RECREATION

Owing to the speed, completely, ana

! Industry, recreation has become mat
ter of vital Importance for everyone
Some muscular activity, preteraply III
the open air, is needed by every healti'
" person, and this exercise, to De Ell
fective, must be accompanied by tlle
element Of pleasure. Hosting DUMP
bells, for instance, purely from con,
scientious motives is seldom benehclai
! and is generally soon abandoned.
Recreation, to be ideal, should De

son should spend his vacation away
from home where new scenes, new ac-
oualntances and a different mode Of
living will take his mind from the
particular problems and worries with
which he lives the rest of the year.
The value Of a fresh point of view
as an aid to recreation can handlly
be overestimated.
The habit Of working in the even
ing at the same task or the same
kind of task that occupies you dur
ing the day is an exceedingly bad one.
You return to your work in the morn
ing jaded and weary and accomplish
much less than you would if you had
laid asld all thought of your task for
few hours and spent the evening
in an entirely different kind of occu-
patton. Must be remembered in urg-
ing recreation upon other people that
what might afford complete relaxa-
ton to one is not real recreation to
another. The man who works all day
long with figures and accounts would
PROBABLY find game OF bridge in the
evening too much like work, while
the man whose work requires him to
walk number OF miles day would
PROBABLY never find any recreation at
all in golf.

A sufficient amount of sleep is es.

and young people need more sleep
than adults and should be required to
go to bed early. The average per.

sleep every night, but, there are some
who dc not need so much. Ability to
sleep is largely matter of habit,
and if good habits are formed they
will be continued. Sleep-producing

sang the role of the mellihuous cigarette
maker twice before she went on her re-
cent tour, and practised for the part, but
music critics are unanimous in the belief
that Bourskaya's Carmen will be one of
the big hits of the season.
The great tenor, Muratore is not among
the company's stars this season.
The capriciousness Of Mary Garden in
not using the voice of his wife, Lima Cava-
lieri, is blamed for the coolness that ex-
listed between Muratore and Our Mary"
all last year and which eventually pried
the services of this sterling tenor from
the Chicago Opera Company's stage. The
story goes that in order to get Muratore
it was necessary also to sign a contract

gagged to sing many roles other singers
were placed in her parts. Professional
jealousy soon developed. and the long
suffering Cavalieri, so it is said, saw the
day when an exquisite choice of expletives
passed between Mary and her husband,
and he decided he would never again sing
another year in company over which
Mary presided. ' :''-,

The youthful prima donna demanded
this amount of money in court when
she alleged that the company had used
her pictures on programmes and bill-'
Boards long after she had severed her con- ).
nections with it.
1t is not only disconcerting but may
prove very costly not to use high-priced
voice because it bears a foreign trade /"
mark. Nine. Johanna Gadski filed a suit
for 100000 for breach of contract and
defamation, charging that the Chicago
Opera Company management plotted to
injure her not only in the musical world,
but in society. 20: 4.
Through counsel, Nine. Gadsxi charged
that the opera company had set up the
claim that the public would refuse to hear
the great Wagnerian soprano sing because"
she was the wife of Hans Tauscher, a ma
tive subject of Germany. Nine. Gadsli.
declared that during the war her husband

cash it at the bank on

Mr.. Shaw comes right
back at Maestro Fabriani's
lawyer in a pretty little
newspaper duel in which
he makes public a letter
received, so he claims,
from this same Miss
Elwell, reading:
Last Fall Mr.. Fabriani,

To back up this letter
Mr.. Shaw also made pub
lie another which he said
he had received from Miss
Elwell's former accompan-
list, in which the soprano
said she had been "ad-
vised by friends to expose
Fabriani."
Mrs. Eleanor Fisher,

niece Of the late Colonel
Henry Watterson. has
also taken a hand in the
row and a merry court
battle is promised.
Whether or OF Mary
Garden appeared at the
opening of the opera
season, as has always been
her custom, has been a
source of much specula-
ton. The temperamental
prima donna's personal
representative says that

doubtedly was too tired.

SQuRCE-A aiNen name.

This family name. like SO many be-
ginning with P''or d. is Of Welsh
origin. Such names were formed first
by the use of the prefix ZAP" meaning
son Of" with q Christian, or given
name.
In the earliest records Bethel is
found as ap-Itfel. Ithel was q given
name of great popularity In the
Wales of the middle ages. though to-
day It would be an oddity to find a
man who bore 1t as a first name,
Hike John or James.
Prior to the twelfth and thirteenth
centuries there were no family names
in northern Europe. Where 1t be-
came necessary to distinguish be-
tween two men of the same name it
was sufficient to do so by referring to
their parentage or to some individual
characteristic, such as "Bede, the son
of WuIf." or "Harald Broad head"
At first such names were not passed
down from father to son. But the
growth of population necessitated a
more permanent system than this, and
SO through, a period of several CEN
scriptive names of their fathers and
pass them on in turn to their own
children.
So today. Ithel. which has disap-
peared as given name. survives in
changed form as family name. 1t
became successfully ap-Ithel, 'p-Ithel.
Pithel, Pethel and Bethel or Bethel.
1t Is probable that hundreds of fam
lilies. unrelated, adopted the name
through the general period of the
twelfth and thirteenth centuries.

tryside near New York there are
enough races to bring out we'll dress
ed women. At such events are re-
porters to watch the trend of affairs
. One of the 1880 fashions which is
revived is the use of brown and
white. The sketch shows q costume
worn by one who looked on. 1t is Of
white cloth. the kind called frangel-
laine by the French. 1t reminds us
of serge. The skirt has some full
ness in front to keep up with the pre-
vailing silhouette borrowed from
last season. calling for fiat back
and a ripping front. There is a
short jacket which shows its lining
Of brown crepe de chine to match the
brown silk fringe which finishes the
edges. Flickers of brown embroidery
border the fringe and the frock where
it is fastened down the side.
There is no doubt that white has
been revived from 1880 days. Every
weave is represanted in 1t. Faille
silk. thin broadcloth. the new
serge, cloky. which is a blistered
fabric, are seen wherever fashion
foregathers. The Russian idea helps
to give color to a white frock. but
conservative women are somewhat
tired of the Russian ornamentation:.
They adopt brown and beige and
geranium with white as contrast
to the crudity of the colorful Slavic
effects.
