A MOTHER feature of the eisteddfod
a was the amazingly beautiful quality
Of the voices which competed in the
solo vocal contests. especially the altos
Three better singers than these have
seldom been heard in this city. The
adjudiCators themselves confessed them
selves almost at a loss to whom to
award the prize, so evenly were the
contestants matched. The tenor and
soprano voices were also of unusual
quality.
An eisteddfod is open To every one
who cares to enter the lists of compe-
tition. But in order TO avoid the mo-
notony which would inevitably result
from repeated hearings of the same
work. all but three competitors are
weeded out at the private preliminary
contests held by the adjud:catOrs prior
to the public sessions. Mt which only
the pick of the contestants appear.
The eisteddfod was admirably planned
and carried out. DR. Surdival made

one of his adjudlcations. He spoke of
the poor quality of the composition
which was selected for the contest, a
point which must have struck every
trained musical hearer in the Academy
and one which the committee would
do well to bear in mind next year, II
another cistoddfod is held here.
1t is perhaps natural for the Welsh
to select largely the music Of the com
posers of their own race for their
cistoddfods. But, strange as It may
seem, for n nation so passionately ad-
dicted to the art of singing and one
which has perhaps the finest folk song
upon which all great classical forms
thus far have been erected) In the world,
Wales has never yet produced a com
poser of distinction. Most of the part
songs nt the eisteddfod we're not worthy
Of the superb choirs which sang them
with a perfection demanding months of
the hardest kind Of practice. The liter
ature Of music furnishes part songs
for both male and mixed choruses which
are far better than any which were
heard on Monday.
TNIIE Welsh composer is extremely apt
L TO dissociatc the meaning of the
words with the music he writes for
them. DR.. Broome in his comment
pointed out such case in events
part song for mixed chorus. where the
words The dropping heart were set
to n dance rhythm and many other
similar cases may be found among
typical Welsh compositions.
Another popularity of the true Welsh
composer Is that he nearly always

Cially the male voices, lend themselves

should almost always sing with piano,
which destroys the finer nu0nccs ns

even Of a large chorus and adds nothing
except the doubtful asset of keeping
th" chorus on the exact pitCh-dOubt- @
hIl that Is, when It. is considered what
the piano costs in the total effect.
There may be some characteristic
about the music of the Welsh com
posers which is not appreciated BY
those not of Welsh birth or ancestry.

TIME TO BUY

An Authority on All Matters Per,

BY Loretto c. Lynch

IUST at this season Of the year
II has become a custom for the
furniture shops to hold a sale.
At many shops furniture may be
stored until wanted, thus giving

her furniture at a considerable saw

tional cost.
Furniture manufacturers are
now making dining room furniture
within the reach Of the average
purse. The small breakfast room
set has been elabora ted and is now
made from the better woods and
may be used with propriety in the
year-round dining room. 1t has
this advantage, however-it is lust
the right size for the average small
apartment or bungalow dining
room.
Just such a dining set is made
OF antique walnut in a modified
Italian Renaissance period style.
The dining table Is rectangular and
the extension leaves folded under
the main leaf, giving the effect
when folded Of the popular gateleg
taDle.
The dish cabinet Is tall but not
wide. Here the delightful Italian
is beautifully preserved. The doors
are solid wood without the old
fashioned showcase glass. There
Ia a buffet t-sideboard and five chairs
beside the master armed chair. But
the proportion Of the furniture is
entirely In keeping with small
rooms, and when set into an old
blue and brown room with wall
light In bright yellow silk presents
most attractive effect.
A most attractive bedroom set Is
one of creamy white enamel, deco
rated with hand painted wreaths
Of delicate blue and pink flowers
with just a green leaflet here and
there. Outside Of the twin beds
and the usual chifforobe and

wicker pieces which might easily

Instance, a willow chair with arms

Impatience drives folks to ac-

There isn't a royal road to

Is a sane recognition Of the fact

" come boy, who scatters sun
shine down the street and fills my
heart with JOY. II some long-cher;
ished plan Of mine develops faults
and flaws, he soon. can have me
feeling fine and shouting loud guf-
flaws. For he's the man who
chances by when I'm filled with
doubt; when questions "How7
and "what?" and Why say
bobbing all about. He laughs at
fears demoniac, which I have faced
with dread. and blithely slaps me
on the back and bids me Go
ahead" When things I've start
ed seem to be too difficult to DO,
I wildly wonder how I'll see the
awful labor through: when in the
depths Of my despair smash m,
Sunday hat and tear my scant,'
crown of hair and kick the kindly
cat, it's balm unto my troubled
heart to hear his welcome tread,
there's magic in his simple art, his

right ahead" That's just the
formula I need to get things under
