GNACE JAN PADEREW-
SKI and his wife sailed
from New York for Eu-
rope the other day. No;
he was not going huek In-
to politics. He was go-
ing to take a rest. May
he “loaf and enjoy his
soul" to his heart's con-
tent. He deserves it.
_ For Paderewski has
totaged during the past winter a most
remarkable “comeback". His Amer-
ican tour has been the most wonderful
triumph ever won by a musician. He
has surpassed even bis triumphs of
jthe Nineties.
And Paderewski Is strty-twol
1 When the tour was In preparation
Insurance was sought. Not an Insur-
ance company In all the world would
listen to him. liven Lloyd's, which will
take a chance on almost anything, re-
fused him.
It Is to laugh. Paderewski at slxty-
two gave 73 recitals. He traveled
18,000 miles in a private car. He dis-
likes to be “entertained,” but there
were social Invitations pressed upon
him which he could not Ignore. His
principal trouble was to find halls hlg
enough to hold his audiences. His big-
gest audience was one of 7,000 in Sun
Francisco—receipts, $24,000. In three
recitals In New York the receipts were
$47,000; for two In Chicago, $21,000;
for two In Los Angeles. $18,4b4; for
three In Boston, $24,500 and for one
In Cleveland, $15,341.
The gross receipts of the tour which
no compuny would Insure were
$500,000!
When Clemenceau was In New York
at the Gibson home, Paderewski ap
pea red and begged to see the great
Frenchman. It was late and the “Ti-
ger" was In bed.
Just the same, the Tiger was de^
lighted. "Of course. At once. Why,
1 would see this great man In bed.”
They met In the center of Clemen-
ceau’s chumber, embraced and put lip
to cheek, after the continental custom.
After their chut the Frenchman said :
“Before I go home I want to hear you
play. When shall I have that pleas-
ure?”
“Mnstet," said the pianist, “I will
play for you now."
Clemenceau was delighted. Leading
the Pole by the hand he almost danced
downstairs to the music room, shout-
ing like n hoy and summoning the
household to “come and hear; come
Amt r.”
Jerewskl seated himself, looked
Tiger n moment as If for In-
spiration, then loaned back, closed Ills
eyes and played—four times. And
through It nil CleinenceHU sat erect In
his chnlr. Ills features a kaleidoscope
of the piiNslon and pathos of the
music.
As Paderewski flntshed Clemenceau
caressed him again.
"Oh, my friend; my heart la full of
happiness. Wbut u man you are! You
a«/9^4
the
are more than a musician. You are a
poet uud there Is poetry in your fin-
gers."
Well, that Is the way—figuratively
speaking—that Paderewski and the
American public met.
Nevertheless, for a long time there
was every Indication that the Pollah
pianist was lost to the world of mu-
sic. He quit In 1915 to devote him-
self, body, soul and fortune, to his
native land. He came to America as
plenipotentiary from the National
Polish committee and labored like a
giant. He raised a large sum through
many benefit concerts. He delivered
many addresses to recruit Poles In the
United States. He spent his private
tortune in organizing the struggle for
Polish freedom.
In January of 1919, working with
General Pllsudskl, the military dicta-
tor of Polund. Paderewski became
prime minister of the reconstituted
Polish state. He was slightly wounded
at Warsaw by a would-be assassin. As
premier, Paderewski did as well as
anyone could In those distracted days,
lie kept tilings going. He represented
his country ably at the peace con-
ference.
Paderewski returned to this country,
war-worn and with his fortune gone.
And he said at that time;
"I shall never play In public again.
That Is a closed chapter. I shall com-
pose music from time to time, bit 1
shall never play again." And there-
upon he went into retirement In Cali-
fornia.
But Old Mother Nature Is a Jolly
good nurse—the very best there is. She
offers rest and quiet and peace to the
weary. She has cures of her own for
the sick at heart. And the Pole was a
patient worth her best efforts. He la a
big mail physically. Any man who can
play ut a public performance for three
hours, with only a brief Intermission,
Is a strong man. And he Is a strong
man mentally.
Anyway, Old Mother Nature had her
way with this strong man. Those who
know him well say that In the depths
of his own being he found strength and
philosophy to reguln his poise; that Ills
present physical ami artistic well-being
Is luff the refleetlonVf the man within ;
that Paderewski |s master of himself
as well as of his Instrument.
Yet Paderewski Is temperamental,
like moat artists. Hs Is a man of In-
tense emotions. At the time the late
president of Poland was assassinated
the news was kept from him until after
he hud finished his recital. When he
was told he collapsed In u chair—rage,
grief and anxiety overcoming him.
The thinking reader will not have
to he told that there are other features
In the altuatlon which make"the “come- ___
hack" of Paderewski remarkable. It their recognition of him us a man.
was more than a generation ago that
Paderewski made Ills first appearance
In New York. And times have changed
since then—In the musical world no
less tliun In the world of affairs.
Paderewski was born in Podolla,
Russian Poland, in 1860. He was a
youthful prodigy and played the piano
In public at twelve. In 1887 he ap-
peared with marked success la Vienna;
tours In Germany, France and Eng-
land followed. In 1891 he made the
first of several successful visits to the
United States.
The young Polish pianist created a
furore. Indeed. The sensation which
followed wus epochal in the annals
of music. He wus a fascinating figure,
Indeed—tall nnd slender, with Sir Gala-
had face nnd hair thut suggested to
the cartoonists a huge chrysanthemum
of gleumlng gold. It may have been his
personal magnetism, his poetic beauty,
graceful poses and extraordinary col-
oring ; anyway, his audiences were bis
before he struck a note.
And when his "fingers of steel with
tips of velvet” drew from the instru-
ment melody und poetry, harmony and
majesty, he threw his hearers out of
normul bulunce. His audiences rose
from their seats In wild disorder to
storm the platform. Something had
gone across the footlights that could
not be resisted. So It was all over the
country. Crowds gathered wherever
he appeared, eager to carry him In
triumph. In those days, though there
were muny pianists of note, there was
one Best Pianist and everyone knew
his name.
But now, how things are changed!
Now those who are best qualified to
Judge are reluctant to uttrlbute pri-
macy to any artist, however great.
They see In each great artist his
dividual excellencies that make him
great. They see no basis of comparison
between, for Instance, a Paderewski
and a Hofmann or between a Hofmann,
and a Gabrllowltch. All, they suy, uro
great, but none Is the greatest.
Moreover, Paderewski’s triumph was
a generation ago. The flapper who
now goes to recitals knows not the
handsome young Pole of the Nineties.
No doubt, her mother Is loyal to the
nftuuorles of those’ fasdnutlng days.
But the musical youth of today have
a score of superplanlsts to follow and
adore.
And yet, In spite of all this, Paderew-
ski came back—and In more ways than
one. His triumphant reception by his
friends on his first appearance was a
musical affair. Yet the musical In-
terest was of minor Importance. The
critics tried—and not very success-
fully—to say that Paderewski had not
entirely recovered his enrly form but
that he played better than ever. It
was evident that they appreciated the
presence of a force that lay beyond
and perhaps above art. It was there.
Paderewski Is beyond question one
of the foremost artists of the times.
He Is a patriot who spent his fortune
nnd abnndoned his Hrt In organizing
the struggle for Polish freedom. He Is
nn orator of distinction. He Is a
statesman who has been premier of a
big nation. And he lg a man strong
enough to come back at slxty-two.
The thousunds of Americans who
crowded* Puderewskl's recltnlg from
const to coast and gnve back to him
In a few short months the fortune
spent for his native land undoubtedly
saw In him more than the muslclun.
The new artistic laurels they thrust
upon the artist were in no small part
Bachelor or Cowherd
Our word bachelor Is n corruption
of an old medieval word for "cow-
herd." In those days almost the whole
population existed by agriculture, and
♦he "bachelor'* or "cowherd" was tbe
lowest office, held by the youngest and
poorest. Similarly In thoa# days a
“knight bachelor" was a knight of an
Inferior rank, at nowadays a bachelor
of arts la ome who haa not yet been
admitted to the degree of master of
arts. The word's present meaning of
an unmarried man Is more than 500
years old, and signifies a man who has
not yet entered upon the full duties
of manhood's estate. Our ancestors
did not dream that middle-aged and
well-to-do men should over remain
unwed!
"Better End" It Correct.
When one spenke of pureulng a
course of sctlon to the "bitter end" he
means that he will follow It to the last
and direst extremity—death Itself.
While the phrase In this sense has the
sanction of good usHge, It Is probable
that originally the expression was to
the “better end." This latter form Is
used properly to designate a crisis, or
the moment of an extremity. When,
for instance, a vessel has paid out all
her cable, It has run out to the "bet-
ter' end"—the end which Is secured
within the vessel and little used, Rob-
inson Crusoe, In describing h terrible
storm, says: "We rode with two an-
chors ahead and the cables veered out
to the better end."
Boudoir Caps Are
of Dainty Design

Tbe little boudoir caps grow more
Jovely with each passing dny. Now
(they ure made largely of lace, and the
Thinnest, daintiest sort of lace at that,
Supplemented with ribbons und quaint
little flowers and bobbing tassels. One
Isort Is made In a plain strip that ties
,about the head, flatly arranged over
»the forehead. Narrow ribbons are at-
tached to It In the back to Insure Its
being tied In place with all efficiency.
A little cap of most excellent design
Is made of strands of gold soulache
braid that are knotted together at In-
tervals to form squares nnd, on the
whole, to form a round little cap-
shaped thing which, along Its edges. Is
'crocheted onto a thin rubber bund that
snaps closely over the hulr uud the
forehead. If your desire Is to keep
^your freshly done wave In place noth- ,
[Ing can be simpler than this little, !
tightly-fitting cap, which, besides per-
forming its duty to the lust degree, |
adds a most Interesting appearance to
the general effect of any boudoir or
house gown.

very smart when draped around the

Fern Basket Adds to
Your Home Decoration
One of the most attractive fern bas-
kets may be made as follows: Buy or
(m“ke a wire basket of the size you
wish. Also buy a coarse earthenware
Jar that In diameter Is shout one-third
that of the busket, and that is not
quite of the sums height. Get a quan-
tity of the kind of moss that Is used
by nurserymen. Also obtain a quan-
tity of malden-hnlr fern ropts. Hack
the bottom of the basket with a layer
of wet moss to a depth of about two
Inches. As the moss Is put In, pack
the fern roots In with It. Place the
earthenware Jar In the center and
pack around It. When the packing Is
completed All the Jar with water and
linng in a cool and shady place. If
you have packed the roota properly
they will soon begin to grow and will
convert the basket Into a mass of gre.en
nnd feathery fern that will always re-
pay you for your trouble. Occasionally
the basket muy be taken down and
sprayed, especially If the weather Is
very dry. In general, enough water
will fee.j through the Jar to keep the
inoss wet. Such a fern basket will
last for years without renewing.
Use Ribbon Embroidery
on Smartest Costumes
The richest embroidery which Is
finding Its way on the smartest cos-
tumes Is made of ribbon. Either self-
color or contrasting grosgraln ribbon
In the one-inch width la being caught
on one selvedge In nn overcasting
stitch, so that the entire width of the
ribbon standa out from the costume.
The regulation stamped patterns In
floral and conventional designs are
particularly adaptable. One of the
smartest costumes was of dark blue
silk crepe with dark blue grosgraln
ribbon stitched In a rose design about
four Inches deep on the sleeves and
bodice, with an eight-inch border In
panels on the skirt.
Crepa a Favorite Skirt Fabrle.
Separate aklrts promise to be much
In vogue this summer, and crepes of
various makes will be a popular mate-
rial. The crepes are all wool, all silk,
or a mixture. There are paisley silks,
and silks with other printed designs,
and there are plain silks for which It
Is expected there will be demand. Cot-
ton ratine takes a favored place among
skirt materials, too.
Cleaning Rugw
Small rugs may be easily cleaned
with nn electric vacuum cleaner If
laid on top of larger ones. This pre-
vents them from being drawn by the
suction over the nozzle of the elorner.
Pretty Summer Hats for Kiddies to W?ai
Kiddles’ hats In the Inexpensive
types, made up In quaint little effects
for the summer time, are being shown,
notes a fashion writer In the Boston
Herald. There are many little gar-
den types of Imported cretonnes and
Swiss organdies, the cretonnes. In
many eases, lint Ing black grounds
with patterns of color In flower has-
kets. birds Hnd other nnlnmls, all sorts
of designs that would Interest chil-
dren.
Cotton erppe Is used to face these
little sliupes, which are usually of the
softest type, without frame, and made
In the form of sunbonnets—roll brims
thnt turn bnek from the face, nnd
have little streamers under the chin,
and pokes that are very deep In the
brim and have crowns that are square
across tbe top, with four section sides.
This Is very novel nnd one which Is
especially good for the kiddle hut.
Btplngs of nurrow grosgraln ribbon
and box-plaltcJ effects arc all used to
outline these little organdie nnd cre-
tonne crowns and brims, and a great
deal of the old blue ribbon Is em-
ployed In t^ls way. A new ribbon
about an l-.ch nnd a half wide Is be-
ing used for entire hats; this Is nn
imported white grosgraln, with a pat-
tern of Egyptian lotus nnd chariots
through It In color—Just such a de-
sign ns n child would like. The rib-
bon la made up Into large cloche
shapps and faced In white hemp.
Ribbon Is the favored trimming for
mourning lints this season. The shapes
of the lints very from the rolled brim
to the droop poke. In some cases
whole brims are made of ribbon pet-
als. Ribbon cockades are popular. In
u dispatch from Paris It la reported
that "ribbons are particularly men-
tioned as mourning trimmings and
whole brims ere made of ribbon petals,
while all types of ribbon cockades are
well liked.’*
Silverware Popular;
Adds a Cheery Note
Silverware has coine to play a more
Important port today than ever before
In the furnishing and decoration of
the home, says the Milwaukee Senti-
nel.
Modern progress, style and customs
bring many changes, so silverware Is
regnrded In a very different way than
It was not so many years ago. Today
the “family plate" Is no longer merely
a treasure—although It may continue
to he that—but has become an every-
day companion, serviceable, decora-
tive and an Intimate.
Another noticeable change In favor
of silverware Is that Its place Is no
longer in the strong box or other well-
guarded repository, while the home Is
being occupied, hut It appears constant-
ly upon the table, sideboard or the
serving table to add Its cheery note to
the family meals.
A touch of silver here and there, so
to speak, such as dainty vases nnd
graceful candlesticks, helps to make
the house a home.
“I was distracted with fear when
my llttio IMnonth-old baby had dys-
entery, but an old colored mammy
told me to give her Teethina and she
has given me no more trouble since,"
said Mrs. Nettle Barnes, South Bav.
Palm Beach Co., Fla. "With my last
baby l got Teethina before he begun
teething and he wao never alck a
day."
It la not always safe to follow the
advice of old colored mammies, but
when they are as well Informed as
this one r;'uu recommended Teethina
no advice could be better. All moth-
