EW YORK in midsummer seems to revel in discord and dis- traction, The slamming of tango orchestras, the shouting of topical songs, the grinding of music machines pleases the ear better than harmonics of best composers, - In winter New York is a music centre that compels international Syecognition. Its manifold activities, its broad cosmopolitanism, its ~wdree-for-all eclecticism are the envy of European cities despite their tual sneer at America’s musical ignorance and provincialism, The world’s greatest artists, as Europe sees them, sometimes with x ill-disguised contempt for us, cannot resist the lure of the American (edollar that compels them to sing and play for us at the risk of having “their soaring wings clipped and their shining halos tarnished, as use Many-of them find out to their sorrow and indignation, mostly the * eo Frankly, I didn’t intend to do #0.

Copyright, 1916, by The Vress Publishing Co, (Phe New York Evening World.) HERE are very few all-silk marriage ties, warranted not to shrink, stretch, run or fade, nowada, and romantic and easy to manipula until you try it. The woman who marrics a fool spends her life in trying to make a man of him; while the woman who marries a real man seems to spend her life in trying to make a fool of him. In these days of hole-proof socks, bachelor's buttons and near-love, no man appears to see any reason for exchanging the delightful variety of freedom for the doubtful joy of spending all his evenings and all his money on one girl. When prudence comes in at the door love has long since flown out at the window; no man’s “common sense” ever comes into action until his heart 1s having a reaction, There are lots of ways of making a man happy, but marrying him isn't one of them, When a xirl starts out in life with a lot of ideals in one hand and a could only arrange in some way to| pedestal in the other she 18 doomed to clothe the first man who makes love to her with all the glory of a movie hero and all the virtues of a ed forward, fixing | stained-glass saint, The better a man understands a woman the better he loves—some other woman; the more he knows of one kind of girl the more he admires —"the other kind.” mj Fs Tent Frame and Suspended Cots Combined.
