The I difficulty was to hear it. An orchestra played instead of | 8 brass band. A crowd of eight thousand people found it| hard to catch the notes. The Park Commissioner, standing one hun- Gred feet away, said he couldn’t hear even a Wagner selection. A | violin solo was wholly lost. The Park Commissioner assured the crowd that the big new band stand will solve the difficulty. Happen it will. But it won’t be done/ before the end of the season. And meanwhile? It is @ question whether for large crowds in the open air a string orchestra can ever give such good results as a brava band. The Germans, who revel in out-of-door music, partly solve the prob- lem by having huge orchestras each with a strong brass “core.” Btill their military band concerts are always the most popular. Also ‘Year... the Germans put their orchestra into a huge clam shell structure which riees high above the heads of the musicians and radiates the sound to the audience spread fan shaped before it. After all most of the secret of successful out-of-door concert planning lies in the programme. Dream music, pastoral tone poems and solo string effects do not lend themrelves to surroundings from which tooting automobile horns, braying donkeys and shouting chil- Gren cannot be entirely eliminated. Strong rhythmic music, such as| Strauss waltzes, Wagner marches and Spanish dances, makes by far the most solid and popular foundation for a park programm ceenienmeeresaetlptioainimtianesitesnie THE LUCKY SERVANT GIRL. VERYBODY needs to be shown the bright side of the job now E and then. ‘Too many people are going around pointing out whet a bard, unjust, undignified thing work is. Just now the domestic servant is marked out for pity and commiseration. Let Mary Ann listen to what a Boston woman has to eay about the servant girl’s luck as it looks to an observer in thnt claasic town. According to this woman’s experience, the domestic servant in the average Back Bay family is better off than she would be if she were employed in any other occupation. Bhe te at least the one person who does not have to worry about the high cost of Nving. When a servant enters the em- ploy of the average family her aprons and caps are supplied, rubber heels are put on her shoes, she has a room to herself which, though perhaps on the top floor, ts bright and clean, Nearly every house hae a sitting room for the servants. There the girl can receive her friends. Books, magagines and news- papers are carried to this room just ae soon as and sometimes before members of the famtly have read them. When the day's work ts done the girl has the evening to herself provided the family te not to entertain and some one is left to anewer the door. Servants cam take turns in tending the door. Every week the girl has one afternoon off. Many are permitted to choose their afternoon. Beory girl gets 8&8 a week at least in moet families. This money te the same as $15 would be were she living out, She has her home and doard. Her working clothes do not cost her more than @ emall portion of a month's wages in the course of a year. A very‘ bright and attractive picture—rather too rosy, no doubt. Not all girle have anything like these “average Back Bay family” lux- aries of servants’ sitting rooms, bright bedrooms, time off, etc.— nor the wages. Still, some girls have all these advantuges. Almost all girls have some of them. Relief from that grim cost-of-living problem, for instance, is worth s good deal these days. {When the average servant girl balances the pros and cons, isn’t the better off than she would be in the grind of a factory with her Wodging and food to find? It’e « good thing to have eomebody point to the pretty parts ‘ef the outlook from time to time.
