"Jan is Found
After Long Search
"The Piper" had to- have a
small boy of slight, slender build
and with dark eyes and hair.
"Word was sent out to that effect
and none were found to answer
the description. Thursday morn
ing a group led by Mrs. Otto Paul
as, who will direct the play "The
Piper", the next play to be pro
duced by the Salem Drama
League, went forth to search the
school in search of such a child.
Each school of Salem private and
public was visited and out of the
whole sroup only four children
were found who vouid in any way
qualify. All the rest were either
blond or so nearly to that they
could not pas3 for a veal brunette.
Not only did the search go
through the schools but it went
into the group practicing In Will
son Park for the May Day affairs
and siill none were tound.
Notes were sent to the mothers
of the tour that were likely at au
to take the flirt, of litt.e "Jan
and in rcLtiise the mothers
i
brought the children to try-out j
Thursday afternoon. After the
closest sort of try out little seven
year old Jtkhard Smith, son ol
Mr. and Mr?. Merle Smith of 606
Church street was chosen to take
the part.
The other three tot -5 trying out
Rirhanl Van Cleave. William King j
and Wfron Maynard will all lake
parts in the play. They are seem
ingly of a group too rare to lose
track of. When only four tiny
ooys iroiu.m1 msi iu uic ium m
grade can be found of a slender.
brunette type in all the schools of
Salem it is necessary to keep close1
track of them when once they be
found. i

Japanese of
Salem Giving
Fine Program
Tonight at the T. M. C. A. the
Japanese of Salem are entertain
ing with typical Japanese music
introducing Japanese Instruments,
piano number, dancing and char
acteristic songs. The Instruments
to be used In this program are
the koto, the samlsen. and the
shaknhaebi.
Concerning the koto, there Is
aa Interesting legend which runs
something in this wise. Some four
thousand years ago. there lived a
wise emperor tn China who was
very fond of mnsic He had a
harp of If strings constructed.
and presented it to bis two daugh
ten bidding them play upon it
The princesses, however, not on
like sisters, quarelled over it. thus
causing the emperor more grief
than pleasure.
Angry and disappointed with
the outcome, the emperor split the
harp in two parts leaving one with
IS strings and the other with 12.
One of these parts he presented
one to each sister. 1
Over e thousand years ago the
one with IS strings was Intro
duced In to Japan by a high priest
and until recently the use of this
Instrument has been -confined to
upper class homes only. Now It
has corns to take the place tn
Japanese musical circles that our
piano takes in our musical circles.
Every Japanese girl of good taste
and culture Is expected to know
not only the art of the tied cer
emony, flower arrangement and
home management, but also she
must know how to play the koto
as well.
The koto Is made of an oblong
sounding board, a single piece of
' paulownia" about six feet long
It has 13 silk strings with a sep
arate bridge to eaeh which are ad
justed by the player according to
the key of the music. All the mu
sic for this instrument which is
?lowu and, graceful is memorized
lu' " yiajru wuu
both hands by means of three
ivory harp nails on each hand. It
has a range of two and one half
octaves.
When the summer and (utumn
night are clear, when the peace
ful moon hangs high in the sky
and when the crickets begin to
chirp in chorus, the Japanese girl
or woman, likes to carry her koto
to the veranda and play. Here
she forgets her worries of daily
routine and her mind wanders in
the coolness of the night in the
land of the fairies or what not
entirely absorbed in the art of
playing.
The samisen is a three stringed
instrument which was also intro
duced from China. The shaku
haci, or Japanese flute is a simple
wind Instrument. It is made of
bamboo with 5 openings. Because
of its simplicity, though it takes
much practice to become a mas
ter of it so that the true beauty
of soft and pleasing tones is pro
duced, it has many amateur play
ers. 1

VM rl '-l
There is . . in this fashion of
complementing one's com
plexion with one's stockings . .
a subtle artistry ... a com
plete harmony ...that we
have never consistently
achieved before. For, as legs
take on the same tone as face,
arms, and neck (winch is the
object of the skin-tone stock
ings) . . . our frocks become
dramatized. An the line, sil
houette, and every charming
detail are accented.
The Gordon Skin-Tone are
designed for every woman un
der the sun . . . and also for the
ones who avoid the sun . . as
you will see by the list that
follows:
FOR THE FAIR-SKINNED WOMAN :
"Champagne" to match her natural
coloring; "Noon"to lend it warmth of
tone: "Fair Tan" to match her suntan;
and "Circe" for evening.
FOR THE WOMAN OF MEDIUM

FOR THE BRUNETTE: In th. same
order of use "Ormond," "Coronado,"
