Does Your Hubby Pick Your Gown? BY MURIEL MARTIN. Docs he or does he not? That is the question. And much has been said cn both sides. One prominent Michigan st. merchant who said he would commit murder If hu was quoted, said, "Any man who attempts to pick out hts wife's clothes Is a No wonder he did not want to be quoted. Ht declared that the women who go to his store to buy know Just w..at they want. They do. But the question 13 will their husbands pay the pric Ho said that women always pay more than their husbands would wish. But here la where the woman who takes her husband along when shj buya clothes ?,rr,re3 a big hit. For a man is ashamed to have a clrk know that he Is a cheap skate, and assumes a generous peso for the benefit o: bystanders. "Or'y these lavender-sacked, pink-shirted, whiskerless sissies interfere with a woman when she nuys Rothes." raved the merchant, "unless It is when she buys lingerie. "When we display lingerie in the window, the audience is .always composed of men." Hut a man knows when a woman s well dressed, n'est co-pas? "No," advised the merchant. "he only knows when she is poorly dressed." Tne question waa settled on his part. A WOMAN'S VIEW. The next victim was a woman, a blonde, cheerful and flighty. "I wouldn't let my husband pick out hair pin for me," she said. "He would be sure to get it too large. Now every time he goes any place, he brings me a hat. But such a hat! He brings the very biggest one he can get for his money. You see I'm small and look like an Inverted pyramid in a large hat." Then there is the woman who always looks dowdy and frumpish unless her husband takes her in hand and picks out her clothes. And some men have unnatural good taste when it comes to women's clothes. Hut they are often forced to it by the hideous contrast their wives make with other women. Necessity Is the father of remedy and they effect a rejuvenation. Some men would jam their wives into tallor-mado clothes regardless of nature. And then wonder why they look like a pillow tied in the middle or a draped oean pole. Or else ho would buy her a fuzzy fur coat that puts her in line for exhibition at the circus. It has been eaid that many mm consider their whoa as shop windows. In that case the old motto, "Keep thy shop and thy shop will keep thee," still holds food for thought. MR. GOODEXOUC.H RITES. The following Is a letter received on the subject from the Banker's Life Insurance company in Le3 Moines, Iowa: Miss Elsie Rogers, South Rend News-Times: In regard to the following question "Do men pick out their wives' clothes?" will answer that some do who shouldn't, some don't who should, while others couldn't If they would. Nevertheless the choice oi women's clothes la determined by the amount of admiration or attention shown to them by men. As for my wife, I could swear that I do not pick out htr clothes and yet I know that her choice is Influenced by the clothes I speak about as appealing to my taste. "Wo frequently discuss the attractiveness of the women wo meet. For Instance, several of the girls who work in my office wear a certain style dress, the name of which I never was cure, however on several occasions I mentioned to my wlfo how neat they appeared with the result that her new dress was of that stylo. I am sure that sruch Is the condition in many other families. If the men do not actually pick out the garment, they influence their wives choice to such an extent that a positive answer "yea" to the question would not be far from wrong. Tours sincerely, O. L. GOODI2NOUGH. We are still open to argument, criticism or remarks on the subject, "Do men pick out their wives' clothes?"

Does Your Wifey Choose Your Suit? RV PICK McCLUHE. "Let her pick out anything of mine her little heart wi.she?. but Lord keep her from buying my ti-s." groamd a South Rend man whose name is too well known to mention, when asked if it were true that Iii wife always chose his costume. "She and others of her sex seem to labor under the impression that ties must match the carpets of our home. An hones t'Gawd, buddie, I've been handed samples of the most boisterous neckwear for birthdays the past few years so that I n afraid to wear 'em after dark. People might think I was t.eorg Kurtz only I ncer wore a flower in my buttonhole except the day I was married." Investigation proved that conditions a stavd by the gentleman quoted above are similar in many South Rend homes. "When it comes to choosing the suit for fall, summer, winter or spring, tne good wife i.'iows a taste far superior to hubby. Hut she, falls dow n with an awful crash when it comes to tics.. We don't claim to know the why or wherefore but she always wants something with mammoth figures In It. Roses that bloom in the spring, tra-la; leaves that nature herself wouldn't r?ccg.:':c; designs that any pape r-hamrer micht envy w ifey thinks that a lie is not a tie unless it has these. I.IKES SILK SHIRTS. She l5n't !o bad when it comes to shirts, although 'she shows a decided preference for those made of silk, such us plumbers, plasterers, soft drink place owners and other millionaires are wont to wear during these days of "get it while the gettin's good." And though we who are mere men look w onder-eyed at the shoes mi-lady picks for her own dainty feet, the seldom asks that we buy footwear too small for our own. Sh eloe:-n'i Insist that we wear high heels, the only point that seems to worry her being the fact that we don't have them polished often enough. Rut we can remember e;irs and years am when this same point pierced the gaytty of our childhood when Saturdays, ordinarily times of rejoicing and no school were dimmed by a luue black shadow fashioned out of shoe polish. It seems that this same shadow must cling as we grow eddcr, the only consolation being that we may, ordinarily, .-cliovc ours has of this burden by patronizing a heroine made famous by none other than Fred Denis. z., Sarah, the shoe shine girl. Hats for men seldom are chosen by their wives according to the best local authority. An exception is noted in the ease of the lady who. while shipping last wek with friend husband, made him buy a warm felt hat because it had a pretty lining. Yes. tht-re was a. flowery design on the inside. Sure, he bought it. though his lips were moving as the clerk placed it gently in a paper bag. We thought perhaps the man was saying to himself: "My dear little wife certainly has nice taste when it comes to hats. I always liked pretty llnirgs, and u felt hat in August isn't bad nfter one gets us-d tr IV Of couro he may not have said that but he had th it kind of ji expression on his face.

Music Master Leaves South Bend

Final Concert Today at Notre Dame by Wilhelm Middelschulte

Wilhelm Middelschulte. said by critics to be "the world's greatest organist," appears in his final recital for the summer school at Notre Dame this anernoon. The noted organis't has given concerts in all parts of the globe and has received favorable; comment from every critic known to the musical world. Middelschulte astonishes with his marvelous technique and exriuisitely fine registration, which never savors of affectation. His playing everything from memory, as he eloes, is a gift that Is claimed by few artists in the world. To ihe few people in the past few weeks who have had tho privilege of watching the musician at the pedals it Is unnecessary to say that lie Is a master of the art of tone color who allures from his instrument wonderful effects. ;ri:atj:st rach ilayi:r. The artist, who stands alone as the greatest Dach player, can cause combinations of tone that no other player can produce. Some of the critics who have become fascinated by the countless variety of tone combinations produced by him state that he is a compiler of highest attainments. Cuilmant in a letter to Middelschulte. after hearing his concerto, said: "It ' was a grand and interesting

problems has this rare artist put to himself; and how he does solve them. According to our way cf thinking he is on the right road from the classical to modern polyphony. In the finale of his canons and fugues he opens as it were the wonderful mind of his contrapuntal art" COMI-OSRR OF HIGH Ml-' It IT. All In all press comments and critics tend to show Middelschulte to be a composer of highest attainments. In his introductory notes to the program of Mlddelschultc's recital at Notre Dame, John J. Recker. director of the university school of music has this to say of organ music: "The organ is of very ancient origin, and our instrument of today Is a direct descendent of the hydraulos or 'water organ.' so popular with the early Greeks and Itomans. The monks were the first to take up the building of organs and it remained in their hands for many years. However, about the year 1500, organ building became a general trade. In the 17th century, we find many different makes of instruments and many evidences of the ambition to make mechanical Improvements and in each succeed- ( CONTINUED ON PAGE TEN.)

Wilhelm Mlddelxhulto, Orcanls-L work." Otto Lofsman said: 'Tassacaglia shows a mastery of every respect and deserves highest admiration." Rusonl, who was a great admirer of Middelschulte, accepted the dedication of his transcription of Dach Chaconne as a special honor. He also wrote a set of canons and fugue on the choral "Cur Father Who Art In Heaven." On this work he received favor.iblo comment in musical circles. A. W. Guttschalg said: "It was an astonishing musical wonderwork that demands for its rendition the highest power. Those who cannot play it should at least know it for this work of Middelschulte takes equal rank with the greatest Vidor, Ouilmont and Reger. Musical magazines of 190S consider these works as the most dithcult in organ literature." SCIIFMAX RRAISKS HIM. In the paper by Robert Sehuman in a criticism of Middelschulte as a composer, the writer said: "His 13 a work that excites the most unusual interest. What

Flirt and Fish at Nearby Lakes BY ELSIX ROGERS. A lake Is a large or small body of water and something more. It is a place to get wet in when tha weather is hot; a place on which fair skins burn and dark ones tan. It Is a place where some men get inspiration for fish stories and some catch fish. Some people go to lakes for the summer time and some go on Sundays when they get the chance. Ice grows on the lake in the winter and water lilies in the summer. Boats race, canoes glide and men 'propose, all on the lake. Lakes are like changeable silk and come In blues and greens. A lake might be compared to a lady l;i a blue dress, a white cap and with danger in her eye. For some lakes arc treacherous. Potts always have had roctic feelings ibout lakes. There is "The Lad;' of the LaTve" by Scott, "Ti Lake" By George Moore, and a great many more which, like Ltevenson's river, 'Mow on forever." But at a lake is a pleasant place to be. It Is fun to go swimming thre-3 times a day, to rat a lot of fish and go to the lccl dances. It Is fun to be awakened by birds and hushed to sleep by bull-frogs. Lake flirtations are never dull and furnish material for the lake gossips. It would never do to name all of tho advantages of a lake and none of the disadvantages. Mosquitoes are good resorters but poor neighbors. Too, most cottages are occupied with mice as well as men. Then thero Is the smelly old oil stove and the lack of bright lights. It makes pcöplo wonder whether a lako is worth tho trouble. The children must be watched more carefully than when they play with the hose in the back yard at home. TOO MUCH COMPANY. Company is one of the drawbacks of a lake. It would not be so bad if all of your friends did not come at once. They drive out by the canoad and bring their friends along. Often they come Just for a swim but they always forget their towels and their caps. Others come out for Sunday and their hostess spends the day frying fish over the smoky stovo. Verily, verily, it is a gay life. The lakes around which South Bend people admire the sunsets are: Diamond lake, Indian lake, Hudson lake, Bass lake, Wawasee lake, Maxinkuckee lake, Koontz lake, Barron lako and other lakes besides Lake Michigan. There are a few lakes not to be mentioned, mysterious lakes where secretive fishermen go and catch 14 blue-gills in live minutes. This is the kind of lake that has no bottom and on which only one old boat floats half full of water. Of couruse there are great big, black snakes and turtles that snap off lines. Somewhere In the lake lurks a monster, nobody knows just what kind, maybe, a Chinese dragon or a Jonah whale. But it is there because so. honorable men swear it. NAMED FOR SETTLERS. About each lake are the old settlers some for whom tho lakes were named. Sam Koontz has run the old mill at Koontz's lake for years. And most of the grandfathers fer miles around hauled their grain there with oxen when they were boys. Maxinkuckee lake was named two old Indian chiefs. Max and Kuckee. The lake itself was contested property, but after many battles they came to a truce and gave the lake its present name, Maxinkuckee. Somo years ago Bass lake held enough fish to do credit to its name, but only old fishermen like Abner Hay still find them out. Mr. Hay has a notable collection of arrows, snake skins ano a real Indian canoe. Tho arrows are all deadly poison but the canoe is very inviting. . At Indian lake there is a spot known as Tuttle's landing. Mr. Tuttle built the first steamboat on the lake and his hobby is collecting guns. Revolvers, pistols, shot-guns, "BB" guns, and even squirt guns are among his trophies. Ye-s, a lake is a large or small body of water and something more.

Use Skin of Chief To Bind Bible RY EI). MURPHY. A Spanish Bible bound in the skin of a Moorish chieftain is undoubtedly the rarest curio In the Notre Dame art museum. Having been in the pos.-ession of Columbus, who took it with him on his third voyage to America, the book has a history covering nearly seven centuries, during which time it has seen three continents and passed through hundreds of hands. During the years immediately preceding the fall of Granada, the hatred of the Moors was so intense throughout Spain that it often took vent in bitter atrocities. A certain Mohammedan captain, known as Adaharda, taken by the forces of Ferdinand, suffered death in retaliation for certain cruelties attributed to the defenders of the Alhambra. The process of printing had come into general uso about this time, and an enterprising book-dealer with a view to capitalizing the universal odium attached to the Moor In Spain, skinned the victim, following his execution, and used the human hide for bookbinding. At a huge price, a courtier of Ferdinand purchased the relic, inscribed his name in it, and had it chained in tho cathedral of Castllle. There the Bible remained till the return of Christopher Columbus from the new world for the second time, when he was presented with the book by the monks of Castllle, as token of their admiration. The discoverer retained it until his tragic death in the dungeon of Seville, when it was turned over to tho Carthusian monastery of that city, later being donated to the ColumbUn memorial library of Seville. Tnere It remained on the shelves until a band of missionary monka carried it cfC with them to Peru, at the beginning of the 18th century. These priests turned it over to the Lina library. STOLEN BY BRIGANDS. For another century and a half it rested In the stacks till the outbreak of the Peruvian war when It was pilfered by one of a band of adventures. The thief. Sr. Briganza de la Corallo, who still is living, is a native of Andalucla, Spain, and during his youth he travelled with a gang of thugs who ir.fested the outskirts of Paris. When a price was put on his capture, he embarxed to Americ? in time to Join in the plunder bands that followed the wake of the Latin armies. Wtaile his companions devoted their efforts to acquiring treasures of gold and silver, Corallo gathered up art treasures which he subsequently pold at a great gain all except the skin-bound Bible. Following his escapaeles in South America, he came north and settled at Port ByTon, III., a Mississippi river town. There he lived the rigid life of a recluse for 21 years, his only confidant being the parish priest of Port Byron. Three years ago. Corallo, then SO years old, advertised for a wife, marrying a girl of 16 a few weeks after. The day after his wedding, the adventurer left for Madagorda Bay, Texas, where he owned an estate. Before leaving he presented the Bible to his friend. Fr. Stilton, who was induced to donate to th art museum of Notre Dame through the effort of Rev. Paul Folk, librarian.
