violinist, whose popularity increases
with the years.
Each time Mr.. Kreisler appears in
concert one marvels anew at the
many facets of his genius. His re-
markable ability to etch the form of
what he plays with such clear lines,
the deft touches of accent or
rhythmic changes that bring into re-
lief the full content of the music, the
fire and swing of his delivery and the
warm fullness of tone that he draws
from his instrument, are his and his
alone and not to be initiated by
others. So impressive is the in
dlvlduality and the masterliness of
his playing, that any imperfection
such as an occasional lapse of pitch
is OF no Importance.
Yesterday he played two numbers,
his arrangement of Schumann's
"Fantasie in c Major" and the Viotti
Concerto No. % in A Minor" When
Mr.. Kreisler eXerts the power of his
imagination on some work of the
masters the result is bound to be in
terestlng. In the Schumann Fan
tasle' he has put so much vitality of
utterance and grace of phrase that
the somewhat uninteresting work
takes on new life. The "Fantasie."
dedicated to Joachim, was a wedding
anniversary present from Schumann
to his wife and its first performances
were received with great acclaim.
This arrangement, which is the
third Mr.. Kreisler attempted, adds
great breadth ard force to the
work, giving with turn of a phrase
more brightness and vigor, yet
Withal it has drawbacks that its
better moments cannot completely
obliterate. Mr.. Kreisler's perform
ance of it and of the Viotti con-
certo, so eXquisitely done as to put
new meaning into its period style,
brought forth a storm of applause.
Several times the artist was re-
| called to receive the vociferous ac-
claim that rang through the hall.
The orchestral high point was the
performance of Scriabin's Sym
phony No. g." known as "The Di-
vine Poem" This. together with
Johann Christian Bach's "Sinfonia
in B Flat Major" were the novelties
presented by Mr.. Ormandy. THE
Divine Poem is an inspired work
full of idealism and passionate striv-
ing expressed in massive orchestral
volume that at times gives way to
lyricism, to voice which a particu-
lar instrument is chosen. The three
divisions of the work, "Struggles,"
"Sensuous Pleasures" and Divine
Play" are to be discerned in the
music, for it is played without pause.
The tremendous power of the i'm
pulse forming the Poem" surges
with unabating intensity and with
rather awesome effect. The reading
given 1t last evening tended to stress
this point with less accent on its
more poetic moments. While the
orchestra played 1t with abandon,
there was not suficient suavity
when opportunity presented to en-
phasize the extraordinary chiaros-
euro of both idea and form.
Mr.. Ormandys direction Of it kept
the magnitude Of line and the up
ward reaching trend of the work
uppermost. The popular conductor
brings deeper and richer feeling
to his direction than ever before and

Dorothy Dix Says
Substitute Sweet Talk for Cross
And Notice Difference in Life

Dear Miss Dix: Why do husbands
not realize that taking their wives
too much for granted and not show
ing them affection kills their wives
love for them? I have one of the
husbands who think that so long as
they support their wives and treat
them decently it is unnecessary to
give them praise and f1attery. I
have always done more than my
duty as wife and gave my husband
all the affection I had to give and
got very little in return. And that
is why turned to another man for
love and affection, but he was false
to me, so now am left without even
that and have grown even more
silent and bitter. My husband and
I do not quarrel great deal, but
all affection and intimacy is lost be-
tween us and can never be recov-
cred and 1 find no pleasure in his
company. Isn't it pity that hus-
bands and wives must go on with
each other feeling that way?
A SILENT WOMAN.
AnSwer-It is. In all the world
there is nothing else so pitiful as
that so many husbands and wives
slay love between them and turn
their marriages, which should have
been little bit of heaven on earth,
into purgatory.
No one disputes that a happy
marriage is the greatest blessing
that can possibly come to any man
and woman. To be always with one

The Meaning
Of Word
Home
1mpersonal Things
Become Alive
With Love
By ANGELO PATRI.

Love makes place into home.
A house is just a house until love
touches it with creative power and
changes it into something-that in
tangible, terribly lovely heartache
that poets have tried in vain, for
ages, to set down in words.
Home! There is no lovelier word
No other word.
Love works miracle here as
everywhere A house stands with
sightless windows, unyielding doors,
its hearthstone cold, its spirit dead.
Tables and chairs, chests and beds
come from the shop, stiff impersonal
things that stand apart, wondering
why they came. Things SO far.
just things.
Then two people with love in
their hearts take over this house
and these cold things warm up and
become alive. A dented cushion.
lighted lamp beside a table, the
sound of voices, the feel of people
working, loving, living in this place
create new atmosphere.
The windows wake up and twinkle,
the doors assume a welcoming look,
the tables and chairs group them
selves graciously, the dog snoozes
in his chosen corner, child's voice
rings out. This is home, home
that will hold its family as long as
one is left to remember.
There comes a time in the life
of every home when the children
leave to make their way in the
world. The house feels empty and
there is an echo in the rooms and
in the two old hearts remaining
there. Memories are precious, but
flesh and blood children are closer
and warmer, especially at the SUM-
set hour. Home cannot but feel
a bit wistful, bit downhearted.
But news comes that sets the old
vibrations going. The children are
coming home, the children's children
are to see their home and know it
for their own.
Down come the battered little
chairs from the attic, the familiar
little beds from their corners. The
old rocking horse is furnished into
a circus charger and the cooky jar
is filled. Home is about to receive
its crowning honor, its completion.
It takes three generations to COM
plete home. One to teach, one to
learn, one to understand and express
it's meaning and it's values in their
daily living. One generation gath
ers, one spreads, one returns again
to its sources. So home is created.
So home Is enjoyed.

companionship of one of whom you
never tire and with whom you never

understanding and sympathy of some

All young people know these

as far as your appearance is con-
cerned. Brown shoes can be worn
with a suit of almost any color. al
though we prefer black shoes with
dark gray and blue suits. Our pet
hate is black shoes with a brown
or tan suit, but maybe that's lust
our own idea.
But far more vital than the color
of the shoes is their condition. That
means box of shoe polish and a
little elbow grease. Shoe trees are
inexpensive, particularly metal ones.
and they'll keep your shoes looking
better and make them wear longer.
Also, watch turnover heels.
Shirts, Ties
and Socks.
Buy shirts that are big enough
for you, so that the collars don't
spread too wide at the neck. or
choke you until your face looks like
a ripe tomato. Solid colors are best
If your suit has much pattern, or
If you are planning to wear
patterned tie. II your shirt is a bit
loud, then tone down the tie, per-
haps choosing a solid color.
And don't wear your ties until
they look like the hangmans rope.
Press them occasionally, and have
them cleaned when they need it.
Considerable color and pattern
are all right in socks, but too dizzy
stripes look as though you were
desperately calling attention to
your feet to keep people from look
ing at your face. It's a nice idea
to have tie and socks match to
some extent, at least, but not
must" by any means. The must"
is to make some arrangements to
keep the socks on your legs rather
than on your shoe tops, either by
means of elastic tops, rubber bands
or garters. Use glue or thumb tacks
if you must, but keep them up
The rest is merely matter Of
keeping your clothes looking decent.
Get acquainted with an iron, and
learn to do your own pressing if
you can't afford to take your suits
to the tailor. Your mother and the
laundry will take care of holes,
tears and buttons off if you give
them a little encouragement.

Dear Mrs. Post: The other day
went to see an acquaintance of mine
and found that bridge game was
going on. Please tell me what I
should have done.
Answer-You should have said
you'd come again soon, and left at
once. On no account should you
have interrupted the game.
Dear Mrs Post: What can I say
when people ask me my age and
don't want to tell it? 1 don't mind
their knowing it so much. really, as
resent their asking.
Answer - Make up anything -
whatever comes into your mind that
evades the question. For instance,

Change Comparatively
A Recent One.
Up until comparatively recent
times Q750 the lower and middle
classes of society were confined to
drab shades, coarse materials and
scrubby furs. Satin, velvet, taffe-
tas, fine laces, and cloth of gold
and silver were only for those in
exalted station. The same rule held
for furs like ermine and minever,
which retain their regal role in
the trimming of peers robes. Yet
any working girl" may buy them
at will-or excellent limitations.
How many girls who 60 to their
daily jobs looking like fashion plates
realize that only quarter of CEN
tury ago dress for the business girl
was burning question? People
wrote to the papers advocating uni
forms for office wear. Woman had
invaded mans sphere and she must
pay for this presumption, said the
reactionaries, with fiat heels. high
collars and unfeminine styles. When
sheer blouses first came in a regu-
lar storm of criticism swept the
country-but the furor petered out
during the war and the specter of
regimented type is not likely to
be revived.
I give thanks, not only for "our
daily bread" but for the choice and
quality of food available for the
middle-class purse. Even since 1900

riety.

torso and keep out the weather?
Rough fabrics are good this year,
and this kind of suit is a good buy
because after the trousers are worn
out, the coat can still be worn with
your slacks. However, don't go
completely delirious in choosing a
pattern. The checks that impress
you as being pretty fancy today will
make you vince with pain after
you've associated with them inti-
mately for six months.
And remember that dark suit
will always make you look neater
and more dressed up" than any
thing else, particularly when worn
with white shirt. So don't over
look the blues and dark grays, with
modest stripes or other patterns if
you like. They'll help you look your
best on occasions when sports
clothes might be too informal.
Hats Are Meant
To Be Worn.
A hat, in case you've forgotten, is
an article of clothing intended to
be worn on the head. And we mean
worn, not left on the top cupboard
shelf. If you want to go to school
or out with the gang without one
that's your business-or your doc
tors if you get pneumonia. But
when you have date, for the love
of love cover your hair with some
thing besides hayseeds!
You just don't look dressed when
you're bareheaded. So buy a hat
that goes well with your best suit
and get used to wearing it. A snap
brim will be best and we advise you
to plant yourself before a mirror
when there's nobody around and ex-
pertinent with it until you find the
angle at which it is most becoming
to you.
Most boys look best with hat
tilted quite little, instead of be-
ing planted squarely on top, like
lamp on a post. You can work out
your own ideas about creasing and
denting it, but don't try to achieve
the impression that it's just been
run over by a truck, complete with
trailer.
Next to a hat shoes are probably
the most important item of clothing

My Neighbor Says:

Any kind of a plant con-
tainer is all right if it is used
properly. A clay pot should
be used on a moist surface
either of sphagnum moss or a
commercial article designed for
this purpose. Thus the plant in
a clay pot has the same benefit
as plant in a greenhouse
which is grown in a moist
bench of soil, sand or cinders.
Add a teaspoon of corn
starch to each cup of sugar
when making fudge. This
makes it smooth and creamier.
When fish is to be served as
the main dish at a dinner, allow
one-half pound for each person.

size of a walnut. added to cream
soup just before serving, gives
it a delicious flavor.
