lyrical III nature, IN Cne very last Gays
OF his life. while his mind was still
sound, his heart gay but earnest, and
his inventive genius ablaze-betWeen
September 81 and October 3, 1853. He
hoped and craved and pleaded with
Joachim, who was the greatest violinist
Of his time, to play it in public that
very same season. But the latter
seems to have taken too much time to
understand and master the great work,
and at the same time Schumanns
mind rapidly sank into melancholia
and mental illness from which he
never recovered.
"One of the great desires and pas
slons OF Robert Schumann in the last
sad and melancholic years of his life
was to compose great violin concerto
as the glorious and only violin con-
certos composed by Beethoven and
Mendelssohn. He attempted to carry
out this inspiration in the very twi-
light Of his active life when the lights
and shadows intermingled. He wrote
1t while the lights still fully dominated
the oncoming and depressing dark
clouds. Like all last-born issue, the
violin concerto, composed last, was
his and his wife Claras pet and con-
ISOLATION, their hope and anxiety. .
How they loved it and how they both
hoped and craved to hear it played in
public, is one of the most touching
episodes OF their last frustrated joys
IN life.
ON SEPTEMBER 2l, 1853, Robert
Schumann entered in his diary:
"A piece for violin commenced a. ;
A few days later he enters again: I
am diligently working on the violin
concerto - and on October he
writes: The concerto for violin COM
pleted, Brahms visited us, a ge-
MUS > On October 3 he writes:
The concerto is completely instru-
mented,' On the same day he rushed
the manuscript to Joachim with the
following letter: Here is something
new. 1t will give YOU a picture of a
sincere earnestness behind which often
reigns happy mood -. Often 1 saw
you in my phantasy when I wrote the
concerto :. Tell me everything, of
the parts that "unausfullrbarkeit
schmekt" (are impossible to execute)
I shall keep the score four more days,
as the orchestral parts must be copied.
The piano transcription and the violin
part you may keep ..
"On October 13. 1858, schumann
writes again to Joachim: Here is the
complete concerto; may it encourage
you! ... I believe it is easier than
my "Phantasie" (Opus l3D. The Or
chestra, too, is more effective" Then,
melancholically perhaps, oh, how
happy I will be if We can perform it

Joachim wrote to Robert Schumann
on November II. 1854: I am now
ready to play it for you. understand
1t better now than at the time played
1t for you in Hanover so unworthily, to
my great sorrow. 1t sounds so much
better now. Oh, those were glorious
days when you laughed SO heartily
when we all thought that the last
movement sounded as if Kociusco with
Sobiesky opened polonaise >
Later Joachim wrote to Clara Schu-
mann on October Is, 1857: Your Rob-
ert's violin concerto we must play often
together in Dresden. The last move

False perceptions are responsible for
many accidents. Statistics show that a
large proportion of railway crossing &C
cidents are caused by drivers actually
running into trains. Some of these &C
cidentS may he due to optical illusions.
Many persons do not have accurate
distance PERCEPTION. An object which
seems to them to be several hundred
yards away may be only few blocks
away. A person driving SO to 60 miles
an hour does not have sufficient time
to correct an initial misjudgment.
Anyone who is directly implicated in
any accident involving distance judg-
ment should have his eyes examined.
Until examinations are made it often
is difficult to determine whether or not
eyesight is bad.
Some of the large trucking concerns
are now requiring that their drivers
have their eyes checked. This pro-
vision will not only protect the truck
drivers and their cargoes; it will pro-
tect other motorists as well.
It is important for the driver of a
car to be in first class physical con-
dition as it is for the motor of the car
to be in good mechanical repair.

make the mistake of thinking we know
by instinct what is best for those
children
Perhaps even a very primitive society
has a suggestion for us. In far off
Samoa, children grow up without quite
so much emotional strain, apparently,
as children of a more complicated civili-
Zation often pass through. Perhaps one
reason for this is that their educational
scheme lacks the keenly competitive
element so prominent in our own. AS
the sociologiSt says, while proficiency
in some technique must set the Somoan
boy off little from his fellows
should not be too efficient, too out
standing, too precocious. He must never
excel his fellows more than a little
He must neither arouse their hatred nor
the disproval of his elders who are far
reader to encourage and excuse the
laggard than to condone precocity."
It is hard for us to visualize a society
in which children are not more or less
bounded, at the very least urged, by
emphasis on competitive sports, marks,
and other evidences of individual diff
ferences. We have indeed sold our
birth right for mess of pottage if we
are going to use our new findings about
the differences in children's equipment
as means of making them strive to
SurpaSS each other.

Annie Laurie Home Held
by the Family Since 1911

The home of the famous Annie
Laurie, the heroine of the Scottish
ballad sung in every corner of the
world, is known as the estate of
Maxwelton, Dumfrieshire, Scotland.
The ownership of this property goes
back more than 300 years, says a
writer in the New York Herald
Tribune.
Maxwelton House, originally a
fortress of the Earls of Glencairn
and known as Glencairn castle, has
been in the hands of the Laurie
family since 1911.
Seventy-one years later, in 1852,
Anna was born, the daughter of Sir
Robert Laurie. The first Baronet
Douglas of England, the author of
the original words of the ballad, was
her first sweetheart, but the engage
ment was broken off, and in 1709
she married Alexander Ferguson,
of Craigdarroch, a neighboring es-
tate. Her picture and that of her
husband hang in the dining room
at MaXwelton.
There are 1900 acres in the prop
erty, which overlooks the Cairn
river. In the house there are four
reception rooms, two boudoirs, fif-
teen bed or dressing rooms, two
bathrooms and servants accom-
mediation.

example, let's take an all white classic
sport frock. Today you will wear it
with a pig skin belt matching purse
and gloves and a white felt hat. To-
morrow wear it with a wider belt in
soft blue kid, matching fabric gloves
and purse. The next day wear it with
combination of raspberry and deli blue
And other color combinations that will
change the dress include turquoise and
fushia, strawberry and myrtle green;
yellow; purple and green; red; and
dusty rose. In place CT hats a band Of
fabric matching your accessory color
note may be twisted around the head
The neckline may be changed with an
ascot or colored kerchief.
1t is indeed true that one such dress
may become an entire summer ward
robe by the simple manipulation of &C
ceSsories and color combinations.
A certain head note is of much in
terest to us at this writing. I refer to
the vogue of wearing an all white hat
with all Diary early spring costumes. The
hat may be large or small, yelled or
felt or straw but it is all
white and worn right now with tailored
dark clothes. Later in the season a
wee changing of the trim will convert
the bonnet into midsummer pretty.

RESPECT YOUR CHILD'S
INDIVIDUALITY.

Many father whose sons talents did
not lie in the same direction as his own,
has nearly wrecked the course of genius.
Michael Angeles father intended him to
be a silk and wooden merchant, but the
accident that gave the child to stone
mason's wife to nurse, turned the scale.
For the little boy sketched in charcoal
on blocks of the Stone-maSonS yard as
soon as he could use his hands, and
beatings to turn his interest from draw
ing were of no avail. Rembrandt was
known as dreamer in his childhood;
Titan was reprimanded because when
putting together bits of the mosaic on
which he was working, he improvised
and altered to suit his own taste, in
stead of following the set and definite
pattern, as the artisan was supposed to
do. RaphaelS mother died when he
was eight, his father when he was
eleven, and if it had not been for the
sympathy of an uncle he would have
been thrust into work quite foreign to
his nature. Voltaire early showed his
thoughtful bent, but his father was
utterly disguised with his ambition to
be a poet. ''Faugh," he said, poets are
useless to society, a burden to their
relatives, and doomed to die of hunger"
The notary did not live to see the
wealth and ease which his brilliant son
rose to, through his chosen line of work,
but he would doubtless have been as
proud and astonished as are most
fathers whose talented sons take the
bit in their own teeth.
It is, of course, the hope of achieve
ment for their children that has SO
often made parents obtuse to those
children's possibilities. We all hope
great things for our children, but all too
frequently, We try to develop or fulfill
in our children'S lives ambitions that
belong to us rather than to them. 1t is
natural for each parent to think his
own children are cleverer and better
equipped than other people; let's not
