Paderwiski, on Last Tour, to Retire California Ranch Paderewskl is going to retire, and Deems Taylor, noted composer and critic, calling him "matinee idoj of three generations," declares that he is truly great in spite of Ills faults. Why Paderewskl has "held his public in the hollow of his hand," is thus explained by Mr. Taylor in McCall's for Jan uary: "This is, so he has said. Ignace Jan Paderewski's last concert sea son in America. If he does retire, he will leave a gap in our musical ranks not soon to be filled. For his has been one of the most ex traordinary careers in musical his tory; that of a virtuoso who has held his public in the hollow of his hand for 40 years; who retired from music to enter politics, and retiring from politics, returned to be the musical idol of the grand -chlldron of his first auditors. "When Paderewskl gave his first American recital in New York in 1891, American musical taste was fast developing far past the circus stage of the Harnuin and Jenny Lind days. "The young newcomer (he was just 30) was an instant popular success. The critics, with some notable exceptions, were inclined to bo lukewarm at first; but thero was never any doubt as to what the general public thought of him. Overwhelmed by his good looks, his famous mane of tawny hair, his charm of manner and tho elec tric vitality of his playing, they waited not for critical permission, but took him to their hearts with no further ado. "Steinway hall, where he gave his first reeital, proved too small for his audiences. Jt took the new ly opened Carnegie hall, hitherto considered far too big for any but symphony and choral concerts, to house ' his admirers. The rest of America hailed him as unreserv edly as New York had done. The receipts from his first American tour were $35,000; from the sec ond, $160,000; from the third, $248,000 considerable sums even now, and colossal for the nineties. Probably no other musician, and certainly no other pianist, was over ko well known in this coun try. Thousands of people talked of 'PnreskV or Pndfrnosky (thy never hit upon 'Padcrefsky' ) who had probably never heard a piano played In public. "Hy the time tho war came on, he was a rich man. Like most Poles, a fanatical patriot, he promptly deserted music for world affairs, lie was elected prime min ister of the newly created Polish Htatc, and was he- 'irst represen tative at the peace conference ami at tho opening sessions of the league of nations. "He expended most of his pri vate fortune, and lost the rest. He decided to return to tho concert stage. It was a decision that took courafi'e. To six years ho had hardly thought of music: for four of them he had almost literally not opened his piano. Could he come back ? He retired for six months of Intensive practice. ami much speculation and hcadshak ing. "No one who was there is likely to forget his first return concert in New York, In the fall of '.i22. It was-the same Paderewskl. Kveti the same faults the oceiisbma triok'Of "splashing (bringing down the left hand before the right . tho tendency to pound the piano Into tonelessness in the effort to get out of It n bigger tone than It possessed and the poetic insight, the clarity of musical vision, the bigness of Interpretative concep tion that rendered those faults than nothing. "Now, nt 70. he Is retiring. He could go dn playing Indefinitely. bo far as his drawing power Is concerned, nut ne is un u. wants to rest.

A tongue twisting promise, to be sure, but worth remember ing. When washing vases and other pieces, take care nut to let one slide against another, for noth ing mars the edues so easily as the sharp edges of oilier cut jjlass. Soon, if you aro not careful, the once iridescent decoration. will be dulled with many .fine Hears. A soft brush well lathered with soap tihould be used. With hot water this will make cut glass that has become dim and dusty sparkle again Hko new. ' The best way to clean the water rings and dirt from tho inside of a taH. slender vase is to put in a liberal supply of oap jelly, a (inanity of soft paper in small wad-, and a little warm water. Swish the mixture about vigor- ously, then rimo the vase and place ft upside down to drip dry. - rju. same method can be usod rOH. necked to permit puttins the hand down into them j A hard substance such as shot loosens dirt, but Is likely to leave J tiny scratches that In time will spoil the beauty of the glass.

' H WHAT 'STERLING' MEANS, WORD'S HISTORY TOLD The word "sterling' 'Is a cor r option of ''Kastorllngs," (he name given by the KukUbIi to cer tain traders who camo from tho eastern German cities nnd who were famous for the purity of their coinage. Kiisllsh coins of .silver were finally brought up to the same high standard and were, therefore, called "easterlings'' and later 'sterlings." TIiuh, tho word "sterling" derived from the name of honest men, became the ac cepted term for pure metal of standard quality. What does the word "sterling" mean when stamped on sliver? Most everyone knows that U guar antees quality. Many person, how ever, do not know the exact mean ing of the word. Literally, "sterl ing" stamped on a piece of silver means: "TIiIn silver is 92G-1000 fine." In other words. It Is silver hi its purest workable form lll!5 parts pure silver nnd 75 parts al loy, used to give tho silver greater hardness nnd durability. This pro portion never varies. It la fixed by law. The term "sterling" is .most often Used to describe household silver such as knives, forks and spoons, ton services, plates und other object of. solid silver. .
