TWO PICTURES.

An old farmhouse with meadows wide And weet clover on each Bide; A bright-eyed boy, who looks from out The door with woodbine wreathed about, And wishes his one thought all day; "Oh, if I could but fly the world to see, How happy, happy, happy, 4ow happy I should be!" Amid the city's constant din, A man who round the world had been, Who. mid the tumult and the throng. Is thinking, thinking, all day long; Oh, could I only tread once more The field path to the farmhouiie door, The old green meadow could I see, How happy, happy, happy, How happy I should be!"

lutely Informal and appeal particularly to the men, though there is never a scarcity o women. Many of the members of these clubs go to spend the whole evening, while others come In for an hour or so before or after an automobile drive. A summer garden concert is always an attractive stent, with the women In their dainty summer gowns and large picture hats, and scarfs and silken vhawls of many colors, and the men in white flannels and ducks. The automobllists who come in also add a picturesque note to the scene In their long coats and the floating veils of the women. So it is not surprising at all that the concerts are so popular, for they

appeal to the eye as well as the ear, not to mention the refreshing of the inner man that is always a part of the evenings enjoyment. The gardens are

such a delightful place to meet one's friends or to entertain visiting guests and the concerts this week all found

a great number of out-of-town visitors, for in spite of the cool weather the gardens were crowded. At one of the card parties of the week given in honor of a Cincinnati visitor, the prizes were lovely corsage boquet pins. These are quite the newest thing and are exceedingly practical as welt as ornamental. They are semicircular in form, with a straight pin, thus allowing room for the stems. Not only do they hold the flowers well but the blossoms keep their freshness much longer, as the stems are not crushed and broken. The pins are shown in the shops in gold and silver and also in the lovely enamels of delicate tints. The exquisite white enamel that is so poular now in all Jewelry, makes particularly beautiful boquet holders. Indianapolis News.

AMERICAN SONG WRITERS A composer usually knows least about his own product. Paradoxical

as this may seem it is nevertheless a matter of history. The composer j knows whether he has written accord-

ing to the rules and forms of composition, but as to the effect his copositions will produce on the public he knows little. The things to which he attaches least importance may become most popular, and what he considers hiB best work may make no public appeal. The point is that in the end the

public is the court of last resort and from its verdict there is no appeal. To the faking of songs there is no end and the shifting process is going on continually. Every year the public becomes a little more critical and dis

criminating and demands a little higher grade of songs. In order to get on the programs of the best singers to day a song must have a distinct merit. All this by the way of introduction to Mr. James G. MacDermid, the subject of this sketch. Mr. McDermid came over from Canada a number of years ago and settled in Chicago. For a considerable

length of time he studied singing, piano and composition, but for reasons of his own he never entered the field of teaching. A few years ago he began writing songs. Some of these were shown in manuscript to Chicago singers, who recognized their merit and began singing them. Then the good news began coming in. The songs were inquired for at the music stores. In some way other cities heard of them and began writing for them. These inquiries became so insistent that Mr. MacDer mid was finally forced in self defense to publish them. It should be remembered that the

demand for these songs was created by the songs themselves, not by printers ink, and it is the singing of these songs that has made them suhc a host of friends. Mr. MacDermid began publishing in 1909 and in the two years since elapsed a half dozen c" his songs has sold to the very comfortable number of over sixteen thousand. It may truthfully be said that these songs heve sung their way into the hearts of the people. This is practically all the publicity they have had. The value of a song bears no relation to its technical difficulty. A good son may be difficult, but a good sonj; may also be simple. Any one can write a difficult song, but to write a good song and still have itwithin the

possibilities of most singers is a high-;

er order of workmanship. Mr. MacDermid makes no use of the complex idiom of modern composition. His songs rely upon the healthy tone of their subject matter, and a straightforward manner of expression. The basis of a song is its melody. Mr. MacDermid is well endowed with mel

odic sense and his accomplishments are adequate without being unnecessarily difficult. The following are his best known songs: Song Cycle Faith; Hope; Charity. Ninety-first Psalm. For the Mountain Shall Depart. Arise, Shine, for Thy Light is Come. In My Father's House Are Many Mansions. Thou Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace. My Love is Like the Red, Red Rose Filfilment. Love's Great Song. These songs may be had for high, medium or low voice.

FADS AND FASHIONS

Some of the summer wraps touch the floor, while others are dimunitive affairs that are merely thrown over the shoulders. Usually the material is transparent, or, if not transparent, so soft, thin and limpt that it gives the suggestion of transparency. Tawny brown is a favorite color for handsome

wraps for wear over smart afternoon frocks. Last summer brown was as dead as a last year's fashion magazine Brown linens and foulards could be picked up for a song. Brown in a

garment costing over three figures wos unheard of. But now all the brown shades are back in high favor and the choice ranges from buff down through mustard, tobacco and wood browns to a rich, deep seal.

What In the springtime promised to

be a fad has developed into a fashion.

This is the taffeta coat which is worn

with plain and striped skirts. It is

usually of white serge or lingerie, pon

gee or rajah. Usually the plain white

is chosen, but often there Is a stripe

to it. The coats are m all the fruit

reds, in the purple or the plums. In

leaf greens and tobacco brown. It is an attractive Idea for the woman who has a separate white skirt and does not wish to get a short coat that

can be worn only as a part of a suit. The tunics are becoming longer as the season advances, and in some cases verv nearly reach the hem of the un

derskirt. Beneath these tunics at

times a kind of quaint cuirass of oldtime lace may be descried, with the upper portion of the corsage and enwrapping hip piece of similar lace. Sleeves to the elbow are finished with a trio of silken muslin bias folds of three shades or different colors matching those of the dress, or they are turned back with a reverse of lace and edged with a narrow line of velvet. The wide Japanese sash is a piquant and charming finish for dainty

summer frocks. It is fastened high in the back, has enormous loops or bows and is usually of some contrasting or deeper colored silk or satin than the gown itself. Mnnv nf th new narasols are in

bordered effects pongee silks with

bands of Persian or Dresden satins or perhaps a border of plain colored taffeta. Florence Fairbanks.
