Brahms Life CoIorfuI
Forbiddine Manners of Later Years
Did Not Destroy Warm Character

fThts Is t1,e OF a series OF arti-
cles by The Stars music editor
on composers whose tDorks are
recorded In the music apprecta-
tton campaign. The Brahms re-
cording 1Das released this week.
Eugene Schumann, daughter Of
Clara Schumann, tells in her
memoirs how she and her brothers
and sisters stood in the hall of their
home one day when they were little
children and watched a young man
balancing on the balustrade with
his feet in the air, turning from
side to side supported only by his
hands and finally landing with
mighty leap at their feet. This
young man was Johannes Brahms.
1t is difficult to reconcile the
bearded, gruff man with this pic
ture Of him as youth of 18. Not
only had he changed considerably
In personal appearance but his
character seemed to have also
changed, for many are the stories
Of his sarcasm and i'll manners in
the last years of his life. But for
all OF this, the tender, idealistic boy
was not lost in the forbidding ex-
terror, for underneath he remained
true, loyal and honest to the end.
Sacrificed Trip to U. s.
That he carried the mark for
genius from his earliest years is
evidenced by the application and
originality that were to be found in
everything that he did in music
from the time he received serious
instruction. Although he was des-
tined for musical career by his
music loving father from the very
beginning, it was to be a career of
dance hall violin playing as a means
OF existence. 1t was only the fore
sight of his first two teachers that
directed his talent to a greater end,
even at the sacrifice of a trip to
America offered by an agent who
heard the 10year-old boy play his
first piano recital.
1t was by the chance meeting with
the Hungarian violinist Remenyi
that he was introduced to the world
beyond his little circle and by the
friendship of another violinist
Joachim, that he was gradually
brought to the notice of the inf1u-
ential musicians of the day. This
meant the severing of his much
loved home ties to a great degree,
although his growing fame could
never lessen his devotion to his
gentle, understanding mother or the

BY BETSY CASWELL,
Woman's Editor,

When one finds shining ex-
ample of the milk of human kind
ness in this all-too-self1sh world, 1t
warns the heart and does much to
restore ones faith in ones fellow
man!
Such an example walked into my
Office last week in the person of
Mrs. Claire Williams of Euclid
street. She had come solely to tell
us that our needlework pattern serv-
ice was most satisfactory-that the
patterns were excellent-and to dis
play pieces of lace and crochet and
embroidery made from these self
same patterns.
We have tried to insure the &C
curacy and artistry of these pat
terms at all times-and it was indeed
. pleasure to see how well our ef-
forts had borne fruit. Mrs. Williams,
. member of Concordia Lutheran
Church for many years, is an expert

Dorothy Dix Says>>>
In Taking Pretty Young Boarders
You May Lose Your Husband

DEAR MISS DIX-My husband
wishes to bring his stenographer, a
very pretty young girl of 10, who
is married but not living with her
husband, to live with us. He thinks
that to give her board would be
cheaper than to pay her more salary.
We have been very happy. Do you
think there would be any danger
in this arrangement? ALICE o.
Answer-I certainly do. think that
any woman is lacking in what our
Negro friends call "probusness" who
lets any woman younger and pref
tier than she is become an inmate
of her house. And this goes even
for parlor maids and sisters and
cousins.
A husband may be blind in one
eye and not see we'll with the other
He may be grumpy and hate every
thing that is pretty and young and
gay. OF course, he may be absolutely
trustworthy and halter-broken and
will stand without being hitched
But, on the contrary, he may not
and there isn't any sense in taking
chances Nobody knows just how
old and fat and settled a wife has
become until she is brought into

and lissom fapperdom. And in the
nature of things, wife can't always
be dressed up and looking her best

bowed in respect to her ability as
she showed us piece after piece OF
finely patterned filet, intricately
worked pictures" and texts, cro-
cheted bags-and countless other
specimens.
Mrs. Williams was gracious enough
to permit us to photograph her with
some samples of her handiwork
about her. (She tells us that her
home is filled with curtains, and
bedspreads and other embellish-
ments too numerous to get into the
picture, most of them made by our
patterns) We thought that our
other needleWorkers would be inter-
ested in seeing how well these pat
terms turn out in the making, and
we feel mighty proud that they have
lived up to our expectations for
them.
And we are more than grateful to
Mrs. Williams for her unsolicited

while the young girl has nothing to
do but primp.
Also, there are times when even
the most easy-going wife has to
make unpleasant communications to
husband and tell him of his faults,
and it doesn't help matters along
any or promote conjugal felicity
when there is some ravishing young
creature handy to sympathize with
him and tell him how he isn't appre-
ciated and is misunderstood.
So, lady. if you have a good hus-
band keep him good by keeping
temptation out of his way. It is
true that he is associated with this
girl all day at the office, but there
is small danger in that, because In
business hours a mans mind Is set
on making money and not on max
ing love. He is chasing the nimble
dollar and not a skirt. Besides, he
is harassed and worried and doesn t
feel sentimental.
But after dinner, when he is fed
and comforted and relaxed and
wants to be amused and diverted,
it's different story. Then he is
likely to make love to any pretty
young creature who is convenient
And that is why the wise wife
doesn't keep any potential lady
loves around the house. Safety
| First" is a good motto for wives.

By HELEN VOGT.

Psychology, even If we don't un-
derstand it, is wonderful thing.
Take, for instance, the shop
owner whose store was recently
presenting a fashion luncheon at
one of the large hotels. The owner,
a gentleman, sat at one of the
tables facing a number of empty
seats and the worried look on his
face increased until finally his staff
became desperate. One of his right
hand men walked over and said,
Look, Mr.. Blank. take my table.
All you can see are tables packed
to capacity" The switch was made;
the owner faced crowds of appre-
ciative women and the day was saved.
The only thing that puzzles us
about> this true story is how the
gentleman could find any empty
tables to look at All the fashion
shows are crowded these days and
you can hardly blame women for
wanting to see the new exciting
styles
Last Saturday, for instance, both
of the fashion luncheons were sue
cessful in presentation and In at
tendance. At the Raleigh Hotel
Charlotte Parker and the Shop In
dividual presented superb dresses
and hats respectively. Between

ruin them. Select wall finish and
furnishings that will have the low
est possible "scolding" percentage.
Washable wall finishes and repaint-
able furniture are excellent for the
first few years. A cork panel around
the room extending to a "high-
water" mark is a wonderful insula-
ton against the banging and pound
ing which starts around IA months.
From the second year on, it makes
a good background on which to pin
large sheets of paper for the paint
ing and drawing that would other

Plan for good ventilation and
arrange the furniture so that the
baby's bed will not be in draught.
A folding screen is almost a neces-
sity for the first months in order to
keep a direct breeze from the bed.
Be sure that the window screens may
not be pushed out, and unless yours
are the type on runners, have them
screwed in place and keep them in,
summer and winter. Also, be sure
that the wire is not weak from rust.
Furnishings
Are Simple.
A crib that is large enough to be
used comfortably up to 4 years
may be purchased. A chest of deep
drawers that is long and low is
better than the chest -on-chest type,

pulled out to make a ladder is a
dangerous mountain for any 2
year-old to climb, and the top rung
usually brings the whole thing over

accidents by not furnishing the

ners and tempers of both mother
and son. Other than the above
mentioned screen and a washable
rug on the floor, you have all the
necessities.
Your friends will furnish acces-
sories by the score. A tier of
shelves to hold the gift toys will
keep them off the floor and deco
rate the room as well. Place no
lamps or heavy breakable things
on low dressers until the child is
old enough to understand how
heavily they fall. Use wall fixtures,
out of reach, for light, and watch
out for base outlets. Secure wash
able draperies, slip cover and bed

Best Method
OF Handling
Daughter
Remember Young
Girl Has Mind
OF Her Own
BY ANGELO PATRI.

Mary is 10 years old, very good
In school, but becoming trial to
her mother. "She does not obey
without argument. When I tell
her to wash q few dishes she must
say, Why should I wash the dishes?
I have to do my lessons. Katie
never has to wash dishes,' and so
on and so on, until I am tempted
to slap her and send her to bed"
Intelligent little girls of 10 years
are beyond the stage where they
enjoy obeying orders. They have
reached the age of reflection and
they feel power and personal likes
and dislikes and pride of will STIR
ring in them. It would be tragic
If this were not SO. It follows then
that we change our attitude toward
them. Instead of issuing orders and
expecting them to obey at once be-
cause they cannot think and plan
for themselves, we offer co-opera-
ton and companionship because
they are thinking, reflective per-
sons.
Instead Of saying, Mary, wash
those Dishes" we might say, would
you like to do those dishes while
I get the vegetables ready? Then
We can go down the street and buy
the mushrooms for the sauce. John
said he would have them this after
noon." The hint Of cooperation, of
being 'in it," works wonders.
1t is time now to begin taking the
child into partnership. Share home
responsibilities and plans and prob
lens, as far as is possible without
OVERRIDING 1t. Teach the child, for
example, how to buy the vegetables
for dinner, the groceries and the
few bits Of clothing that are simple
enough for beginners to buy.
Take the child along to the mar
ket and teach her how to buy what
Is wanted so as to get the best pos
sible value for the money. Let the
child go along to buy important
dresses or coats, not just for fit-
tings, but to have some voice in
the selection. "A little preparation
at home ought to precede this ex-
perience. Talk over the style, the
color. the material that is to be
selected, and after that is decided
upon try to let the child do some OF
the selecting in the shop. BY slow
and careful steps she can be trained
in the use of money, In the use OF
her common sense and good judg-
ment. These experiences will helr
a great deal in making her feel i'm
portant and necessary In the family
Begin to talk things over with her
as you would talk to a woman close
to your own age Don't talk down
rather talk up. Tell her about the
trouble you are having with the fur
mace or the baby's diet, or ask if she
has noticed that the quality of the
towels you bought lately was better
than usual, Teach her to use the
telephone with ease and discretion
and good manners. Make her you,
intimate friend, without destroying
mutual reserve.
If little Mary is treated this wa,
along about her 10th year she viii

relationships with her. II, how.

Ny Neighbor Says:

Never water dish gardens or
cacti until they are thoroughly
dry. Do not overwater when
first potted. 1t is much better
to leave them dry for a few
days.
Add shelled roasted peanuts
to cooked. hashed, seasoned
squash. One-third of a cup of
peanuts will be enough for each
three cups of squash.
Store carving knives care
fully. Otherwise they are likely
to be dulled in rubbing together.
The ideal carving knife for hot
meat should have a stiff, thin
blade about 9 inches long. A
more flexible blade may be used
for cutting cold meats.
Spread grated cheese over
apples to be used in pie. Mem
bers of the family who insist on
cheese with their apple pie will
be delighted.
