IN the modern turning of musicians to the simple ballads and folic songs no one has played a more important part or contributed more valuably than has Mrs. Marjory Kennedy-Fraser, who found the music of the Hebrides. The folk music of this strange little group of islands off the coast of Scot land is perhaps the most difficult to collect and the most worth collecting. The people of the islands have been left alone for so long that their native music is untouched. It has been fil lowed to develop its richness and beauty, unspoiled by contact with that of any other country, ancient or mod ern. The rocky, uninspiring, uninvit ing little islands do not encourage in vestigation for art's sake, but Mrs Kennedy-Fraser recognized their pos sibilities and from her exploration there she has contributed music of In estimable value to the world of folk song. On her journeys for song. Mrs. ken- nedy-Fraser was obliged to cross the little frequented boiling waters of the Atlantic that whirl in the inlets and caverns on the islands' coasts. She found a people almost unknown to the world, and who knew little of Scotland, of which they are a part. She found that the people did not sing Scottish songs, but still adhered to the ancient songs of their islands. Mrs. Kennedy-Fraser made her rirst trip in 1905. She found that the peo ple spoke Gaelic and no other tongue. Knowing nothing of the trend of art outside of their immediate scope, they were inclined to look upon her in quiries and observations in the light of curiosity and criticism. It was with difficulty that she ' convinced them otherwise and left the islands for The first time with a collection of 30 songs which had never been given to the world. Every Summer for eight years she made the trip, and each year re turned with a rich harvest of folk song. ' Although it is reasonably certain that Wagner never approached the Hebrides and that no one on the islands ever heard of him, the myths that he has used and the music that be has composed is to be heard in the folk songs of the people. Mrs. Kennedy Fraser accounts for th fact in that it is the universal and untouched music of the seas which Wagner heard and which the . natives of the islands have always known. Wagner collected much. of his music from the sailors and the sailors heard the same music that the people of Hebrides hear. The folk music of the Hebrides as discovered by Mrs. Kennedy-Fraser bears a closer relationship to tho Greek and Arabic than it does to the Scotch mainland. Since making her expeditions into the lands of unknown music, Mrs. Ken nedy-Fraser has spent some time lec turing on the subject In America, and she has compiled a number of books of ballads. Some of the folk songs have been arranged with orchestral settings by Bantock. himself a High lander who became fascinated by the unusual melodies. Mrs. Kennedy-Fraser is a musician by training and instinct. She waa the Truthful Tommy and the Prince. pon a time there was a Princess born in the palace of the King and Queen of Gu land. So beautiful was she that every one called her Pearl, and every one in tile kingdom was invited to a big christening at least nearly every one. Now, the person who did not get bidden to this feast was the Weird Wizard. Now. the Wizard, just to show that he was not mad a bit. came in when the feast was at its height and the table full of guests in silks and velvets. He took a small, withered pumpkin otu of his pocket, filled it with wine, then drank it off, saying: "You scorned the old man, but I will repay. Many have brought gifts and wishes, but I will outdo them all. The Princess will grow up beautiful, but she must never live in the air; if a ray of sunlight should touch her she will die. And naught you will know can break the spell. There is one way, and one way alone, to do that, but it you will never know till some lucky one happens upon the magic." And the wicked old fellow walked away to his hut. From that day on the King and Queen never let the sun's rays touch the child. She was obliged to live in a great glass palace which was heated and lighted by artificial means. Every thing in it was the same. The flowers were of wax and paper, the fountains of perfume and even the people who attended her got so at last that they liked nothing natural. They painted and powdered so and wore high-heeled shoes and adopted such outrageous fashions that there was nothing nat ural about them. And though the Princess was really beautiful, she hid it in colored grease that daubed her pretty face. Pearl the most beautiful woman on earth, and all came out without break ing the spell. Now, there happened to live a lad named Tommy, the son of a wood chopper, who declared that he would try his luck. Tommy was poor, ragged. with red. hair and freckled face, but he was honest and truthful. He was sorry tor the beautiful Princess and thought perhaps he could be of some assistance. So he Jumped on old Pete, the blind donkey, -and rode to the palace. "I have come to see the Princess," he said. "I would like to try my luck." So Tommy was led out Into the great glass palace lighted by lamps and bril liant with artificial light. He waa as tonished and disgusted at the sight. The dress of the courtiers made him laugh. The Princess did not like that, for she was accustomed to having lords bow and compliment, so she peevishly asked Tommy what he was laugh ing at. "Why. madam," he replied, "it is so funny in here. The roses and violets are of cloth, not like the ones In my garden; then, your face is all ugly with paints and your body looks so odd fixed up in that sytyle." Then a wonderful thing happened: the wind rose and blew the glass palace away. The artificial flowers went with It, and there they all stood In the real garden with the sunlight Playing about their heads, and Just in front of them was the old Weird Wizard. He shook the Princess by the nana and patted Tommy on his red head. "The lad has broken the spell by telling tne truth, laughed the Wizard "It is hard for princesses to hear that for every one will flatter them. That is the reason the lords and dukes did not succeed. But this honest boy saw through the shams and spoke the facts. mat DroKe tne spell i put on you. And now your father must keep his word." Somehow the Princess made no ob jection at all she was tired of the silly, simpering nobles, and thought Tommy a much better husband than they would make. So the wedding took place and lasted for three whole weeks. tC'opyriBht. mill, by the Mcrture Newspaper Synrilcm. N.w York fity. YOUTH LEAVES HOME OLIVER JOHNSTON, 15.
