it responded inst enough to nose out Columbia Princeton had about three lengths over Penn at the finish.

 Also Makes Spurt

Chicago, May 29 - Jack Fournier, the former American Leaguer, now playing first base with the St. Louis Nationals, is on a batting rampage which promises to rush him to the front in the National League race. The big first baseman boosted his batting mark from .293 last week to .336 this week, according to averages including games of Wednesday re- leased today.
 Fournier participated in 32 games i--td in 119 times at bat cracked out 40 hits for a total of 4S bases.

PRINCETON PLAYING
 YALE AT NEW HAVEN

The Yale-Princeton baseball series started today at New Haven, and the Tigers are slight favorites. There really is little to choose between the teams Princeton has the confidence born of it's two victories over liar yard, but Yale seems to have the edge in pitching. It should be very interesting series.
 The annual Army-Navy game, the seventeenth between the serv1ce rivals. will be contested at Annapolis. The Navy won last year, and if 1t should make it two in a row 1t will set a record, for no Navy nine yet has turned that trick. The Army leads in the series by 12 games to four.
