That pupil had better talent than the average. He took lessons since he was seven years old and of good ’ teachers. His piano was one of the best, and his parents were oarefnl to have it in good tnne and order. Providence and parents, ' fortune and teachers did exceptionally well for him. What is the cause of his being but a poor player? That boy had everything in the way of talent and op portunity. The arch would not stand alone; the hoy could not play. The one lacked a keystone; the other lacked a method of application. Who was to blame for his want of success? Here is the answer as given in The Home Mu sic Journal: First, the boy himself; second, his parents, for not requiring him to make something of his talents and opportuni ty and for not helping him to practice by setting apart regular hours for it and sacredly holding them for him and him to them; third, his teachers should have demanded this regular practice of his parents. She had a beautiful voice, which was finely cultivated. She had a pleasing presence and a magnetic influence over her audience. She sang with soulful expression, yet she seldom remained in any choir her full year. What was wrong? The authority quoted replies: She was dictatorial and self impor tant. She made sarcastic remarks about the efforts of the other singers. She was unpleasant when other singers had solos. She was late at choir practice and often excused herself from staying till it was over. She was frequently away from her church and was careful to send an inferior substitute — in short, she was an example of “ selfishness defeating it self. ” That teacher had talent that almost amounted to genius. He had as good an education, both literary and musical, as money could buy. He was a fairly good student. When his education was finished, he secured a fine position as director of music iu a well established seminary. He did not stay his first year out. Why? One of his best teachers said: “ He is always making an excep tion of himself. He was always in trou ble over the breaking' of rules — out of his room in study hours, out walking i when he should have been studying, wanted to play the organ when he was due at the piano, wanted to study his Latin lesson when he should have been at the organ. Still he got his lessons well .and stood high in his studies. ” In short, when he finally became a di rector he k{ipt up his old ways —not on time, a lack of method, making an ex ception of himself, disturbing the gov ernment and order of the school for the sake of having his own way until his room was .worth more than his presence. Fancy Workbasket. A dainty basket especially adapted to the wants of women who indulge in fancy work has been recently illustrat ed and described by The Delineator. < The basket is made of willow and is ob long in shape. The inside is lined with old rose china silk, which is shirred twice at the top. Aboye the shirring is a puff, which stands along the upper edge of the basket. A double shirring is made below the puff on the outside, and BASKET FOB FANCY NEEDLEWOKK. below it falls a full frill, which is cut out in points and buttonholed with light green silk, a crescent being prettily worked in each point. The handle of the basket is covered .with green ribbon, which is closely wound about it, and over it is coiled heavy rose colored silk cord. A large bow of green ribbon is fastened ac one side of the handle with dressy effect. Tbe Correct Kid Gloves. During the past two years the dressed or glace kid gloves have been considered as dressy as the suede or undressed kid, but a writer in The Ladies ’ Home Journal considers the latter more suita ble for evening wear. She says: With ball toilets white, pearl, the palest of yellow, pink and mauve obtain, though white far outranks the others. Even with the short, full puffed sleeves on such costumes a 20 button length is sufficient, and many wear only a 16 button glove, as the ugly fashion of showing a few inches of the bare arm between sleeve and glove continues in vogue. Self colored stitching is the handsomest for full dress. For the thea ter, day weddings, visiting, etc., the four button gloves or the eight button mousquetaire styles are worn with black or self colored stitching. The embroid ery on the back promises to be wider for the spring. White, pearl, light tan and mode shades arc correct for the above dressing. For shopping, traveling and general wear four button glace or .pique kid gloves in brown, tan, dark red and slate shades obtain, with large buttons or the hook fastenings. For a fleshy wrist the latter .fit better, and I find old ladies wearing them “ because they are so easy to fasten. ” Have your glove to fit but not .cramp the hand. Cheap gloves are never a bar gain. uuoves need not match a costume bnt must harmonize with it. Have your gloves opened, nos stretched, and pow dered when buying them. Remove them by turning them wrong side out and do not stretch them out of shapeJjy pull ing at the finger tips. Remember that as yon first put on new gloves so they will be shaped. Take time to put them on gently and see that each finger is on straight. Pull them into shape and lay away smoothly if you wish them to look well as long as they last. THIS SEASON ’ S PARASOLS. Fussy and Elaborate, but Not Always Pic turesque — The New Handles. The styles in parasols this spring are quite in keeping with the styles in clothes— extremely fussy, very elabo rate. There is a wide range to choose from, for every color under the sun is allowed aud every material as well. The new parasols have many little de tails different from those of last year, bnt are about the same size and shape. The eccentric shapes are never consid- ered ’ very good form and are only a fad which, as a rule, most women do not indulge in. Those of this year have sometimes two materials — for instance, the center part will be of silk or satin, then will come an insertion of folds of chiffon, then a band of the thick ma terial and a ruffle of the chiffon. It is claimed that this fashion of haying the center of the thick goods shades the eyes sufficiently, and then that the shadows cast by having alternate stripes of satin and chiffon make them very be coming to the complexion. Black and white parasols are exceed ingly smart, not- the black andjwhite material so much as the black trimmed with white. The black satin with broad designs of coarse white lace and deep ruffles of the same lace are very smart indeed. The advantage of this style of parasol is that it can be worn with a gown of any color and look well, black and white being permissible with every thing. The ruffles of lace and chiffon add greatly to the beauty of any parasol, hut are of course entirely out .of place with a tailor made gown or any walk ing costume.^ The fancy pompadour silks are made up into exceedingly dainty parasols. They are extremely reasonable in price, considering their beauty, and can be bought as low as $6. Indeed all parasols are much cheaper this season. The chiffon parasols are very much like those of last year. The same full amount of the stuff is gathered in at the top with a big bow of ribbon, and the ruffles are plain or figured, just as one desires. For wash gowns and dainty elaborate summer costumes these chiffon parasols are decidedly the thing. The pink ones are extremely becoming, but LACE AND CHIFFON PAKASOL. what pink parasol is not becoming? And if women would only understand how much depends on the color of the para sol they carry they would spend much more time choosing a becoming shade for their complexion than they would over the handle or the fabric itself. Pale blue, for instance, is anything but an enlivening color, and very few skins look well when seen through a blue light. Certain shades of red are also very bad, but pink and yellow and even white do not possess the disagreeable characteristics of those already men tioned. The handle of a parasol is always a large subject. So much individual taste is now used that many women have them made to order. The Dresden han dles seejm very appropriate with the dainty light colors. They wear well and have the advantage over metal in that they do not tarnish, nor do they soil the glove. The handles are of medium length and not very large. The effort now is to have the paraSol as light as possible, so the ribs and stick are. made after the latest invention. The gilt and silver ribs look extremely smart, and the fan cy sticks are in delightful contrast to the old fashioned ones. Opinions differ as to the number of parasols a woman needs in her summer wardrobe. The New York Herald, which reports the foregoing, says: She who is extravagant can find use for sev eral. She who is prudent contends that she can get along with one .pretty sun umbrella, one dark and one very light parasol, while she who is very econom ical proudly states that a fancy sun um brella will enable her to avoid sunstroke all through the heated term. ‘ A Delicate Custard Fritter. A custard fritter is very delicate. Measure out a oup of milk, add it to half a oup of flour, pouring the milk over it Very gradually, to make*a smooth batter. Then add a well .beaten egg and cook the batter in a double boiler for 20 minutes. At the end of this time add 2 yolks,of eggs, a pinch of salt and a ta blespoonful of sugar. Let the mixture boil up over the stove for a minute or two longer, beating it carefully to thor oughly mix it. Pour it into a long greased pan of proper size to spread it to the depth of one inch. Let it become thoroughly chilled. It is just as well to stand over night. The next day cut it in. long pieces, about 2 inches hy 3. Dip it in beaten egg, then in fine bread crumbs, handling it very gently, as it is soft. Fry it in hot fat until it is a delicate golden brown and serve at once. Household Brevities. , A novelty is a combined dough board and barrel cover. Crash makes good kitchen aprons and washes easily. Pillow slips should be ironed length wise, instead of crosswise, if one wishes to iron wrinkles out instead of in. Keep the lamps filled, trimmed and u clean in every part to obtain the best resnlts. Do not use boiling but merely warm water to wash colored cotton and ging ham dresses^ ______________ THE INSTRUCTOR TALKS. He Gives Lovely Woman a Few Pointers About the Silent Steed. “ A woman should alwoys select a wheel with a wide space between the steering center and saddle post truss, ” said the veteran instructor, “ as it makes mounting much easier. You know a Woman mounts from the front, pushing herself back on the saddle, while a man mounts in exactly the opposite way. If your wheel has this wide space, and you put your right foot on the pedal, pull your skirt around in the hack and press the bust hard against the handle bar, yon will find that mounting is easy, and that four-fifths of your skirt won ’ t he hanging on the left side when yon get J up. “ The fashionable way to ride now is to sit well forward and erect in the saddle, getting the full reach of the leg. A full reach of the arm as well as the leg is also desirable, for besides being the most graceful way of riding it is the easiest. If the arm is bent, one soon becomes very tired, bnt if it has full play, and the handle bar is grasped very loosely, I believe some of you could ride forever. “ Many of yon ride with your handle bars too high. The proper way is to put the post of the bar well down into the head of the wheel, turning the adjusta ble bar up to meet the reach. Then, too, in selecting a wheel never buy one with too long a crank, as one over 5^ or 6 inches gives too wide a circle and throws the knees up in an ungraceful way. If possible, get a crank without pins through it, for then you are in no danger of getting your skirts caught. “ In seleci ’ ng a saddle get one with a backward and forward adjustment and let it be preuty wide, with a short peak. A narrow handle bar. is much the best, as a wide and high one involves a great deal of lost motion. ” — New York Sun. SAGE WORDS FOR CYCLISTS. Always keep to the right. Always keep your wheel clean. Never turn a comer rapidly when the asphalt is wet. It is slippery. Don ’ t forget that pedestrians have rights. It often saves bitter thoughts. Do not become daring. Take no chances. It ’ s the wise man that succeeds. Early morning rides, say from 5 until 7 o ’ clock, out solne country road are de lightful. - When riding on a street that has a ’ street car track, always take the right hand side Of the track. Bicycling to be a pleasure should not be overdone. The very minute that the rider becomes tired he' should stop and rest. Never get rattled should you he placed . in a pocket hy vehicles hemming you in. Keep your wits about you. Stay on your wheel and watch for an opening to es cape. Never ride rapidly around a comer unless yon can see far enough up the side street to avoid a collision with a rider or vehicle entering the street you are leaving. — Exchange. HUMOR OF THE WHEEL. Women on wheels should remember Lot ’ s wife and never look back. If at first you don ’ t succeed in learn ing to ride the “ bike, ” tty, try again. In bicycle collisions it is more or less significant that the wheel is always on top. He who does not belong to some bi cycle club is very far behind the proces sion. Champion cyclists explain that they alone are the ones who “ stoop to con- quer. ” ■ , . From earliest ages children were par tial to the bicycle and continually plead ed with mamma to “ see the wheel go . round. ” There is neither economy nor satis faction in a cheap wheel. It invariably breaks down three miles from the near est town. “ Do yon wear a sweater when yon . ride your \wheel? ” “ Mercy, no! I get so warm I don ’ t need such a thing. ” — Exchange. ___________ A Wheel Changed World. The bicycle has altered many things in life. Take woman as an example. Formerly they were divided into those who tried to play the piano and those who did not. Next it was those who wanted to vote and those who objected . to doing so. Now the two sections a? ^ those who ride the bicycle and those who don ’ t, which is again subdivided into those who wear knickerbockers and those who wdn ’ t wear them. Wheel; ■-
