"Before you begin to tell me about the dandies, Uncle," sald Teddy, 'ean you tell me what makes young fellows want to doll wp?" "It is, Teddy," repled Uncle Frank, "a symptom of a very dis- tressing disease, known as 'calf-love.' It generally takes its victims when they can be considered free from wheoping-cough, measles and mumps. Swollen-head is another symptom. The disease is not fatal, but in some Gases becomes a chromic complaint," "Gee, Uncle, I hope I never get it. I don't care a bit about clothes just now, and I do not think I ever shall." "Well, Teddy, the young fellows up the St. Joseph river, at & place | nalted Mikio, were dandies in spite of the fact that they had very little in the way of clothes. They combed thelr hair up straight, wore 8 white Jes thar or two stuck {n it haphazard, nd a long pointed porcupine-quill- Fke bone through the nose just above the lips.

She asked the men and they replied that it was because the white man was so beautiful. Archie pulled himself together, and likewise the five red haire in his moustache, but her next words left him in despair. "It is Mr. Wilson, not you, that is beautiful--he has such a fine nose 'tor the bone ornament." My word-- jbow I laughed.

To my utmost surprise I found my- self in the presence of a person who impressed me as a typical continental bueiness man, ready for a morning stroll on the boulevards, writes a visitor to the new King of Egypt. King Fouad, in conventional morning coat, ascot cravat and spats, smiling Pleasantly, extended his hand, with a hearty "Howdy" and dispelled the {llusions and nervousness that had seized me during my passage through the Imperial Palace of ancient t Only ome thing held Fopud -- in my illusions --- a little red fez worn Jauntily on his head; but, I reflected, every cottom broker and cigarette merghant ia Cairo wears a fez. There was nothing in the features or manner of the King of Egypt to suggest the Levant. With the excep- tion of the "Tarbush" or fez, which no Egyptian ever doffs, he impr me as a thorough European who might have come from Italy or Rou- mania. His slightly tanned skin con- veyed the only suggestion of swarthi- Bess except his large and dark mous- tache, to which he had imparted an slegantly waxed cur] at each end.

I wis for- tunate in my French; and the king responded--much pleased to dismiss the interpreter, Sadek. In the last seven years I have met sovereigns. King Nicholas talked of Serbia's sufferings; Albert spoke of the war; Marie of Roumania talked of literature and the drama: Con- stantine aired his grievances and am- bitions; King Fouad talked business. Egypt's new king revealed himself A thorough business man, a differ- once that marked him from the other sovereigns with whom I have talked. His views on commerce ang econo- mics in general are highly resarded by the business men: of Egypt and eagerly sought. Fouzd does not eon- Bne his economics to Egypt or the Mediterranean. His international viewpoint on commereial matters, and his ready knowledge on world mar- kets, is remarkable. As I listened to him, I felt as if I were sitting at the desk of a great captain of in- dustry in downtown New York in- stead of at the audience table of a king in Egypt.

The value of music as a ..eans of improving the mind' is now beginning t0 be remlized. Music has the same mind-training value as Latin, Greek and the higher forms of mathema- Alcs, with the added advantage that it can be taught in the lower grades and need pot be discarded when the stu- dent has complete his education. Authorities have gone far into the comparison of the absolute mental Concentration required in the study of mathematics and of musical art, and the consensus of opinion seems to be in favor of music in about the matio of 3 to 1. That is, one hour of 'ntensive application in the study of music is equal to three hours (some authorities place it as high as four jours) of intensive application in callouius or higher mathematics, This does not apply to the mere laying for amusement or in a per- 'unciory way, but to real reconstruc- 4ve mechanical and artistic work such as would be required in the study of solos .or etudes upon the piano, violin, ete., or in orchestral or band organizations, when_ studying and talked to half a dozen European' works by eminent composers, In such musical application certain rules must be carried out and follow- ed, the same order of application, 'he same éreative power and creative Ideas exercised which are used in the study of higher mathematics. The foregoing facts are {lluminat- Ing, bat it 1s a8 & mother and a club woman rather than as a musician that I wish to make my chief plea for full academic credit for orchestral work in our public schools. For six years, beginning with puplls "in the seven*h and eighth *rades, I have carried on an experi nent -in- orchestral work in our schools. The original orchestra was 'ormed as a possible solution of the nroblem, "How should we mothers use or occupy our boys' time during vacation, when the sole available form of amusement seemed to be 'movies' or baseball?" Bathusiasm was manifested from the first, and 1t was soon proven that a hidden chord in boy nature was touched by giving him an instrument to blow, & violin to play or a drum to beat---some instrument with which '2 work off the surplus energy of the adolescent period -and at the same time produce beautiful harmonies in eoncert, By fall, when school opened, inter- est had increased to such an extent that the boys' did not want to drop their orchestral work.
