the reversal OF this principle the
woman who Is too thin may add the
appearance OF plumpness by having
these same forms OF trimming set
horizontally upon her frocks.
The large woman may also have
her ruffles cut on the bias without
gathers at the top. This gives the
fashionable appearance OF ruffles

Keep close to your mother and father in affection while declar-

friendships and contacts with the world are multiplying and growing
more absorbing, theirs are becoming fewer. The elderly do not make

care Give them the devotion they crave.

times is confused with diphtheria-

A MOTHER OF the highly gifted

Samtor on January 6. 1850.
He was a pupil OF Kullak and
wuerst at Kullak's Academy. grad
uating from there in lSeS.
S~charwenka is perhaps best known
as a pianist. although his compost
lions have become very popular. His
first concert was given In 1853 at
the Singakademie and proved 50
successful that for the following
ten years he gave an annual series
OF three chamber-concerts there, and
also arranged and conducted orches-
trail subscription concerts.
In 1874 he gave a series OF
through Europe and America. and
in 1880 he founded the Berlin
Scharwenka Conservatory, OF wnlcn
he was director until 1891. In that
year he came TO the United States
and founded a conservatory In New
York City.
The year 1898 found him again in
Berlin. where he accepted the direc-
torate or the Klindworth-S charwenka
Conservatory and was made head
master OF the Pi%anoforte classes.
This latter post he retained until
1914. when he resigned TO establish
his own Meisterschule for the piona
In Berlin.
Scharwenka's compositions r.
strongly marked by the characters
tics OF the new German school. and
especially by the Wagnerian methods
However. they possess an inherent
individuality which indicates really
poetic nature. a spontaneous melody
and an intense charm OF expression.

characteristics. a feature which

Many persons who have real diph-

symptoms. They hardly feel Ill and
may proceed with their regular
duties. They know there are
patches in the throat, but they
disregard them.
This should never happen. Every
time a membrane forms, whether the
throat is extremely painful or just
a little. there should be a laboratory
examination.
There are really two forms OF Vim

type, I'm which there Is simply ulcer-
