in earliest demand chiefly for sending abroad and dainty Doxes containing some fine handkerchiefs half-dozens of goves a charming sah or a lace scarf have been i cunmngly ranged to compel attention and remind the passers by of their duty towards kindred or friends far overseas And never ha there been a greater variety of pretty adjuncts to the drawing-room the dinner table or the toilet service in cut glass mounted in silver and vates decaliters liquem sets and fanciful receptacles for trinkets perfume and the like are fascinating as well as relatively very inexpensive There is far more thought and consideration paid nowadays within the show to the windows tuan the average person who carelessly glances at two or three rice-cards is wont to grasp It is no small recommendation to the shop assistant man or woman when applying for a situation to be able to state that he or she is at while managers adertising for such helpers almost invariably include it among the necessary qualifications that applicants must possess The artist in this direction will avoid massing too many items and thus getting a crowded and jumbled general effect and equally will be careful that there are not too few suggesting a narrow field of choice within If the colour of the moment is blue or green there must be due attention to the fact and the best positions must not then be allotted to materials or Cowers in scarlet or pink The underskirts must be deftly hung or lightly thrown across a stand that gives the utmost prominence to the fuss and fulness of their frills and the embroidery of smart hosiery is much more important to exhibit than all its recommendations of MADAME MELBA says of the above Records To the Manager The Gramophone and Typewriter Ltd SI City Road Dear I have

her playing of a couple of studies major and sharp minori nd the same 44 Andante Spianato and Scherzo (op 54) Rhe has made an excellent beginning The first-named study wa particularly creditable and it fellow hardly less so Save for a very slight and occasional blur there was little fault to find though plenty of room is left for development The Andante wa correct but just a little dull and colourless and the Scherzo though most carefully played lacked it full measure of vivacity But the framework of a good style is undoubtedly present in Mis playing Her runs are particularly good her phrasing generally clear and her chords decisive All these qualities are indispensable bit not lets so i the life nd warmth vhich will with increase of year and study surely come to who ha begun so well In a certain degree these latter characteristics are already the young possession and she may b' said to ha re kina Jed her torch at the sacred lamp Its flame will doubtless grow Miss Carpenter

boots aberrations in green or blue patent leather some with ten-inch golden heels others in stripes and checks of most startling hues and the explanation given was that such are in constant demand by

of the importance of good ard striking window displays were needed it is furnished by the trade itself iu its keen competitions in this direction Last month the Ashford Chamber ot Commerce offered

vhen the management introduced a number of new features into an already excellent programme Chief among the novelties was the dramatic sketch Todd of produced for the first time the metropolis by Mr John Lawson and his well-known company Accurately described as an episode of fiction the sketch was really founded up-on the legendary tale ot Vanderdecken the Flying and n-geniousiy interwoven ith the old story of 44 Sweeney BECHSTEIN HALL Thr principal feature cf Mr Supnund violin recital at Bechstein Hall last evening was decidedly Dr Walfon-d Sonata in minor The work written so long ago as 1895 consists of four move-1 rornts placid all of them rather than passionate and pervaded generally by a feeling that is thoroughly English There is little to excite but much to soothe and this surely a welcome characteristic in days when music is often depressing when it is not as-tually tragic The author of Evo-yman has in this Sonata wiae'y checked a'l temptations in the direction of prolixity None of his four movements is unduly spun out and we have in consequence a work without a dull page Much of it i- deed is eminently beautiful as for instance the brief and graceful second section The third movement tlxuch structurally of greater interest is in no rente le-- fascinating The Sonata was heard last night under singularly advantageous conditions The composer himself played the piano part and Mr Sig mund Beel interpreted the chare allotted to the violin with perfect self-effaoement The result wa-s more than satisfactory mi each mov ment was heartily applauded Mr Beel played many sola of which it is only neoessary to mention in which the character of each variation was b-ought out with unfailing lucidity Mr Reel is plainly a violinist who prefers mu-ie to
