did not introduce the usual broad effects.
 It must not be thought that be- cause Rachmaninoff was not the Rachmaninoff expected by the major, ity of the audience, his recital proved in any sense disappointing. A poet at the keyboard, especially in these days of so-calied orchestral pianists, never fails to delight. And Rachman = inoff understands the scope of ms abilities. He could not have founo anything better calculated to exhibit his powers than the Mozart Sonata, with which he opened, and the Debus- sy Suite, "Children's Corner. AS he played the Mozart number one felt the atmosphere of the 18th century Somehow one thought of spinet, and gallants in attendance while a befriiIed musician performed. So chaste was the imaginative De- pussy numbers that they suggested the daintiest of water colors.'

MYTH AND MAGIC

sUPERSTITTONS ABOUT TENTH
 In '.The Golden Rough" MT. J. c. Frazer classifies what he terms . worldwide superstitious belief in the magical sympathy which is supposed to exist between a man and any sev- cred portion of his body-as his hair, nails, teeth. Whoever obtains pos session of these severed appendages may work his will. for good or evil. at any distance. upon any person from whom they were taken.
 Among some Australian tribes 1t is a common practice to extract one or more of . bcy's front teeth-a ceremony to which every male mem Der Is obliged to submit before he can enjoy tho rights and privileges of a full-grown man. The tooth or teeth thus extracted are carefully guarded to avoid falling into the pos- session of an enemy with magical powers to do the former owner i'll. Some Central Australian tribes bury the extracted or brokenI off tooth near the home of the boys This office Is supposed to act in reg ulating the rainfall
 Children of South Russia throw their extracted first teeth upon the roof of the house and invoke a mouse to give them an iron tooth in its placs.
 In some of the Pacific islands a child's first tooth is given to the rats with the prayer:

TWELTH-NlGHT CUSTOMS

Many strange and curious rites and customs have long been connect ed with the observance of Twelfth Night Twelfth Night is the evening before Epiphany. the sixth of Jan uary, also called Twelfthtide and Old Christmas Day.
 In England the principal rite of the evening Is the cutting of the ~beAn cake'-a cake in which a bean is cooked. the finder of which is made the king of the night and the following day.
 It was in commemoration of this custom that Robert Baddely. an English comedian of the eighteenth century, who was long a favOrite at the Drury Lane theatre, made one of the strangest beQuests on record
 Baddely died in 1Ts4. and in his Wfll he bequeathed his cottage to a theatrical fund. requesting that a sum of 100 pounds be annually ex- pended on a cake, to bs cut on Twelfth Night, in the Green Room of the Drury Lane theatre. and divided among the actors and actresses. The first Baddely cake was cut 151 years ago

IL aoes mean something to a man to have composed . work for the plano that every Feung pianist either plays or 1oDo. nome day to be able to play. twfnk1od throughout the length and .breaath ef our land. has any compost 1ion, IeY living musician been as widely popular as Rachmaninoffs ProIndeA The composer came to Mas ssy Hail tc give q. piano s, re, audiences that ever assembled to hear q newcomer to the city.ss Of course it was the Prelude more than any-> thing else that did it, but there Is also the added glamour of the TO- knancs that surrounds the man nm self. Only . few years ago when Russia was one of the great artistic centers of the world, Rachmaninof' reigned supreme among the musicians of that country, ana nls fame as composer had spread far and Wiut into other lands. His was one of th' names that you thought of when tn glories of the Russian music were mentioned And now he is an exile from the land of his birth, land where art is being strangled and h. has been forced to make his home in the land of the Philistines, where art is regarded as something to be pur- chased with money and exploit with loud boastings. Perhaps that Is the r-reasuf why the first impression of Sergei Rachmaninoff one got when he came upon the platform last night was that he is tragic figure. He is tall and slight with just the trace : of d stoop. His close-cropped hair and his dilettante gait, as though like Portia he was "a-weary" are more Suggestive of a man of academic as- sociations than an artist of any sort.
 He looks a little like one whose en- thusasms have been dimmed by the tra gie memories.
 ! The art of Rachmaninoff proved iSlslost as great a surprise as his ap- pear His compositions we know. and they had prepared us for man with wide range of imagination and fine sweep of emotion1 feeling. One Thought of him as a lover of tonal to1oring, perfect in it's structure, rich, faried and moving. But as 8 pianist. Raehmaninoff is the last word in eX
 4uisite refinement. He loves gentle
 raceries is clear and lucid. He might
 almost be described as an etcher at
 he pianoforte, so fine and clear does he make the lines of each number
 interpreted by him. In the interpreta- ions, one finds lit1e of the vivid, recile imaginings exhibited in his com- positions. Rather, he seems to dream over the numbers, seeking to do them
 perfectly, giving clearness to every phrase, and to chisel every though to it's finest poetic expression. Even

CAFES ARE THE RAGE IN FASHIONS REALM
Rough And Shabby Materials In
 Some New Sport Suits

Some New SpOrt Ouitc
 For many seasons there have been capes of different styles, long ones ones that one could hardly distinguish them from collars. But they are be- coming almost as important as any other article of clothing. There was a time when every one wore 1ur neckpieces as a matter Of course. A girl would no sooner go without ner neckpiece than she would without % her gloves. The same applies to the capes which are coming as sure as the cold blasts of winter. AS with the weather, style too has been more or less mild, but the really wintry things are slowly appearing and VIII be quite ready to greet the new year.
 These capes are most appropriaee and timely, as they afford the neces- sary added warmth which Is always needed in the winter. So the dual re- suit of comfort and smartness is fit- ting recommendation to insure great popularity. We see them made or all the various kinds of materials and in all the leading colors. A novel idea IS to combine in the same cape the ma terial of present winter style m new spring color. For the first time in many years colors are worn that do not conform to the established rule of dark, sombre tones for the winter season. In the smartest places we see coats and suits and gowns Of brilliantly hued materials that re- sembie sports clothes in their viariety and vividness. It really is very clever idea of the designers to keep everything cheerful and happy in color, as color has such a decided in- fluence on the mind. Not long ago we would consider ourselves too bizarre and theatrical if we wore a winter coat of apple green with a pale yellow felt hat, but now we feel very conservative and proper in exactly the same thing. We also must admit that we feel happier and lighter in these colors too.
