CZERVOHKY EXHIBITS MASTERFUL SKILL

AS CONCERT SOLOIST Richard Czerwonky, assisting soloist with the Symphony orchestra in i'S concert at the Coliseum Monday evening, gave a rare exhibition of mapterful playing marked by brilliant technique and resourceful Interpretations. Facile with his technique, faultless with his bowing, he drew pure, unwavering tones from his instrument which alone would establish him ps an unusual artist The encores he received were a testimonial of the tavor which his playing met. The audience was attentive and no higher tribute couud be paid the propram and the soloist than the degree of attention shown and the number of encores called for. Many times the artist was forced to return to the platform to respond with encores. His individuality and charm won him the hearts of the audience. IIU astonishine techniaue makes It easily

apparent why he has had such re

markable success all over tne country. Plavs Own ComDosltion

Mr Oerwnnkv. who is a composer

of note, played one of hi3 own compositions, "Romance." as one of his three numbers on the program. That and "Improvisations" were played with piano accompaniment by Miss Marjorie Beck, pianist for the orchestra. The orchestra In its concert produced - an ' artistic achievement unrivalled by Its past performances of the season. The "Nutcracker Suite," by Tschaikowsky, played for the first time here, was accorded enthusiastic approval by the audience. A feeling for the rythm and charming interpretations, of the varied types of selections were produced under the commanding baton of the conductor. Prof. Maddy, director of the orchestra, undoubtedly deserves credit for the way in which he has developed the orchestra, and the numbers Monday evening gave ample evidence of the progress that has been made. Mr. Czerwonky himself was more than generous with his praise of the local musicians.

Feb. 26. An exceeding faith is shown In the name and picture pf George Washington, since the scramble for foreign moneys began here a. few days ago. Money changers refuse to take . any checks and the American cash they accept must bear the engraving of George Washington. Such bills they call "Washington's." The reason for this is that local dealers have in earlier times accepted Canadian bills at the same face value aa American bills, later to discover that there is a difference of some 12 per cent in the two moneys. Dollars fluctuate in value from 300,000 to 550,-OOOrubles.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. 28. Knickerbockers for women seem to be here to stay for a while at least. Women could not be converted to bloomers when they were introduced by intellectual feminists as a reform in dress back in) 1851. But now a few flappers stroll off the golf course in knickers and go down Main Street to get a soda and the youth cf the nation acclaims the new style for street wear. For half a dozen decades there have

been prophets ; who saw, or thought they saw, trousers for women on the horizon. A . few times indeed some daring feminine souls did break away from the tyranny of hoops and dust trailing skirts to appear in bloomers or even trousers. But the experiments generally fizzled out speedily. There is an old letter written to the Lowell Courier by a St. Louis woman regarding four young women who passed through Missour.1 on their way west wearing men's apparel. Their father and brother accompanied them and approved of the style. "They were from Philadelphia, nnd

highly respectable," wrote the corres

pondent, reporting on this startling

news item. "Their suits on the boat

were fashionable and fine black dress coats, black pants, buff vests, and hats

of glossy black. Their hair was cut

short." - She also added that their conduct on the boat was perfetly ladylike.

This was about the middle of the

nineteenth century, when bloomers

were raising such a furore. Short hair was also being advocated by high-! brow women as being more comfcrt-1 able and sensible. The idea was that

the short hair and bloomers would almost entirely relieve a woman from the care of personal adornment. It was this angle of approach and not the unattractiveness of bloomers and short hair which left the women of America cold. Introduced as a reform, short hair and bloomers were laughed out of existence in short order. Bloomers Were Misnamed A flapper who could claim to be the pioneer wearer of . knickers would doubtless be proud of the title. But back in 1851, Amelia Bloomer lamented the fact that the famous bloomer garment should ever have been associated with her name. She spent endless time explaining that she was not the first person to wear bloomers; that they should really be "millers," as a Miss Miller was the first wearer, and that she had been connected with the project in its early days only by her articles favoring this dress reform which appeared in the Seneca Lily, a paper which she edited. Later, she ex

plained, she did appear in bloomers, but only because she believed it right to practise what she preached. However, in spite of Mrs. Bloomer's protests the name stuck. It is interesting to note that this garment which aroused so much excitement had about the same relation to the skirts of the day that knickerbockers have to the skirts of 1922. Women's dresses in 1851 were widely denounced on the ground of being unhealthy. They were long, heavy and full. They trailed in the dust to catch germs. They gathered mud from wet streets in rainy weather, and then flapped about the wearers' ankles to give them colds and pneumonia. Yet no "lady" dared lift her voluminous skirts high enough to clear the streets. Referring to this fashion one editor declared that "a false modesty has

caused many a young girl to die of consumption." The first bloomers were long like these skirts. Short bloomers would have been hooted off the streets without a fighting chance if it is possible to imagine the girl of the period appearing in them. The bloomers which upset the conservatives were full, ankle length affairs. A skirt con

siderably longer than our popular

knee length specimen fell over them. The effect was very Turkish, but to our modern eyes it would be about as daring as a deep sea diving outfit. The War on Bloomers Nevertheless, bloomers were hotly denounced or as hotly approved by

everybody who talked, wrote, or lectured about them. They were taken seriously by the undecorative blue stockings, and so they failed to appeal very much to the younger people who might have popularized them. They cied a lingering, natural death. Modem knickerbockers, like the old bloomers, have sought the level of the skirt in vogue. Skirts go up and down ,but they have never before gone quite so high, and they are now wavering toward a drop. This was the psychological moment the first in centuries when knickers might successfully appear on the streets. They were only a step from the knee length skirt and so they attracted very little concondemnation. Knickers are now being worn for sports, on the street in the daytime, for shopping, and in general for in-

iormai wear, iheir popularity as a permanent feature of women's dress depends on their possibilities for variety. So long as they have some touch of novelty the chances are good that

women will continue to be interested in them. One enthusiastic wearer of the tweeds insists that knickers in soft silks of delicate shades would be as decorative a costume for evening wear as a skirt. She admits, however, that unless knickers become firmly entrenched as an accepted article of feminine apparel this sort of evening dress will remain a vague dream. The fact which makes it seem likely that knickerbockers will remain popular is that they have been introduced naturally, without any suggestion of dress reform attached to them. The vogue of sports brought about sport clothes, and these became popular because women were not frightened away by the words "sensible" or "reform." Instead, they were atracted by the newest styles which happened to combine comfort with novelty So long as knickerbockers continue to be associated with the latest fashion by

is the best thing women can get today. I am perfectly certain that once they

HE DARKENED HIS GRAY HAIR

Tells How He Did It.

Mr. J. A. McCrea, a well-known resident of California, who was called Daddy and Grandpa on account of his white hair, and who darkened it with a home-made mixture, recently made

the following statement: "Anyone can prepare a simple mixture at home that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy. To a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of bay rum, a small box of Barbo Compound and Vt, ounce of glycerine. These ingredients can be bought at any drug store at very little cost. Apply to the hair twice a week until the desired shade is obtained. It does not color the scalp, is not sticky or greasy and does not rub off." Advertisement.
