ART Of BINDING.
BOOKS IS At
HEIGHT
Present Day Work Exceeds
That Of Old Masters.
Progress Reviewed

; w y 4 & + 7 ri. 7
"A beautifully bound book-no
matter what its pages may con
tain, has always exerted 2 peculiar
fascination over certain class OF
people who to a very great extent
collect books on account Of their
artistically fooled exteriors.
In America. at the present day,
great interest is taken in the art
Of bookbinding, and at no time
were books bound with greater
technical skin, the mechanical exc
cltion Of the best class OF work
being almost perfect.
In England, leather book-binding
came into general use with the in
vention OF printing and brought with
It the art OF stamping with gold and
tools.
The e;nliest OF these tools gener-
ally represent figures, such as
Jesus Christ, st. Paul, the Virgin,
coats.of.arns, legends, and mono.
grams, according to the contents
Of the book.
The first Englishman who did
work in bookbinding that could at
al compare with that produced
abroad, was John Keynes, book
seller and binder to Henry VII and
Henry VIII. He resided ut the
George" in st. Paul's Churchyard,
and was an artist Of some mark.
His devices consisted of two small
shields, with his initials and mono
gram and these he usually intro.
duced in q large design.
Another binder OF this period was
Garrett Godfrey who migrated to
Cambridge and became the first
bookbinder there.
In the twenty.fifth year OF Henry
VIII $3.50 an Act Of Parliament
was passed, in the interest Of Eng
nsh bookbinders, which was not
repealed until the twelfth of George
II, by which It was enacted: THAT
no persones, recyant or inhabytaunt

feast Of Christenas next coming,

boxes brought from any parties out
of the Kynges obeysance, redy

and brought into this Realme and

At First Sight

There's q story most romantic il,
the Morning Blade today, telling
how young Andrew Antic married
Jane Augusta Hay. They were
strangers in the morning, and at
evening they were wed, with bril-
dal veil adjoining Jane Augusta s
queenly head. After seven hours
Of wooing he had won her for his
bride, and they're of, their Aivver
chooing, honeymooning in their
pride. Love is surely most COM
pelling," / remark to CATER Brown ;
when in human hearts it's DWELL
ing, prudence cannot turn it down"
Lovers still will go their courses"
sadly CATER Brown replies, though
they wind up with divorces when
the primal glamor dies. Love is full
of deadly dangers, and said dangers
must prevail. when pair of giddy
strangers gambol to the altar rail.
For a man should know the fai1ings
OF the sweetest maid on earth. and
girl should dodge white veilings
till she knows lovers worth. But
the words of wise old CATERS never
can persuade the young, they are
scorners, they are daughters. at the
gems that leave my tongue. And
they go their silly courses, looking
not an ell ahead. and we read of
more divorces, with the scareheads
done in red"

COSTUME CONCERT
DRAWS BIG AUDIENCE
Lucy Gates, Assisted by Lolita Van
Buren, at Clavichord, Sings
Elizabethan Songs.

A capacity audience at the Ma
t!onal Theater yesterday afternoon
was asked to step out of the jazz era
back into the period Of good Queen
Bess and listen to such concert as
might have been performed before
her majesty. 1t was presented by
Lucy Gates, coloratura soprano, and
Lolita Van Buren,, noted player and an
authority upon the clavichord and the
virginalls. These artists offered a
program of melodies in a fashion de-
lightfully charming, while gowned in
costumes reminiscent of Pride and
Prejudice" and of china shepherd
esses.
Miss Gates first group of Mozart
songs included two arias from an
opera written by the Viennese COM
poser at the age of twelve years.
Then she sang his Lullaby" in soft
est German. and Bach's Dist >du bel
Mir" The clever little rondeau. "Oh
Yes. Just So" of Bach's, was filed
with quaint humor and Miss Gates
made the most of its happy notes. In
her last group, Lemaire's "Vous DAN
SEE Marquise?" seemed the most pop
<uiar and she repeated the last verse.
Variations" showed her mastery Of
technique and legato singing OF DIFF
hcult cadenzas, while Wcckerlin's
"Papillon" was In perfect keeping
with her, standard. Miss Gates. ac-
companied herself at the virginals

Song was her final encore. accom-
panied by Miss Van Buren, on the
piano which, after the ancient in
struments, sounded like the modern
drcadnaught" that the player whim-
Sicaily termed 1t,
Miss Van Buren, gave three groups
two on the virginals and one on the
e!avicnord. Rameau's suite in e
Minor" included three antique dances
that were fascinating. In spite of the
fragility of her instruments and the
total absence OF pedals to aid In
coloring her tones, Miss Van Buren,
put a maximum of shading and fine
contrast of mood in each compost
ton.
William Byrd's ''Pavana" and Cali
ardo' were particularly interesting. be-
cause OF the celebration last summer
Of the 3o0th anniversary Of his death,
Dandrieu's "Courante" and "Gavotte
and Lully's "Minuet" completed the list
Of historical dances.

Miss Van Buren, warned her audience
In advance that because of the limita
tons OF its construction, and because
of the fragile, hesitating tone of the

when music was for small, intimate
circles and not for the large concert

quested to put spectacles on its

It was unfortunate that only the
( faintest whisper Of the beautiful
notes on this ancient instrument
reached those nearest the stage and
were completely lost to most of the
audience, some Of whom grew rest

HIGH SCHOOL
P. T. A. MEETING

The November meeting of the High

to $50 P M. in the Study Hall with
an attendance somewhat smaller than

and a spirit that was very stimulating
