STYLE


Some things look mighty funny to cd
fogy folks like me,
Some people follow up the style,
whatever it NAV he;
They snarl their hair and puff it out,
they look like Japanese.
Their waists are low and then their
skirts are almost to their knees.
And tight sometimes wonder if
they're not afraid to sit
For fear of dire accidnnt-what if
their skirts should snlit?
They are so very skinny they can
wear much beneath.
And what they do is very short and
thin bevond belief
They roll their stockings from tho
ton. the most absurd Of all
It looks as though they hated to wear
any clothes at oil.
Their heels so high thov walk knock
kneed. and then as like rs not
They stick plaster on their face and
call it "beautv spot"
If they were born disfgured with
spot or mole or wart
They would seek beauty doctor and
use lotions by the uuart.
And if that wouldn't do it I haven't
any doubt
They would hasten TO specialist and
have the thing cut out.
I'll admit I am a fogy, but ! can not
helm but smile
At folks that act so foolish because
it is the style. }. {. +.

Recipe for making Bluestone paste
to be placed on stem end of water
melons, after stem end has been re-
cut and placed in the car. Place
IL quarts of water in an enamel

stir this until a milky mixture is OBJ
tanned. AS soon as the Bluestone
is dissolved, and the mixture is boil
ing add the starch slowly stirring all
the time, until its thickens into an
even paste. The boiling should not
last but one or two minutes after the
starch is added. The paste must not

Symphony Feature Of Program
THE PROGRAM
ov4tvre "I.ecnore No. Ns'....... Beethoven
Concerto for violin and dFche estra -. SIbeius
Dance Of saiorne. 49,. ....... .. STRAUSS
Esrenc vecsey, whom many Of the
present generation Of cOncertgoefs re-
member as a youthful prodigy, made
the first appearance Of his career with
the Philadelphia Orchestra at yester-
day afternoons concert. playing the
Sibelius concerto in u minor which Is
dedicated TO him.
Mr.. vecscy Is an excellent violinist,
with remarkably good left hand, as
the Sibeius concerto demands, and
toni of ample volume and beautiful
quality. II is to be regretted. however.
that he did not appear in a work which
would have shown his obvious talent to
better advantage than the rather dreary
concerto OF the Finnish composer. lt
Is composed In the typical idiom OF
emotional intent and to those who are
not familiar or are not in sympathy
with the rugged. and rather morbidly
inclined music of the Firms, 1t pre-
sents little that is Of charm. As q "a.
hihition Of technique, the concerto filed
every demand, as 1t is one of the most
difficult Of modern works. It has been
played here before, Thaddeus Rich
giving the work Its premier in Phila-
delphia some seasons ago. .t .
The musical feature of the program
was the d minor symphony Of Schu-
mann, one of the most poetical Of all his
works for orchestra. Written In the
same years as the B fat symphony,
sometimes known as the "Spring" sym.
phony, the D. minor has little Of the
unrestrained Joy of the other, but Is
everywhere interpretive and contem-
plativc. except in the finale. The work
was we'll played, with the possible ex-
ception of the trio Of the scherzo, In
which the rhythm Of the first violin
part, a modification of the solo violin
part of the preceding romance, was not
always clear.
The concert opened with the Leonore
overture No. 3, Of Beethoven, one OF the
star pieces Of the orchestra performed
with much spirit and absolute accuracy
and closed with the Dance ofsthe Seven
Wells. from "Salome." The dance was
.splendidly performed and proved fine
contrast to the austcrity Of the concerto
which had just preceded 1t.
