Three-F ourths of Orchestra Directors
Work Is Done at the Regular Rehearsals

The conductor as an outstanding
figure is comparatively modern in
novation. In the palmy days Of clas-
sical music. and in the opera house
until well-nigh the middle Of last
century, his duties were undertaken
by the first violin. I suppose that
the ART Of conducting, as WE know
it. may be said to have started with
Mendelssohn; but its development,
like almost everything else connect
ed with music, has been exceedingly
rapid, writes Francis Toye in the
Illustrated London News.
The public, despite their enthusi-
asm, really know very little about
conducting. They generally fail to
realize. to begin with, that at least
threc-quarters Of conductors work
Is done at rehearsal. What he does
in actual performance matters, of
course; but, provided that the foun-
dations of his Interpretation have
been well and truly laid at rehears-
al. ii matters comparatively little.
For this reason. the actual style of
a conductor is Of small Importance.
It may be restrained, it may be
exuberant; the result can be judged
only by the listener who is ready to
shut his eyes and forget about the

conductor and the orchestra alto
gether.
Needless to say, there is a tech
nique Of conducting as there is a
technique of everything elsa
clear beat, for. instance; independ-
ent and intelligent use of the left
hand. Some of the most successful
conductors get, so to say. beyond
this technique; some, for fear Of
rigidity, even make a definite point
Of avoiding the strict time beat.
Such methods postulate. Of course,
not only first class orchestra, but
an orchestra familiar with the con-
ductor's methods; tried on strange
body Of players, however talented,
they may lead to great confusion.
So it cannot be said that there is
any general rule universally binding
as to the methods that conductors
should or should not employ. The
ultimate test, as always with the
srts, is the result.

moral stamina, so that his tone was
regrettably lacking in irmness as
he replied:
well, l don't know. You've cer-
tainly given her fair, young name a
couple of black eyes"
only to the lawyer. And he won't
pass it on. He's sewed up, because
he doesn't want A. Leon to know
he's been butting in"
"Yes; that's true. Monday. Cor
mines coming back, you say? I'll
take couple of days to think the
thing over"
The result of his cogitation was a
note which he drafted and re-
drafted before he finally presented
it in typed form, for her approval.
Gloria did not approve. Far from
it. She wanted her five thousand
dollars. She wanted the five thou
sand for Marine. She wanted the
other five thousand for Martin. She
wanted to get even with Lawyer
Gormine. She emitted what. from a
less alluring source, might have
been designated as a squaWk.

HOUSEHOLD
QUESTIONS

Fresh Doughnuts.-Put freshly
made doughnuts into a covered
dish while they are still warm and
they will stay fresh longer.
Wash ChamOis Often.-Chamois
in which silver is stored away
should be frequently washed, if
the silver is to be kept bright.
Keeping Cream Fresh.-Cream
will keep fresh for a day or two
if placed in it's carton in a basin
half filled with cold water. Muslin
placed over the carton with the
ends touching the water will help.
Washing Hint.-Never use soap
on white silk. The soap should
first be dissolved in water before
laundering is begun.

make better weight gains if they
pause in the middle of the morn
ing, or take an after-school snack,
of fruit juice, or milk, and
crackers.
Aged persons often require more
than three meals. That is because
large, heavy meals might overtax
their digestiOns, and three light
meals do not usually provide ade-
quate nOurishment. For this rea-
son, nutritiOniSts advise that they
have a light, mid-afternOon pickup
of hot beverage and crackers;
and perhaps cup of hot b0uill0n
before going to bed.
Don't Overeaf
Thus, it is evident that there are
numerous instances when there is
justification for departing from the
accepted routine But it must be
remembered that as the number
of meals is increased, the amount
of food taken at each one should
be decreased. Otherwise, an un-
due strain may be placed upon the
digestive organs.
Then, too, no matter how the
days food is divided, it must pro-
vide all the substances required
for sound nutrition. Otherwise, the
body will be improperly nour-
ished, no matter how many meals
are consumed.
The diet should be built first of
all around the protective foods
milk, eggs, fruits and vegetables,
which are such an important
source of necessary minerals and
vitamins. 1t must also supply pro-
tein for growth and repair, carbo-
hydrates and fats for adequate en-
ergy, and sufficient bulk or cellu-
lose to promote normal elimina-
| ton.
Keep the Diet Balanced
Whether you serve three hearty
meals and forego eating between
times, or follow the plan of pro-
viding a mid-morning or mid
afternoon pickup, you should meet
the requirements for a balanced
diet. This, you will remember
from previous discussions, in
cludes a pint of milk for each
adult, quart for every child; an
egg for each member of the fam
lily, or at least three or four week
ly; one serving of a whole grain
cereal; one serving of meat, fish
or chicken plus second source of
protein, such as meat, nuts or
dried beans or peas; two vegeta-
bles besides potatoes, one of which
should be of the leafy green vari-
ETY.; two fruits or one fruit and
one fruit juice.

hand, it should be borne in mind
that dividing the days food into
what we Americans so often call
three square meals" is primari-
ly convenient custom. One rea-
son that it has grown up over a
period of years is because it al
lows the maximum free time to
pursue our various occupations. In
a number of countries, a fourth
meal is an accepted part of the
days routine. No Englishman,
for example, would consider 60
ing without his afternoon tea; and
workers pause in offices, stores
and factories, as we'll as at home,
for a brief rest and welcome re-
freshment.
How Many Meals?
In recent years, several scien-
lists have advanced the idea that
some of us may benefit by eating
more than three meals. At a lead
ing university a few years ago,
two distinguished investigators
concluded that smaller and more
frequent meals would promote
general health and well-being for
many types of individuals. They
suggested lighter meals, but pro-
posed as many as four, five. or
even six feelings day.
Another well-known authority
has performed various expert
ments which effectively demon
strate that a light additional meal
in mid-afternoon, consisting prin-
cipally of a milk beverage, in
creased the efficiency of workers
and helped to reduce fatigue.
Relieving Late Afternoon Fatigue
Many people experience a tired
feeling about four o'clock in the
afternoon. During the working
day, they gradually utilize availa-
BILE food energy, SO that by late
afternoon, the supply may be
greatly reduced-along with both
mental and physical energy.
Here is a case where eating be-
tween meals is regarded as a de-
cided advantage, provided the
food is carefully chosen. A glass
of milk and a few crackers, or
some other carbohydrate food, will
help to renew energy, relieve the
feeling of fatigue and bridge the
gap to dinner. 1t must be remem.
bered, however, that the extra
meal should be composed of light,
easily-digested foods SO as not tO
destroy appetite for the following
meal.
Young Children and Elderly People
Children of certain ages, as well
as adults, may benefit by a sched-
ule that includes an extra meal.
Very young children-in the tod
dler stage-are frequently given a
mid-morning feeding of orange
juice, or a mid-afternoon cup OF
milk with one or two crackers.
And some school children also

NEW YORK, May 19.-Marion
Talley, one-time Metropolitan Opera
soprano from Kansas City, denied
today she wished to keep secret the
birth of her daughter, now years
old, whose custody she is seeking
from her estranged husband and
former voice teacher, Adolph Eek
strom.
She also denied, under question
ing by Frank Delaney, Mr.. Eek
strom's lawyer, that she had asked
Miss Esther Lundell, Mr. Eckstrom's S
secretary, or Mrs. Edith Klein, a
friend, to keep it a secret.
Did Not Know Whereabouts.
Under questioning by her lawyer,
John S. Keith, Miss Talley said she
had no information as to the
whereabouts of her child from De-
cember, 1885, to October, 1898.
Mr.. Keith spoke of the irrecon-
cllable differences between Miss
Talley and her husband and asked.
Did Mr.. Eckstroms demand
through Mr.. Delaney for S15OOOO
have anything to do with it?"
"A great deal" she answered.
Under recross- examination bv Mr.
Delaney, Miss Talley admitted she
told her Los Angeles lawyer there
was no chance of reconciliation be-
fore there had been any mention of
money.
Questioned About Director.
She was then questioned further
about her friendship with Aubrey
Scotto, Hollywood director, and ad-
mitted he had driven her car during
