The planetary Sway for this day may not be interpreted as auspicious, except in the matter of Journeys or well-planned and deliberate changes. These may prove to be of benefit, but {so many of the lunar and mutual | aspects are adverse that it would be advisable not to invite disappoint- ment and disaster by unprepared- ness. - There are delaying and dis- ruptive forces in Operation, and these bear rule in financial, mercantile and professional activities. Health, business and domestic affairs are all under this inimical sway. Those whose birthday it is should endeavor to spend a quiet year, un- less certain opportunities for change or travel], be wisely embraced. Health; business and domestic af- fairs call for their best and calmest attention.

THE WHITE HOMESPUN SUIT Some Programmes I Have Met. There are more programmes that err on the side of being too long than of being too short, To locate the actual programme among the ads in the average theatre | Programme requires ga réading glass | with strong magnifying capabilities. It used to be thought by some city programme, almost, would go out in the country. Now they know that the village music lovers want practically the same music as their city cousins. would briefly decline what a 'recita- tive' is," said a woman in the audi- ence to her companion, "but, I see here in the programme that recitative is a portion of an opera or an ora- torio which cannot be adapted to a § | melody but which is nevertheless an important part of the composition." At a certain concert a short time 2go the people were following their programmes closely but it was of little use for the order published was {not followed at all. Almost every number was interchanged with some- thing else. It is not always possible to follow out a predetermined sche- dule without alteration but when a programme is printed it ought to be run off without much change. in some quarters it would seem that the more fuss made in changing the order of the numbers the more "Class" it gives the programme, A recent programme gave promin- ence to this among the notes: The real difficulty about musie is that of won't stand still. If it were oniy stationary, like a skyscraper, so that one might study its construction! The resemblance betwéen music and arch- itecture has often been noted, but it Is not very obvious to the average person because he is not conscious of the fact that music has structural beauties as well as emotional appeal. Most people, indeed, need to hear a piece several times before they be- come aware of the fact that it con- sists of separate sections built into a symmetrical form, having unity of desiga--exactly like a building.

As pockets crowded with all Seka ticles necessary to the woman wio is engaged in business, who shops fin the city stores, or who attends the t ater, are taboo, some sort of handb most necessary. For practical purposes leather, pin seal or walru ¢ metal or seif-mounting is qu thing. Suede, too, fashions a tailored flat purse which, with shell front and gold and ename clasp, is quite smart enough the most elaborate of suits. { For the more leisure hours a aiff ent kind of bag is shown. One is of rose taffeta and finished around the edges with rose bead balls. An at- tractive little case is of gold with a design in pale blue enamel work om the front. A tiny circular space for the monogram is cut out in the enamel 80 that the gold shows. It has a finely wrought gold chain which slips on over the finger, A fascinating bag of silk is com- posed of three ruffles attached to a mounting of carved ivory suggestive of the Orient, while a small envelope purse is of black and white beaded strips worked in diagonal style. The fastening is of bright-green enamel, int The Ancient Harps of Ireland. The ancient Irish harp was of two kinds--a small instrument used chiefly for religious purposes, first by the old Druids in their rites, and later by the Christian bishops and abbots. The other harp was large, end was used in public assemblies and in battles, The bag-pipés were introduced into Ireland from Caledonia, They had the same use in the Irish armies they But the Irish made, in the course of time, an improvement" using bellows to fill the chanter, instead of the mouth, and contintdd improving the instrument until the union-pipes of today are the result. As to early Irish harpers and their music there is little known, at Queen Elizabeth's court, rich tunes were popular. Of late huge books of ancient Irish melodies have been col- lected and arranged, Petrie has at- tracted special attention to this field by his thorough investigation of Irish folk musie. The Influence of Music. The purchase of phonographs is not limited to individuals, - Stores and corporatibne are today buying phonographs for the recreation of their employees or more subtly for the increasing of the attractiveness of their places of business in a way which aids in making sales. .In re- cent issue of "Offices Appliances," a writer says: > "Music Is the language of the emo- tions, It is good or bad, deeply sig- nificant or superficial as the purpose to which it is put suggests. On its waves thé human spirit is tossed in the sunlight of ecstacy or dashed on The Organdie Mats. Organdie hats are here.

And to the extent that it stirs desiré for merchandise, awakens memories suggesting the purchase of merchandise and brings about a state of mind receptive to the selling points of merchandise--so far is music a practical aid to the merchant in gathering unto himself the good will and currency of this trade." One Man Makes Country Music, The musical tradition of Esthonla, that little republic that has sprung up on the Russian side of the Baltic, dates back to the latter part of the past century, when music was made the most important number of tne educational programme in the pub- lic schools, and when the whole coun- try was covered with a chain of musi- cal societies, amateur choruses and villages orchestras. The man who put music on such a high pedestral was not a rich man or a musician, but a newspaper editor, Dr. A. K. Herman. His newspaper began to emphasize the fact that musical subjects had first page pos» tion. He then launched a musical periodical, which became the semi- official organ of all the musical so- cieties, Under his untiring efforts more than two hundred country choruees were formed among farmers and working men, and nearly every school estah- lished a chorus. Finally these chor- uses established a festival; that herd at Tartu in 1880 was particifated mn | by 2,000 singers. This was the be- ginning of a musical revival which stirred up the whole country. Interesting Briefs. Meyerbeer's "L"Africaine' oc {cupled his energies, at intervals, for [26 years, and it was not presented | finally until after the composer's death. "We are a sporting. nation" says {the London, England, "Musician," | "and like a sporting atmosphere wherever possible, which accounts largely for the tremendous popularity of competition festivals for choirs, brass-bands, and the like, Held up during the war, many of these festi- vals are again in full swing. Their possibilities for educating the public and spreading musical culture are enormous." Lully, as famous, perhaps, in his day as any composer died a singular death. He was beating time to a Te Deum he had composed in: honor of Louis XIV of France. He used for this purpose a walking-stick, with which he struck his foot--with sucn violence that he died from the effects of the blow. The metronome is a dril] instruc- tor. Off duty he allows the solater certain freedom but on duty exact- ness is demanded. The click of the pendulum: ig the command for strict time. The metronome ghows no fav- orism. Whether it is keeping time for a march, a waltz, a sonata, the faltering attempt of the young be- ginner's exercises it is absolutely 1m- partial, though it never scolds nor praises. And that is the secret of its success. Having no prejudices in favor of or against anyone, it always performs {ts helpful mission fairly and justly, Edward Perronet, of French ex- traction, is remembered in one con- nection, and one only, as the man who gave to the world what is said to be the most triumphant hymn in the English language, a sort of Brit- ish Te Deum, 'one that has made the tunes "Coronation" and( "Miles Lane" famous. That sacred song is "All Hail the Power of Jesus' Name." A traveller who has visited extensive- ly in both Europe and America says the tune '"Miles Lane" is used more frequently in Britain and "Corona- tion" is used more here. If anyone wants a good example of the trium- phant note in music let him listen to four thousand men in a big gather- ing sing "All 'Hail the Power of Jesus" Name" to the tune "Corona- tion" It is most impressive, The sea-cow, or dugong, is a her- bivorous water animal found in the Red Sea and East.
