Fabien SevitZky. won another
great ovation from the audience
last night at the Water Gate in
his fourth appearance as guest
conductor with the Washington

Symphony Orchestra. H e n

high favor in her Interpretation
of the aria from Aida" "Ritorno
Vincitor," and sang as an encore.
Obey Speaks, popular favorite,
Sylvia"
The IS h eraza lie Suite"
(TSchaikowsky) occupied the en-
tire first part of the program, and,
while it is not a symphony, the
work, under the inspired direction
of Mr.. Sevitzky was an ample
substitute for the higher form.
This music, while there are sub
titles for each of the four move
ments, can hardly be regarded as
descriptive; it is far more subtle
merely creating the atmosphere
for the "A Thousand and One
Nights" stories.
The contrasting themes which
run throughout the work, the
heavy theme of the brasses which
might be either the sea or the
sharp commands of the Sultan
Schahrir and the ethereal solo
violin theme representing the mar
rator Scbeherazade, reached a
dramatic climax in the opening
phrases of the fourth movement,
the Festival at Bagdad." Frank
Gittelson played the cadenza
which started with slowly timed
lower double stops, with such fer
vor that there was every inflec-
ton of a human voice answering
the Sultan with impatience and
repressed anger.
Mr.. Sevitzky impaired to the
reading of "Scheherazade" a mys-
tical sense of adventure, of sur
prise, of wonderment that is the
essence of these epic gems of the
East. The tender melodies of the
Suite for Strings" (CorellD and

The Violin Concerto is famous
as the concerto that was origin

play it, stating that the technical
difficulties were insurmountable.
After Adolph Brodsky played the
concerto in 1881. Auer moderated
his first opinion and this concerto

suddenly I caught sight of some

mouth and on his hands. at
once gave up the part of the good
Samaritan: it might easily have
had dreadful consequences for my
self and for my family.
Gave Him Money
I carefully slipped some rouble
notes into his pocket, feeling the
while like miserable cur who was
getting out of his responsibilities
toward fellow man by giving him
money, and that the most worth
less money in the world. And
yet" I said to myself. 'you mustn't
become hysterical and sentimental.
This man is near his deliverance;
perhaps he is the happier of us
two"
This thought hammered through
my brain as I left him. A long
freight train came along the line
and stopped one or two tracks
away. A passenger carriage was
next to the engine. and from it
jumped four G. P. U. soldiers.
1 crossed the tracks and called
out to where three or four faces
were staring inquisitively:
"Where are you going, COM
rades?"
They answered in chorus:
"We don't know. We're damned
if we know. We don't know"
An old man with a bald head
and white beard said gently:
Probably to Siberia"
One OF two of them asked if I had
any cigarettes. pulled half a
packet from my pocket and told

An English beauty who walks
for her figure makes a waiStline
exercise out Of every step. She
walks without a girdle and her
formula is to walk as tall as posi-
BILE, pulling the waist slim and
away from the hips, and lifting
up with the lower abdominal mus
cles. She walks beautifully and
gets beauty out Of it.
A footnote on beauty is suggested
by a woman who spends her days
correcting the figure faults Of
other people. She strengthens her
arches by standing on the outer
borders of her feet night and morn
ing while brushing her teeth.
You may think this small
amount of exercise too small to
be of value, but, done every day,
it keeps the arches strong. Try
it on your own weak arches, and
make it a habit while performing
some small task. Walk and stand
on the outer borders of the feet
with the toes curled under.
EACH HAS HER WAY
We know a professional shopper
who has acquired a flat front line
by pulling up on the lower alb
dominal muscles while waiting for
traffic stop lights! When you con-
slider how many times a day she
does this in a busy city, you can
understand why she has superb
carriage and a lovely figure.
An interesting thing about
many famous beauties is that they
have overcome great physical han
dicapS. The never-to-be-forgotten
beauty of Annette Kellerman was
gained through an exercise and
health program. She was spindly
little girl with a crooked spine who
swan her way to fame and beauty.
Habit is the fabric of which your
figure is made. Some trivial act
which you perform every day can
be the means of correcting a fig
ure fault. Did you ever stop to
think that in merely bending over
to pick something off the floor you
exercise either the wrong or the
right muscles?
If you do your bending from
the waist, with the lower wall Of
the abdomen held up, we promise
you a neater waiStline and an
efficient muscular girdle.
Even a flourish of the dust cloth
can count as exercise. AS you dust
the low furniture, do a deep-knee
bend to exercise calf, thigh and alb.
dominal muscles. Many a back
breaking task can be turned into
corrective exercise.
HOW 1T HELPS
Try to put some routine task TO
work for your figure Beauty
doesn't take as much time as it
takes determination. Just a few
minutes out of every "a hours will
condition your muscles for hold
ing your figure to smooth lines.
