CONVENIENT MONEY CARRIER

HERE is something: new and at
tractive in leather belongings
a coin purse and bill fold which
may be carried compactly in a small
envelope case and the whole outfit
tucked in the breast pocket of your
coat, or even in your stocking: if you
prefer to carry your money that way.
The bill fold is a new shape and
holds bank notes folded three times
lengthwise, the bill fold doubling up
when the long bank notes are in place
and fitting into the envelope case,
which closes securely with two snaps.
The smaller case with one snap js for
coins and you can get at it easily or
carry it separately without disturbing
the bills. The bill fold, coin purse
and outer case are made of gold-col
ored, seal-grain leather and make an
attractive gift for the friend who is
planning a summer trip.
For the small dinner table here is a.
clever contrivance which combines
candles and centerpiece all in one.
The candle is really an electric light
as so many modern "candles" are
and the bulb, shaped like a candle.,
flame and tinted yellowish orange,
springs from a tall, slender socket-and-stick.
This is set in the center of
a graceful bowl and the stems of real
or artificial flowers may be thrust in
a perforated holder at the base of
the candlestick. The dainty affair
will make a charming porch light
also, or will light up the corner of
the living room by day with its
bright-hued flowers, and by night
with its rosy "candle" flame.
FUTURE OF MUSIC AND ART
LIES LARGELY IN AMERICA
More Achieved During War Than People Realized American Opera
. Singers Must Come Into Their Own Need Is There; Future Bright.
BY EMILJE FRANCES BAUER.
NEW YORK, Sept. 11. (Special.) ,
From the tales of all the
home-comers there seems to be
one feature that stands forth in
disputably and irrevocably that the
future of music and art for a great
many years to come lies within the
gates of America. Whether this
country will develop its own re
sources, give its own people the op
portunities so long denied them, or
whether it will still cling to for
eign fetiches, is the great question.
Progress in this country made
marked strides during the war. Now
that we look back upon the situation
we may say that there was more ad
vance than we realized. The Amer
ican opera singer must come into her
or his own, because the need is there
and the future is bright. Then, too,
the American has learned the most
important art of all how to study,
which but a few years ago was the
greatest shortcoming. One can but
glance at the roster of young Amer
icans and their achievements to
realize what ground they have cov
ered in the mastery of roles in the
different languages in opera, to-
gether with the smallest details that
make for the greatest art on tne
recital stage. Language, diction.
style, musicianship, an understanding
of the many schools of all countries.
quoting, for instance, the equipment
of Werrenrath. "nave become the or
der of all who aspire to more than
mediocrity.
Composers Have Chance.
. Facing a season of approximately
250 orchestral concerts It would seem
as though there would be room for
American composers, not because of
any wish to f latter . a people, but
because there are works a-plenty
which deserve the hearing, and there
should be a few conductors in the
field to recognize this fact. Josef
Stransky, with the Philharmonic or
chestra, is not likely to drop away
from the interest he seemed to mani
fest during the last five or six yeare.
Walter Damrosch, after being recog
nized as the American aptstle abroad,
may find his pleasure in becoming
more strongly than ever, identified
! with, the musical -development of UiU
country. Arthur Bodanzky, with the
National Symphony orchestra, will
hardly be in position to neglect what
America has to offer, while among
the far-away orchestras it is a recog
nized fact that both Alfred Hertz
and Walter Rothwell are eager and
happy to make the American com
poser a feature, because they believe
in him.
As Hertz has given splendid recog
nition to Frederick Jacobi. so Leopold
Stokovski has ehown a true under
standing and courteous recognition
of Samuel Gardner. The late Charles
T. Grlffes won instantaneous and
complete recognition in every city
.where his works were heard, and .
there is no dbubt that every audience
would welcome his works, not only
once but many times.
Nen Conditions Develop.
New economic, conditions have
arisen to make things still harder
for the American composer, and one
of two things must happen. Either
he must disappear from the pro
grammes altogether or he must be
accorded the sort of treatment that
other composers receive. New rul
ings by the musicians' union compel
a minimum of time for rehearsals and
every rehearsal must be paid for,
all of which will make it dangerously
easy for the conductor to eay there
is no time for proper rehearsals or
to add to the offensive attitude which
already exists in many cases by say
ing that if Americans' want their
works performed they will be com-'
pelled to pay for the extra reheare
ings. That there could be a public
actually interested in the musical
welfare of this country seems to be
the one thing entirely overlooked by
the powers that be, save, of course,
the exceptions which invariably go
to prove the rule.
However, returning to the case in
point, it should be indicated that
under existing conditions those who
make programmes and who do see
fit to include here and there the
works of important American com
posers, or tne important composi
tions of American composers, should
realize that even for purely economic
reasons they deserve more than the
one and only performance Usually
accorded them. For instance, if a
Thursday-night programme of the
