A woman wno has always been able to have the services of a mald has lately | invented a most useful article for the help of women who are thelr own malds. This is a dress ..anger, a most simple appliance, which fits against the wall of any room, takes absolutely no space and is of inestimcble service. Like all clever | inventions, it is extremely simple, and consists of a brass rod fitted Into a half | phere, also of brass, with a catch which | enables it either to hang down straight | against the wall when not In use or to | stand out straight from ihe wall when | needed. On this is hung the skirt, cloak, | wrap or walst, as the case may be, as| soon as it is removed, «ie rod being | | strong enough to sustain the weight of | by looking. et there | the garment while it is uelng brushed. | When the skirt is brushed and ready to be hung in the closet all that is needed is to turn the rod and it falls straight | agalnst the wall. In some houses there | are two or uree of these rods in every room. In the tight-fitting skirts that are now so much the style such appllances as these are of the greatest value. The skirt can be hung up at once after it is worn, and there i no danger of its getting | out of shape; after being brushed it can | be put back into the closet on one of the hangers on which all skirts must now needs hang. Such little inventions as these have far more to do with keeping clothes in order than could well be lieved by any one who has not given at- tention to the subject. To put a skirt away unbrushed means not (»nl{ that it is likely to be worn again without the | dust being removed, but also that the dust will get into the fabric. The silk linings Yemaln intact much longer If the street dust is removed as soon as possible. Hats and cloaks, too, that so soon show the signs of wrinkles and wear, can be kept | for a vastly longer time if hung up, brushed and the ribbons or laces cure(ulf’y looked after. It is sald that these hangers are par- ticularly good for women who go out @ great deal and who are kind-hearted enough not to want their maids to sit u for them, and who, when they take off their ball gowns and opera cloaks, hang | them at once on these rods. The mal can then attend to them the next morning and they will not have a trace of being whereas if left on sofa or chair, as | ase may be, they are bound to show glgns of wear.—Harper's Bazar. —————— The Champion Tattoed Man.

The critic may attack the law and the natural sclence of Shakespeare with some reason, perhaps, but nobody with any feeling for the beauty of sweet sounds can fail to admit that he had a fine ear for music. It must have been a great pleasure to hear him sing, if he had a | voice. And, as a boy, his whistling must | have pleased all the creatures of fur and | feather that he met in his long strolls | through the Warwickshire woods. All his verse is musical, but “As You Like It" is the most lyrical of all his dramas. And an examination of this most delicious of | all poetical dramas will show that it is | not only a fantasia the scene of which is | lald in No Man's Land, but that it has | what for want of a better name we must | call an “operatic” form.

Elizabethan time was not a mods of ex- | pression befitting high thought or dig- nity. There were many who, like Lord Bacon, regarded the English common speech as a packhorse never to be immor- tal as the Latin Pegasus would be im- | And so prose-writing, not then the art it is now, was not fit for the expression of exalted senti- ment. When Shakespeare has anything not worthy of poetic expression he puts e, following the opinion of his it into pros time. There i{s another reason for his doing this. Prose—even rhythmical prose such akespeare writes—gave the effect of contrast, of shade after light. It played the part of the recitative in the opera. In the first act of "*As You Like It,” for instance, the scene of the orchard, in Oli- ver's house, Orlando begins his exposition in a low key: As I remember, Adam, it was upon this fash- fon bequeathed me by will but poor a thousand and, as thou sayest, charked my Nis blessing, to breed me well; and e begihs my sadness. ne flows on, exposing the motive play until it closes with the bar- tween Oliver and the wrestler. The come cond’ scene is in is more musical cene. Cadences nd interlink: be thy speed, light prose, t0o; but the pros that of the first one another, link Rosalind. _“Now, Hercules, young man!" Cella. *1 would I were invisible, to catch the strong fellow by the leg!” (They wrestle.) an Rosalind. 'O, excellent young man!"* C f a thunderbolt in mine eye, 1 could tell who should down.” “harles the Westler is borne away | Frederick opens, In verse, the serfous busine — thou art a gallant youth; a Iw 1 hadst told me of another father.” And love—a singing Cupid wreathed with ferns and forest flowers—begins to play the lyrical accompaniment. Rosalind well and overthrown rou than your enemies.” And Orlando cries, or Yather sings in the sweetest tenor, at the end of the scene: m the smoke into the smother; unto & tyrant brother; nd!"" Unseen reed instruments seem to fill out the line with fugue on fugue. Scene 3 opens with light dialogue in pro From tyrant Celia. *“Why, cousin! why, Rosalind! Cupld | have mercy! not a word | Rosalind. *Not one to throw at a dog. | The measured music begins with the en- trance of the duke, “with his eyes full of anger.” The maldens are exiled; but be- fore they are driven from the court comes the exquisite and pathetic duo: “For, by this heaven, now at our sorrows pale, Say t thou canst, I'll go along with thee, The “leit-motif” of act 2 ought to be given by the reeds and strings and be as simple and sylvan as the “Amaryllis" - that old French air which Theodore Thomas' orchestra used to give so ef-| fectively: | “‘Here feel we but the penalty of Adam, | The seasons’ difference; as the fcy fang \ And churlish chiding of the winter's wind—" It is a quartet, and the strands of | twined harmony sound is in every phrase of this verse music: “And this, our life, exempt from publie haunt, | Finds tongues in trees, books in the running | | brooks, Sermons in stones and good in everything.' Amiens strikes in with: “Happy 1s your grace And after the invitation of the Duke | Senior to the hunt, the music sinks into the exquisite phrases of the First Lord: ““The melancholy Jacques { e g To-day my lord of Amiens Did steal behind him as he along Under an oak, whose antique root peeps out Upon the brook that brawis along this wood. We all know the rest, or ought t, it, by heart. The duo natwsrn (?rlk-':sl'; and Adam is so pathetic and noble that | it must have a solemn musical cadence— “And He that doth the ravens feed, Yea, providentially caters for the sparrow, Be comfort to my age!" ' Scene 4 is made up Of recitative, light comedy prose and the lyrical movement of the duo between Corin and Silvius: **O! thou didst then ne'er love so he y! If thou remember'st not the -ughun"rglll’y' That ever love did make thee run into, Thou kast not loved: Sy Or i thou hat ot &at as 1 do now, Vearing thy hearer in thy mistress” Thou hast not loved: : ey Or 1f thou hast not broke from company Abruptly, as my passion now makes me, Thuu hast rot loved 5 Compare the repeated cadence— *“Thou bast not loved.” with the repeated caden e e ces in the fifth (Enter Sflvius and Phebe.)

And the chorus, led by Amiens, responds: “Who doth ambition shun, And loves to liv n Seeking the f 1 pleased with what he gets, yme hither, come hither, come hither; iere shall he see No enemy But winter and rough weather," It will be observed that all the delicate effects In Shakespeare’'s word-music do- end upon rhythm and sot upon rhyme. he reader who tries to find the cadence in Shakespeare's verses must not he content only with the usual scansion. Pentam T, fambic or trochaic rules do not give the clew to the musical structure of “As You Like It.” One ought to go to musical composition itself, remembering that to the cultivated ear word-music has a sim- ple melody which, though can nev reach the complex harmony of the musi cian, sings in the poet's mind and deter. mines the cadence of his verse. And, nav- ing taken the form of the more simple of the modern operas into consideration, the reader will, with slight pains, find its rudi- ments in “As You Like It.” S\A@.;.“&A“h$~ g Catholic University of America.
