ELIZABETH CITY GIRLS
SHY AT KNICKERS
But One Who Has Dared Says They
Will All Come To 1t An.
other Season

Many Elizabeth City women looked
longingly at display of knickers at
NJ. Leigh Sheep Company's woman's
wear store this week. but none had the
heart to buy. Mr.. Sheep received sew
eral suits on consignment from a well
known New York tailor, but sent them
back after making only half hearted
showing. So far as is known only one
Elizabeth City girl has developed the
courage to add suit of knickers to her
wardrobe and she hasn't found the
heart to make a public appearance in
them as yet. Miss Lula White, head
of the ladies' suit department of NJ.
Leigh Sheep Co. is the possessor of
the one suit. Miss White is sure that
women generally will take favorably to
knickers' as soon as the public recov-
ers from the first rude shock and sae
expects to have lots of company before
the summer is over. Miss White says
many Elizabeth City women will take
their first suits of knickers with them
on their vacations t. the mountains and
seashore tl:S summer and will get ac-
cnstomed to their new habits away
from the snickers and comments of un-
appreciatiye neiehbors. Another seas
on they VIII wear them openly amo:.y

CHEAP LENSES

There are no bargain days
nor substitutes for good eye
glasses. Cheaper materials
can be substituted for al
most anything except a cor
rectly fitted lense. Cheap"
lenses oftentimes cause trouble of
a more serious nature than the de-
fects they are supposed to correct.
Only people who have been trained
to recognize defects of vision and
to know how to make proper
correction are capable of advising
on such an important subject as
lenses. Avoid trouble by consulting
reliable professional people and
taking their advice.

The Greatness of Music

Music, real music, personifies the
finest nature of mankind. 1t is the
expression of the perfect that man
should like to be. that man some day
hopes to be.
What flood of joys, hopes, aspir-
ations and ambitions surge through
ones being when he is enthralled by
music. He is carried away to the
realm of the sublimity by the strains
of masterpiece.
All that can would like to be, all
that he hopes to be; every noble
thought and every worth while action
can be felt in the voice of magic mus
ic
Yet there are certainly limitations
to music. Not all that is commonly
called music is the expression of that
finer and refined spirit which so en-
mobiles individuals when in the trance
of the best music. Dross in music
discords the harmony of that sacred
art until with the help Of many mod
ernists the sublime in music is almost
reduced to the absurd.
The sO-called popular music con-
tains very little but the barest ele-
ments of savage music. It is compos-
ed almost wholly of time and vol

highest form of expression. From the
opening moment to the final fade
out" every element that goes to make
the sort Of picture everybody likes,
but seldom gets, is skillfully woven
into the main theme.
There is a double romance, and it
is difficult to decide which is the
more appealing; the romance of the
two young people between whom lies
a seemingly overwhelming barrier, or
the romance of the older couple, a
romance that carries with the old
fashioned fragrance of mignonette.
For drama. there is the desperate
unhappiness of a mis-mated couple
with it's tragic solution and the i'm
mensely appealing theme Of faith
that heals a seemingly hopeless in

love is transmitted to him in the
melody and harmony Of the lovesong
The greatest of music is that which
needs no Interpretation into words. 1t
is universal in its appeal. 1t is the
sublimest accomplishment Of the art.
1t touches every race and every cline
and awakens the same sentiment Of
Lofty idealism in every breast.
1t, like all real music, is based on
what is common to all human beings
and it reaches all men. Without
words man is able to translate in it
the elimination of all his highest
sentiments, ideals and aspirations. One
can sit and listen to such music and
feel it's magical power without at
tempting to put it into words. Where
words have failed to fathom the deep
est and noblest sentiments of the
heart of mankind it has stepped III

Jazz music not only jars on the

in music. 1t begins with a crash and

This music is what is called the

only in it's composition but in the
fact that it has even been given the

one great man so characterized it,

spiration and hope.
Perhaps the greatest music of all
time and all place is the sad, melan-
chOlic music. 1t speaks of the peri

and it is therefore saddening. But
that kind of music shows him what is
the most wOndrous things in life and
nature. 1t fills him with a tender,
poignant longing, gives him a glimpse
of the ultimate and creates within his
heart the yearning for things better
and nobler.

battle. What a power over humanity

No person can hear those quickening
strains without feeling surcharged

calls his own.
