ltl rhythmic Intensity and artistic

Tlie rendition of the Mozart sonata
was conspicuous for Its clarity of run-
ning passages and an elegance of In-
terpretation.
The romanticism of Schumann in
tlie Andante and Variations was
brought. Out with wonderful depth of
tone, yet with a fund of paretic feel-
ing.
The much discussed but immortal
Debuasy was in evidence and was play-
ed with all the warmth of tone color
aud cohwclt-like delicacy of technique
necessary to reveal the beauties of
this style of subjective tone painting.
I«ast came tlie Arensky group the
The Romanic. With its direct a|>i>eal
to tlie emotions, tlie Valse with its
Irresistible rhythm and tlie Polonaise
witli its dramatic climax, were all
rendered with tlie most perfect
nuances and great virility of inter-
p relation.

Littls Chsnc* For Dodging Modern
High Velocity Bullets.
Although under the altered condi-
tions of modern warfare both officers
anil men take all I lie cover they can
get, It is still considered “bad form” to
duck when bullets are whistling or
shells screaming overhead.
This is a survival of the old Crimean
days, when men were actually punished
for ducking hullets In battle. That the
service tradition was not always strict-
ly observed even then, however, is ap-
parent from a story told of a grizzled
old veteran' who, on being remonstrat-
ed with by a young corporal for lndtil
gence in this very practice, replied, “It’s
all very well for you. m'lad, but I'm a
family mail," and continued to duck at
each report.
It is on record, too, that Napoleon
strongly objected to it, and on one occa-
sion be even went to the .length of
publicly reprimanding oue of his staff
officers for stooping over his horse'*
neck in order to avoid the balls lie
heard whistling over Ills head.
Geueral Gordon, no mean authority,
was of a different opiniou, though.
Writing in Ills journal, he says, “For
my .part, I do not consider Judicious
ducking to lie a fault, for I remember
on two occasions seeing shell* before
my eves which certainly, had I not
bobbed, would have taken off my head."
Needles* to say, however, It would
be Impossible to dodge a modern high
velocity projectile in this free and easy
fashion. It cannot be seen, and by the
time It Is heard the danger Is past.—

Unrelated Potatoes.-
8wcet potatoes have not much in
common botanlcally with their more
familiar namesakes. They have lqng
been cultivated as food In tropical and
subtropical countries and were actually
introduced into England at an earlier
date than the common potato. The
two tubers were often confounded by
writers of the sixteenth and seven-
teenth centuries, but the sweet potato
won more popularity than its rival.
Made Into a sweetmeat tt was regard-
ed as an excellent invigorator. Sweet-
ish and agreeable lo the taste, its flesh
forming qualities are considered equal
at least to those of the common potato.

ABOUT NERVES.
No Woman In This D*> Can Afford to
Have 'Em.
The nervous woman is rarely pretty.
She may be extremely beautiful when
young, but Hie nervous tension under
which she lives Inevitably wears out
her body. At twenty-five she looks near
thirty; at thirty slit* seems forty; at for-
ty she's thin, haggard, wrinkled, old.
So if you are the least bit neurotic
take extra good care of yourself. Rest
more Ilian the ordinary woman does to
overcome ihe nervous strain; eat plen-
ty, for food soothes the nerves; eat of-
ten to keep the blood in the stomach.
Tills docs not moan that occasional
nibbles of candy are to be taken or
that meals may be eaten any time of
the day or night. It means frequent
nourishment at regular periods. A good
plan is an egg and milk between break-
fast and luncheon and between lunch-
eon and.dinner and a cup of hot choco-
late and a cracker Just before going to
bed.
The nervous woman should rest a lot
to conserve her energies. When possi-
ble she should lie down in preference,
to sitting down, as the relaxation is
more complete It U surprising the
'nunilier of minutes of rest tbat*cau l>e,
snatched between the duties of the
day. If the rest, follows immediately
after a meal It will do double good, for
it will allow all the energy to go to-
ward digestion.
Unfortunately it is hard to convince
the nervous 'woman that she .must rest.
She always means to, but she never
will take the time, for her type cau
find more things to do than any other
sort of woman.
