Methods used by great composers in their work differed as widely as their characters. Beethoven compos- ed much in the open-in fields and lanes. Mozart loved companionship and he was an irritating procrastina- tor. He often composed some needed work at the last moment. Schubert could always compose in the tavern, where he spent much time. though he was too pooh to drink deeply. Hayden shut himself up in a garret, forgetting his cold and hunger in the joy of rewrote and polished and repolished. Mozart wrote the overture to 'Don Giovanni in a night. Wagner liked a piano in his studio and it is recorded of Chopin's finest works are credited with being irnprovisations. though mu- sicians are inclined to doubt this.

 Just then there came a tinid knock on the door. I opened it, to find Phoebe in the corridor, nor pansy face very wide-eyed and finger on her lips, conspirator fash ion.
 You look like an intriguing che rub,'' I giggled,, stepping out in re- sponse to her solemn summons.
 Without answering. she tip-toed had no choice but to follow. When we arrived she closed the door and turned to me with a serio-comic air of secrecy and Solemnity.
 Well. dear?" I said.
 Anne, I've a confession to make. A dreadful one! whispered Phoebe. That was Shelly & who Phoned me dear" I said dry1y. Its merely a confirmation of what I already know
 'I had to lie about it." went on Phoebe hastily. ''He acted so des- perate about Jeanie, and I thought if 1 he went out to the old home and | would misunderstood each other and | drift apart again. And he was lone some and had to be amused. And | today I saw him again because he | said he was 1onsomer than ever and would do something desperate if no | one took pity on him. I took Val a1ong-or rather she took me in her | car"
 Then, with some seriousness. l asked:
 But why didn't you take me along Phoebekins?"
 | Well, dear, you mustn't mind - but Shelly says you've never under l stood him. And you didn't always | trust me. You remember that time | about Dick West and a jade neck | lace. Don't be hurt, dear. But sometimes you act as if I were a silly child instead of woman of the world So I thought I'd manage this myself I-and I have. Tonight he whisper ed that he'd decided to take my ad- vice and to forget Virginia Isn't that splendid? You can see rv had a good influence on him even if ] had to deceive you to gain it.''
 ''Of course he asked you to keeI thSs secret from Jim and Neal and ! me-" I said with a great air of casu- | a1ness.
 Must we tell the boys?'' re- piled Phoebe, naively questioning iI l turn.
 ''If you'H promise to let Sheldor work out his own fate from now on i think we can call the matter clos. ed.'' I promised raShly. tfThen we needn't bother Jim or Neal about it.

Stratford

Merritt Vanderbilt, Harry Skel1y, Webster Conine and Samuel Lewis have been mentioned as possible can didates for council honors from the Eighth district. John Sheehan has also been mentioned as has been William Farmer, secretary of the present board of fire commissioners. It is certain that if Conine makes the run there will be plenty of opposition, for there are a number of newcomers who heard his startling speech op- department, which is woefully be- hind other towns that used to be in the class with Stratford, but which decided to protect their property and bought modern fire fighting appara- tus.
 John Albright has been formally endorsed as the candidate from the Fifth district by the Good Govern ment association of that district.
 The harbor blues are running and many are lowering around the mouth
 of the Housatonic river trying to get their share. Others are going over into Milford. The inlet between Mil ford and Woodmont, where fishing from the roadway has been very good. is attracting more fishermen daily.
 George B. Chase is being promf-
 nently mentioned as a possible seek CT TOT the OfT1CS Ol 1o"n Clerk, now held by H. c. Lowell, who is also very popular. The name of w. Howard Wilcoxson, who in the past has given Lowell a close race. has also been brought up in certain quarters. Chase is a member of the present Board of finance and besides is President of the Chamber of Com
 merce and receiver for the Stratford Body company. He likewise is a
 member of the Republican Town | comittee and was a member of the | charter committee.
 Although the show is many months 1 off, preliminary arrangements are being made for the annual poultry

 efforts. The premium lists were late

New French Financial
Agent Tells of Progress

France is solid bulwark against
Boishev1sm in any form and under anv
disguise, said Jean de Rincquesen, the
new financial agent of the French gov
eminent In the United States and assist
ant director of the French commission
mere, In his first public statement. is
sued yesterday M. Rincquesen was
formerly director of financial services
OF the French government in the liber-
ated regions of France. He succeeds
here M. de Sieyes, who is returning to
france at his own request to resume
his duties at the Bank OF France.
From the social point Of view" he
declared, Frances situation is most
excellent. The vast majority of her
population are property holders. The
wealth OF the country, both in real
property and debentures, stocks, etc.
IS more widely distV buted than in any
other country in the world The col
lapse of the railroad workers strike in
1920 brought home wildly to organized
labor the attitude of most of the people
toward strikes of this kind and these
since have been both infrequent and
unimportant."
At the present time all of the roads
and canals of the liberated regions of
France have been rebuilt, NJ. Rinc-
quesen said. Of 100000 acres of land
which were made unfit for cultivation
during the war only 100000 acres re-
main to be seeded. Eighty per cent of
the 1880 factories, employing more
than twenty workmen, which were de-
Stroyed, have been rebuilt and are run
ming again, he said.

Doubts Full Recovery
Of European Currency
Bank Economist Sees Big Han
dicap in Lower Purchasing
Power of Money

Europe's currcncies Are unlikely
ever again to regain their pre-war in
ternational values, in the opinion Of
Dr. Henry A. E. Chandler, economist of
the National Bank OF Commerce in
New York. Owing to the radical re-
duction in tho purchasing power Of
this money even tho establishment
of normal trade balances could not
alone bring the exchanges back to par,
he points out.
with two or three exceptions there
is nothing in the European situation
to justify the hope that the present
currencies of the former belligcrents
Mll return to the pre-war mint pari-
ties" DR.. Chandler says. "The actual
parity to which present exchange rates
tend to conform is, in tho case of most
of the currencies of the former bellg-
erents, so far below the old mint parity
that for purposes of Analysing our
present problems the latter NAV be
considered obsolete.
"Often it has been assumed that the
establishment of the normal trade
balance would bring the principal
European exchanges back to their old
mint parity. Nothing OF the kind may
be expected, for the reason that the
trade balance has not been the cause
of most of the larger depreciations be-
low the pre-war mint parity. The most
that may be expected when Europe
normal trade balance can become re-
established is to bring the foreign ex-
change rate approximately up to the
then existing purchasing power parity,
as expressed by the ratio of the price
levels"
