cred with tissue paper.
Such musical flights, generally
speaking, go unappreciated by the assembled
household and are frequently interrupted by
some such sharp rebuke as: For heavens sake,
Johnny stop that awful noisel"
But no one interfered with Borah Minevitch,
the Ghetto kid, when he first pulled at the har-
monica keys. For his auditorium was the side
walks Of New York. He was the typical
Manhattan lad, a precocious, somewhat preda-
tory product of the city streets combining
whimsical ambitious and even fabulous ele-
mentS.
The credo of the street" is simple, direct
and cruel. 1t says, "Get along, somehow
other survive as best you may!"
And so the story of Borah Minevitch is q
very American story
Today, back from tour of Europe; with the
princes of Monaco penning him praises, and
kings, queens and pawnS, statesmen and pro-
letarians Of London, Paris, Vienna, Monte Carlo
and way points issuing him future invitations,
young Minevitch has travelled far from shouting
"wuxtry' through the tenement belt of Gotham.
RUT old ties run deep Even as Borah waits in
his dressing room between shows, Mamma
Minevitch appears. And his tales of elegant
Paris suites Of champagne and chauffeurs
and expensive cars on the French boulevards,
matzoth and some homemade cakes. Mamma
Mnevitch now lives In comfort and luxury
within block or so Of her beloved Bronx
neighbors, relieved Of the problem Of rearing
seven children on "a shoestring," but never
forgetting to remind her offspring Of the "seder"
and "pasach" and the other traditional OBJ
Servations Of her race.
Then, too, there are those amusingly diverse
members of Minevitch's now famous harmonica
band, youngsters assembled from the highways
and byways of the world; bootblacks and newies
and street gamins.
There's Lichtenstein, the Jewish lad from the
East Side; there's Ernie Morris, the jazzy Negro
from up Harlem way. who once aspired to be
0 Pullman porter; there's Zimbalist and Magid,
o Turk-all races and all creeds.
But they're different young men now"
Adinevitch win tell you. Most Of them have
been around the world with me a couple of
times and have learned at least three languages.
They're all prosperous young men Of the world
now. I've lost number OF my original band
boys They became virtuosi and go about as
soloistS.
eff you sat in this dressing room for few
hours each day, you'd see all sorts and condi-
tons Of kids come up here looking for a chance
to play in the band-kids just as we were, with
patches IN their pants and ragged overcoatS.
But they can play their mouth organs-and
plenty"

Safety of Young Brothers

ing there holding the rope of his own
little sled and the next thing he knew
he was watching some men lift small
figure out of a crowd of jostling boys
at the foot of the hill and carry 1t out to
an automobile.
They're taking him to the hospital,
some one said. The next think that he
saw was the splinters of Buddy's sled.
THAT bob hit your kid brother, didn't
stone wall by an inch or they'd have
been killed. I guess he's pretty badly
hurt"
But why couldn't you have watched
him? Why couldn't you have told him
to stay of that track? can't trust you
ever again." said Martyrs mother that
night. Just his arm was broken, but II
might have been his neck. Perhaps
you'll learn a lesson now and learn to
take care of him after this!"
Yes-Marty got heck"
It did no good for him to try to ex-
plain. No one listened. Besides, he felt
too miserable to talk any more. They
were all against him, somehow, and yet
he didn't feel he had done anything
wrong. Gosh, he'd told Buddy to be
careful, hadn't he? A fellow can't just
stand around and watch brothers all
tifying of himself. Marty was heart
broken. He felt sick some way, but he
didn't analyze it as a feeling of gross
Injustice, which 1t was.
Should we put the moral responsibility
of caring for young children on older
ones?
Undoubtedly it is well to cultivate the
spirit Of responsibility in children, and
they should be encouraged to assume
and carry out tasks. But too many par
ents shift almost the entire care of
younger children on older children who
are really not so very old after all. The
youngsters try hard to accept the re-
sponsibility, but young minds will wan
der, and the thoughts of youth are
long thoughts" 1t is difficult to tell the
exact amount of such responsibility that
ought to be given to the Martys and the
Buddys.
Probably a little OF it is all right, but
in cases like Martyrs If we care to run
such risk, we should not heap the blame
on such young shoulders when things
60 wrong.

Bags Made of Silk,
Wool, Linen, Straw

Handbags must be definitely con-
nected with the ensemble. We have
matched them to our shoes or our hats
but this Spring we shall be more likely
to match them to our coat or dress, and
In fabric as well as In color. When
the fabric matches the costume the
leather trim will link the bag to the
shoes.
This vogue for matching the bas
to the costume has brought the fabric
bag to the fore until today it Is a real
rival OF the leather bag. Bags with
matching shoes of linen, sudanette and
shantung are at this time of the year
appropriate only for the resorts
although later they viii be more gener-
ally seen. For Spring there are bags
felt, angora or printed silks.
While straw bags do not, Of course
match the costume, they should be in
cluded with the fabric group and they
can and should match the hat. with
straw hats, especially those of synthetic
straws like panamalaque and porte
bonheur, so very smart, we may look
forward to carrying straw bags. They
can also. of course, be matched to shoes
and in the rich pastel tones.
The shapes are not so new, all the
old favorites being shown-the pouch,
top and back strap, vagabond, under
arm and envelope types. The plain
crepeS are treated with great simplicity,
pleatS composing the main decorative
feature. All-over embroidery is used for
the more formal types and some quilt
ing effects are shown. Some of these
more elaborate materials are mounted
on frames studded with baguette cut
stones IN corresponding colors. All of
them are supple and the newest are
larger.
There is much color in the Spring
bags, bright red, green, blue and beige
being advocated even for the street.
Beach bags are q riot of color and the
large sizes for shopping are often en-
brotdered in bright colors, accentinr
the fact that with costumes of white
or q neutral shade the accessories will
supply the requisite dash of color.
The fastenings are decidedly modern
lStic IN trend, whether of metal, enamel
or marcaSite, as we find them on the
more formal antelope and MORE bags.
Slide fastenings are particularly well
liked Tor these fabric bags finished with
taSselS OF leather or silk cord. Metal
Dali clasps with chain or braided
leatner handles are new and enameled
ornaments Stimulating monograma are
apparently as popular as ever.
Wnne fabrics are newer, leather bags
are just as fashion right. Here, too. the
larger sizes with top handles are pre-
ferred.

BY HELEN DRYDEN.

TT would seem as If the fashions of
today had been created especially
for the bride, for they are so digni-
j ned, stately and picturesque, just
what a wedding gown should be.
Yet there is sufficient variety for every
bride to express her individuality. The
princess molding, simple and graceful,
Is ideal for the statuesque types, with
the youthful adaptations Of the 1880
modes, the high waist. puffed sleeves
and capes of directoire and empire sug-
gestion for the more petite sister.
Both will be interpreted in white
satin for the Spring bride, for no
modern dictum has been able to change
that tradition. It is softened somewhat
by the number of off white shades
which may be selected-ivory, parch-
ment, antique, cream, eggshell, and a
tone with just the faintest pink blush.
Again the bride has fashion on her
side when she plans for her bridal party,
for never have colorings been more
effective, fabrics more varied or modes
more becoming. This gives the bride a
wide range of formal afternoon models
from which to select dresses her attend
ants can wear very generally atterWard
WHILE the brides favorite colors
w generally prevail, the vogue for
pastels is sure to influence her this
Spring. Baby blues and pinks OF the
vatican period are the first choice,
either combined or as an accent color
with white. Pale yellow and green
make another popular color combina-
ton delightfully."- Spring-like, gray and
coral offer a subtle blending, also yellow
and mauve, yellow and brown, and pink
and brown Another idea Is to select
two and three tones of q color, and
here pink Is often chosen.

By MARY MARSHALL.

III A LII those in favor Of the
~ ~ longer skirt and the normal
a the usual manner"
When fashion, in the
chair, IL months ago put this question,
heated and far-reaching argument en-
sued. Few questions concerning wom'
ems dress have ever stirred up 80 much
controversy. The possibility Of the
return Of long skirts appeared to many
like a real calamity, come to threaten
the independence, good health and
progress of women. When, as 1t were,
the first ballot Of woman's approval was
cast the noes" had 1t. However, the
number of those in favor of longer
skirts and more closely nodded bodies
steadily increased and finally gained q
slight plurality-untn now, this Spring
of 1880, they have carried the day by
an overwhelming majority.
The cause of the knee-length skirt
and the low waistline has been lost, but
it was lost fairly and no fair-minded
person can say that fashion arbiters
have foisted the new fashions upon
group of women who pledged them
selves to lifelong opposition to longer
skirts has dwindled to tnsignificance.
\ \
A CTUALLY there is nothing detri-
= mental to life, liberty or the pursuit
Of happiness about the new fashions.
The sports skirt that ends an inch or
two below the knee no more cramps
ones style on the tennis court or golf
course than one that ends an inch above
the knee.
J Four Or FIVE extra inches additional
length for other daytime clothes Is onset
by the fact that they are fuller at the
hem line, and the increased dignity and
charm gained by the longer evening
skirt-even when it descendS to the
fioor-more than compensate for the
fact that it cannot be worn with the
same unconcern and nonchalance that
straight evening clothes that 1t has
THESE things are no longer weighed
in the balance. They are settled
fashions for Spring, which we must
adopt If we do not wish to look old
fashioned or eccentric.
Skirts four or hve inches below the
knees for evening, with additional

the occasion.

CLEEVES have become important. The
~ full-length sleeves demand careful
fitting and are often shaped slightly to
conform to the natural curves of the
arm. Very short sleeves have super
seeded no sleeves at all. Sleeveless day.
time dresses are rare save when they are
designd to be worn under cape or a
wrap and even for evening there is
usually some covering for the upper
arm, achieved by means of very short
sleeves, or the drapery of q cape collar
The general effect is one of simmer
waists and broader shoulders. Dresses
and suits are designed to give this
greater width at the shoulders-and
suit jackets occasionally have q little
shoulder padding TO boot.
