MUSICAL SIMPLICITY
FORCED UPON FRENCH
COMPOSERS OF TODAY

PAINS, Nov. IL (P)-Musical sim
plicity is being forced upon French
composers by the high cost of living.
They can no longer aspire to the.
massed orchestral Effects developed
by Richard Strauss and added to by
Stravinsly unless they are prepared
to pay the cost of production, The
Paris orchestras have not funds
sufficient either to purchase the new
and frequently costly instruments, or
to hire the extra musicians to play
them.
Composers have either to conform.
or have their works remain unplayed,
unless, which is rare, they are wealthy
enough to have them performed at
their own expense. An artist reveals
himself within his limitations, and
composers are seeking to express
their ideas by new and ingenious
combinations of instrumental color.
The latest work of Maurice Ravel,
the greatest living French composer,
''Trois Chansons Madecases," is scored
for piano, flute and violincello, with
which instruments he obtains rare
and charming tonal effects.
"Brigands'" belts for feminine wear
are the latest craze along the
Riviera.
The mode was launched by a young
girl appearing on the golf links
wearing huge leather belt that
suggested the Mexican bandit of ro-
nance. The girdles are now quite
common.
Made of brown pigskin, the original
belt seen here was quite five inches
wide and fastened with a plain steel
buckle on the right side. Trimmed
with green stitching to match the
wearer's simple sports suit some
persons liked it as smart looking.
Some of the new wide belts are
made of suede or doeskin. A white
doeskin belt about six inches wide
worn with a red afternoon frocl at
the Casino seemed an attractive com
bination TO observers.
Even with evening dresses brig
ands belts are becoming the rage,
although for evening wear they are
made of brocade or some other
sumptuous material.
