There Is scarcely anything in the world, even to happiness, that cannot be bought for money, ac- cording to John Graham Brooks, who yesterday morning, at the Hudson Theatre, addressed the League for Political Education op "Money and Marriage." "People say you cannot buy happiness for money,',' he said. "It Is a lie. You can buy a great deal of happiness for money. You can buy some peace of mind, though that is harder to get. You can buy a beautiful woman, or two beautiful women. You can buy a gartered duke and all his possessions as you would a piece of blue ribbon. And you can buy whole shoals of dapper little counts. You can buy the press. There are very few. even of re- 'MARRIAGE AXT) MONET. sleeve Is. of course, quite in accord with the tendency toward the Second Empire modes. Large shawl collars dropping over the tops of the sleeves and somewhat compressing; them are much liked, and there are other mo in- I fichu forms. Several of the best couturiers are retaining the short walsted skirts as a feature of their new models, but the tops are quite different from those worn with the now passfe Empire gowns. A good example is a gown suitable for the theatre or the restaurant dinner, for it is supposed to he completed by a hat mad*» of old blue crepe trimmed with a little velvet in a slightly deeper shade. The skirt is untrimmed and hangs from a high draped belt of velvet. For the top is a little close cape of old lace, the tint of ivory, bordered all about with velvet and closing to make a pointed deeoUetage at the base of the throat. The cape is somewhat short of the elbow, but there are under sleeves of the crepe embroidered with silver. One sometimes sees on the street a short coat of tan or black cloth worn with a skirt of fancy wool or velvet. This innovation, for it cenaln'.y is one, may become more prominent in the spring, but it is doubtful if it will have a last- ing influence. That a short coat shall match the skirt has been the dictum for so many years, and it is difficult to get away from the idea that this Is th* only correct form of dress. Nevertheless, a costume seen in the Bois the other niornin? looked most attractive on the slender, youthful wearer. The skirt was lihrl; and white checked velvet, made with broad boa pleats and just clearing the ground. The short jacket, slightly curved to the figure, but on the paletot ordt r. was of su»Vle colorel cloth with a shawl collar of suede and trimmed with small, kid covered buttons. One could see a glimpse of red waistcoat, and the hat was \u25a0 broad, fiat toque of red velvet, having on one sMe a bunch of fancy red feathers. FYinge has been used discreetly all winter. and occasionally it is the dominant note of a gown. A costume of hlt:e velvet has the bodice Shaped like a big shawl collar, crossing in front and edged all about with a silk ball fringe. The hi^ .nrmhole seen again here is finished with the fringe, giving the idea of a sleeveless bodice. The sleeves are of lace In th" sam» shale of blue nnd fall into high chinchilla cuffs. Another costume with fringe is a gray rlofh, trimmed with gray nnd steel passf menterie. There are f. mr embroidered panels on tho skirf. finished with a deep fringe of silk and steel. The gown has a high draped corselet of lib- erty satin, and over this Is a round collar, with no visible closing, covered with the passemen- terie embroidery nnd finished with fringe. llglouspapers, that you can't buy. - You can. buy a little child. In short. If ' you only hava shekels enough, there can hardly be a limit set to what you can buy." i ";\i.r The relation of this tremendous power to th« subject of marriage Mr. Brooks found in its inter- ference with the ideal element nature alms at la .such unions, the "deeper elective affinities," which. if allowed free Interaction would produce "a. nobler' and more vital race than the world has ever seen." What socialism willdo for marriage. Mr. Brooks went on to explain, would be 'to.eliminate this irrelevant element. "It will do this." iie said, "by fixing thing* so chat you can't cut off any more coupons. You can't buy coupons at the postofflce. because the postofflce. though it Isn't very well run, is rust for tho people. #>c government is going to take over the other lings in which you invest your money, as it la doing In New Zealand and some other countries. You won't have any more of these ingenious devices for separating class from class and creating the savage worship of wealth. You. may be able to leave your children as much money as vii 1 h.iv? earned, but there will be no more o. this coupon business and no more of th« thing which has been the ghastliest, blackest bit of American history, that written by the children of the excessively rich. It may se*-m dreadful to you not to be able to leave money to your children. but they will be educated for real Independence, not for the dependent existence which, throughout the history of the world, has been called Inde- pendence. a child won't look forward and ask when grandmother la going to die. and women will be as Independent as men and, therefore. > free from the bread-and-butter form of marriage. "All this talk we have been hearing from Carne- gie. Roosevelt and others is just the beginning of •> new use of the powers of government, and when we get rid of the excesses of capitalism and th« organized snobbery that goes with them the insti- tution of the family will he, far safer thin it has ever been befcro." Mr. Brooks does not share the opinions of those socialists who assert that marriage is no one's business but that of the persons Immediately con- cerned. "It is one of the strangest freaks of reason." he said, "thai per* who lay supreme stress on ccl- lecti\ ity should see in marriage only an affair of the individual man and woman. This Is the patois of the anarchist, and socialists throw overboard their own Intellectual baggage when they use it. I.ova may be no one's business but one's own, but the children which In the ordinary course of events are the cutcome of marriage are the concern of society and out of the experience of a thousand years soci- ety has learned to have Itself represented at the wedding." ."\u25a0 L' Mr. Brooks admitted that in a perfect state of society there would be, no reason why marriage sho»ld not tak? place without legal sanctions, but | the sort of humanity we have to deal with now ha i considers to be another matter. WIDE ARMHOL.ES MOPISH. From the same source comes a visiting cos- tume of heliotrope cloth. The skirt has a deep band of embroidery! -1 me in silks of the same shade, with a little pale blue passementerie, and the sleeves and emplacement to the bodice are entirely embroidered, The top is a blouse unite loose in front, much on tho lines of those worn two and three yean :ik >. It Is trimmed with straps outlining the yoke, and on" «trap passes from the shoulders under the arms, suggesting a wide armho'.e. The sleeve Is the Japanese form, with a turnover cuff of the plain stuff on the bottom. It covers the elbow over a puff of .rip.- in the same shade, which meets .'t three-quarter length glove. The big armhole in this gown, even more than the Japaness si eve. is Important, aa it is undoubtedly to be one of the features of the spring modes. An- other form of sleeve which is beginning to ap- pear has a eloping shoulder, with a rather tight armhole well over the arm. and then a balloon sleeve to a little below the eloow. This latter rectoire fad, with the full, short skirt and the bandeau of the Second Empire?" is a question being agitated by dressmakers and laymen alike. Mme. Rejane has made her debut as a manageress in "l,a Savelli." a beautiful pro- duction, laid in the time of the Second Empire. Somehow the modes of the time do not seem so out of place to-day, and it must be confessed that several features of them are prominent in up to date . ostumes. The coiffeurs, too, say that hair dressing is growing much lower and on lir.es of the time of Eugenic. Bandeaux shad- ing but not concealing the ears and rather a low careless chignon made of one thick strand of hair are the features of this style of coiffure, which is rapidly becoming the vogue. Th* denier cri in evening coats is to have them the same color as the gown and made to correspond in genera! features. The Increasing number of evening cloaks Which r. well gowned woman considers necessary is an illustration of the whole trend of the times. More and more insistence Is being laid on accessories a fact meaning that the whole wardrobe is grow- ing more complicated and costly. The fashions even in such serious items as jewels and furs do not remain quiescent, but seem trt change over night. Every new entertainment appears to be responsible for come novel way of wear- ing jewels or having them set. Undoubtedly great quantities of false stones are worn; other- wise the family jewels would be undergoing the process of transformation two-thirds of the time.. However, the ttrni false or imitation jewelry is never used; stor.es are "reconstruct- ed" or they are "mechanical." There are a v- eral places in Paris irbich deal entirely in this kind of Jewelry. They look to the casual passer- by like the most serious and 'ligh class of kind of shop, and there is no sign to Intimate that th'> 1" w pieces of jewelry discreetly shown are nol real. Their prices are by no means cheap. for their dcsiirns are costly and beautiful and :<li the small diamonds us d In the pettings are true stones. A costume that Paquln lias recently made for Mine, le Bargy has an odd top. which suggests ;• 1 ape with the sides drawn together and fitted under the arms. The fronts, which meet at th>> waist line, are buttoned to a little corselet vest piece, and on one side th^re is a tiny watch pocket. There are no armholes, the cape forming a sleeve to the elbows over an under- slerve of white lace. There is a shawl collar running to nothing whore the buttons begin. The decolletage Is filled In with a cravat of lace. The material of the gown is golden brown meteor*- crepe, and satin in th* 3 same shade forms the shawl collar, bias bands on the Bkirt and cape, the flan to the little pocket and the buttons. Not Only Frocks, but Nurses, Govarne^ses and Nurseries Must Conform to London Ideas Madame's Coiffurs Is Changing. ParK January 4. and the French child who prattles about Santa Paris has experienced nn English holiday Claus and hangs up his stockings seems season. Christmas tree*, plum pudding and almost to hay» forgotten the pauvre petit. Noel btfly. items which n few years ago were re- who walks across th-> snow with his little hare garded by the French as curiosities, are now feet to put a present in the shoe of the good \u25a0imosi as common as they would be r=t home, > lilld and a bunch of sticks in that of the bad. Amongr French women of fashion it is the fad of the moment that everything pertaining to children shall be conducted on the English principle. Bahles have uniformed trained Eng- lish nurses and older children are in the hands of a "miss," as the nursery governess Is called. French mothers talk of their "nursery" as glibly as if until now a room set apart for children were not as unknown as any substitute for the word nursery in the French language. Eng- lish ideas of discipline for chldren are undoubt- edly sound, but one sometimes wonders whether the French tots are quite as happy with thi- English governess, with her to them strange ways and stranger tongue, ns with the old fash- ioned nounou. as ready to pet as to scold, and with never a theory in h?r big. ignorant head. With other English ideas has come a change Jn the dressing of children. Most small hoys wear the English sailor suit, with the proper hat and reefer coat. Scotch suits are In great favor both for girls and boys, and even best goVns are treated to fewer frills and ribbons than of yore. The day may como when the school child shall be exempt from the all-en- veloping black apron, but school mistresses are a conservative lot, arid nothing else seems to conform to the scholastic atmosphere. FROCK FOR GIRL OF TEN. The holiday seascn Is apt to moan new frocks, and the private shops which cater to children have an Interesting array of good models. The now idea in a straight frock for a piii of eight to ten lies in the fact that it has no bell and curves in slightly at the natural waistline. It hangs in liox pleats partly Btitched to :i fitted lining,and over the shoulders are lace bn telles framed in hands of velvet th»- same color ns the dress, the yoke consisting of lace points framed In velvet. The full sleeves fall Into a lace and velvet cuff put on a little below iho olliow. The kilt skirt In the original Scotch plaid with reefer coat is worn aa a street suit by little girls. Tliis may be completed by a Jersey top. or there may be a bodice to correspond to the pleated skirt. A smart frock of red cashmere is made with a pleated skin trimmed with three rowa of Plaid braid. This Is attached to the lining, which is concealed by a dosed bolero trimmed gayly with braid and cut decollete to show a yoke of rod embroidered white guipure. The Jacket is trimmed with embroidered cashmere covered hwt'ons and is short enough to show a cash of red liberty silk. The yoke naturally is a part of the body of thp frock, and the bolero makes the second piece. A party dress which conies from a smart place Is so simple that it could be copied by a home dressmaker by using an embroidered flounce- cut in little teeth on tho edge. The one-piece gown Is made with a low belt, and the skirt part is of the flounce, with a tiny ruffled £d«e of Valenciennes. The foundation gown is of pink taffeta, with two lace ruffles at th>* edge to fill In the spaces left by the points of the 0111- broldery. The same deep flounce makes a bo- lero top, filled in to the belt line with nil over Valenciennes, and the embroidery finishes with small points In a fifjuare d£colletage. Tin' sash and bretelles nr»' of soft pink ribbon. LOW COIFFURE IS COMING. "Is fashion going to repoat the experience of the last century and follow the declining Di- "The WcrK I Lt'Ke "Best."

Dear Editor: My favorite work or occupa- tion is the study of music I do not sing, but have taken piano lessens since I was eleven years old. I never realized how much it meant to me or how much I loved it until I became ill, Just a year ago, and underwent a dreadful operation in Brooklyn. I lay In bed '.here for five months, and tor the first month or so I missed ir.y music v;;y much. Later my gen- eral health became so much better (but my •wound etlll kept me in bed) that it was de- elded that I should take mask: lessons in bed: During tha last three months my music teacher came regularly once a week and gave me lessons In Snger exercises. At the majority of the lessons I lay on my back in bed (not being able to sit up even for an hour), and we placed a large, stiff piece of cardboard on tha bed either at my right or left side, and I prac- tised my finger exercises, one hand at a time, on that, with the metronome, every day. This I quite enjoyed, for it gave me something to do and kept my fingers In working order, so that when I was well again they would be strong and In practice. Table exercises were by no means all that I did. I studied harmony and the lives of th.- composers. After I had read the life of a great composer I had to write a composition on it, and now I have a blank book just for those compo- sitions. - I had still another study, which was the hardest of all. though for that reason I enjoyed it most. This was the memorizing of a piece which I had never heard on the piano nor seen before. It was IfacDowell's "To a Waterlily." It took quite some time to i^arn It, and, as it was, I did not know It all by the time I left Brooklyn. I memorized it in such a way that I could see the music in my mind's eye and. recite the notes Just they came, to my nurse, every day. I not only learned the notes, but the time and fingering also. The fingering was the hardest. \u25a0When I was able to sit at the piano 1 played th<i first part of the piece without the- notes before me. Ail this took much time, and helped many en hour to pass quickly and happily in the hot city, when I was so longing to be home In the beautiful country. .1 think I like the study of music best, because It not only affords me, but others also, much pleasure. I am not naturally musical. I cannot play by ear. as others in our family can, but I have always loved to hear music, and to read it Is one of mv chief pleasures. It is wonderful to me to hear the fine organists play so mag- nificently on the large organs in the great New York churches'.' I hope many others derive as much pleasure from the study of music as does your Interested reader and friend, PAULINE IE. DAKIN. Cherry Valley. N. T. JUST WAITING.

John Graham Brooks Defines TheirRelation —Future of Society.

There Is scarcely anything in the world, even tohappiness, that cannot be bought for money, ac-cording to John Graham Brooks, who yesterdaymorning, at the Hudson Theatre, addressed theLeague for Political Education op "Money andMarriage."

"People say you cannot buy happiness for money,','he said. "It Is a lie. You can buy a great deal ofhappiness for money. You can buy some peace ofmind, though that is harder to get. You can buy abeautiful woman, or two beautiful women. Youcan buy a gartered duke and all his possessions asyou would a piece of blue ribbon. And you canbuy whole shoals of dapper little counts. You canbuy the press. There are very few. even of re-

sleeve Is. of course, quite in accord with thetendency toward the Second Empire modes.Large shawl collars dropping over the tops ofthe sleeves and somewhat compressing; themare much liked, and there are other mo in- Ifichu forms.

Several of the best couturiers are retainingthe short walsted skirts as a feature of theirnew models, but the tops are quite differentfrom those worn with the now passfe Empiregowns. A good example is a gown suitable forthe theatre or the restaurant dinner, for it issupposed to he completed by a hat mad*» of oldblue crepe trimmed with a little velvet in aslightly deeper shade. The skirt is untrimmedand hangs from a high draped belt of velvet.For the top is a little close cape of old lace,

the tint of ivory, bordered all about with velvetand closing to make a pointed deeoUetage at thebase of the throat. The cape is somewhat shortof the elbow, but there are under sleeves ofthe crepe embroidered with silver.

One sometimes sees on the street a short coatof tan or black cloth worn with a skirt of fancywool or velvet. This innovation, for it cenaln'.yis one, may become more prominent in thespring, but it is doubtful if it willhave a last-ing influence. That a short coat shall matchthe skirt has been the dictum for so manyyears, and it is difficult to get away from theidea that this Is th* only correct form of dress.Nevertheless, a costume seen in the Bois theother niornin? looked most attractive on theslender, youthful wearer. The skirt was lihrl;and white checked velvet, made with broadboa pleats and just clearing the ground. Theshort jacket, slightly curved to the figure, buton the paletot ordt r. was of su»Vle colorelcloth with a shawl collar of suede and trimmedwith small, kid covered buttons. One could seea glimpse of red waistcoat, and the hat was \u25a0broad, fiat toque of red velvet, having on onesMe a bunch of fancy red feathers.

FYinge has been used discreetly all winter.and occasionally it is the dominant note of agown. A costume of hlt:e velvet has the bodiceShaped like a big shawl collar, crossing in frontand edged all about with a silk ball fringe.The hi^ .nrmhole seen again here is finished withthe fringe, giving the idea of a sleeveless bodice.The sleeves are of lace In th" sam» shale ofblue nnd fall into high chinchilla cuffs.

Another costume with fringe is a gray rlofh,trimmed with gray nnd steel passf menterie.There are f.mr embroidered panels on tho skirf.finished with a deep fringe of silk and steel.The gown has a high draped corselet of lib-erty satin, and over this Is a round collar, withno visible closing, covered with the passemen-terie embroidery nnd finished with fringe.

llglouspapers, that you can't buy. - You can. buy alittle child. In short. If'you only hava shekelsenough, there can hardly be a limit set to whatyou can buy." i";\i.r

The relation of this tremendous power to th«subject of marriage Mr.Brooks found in its inter-ference with the ideal element nature alms at la

.such unions, the "deeper elective affinities," which.if allowed free Interaction would produce "a. nobler'and more vital race than the world has ever seen."

What socialism willdo for marriage. Mr.Brookswent on to explain, would be 'to.eliminate thisirrelevant element."It will do this." iie said, "by fixing thing* so

chat you can't cut off any more coupons. Youcan't buy coupons at the postofflce. because thepostofflce. though it Isn't very well run, is rustfor tho people. #>c government is going to takeover the other lings in which you invest yourmoney, as it la doing In New Zealand and someother countries. You won't have any more of theseingenious devices for separating class from classand creating the savage worship of wealth. You.may be able to leave your children as much moneyas vii1 h.iv? earned, but there will be no more o.this coupon business and no more of th« thingwhich has been the ghastliest, blackest bit ofAmerican history, that written by the children ofthe excessively rich. It may se*-m dreadful to younot to be able to leave money to your children.but they will be educated for real Independence,not for the dependent existence which, throughoutthe history of the world, has been called Inde-pendence. a child won't look forward and askwhen grandmother la going to die. and women willbe as Independent as men and, therefore. > freefrom the bread-and-butter form of marriage.

"Allthis talk we have been hearing from Carne-gie. Roosevelt and others is just the beginning of •>new use of the powers of government, and whenwe get rid of the excesses of capitalism and th«organized snobbery that goes with them the insti-tution of the family will he, far safer thin it hasever been befcro."

Mr. Brooks does not share the opinions of thosesocialists who assert that marriage is no one'sbusiness but that of the persons Immediately con-cerned.

"It is one of the strangest freaks of reason." hesaid, "thai per* who lay supreme stress on ccl-lecti\ ity should see in marriage only an affair of theindividual man and woman. This Is the patois ofthe anarchist, and socialists throw overboard theirown Intellectual baggage when they use it. I.ovamay be no one's business but one's own, but thechildren which In the ordinary course of events arethe cutcome of marriage are the concern of societyand out of the experience of a thousand years soci-ety has learned to have Itself represented at thewedding." ."\u25a0L'

Mr. Brooks admitted that in a perfect state ofsociety there would be, no reason why marriagesho»ld not tak? place without legal sanctions, but

| the sort of humanity we have to deal with now haiconsiders to be another matter.

WIDE ARMHOL.ES MOPISH.From the same source comes a visiting cos-

tume of heliotrope cloth. The skirt has a deep

band of embroidery! -1 me in silks of the sameshade, with a little pale blue passementerie, andthe sleeves and emplacement to the bodice areentirely embroidered, The top is a blouse uniteloose in front, much on tho lines of those worntwo and three yean :ik >. It Is trimmed withstraps outlining the yoke, and on" «trap passesfrom the shoulders under the arms, suggestinga wide armho'.e. The sleeve Is the Japaneseform, with a turnover cuff of the plain stuff onthe bottom. It covers the elbow over a puffof .rip.- in the same shade, which meets .'tthree-quarter length glove. The big armholein this gown, even more than the Japanesssi eve. is Important, aa it is undoubtedly to beone of the features of the spring modes. An-other form of sleeve which is beginning to ap-pear has a eloping shoulder, with a rather tightarmhole well over the arm. and then a balloonsleeve to a little below the eloow. This latter

rectoire fad, with the full, short skirt and thebandeau of the Second Empire?" is a questionbeing agitated by dressmakers and laymenalike. Mme. Rejane has made her debut as amanageress in "l,a Savelli." a beautiful pro-duction, laid in the time of the Second Empire.Somehow the modes of the time do not seem soout of place to-day, and it must be confessedthat several features of them are prominent inup to date . ostumes. The coiffeurs, too, saythat hair dressing is growing much lower andon lir.es of the time of Eugenic. Bandeaux shad-ing but not concealing the ears and rather alow careless chignon made of one thick strandof hair are the features of this style of coiffure,which is rapidly becoming the vogue.

Th* denier cri in evening coats is to havethem the same color as the gown and made tocorrespond in genera! features. The Increasingnumber of evening cloaks Which r. well gownedwoman considers necessary is an illustrationof the whole trend of the times. More andmore insistence Is being laid on accessories

—a

fact meaning that the whole wardrobe is grow-ing more complicated and costly. The fashionseven in such serious items as jewels and fursdo not remain quiescent, but seem trt changeover night. Every new entertainment appearsto be responsible for come novel way of wear-ing jewels or having them set. Undoubtedlygreat quantities of false stones are worn; other-wise the family jewels would be undergoingthe process of transformation two-thirds of thetime.. However, the ttrni false or imitationjewelry is never used; stor.es are "reconstruct-ed" or they are "mechanical." There are a v-eral places in Paris irbich deal entirely in thiskind of Jewelry. They look to the casual passer-by like the most serious and 'ligh class of kindof shop, and there is no sign to Intimate thatth'> 1" w pieces of jewelry discreetly shown arenol real. Their prices are by no means cheap.for their dcsiirns are costly and beautiful and:<li the small diamonds us d In the pettings aretrue stones.

A costume that Paquln lias recently made forMine, le Bargy has an odd top. which suggests;• 1 ape with the sides drawn together and fittedunder the arms. The fronts, which meet at th>>waist line, are buttoned to a little corselet vestpiece, and on one side th^re is a tiny watchpocket. There are no armholes, the capeforming a sleeve to the elbows over an under-slerve of white lace. There is a shawl collarrunning to nothing whore the buttons begin.The decolletage Is filled In with a cravat oflace.

Not Only Frocks, but Nurses, Govarne^ses and Nurseries MustConform to London Ideas

—Madame's Coiffurs Is Changing.

Amongr French women of fashion it is thefad of the moment that everything pertainingto children shall be conducted on the Englishprinciple. Bahles have uniformed trained Eng-lish nurses and older children are in the handsof a "miss," as the nursery governess Is called.French mothers talk of their "nursery" as gliblyas if until now a room set apart for childrenwere not as unknown as any substitute for theword nursery in the French language. Eng-lish ideas of discipline for chldren are undoubt-edly sound, but one sometimes wonders whetherthe French tots are quite as happy with thi-English governess, with her to them strangeways and stranger tongue, ns with the old fash-ioned nounou. as ready to pet as to scold, andwith never a theory in h?r big. ignorant head.

With other English ideas has come a changeJn the dressing of children. Most small hoyswear the English sailor suit, with the proper

hat and reefer coat. Scotch suits are In greatfavor both for girls and boys, and even bestgoVns are treated to fewer frills and ribbonsthan of yore. The day may como when theschool child shall be exempt from the all-en-veloping black apron, but school mistresses area conservative lot, arid nothing else seems toconform to the scholastic atmosphere.

FROCK FOR GIRL OF TEN.The holiday seascn Is apt to moan new frocks,

and the private shops which cater to childrenhave an Interesting array of good models. Thenow idea in a straight frock for a piiiof eightto ten lies in the fact that it has no bell andcurves in slightly at the natural waistline. Ithangs in liox pleats partly Btitched to :i fittedlining,and over the shoulders are lace bn tellesframed in hands of velvet th»- same color ns thedress, the yoke consisting of lace points framedIn velvet. The full sleeves fall Into a lace andvelvet cuff put on a little below iho olliow.

The kilt skirt In the original Scotch plaid withreefer coat is worn aa a street suit by little girls.Tliis may be completed by a Jersey top. or theremay be a bodice to correspond to the pleatedskirt. A smart frock of red cashmere is madewith a pleated skin trimmed with three rowa ofPlaid braid. This Is attached to the lining,which is concealed by a dosed bolero trimmedgayly with braid and cut decollete to show ayoke of rod embroidered white guipure. TheJacket is trimmed with embroidered cashmerecovered hwt'ons and is short enough to show acash of red liberty silk. The yoke naturally is apart of the body of thp frock, and the boleromakes the second piece.

A party dress which conies from a smart placeIs so simple that it could be copied by a homedressmaker by using an embroidered flounce-cut in little teeth on tho edge. The one-piecegown Is made with a low belt, and the skirtpart is of the flounce, with a tiny ruffled £d«eof Valenciennes. The foundation gown is ofpink taffeta, with two lace ruffles at th>* edge tofill In the spaces left by the points of the 0111-broldery. The same deep flounce makes a bo-lero top, filled in to the belt line with nil overValenciennes, and the embroidery finishes withsmall points In a fifjuare d£colletage.

STUDYING MUSIC.(FIRST PBIZE.)

Dear Editor: My favorite work or occupa-tion is the study of music Ido not sing, buthave taken piano lessens since Iwas elevenyears old. Inever realized how much it meantto me or how much Iloved it until Ibecameill,Just a year ago, and underwent a dreadfuloperation in Brooklyn. Ilay In bed '.here for

five months, and tor the first month or so Imissed ir.y music v;;y much. Later my gen-

eral health became so much better (but my

•wound etlll kept me in bed) that it was de-elded that Ishould take mask: lessons in bed:

During tha last three months my musicteacher came regularly once a week and gaveme lessons In Snger exercises. At the majorityof the lessons Ilay on my back in bed (not

being able to sit up even for an hour), and weplaced a large, stiff piece of cardboard on thabed either at my right or left side, and Iprac-tised my finger exercises, one hand at a time,on that, with the metronome, every day. ThisIquite enjoyed, for it gave me something todo and kept my fingers In working order, sothat when Iwas well again they would bestrong and Inpractice.

Table exercises were by no means all that Idid. Istudied harmony and the lives of th.-composers. AfterIhad read the life of a great

composer Ihad to write a composition on it,andnow Ihave a blank book just for those compo-sitions.

-Ihad still another study, which was the

hardest of all. though for that reason Ienjoyedit most. This was the memorizing of a piecewhich Ihad never heard on the piano nor seenbefore. It was IfacDowell's "To a Waterlily."

It took quite some time to i^arn It, and, as itwas, Idid not know It all by the time IleftBrooklyn. Imemorized it in such a way that Icould see the music in my mind's eye and.recitethe notes Just they came, to my nurse, every day.Inot only learned the notes, but the time andfingering also. The fingering was the hardest.

\u25a0When Iwas able to sit at the piano 1played th<ifirst part of the piece without the- notes beforeme. Ail this took much time, and helped many

en hour to pass quickly and happily in the hotcity, when Iwas so longing to be home In thebeautiful country..1 think Ilike the study of music best, because

It not only affords me, but others also, muchpleasure. Iam not naturally musical. Icannotplay by ear. as others in our family can, but I

have always loved to hear music, and to read itIs one of mv chief pleasures. It is wonderfulto me to hear the fine organists play so mag-

nificently on the large organs in the great NewYork churches'.'Ihope many others derive as much pleasure

from the study of music as does your Interestedreader and friend, PAULINEIE. DAKIN.
