PADEREWSKI'S TEACHING i Described by Antoinette SzumWska in the Musical Record. My first meeting with Paderewski took place In Warsaw when he was asked by my father to give me some piano lessons. It was quite a long time ago I was then about 12 or. 13 years old and he was not yet "the great Paderewski." But our lessons, unfortunately, did not last long, owing, I regret to say, to my own fault. I imagined myself, with childish conceit, a superior pianist; and when Ptiderewski, after hearing Start Right.

To start right in life is half the battle won. No matter at what season of the year, no one can afford to start wrong in any undertaking. To the younger housekeepers, to the beginners in the art of bread and cake making, there is no agent that can render so much aid at the start, no assistant that will prove so helpful, as the Royal Baking Powder. Do not make a mistake by experimenting with any other. me play, criticised ine rather, severely and wanted to make me work seriously and fol low strictly his advice, I took an unrtyisona ble dislike to him, and began to show my ob jections ny never preparing ray icsmjus ana doing mostly the contrary of what he wanted me to do.

Finally, my teacher lost paliencc with me and recommended a friend of Jiis, a Polish pianist, to take his place. Fortunately for me Khis lass was not to be a final one, for Paderewski, having met my father in Paris, and hearing from him about my earpest desire of becoming a professional artist, gp.ve the advice of sending me to Paris for further ctudy. Thus I came to l'lve in Paris in the hobse. hands of a tasty dressmaker one smart frock is. very likely to be the result of using the! materials of the two old ones.

A strange commnation in a Paris model is that or biue cashmere and black cloth. An out of dato black taffeta is charmingly fashioned by the use of red velvet and new black Black silks are also combined with turquoise biue velvet with good results. The greatest contrasts in color are also sanctioned so that one is not surprised at a yoke of orange taffeta in a blue cloth waist or of paie blue with a brown cloth. Shaded taffetas are still liked for silk waists. Some of the prettiest are made with wide yoke collars cut in points and edged with ruffles of iace.

This of course is a very youthful style, resembling the waists children wear. Sleeves of fur are among the latest Paris fashions. Chinchilla is the fur most in evidence for revers and 'trimmings. This fur harmonizes nicely with the light cloth gowns which are considered so chic this winter, so in an exhibit one sees the violet cloth trimmed with chinchilla, the blue cloth and the gray cloth. Long tan and castor redingo'tes are made with immense revers of chinchilla.

Evening waists of muslin and lace to wear with striped silk skirts are also chinchilla trimmed. A princess robe of primrose colored velvet is slightly draped over to the left side where it closes all the way down by a band of chinchilla, while in Paris the favorite outside garment is of moire astrakhan, trimmed with chinchilla. Owing to such a demand chinchilla is scarce and corresponding ly dear. Chenille lace is another trimming accessory quite different from fur. but enjoying the same wholesale popularity.

Chenille lace is V. c.u.iiiic gowns, and it is also seen on cloth dresses. Embroidered apron fronts are conspicuous and of course when this is done by hand the cost is enormous. Net over dresses are wrought with chenille and paillettes. Sasfh ends are embroidered with the most elaborate fancies.

A beautiful stuff for sashes and apron fronts is a soft silk covered with chenille dots and finished with a fringe. Some of the daintiest of the evening bonnets are composed largely of cheniHe net. Chenille embroidered velvets make elegant odd waists. Crumpled velvet toques are coquettish. Large shell combs are the chief feature of many of the gay little theater bonnets, the teeth being hidden in the coiffure and holding the affair securely in place.

One model is 3ust a big butterfly bow of cerise velvet with Its loops forming the sides. Stiffened pointed ends give the necessary height and trimming. Lovely toques that need little decoration are made of puckered instead of shirred velvet. Braided patterns done in velvet ribbons are now a feature of many cashmere gowns. One extremely smart model in red has a wide border around the foot of skirt doDe in black velvet ribbon.

This is a new idea and a very effective one. Wide stock bands of iwrtrite mousseline de sole with huge bow knots ara worn around the throat recalling old portraits. Dark mixed wool gowns trimmed with velvet and fur are typical winter costumes for general wear. They are serviceable as well as smart. Some of the new cloth waists show no seams whatever, but seem to be drawn around the figure over a most carefully boned and fitted lining.

Short full wraps for the street not warm enough to be comfortable and blowing away from the figure with every gust are poor winter investments. A. Hi W. A TALK WITH ANDREE. The Aeronaut Recognized the Danger of His Undertaking.

Jonas Stadiing, who accompanied Andrea to Dane's Island and witnessed his departure toward the North Pole, contributes to tho November Century an article entitled "An dree's Flight Into the Unknown." This is accompanied by a number of interesting photographs, including several of the balioon after it had been cut loose and had begun iu; flight. Mr. Stadling saye: "The aeronauts were impatient to start this year. They had decided to wait for really favorable winds until the 17th of July. After that date they were prepared to start with a less favorable wind.

In my talks with them about the risks and dangers of their undertakings, they said at various times: "We have taken all Into account. We are prepared to face whatever what may happen." "Suppose the balloon should buret," 1 asked; "what then?" "We shall be drowned or crushed." "Suppose you alight on the pack Ice, far away in the desolate polar regione; what will you do?" "We shall do our beat, and work our way back as far as possible. Having during theso last yeara thought, worked, and calculated in preparing for this expedition, we have, so to speak, mentaliy lived through ali possibilities. Now we only desire to start, and have the thing finished some way or other." Whiie talking about home and the loved i ones their faces would assume a more serious expression, and a faint quiver of the voice might be noticed; but there was no wavering of purpose. "When may we begin to hope to hear from you?" I asked.

i I I I TEOUBLE WITH BLOUSES. THESE GARMENTS DIFFICULT TO GET READY MADE. They Must Have a Fit of Their Own. Points Which Dressmakers Are Now Enforcing High Corsages on Handsome Dinner Gowns. i The.

most difficult garment to buy ready i made is the blouse. In the large shops blouses of every material are sold at astonishingly low prices, but these are far from being the bar gains they at first seem. A blouse must fit in its own way, which is really one of great nicety, and unless the long lines are built according to the particular figure for which it is intended, instead of being the graceful, easy waist it is meant to be it becomes a thick, ugly looking corsage. In the smart blouse broad shoulder effects offset slim waists. To many the blouse is more becoming without anv full ness in the back, but it must blouse somewhat (E.

Fux, I'aris.) in front or the belt gives a very square look. No two women need exactly the same style of blouse, either as to fullness, broad should.er effects or stock, hence the blouse is a bad garment to buy ready made. The dressmaker's skill just at present is being expended on a waist which shall be easy and graceful and yet differ from the real blouse, of which people already are somewhat tired. Tho new waist is not very baggy and the sleeves are plainer than they have been. The vest, with jahoted revers is fast becoming a special feature of handsome new costumes.

For young women the round waist with a real or simulated yoke is still a most charming style. In late day cloth gowns yokes and sleeves are of velvet. Surplice fronts are apt to be quite generally becoming and lately this style seems to gain in favor. A winter wool in blue and black has the skirt bordered with a band of fur. The corsage is made with a surplice front, one half being of black silk.

The other half rolls over the silk portion with a single large rever, which is edged with fur. In the new surplice there is little fullness and the plaits are carried over into the side seam. A remarkably pretty dinner corsage has a narrow yoke of rich lace with the surplice fronts and yoke opening over a full plastron of mousseline de soie. inis waist can worn witnout the plastron, making a modest necked gown for occasions when decollete would be out of place. High waists are now the rule in fashionable circles for smali dinners and concerts.

An Indication That Fashion Will Soon Return to the Fully Draped Skirt.

Light Materials Called For Russian Blouses Will Remain, With Some Slight Changes. Paris, December 22 Paris looks like a pretty woman out of humor. Overhead great masses of rain clouds chase each other ou a leaden sky, and the rain dashes against the windows and patters heavily on the asphalt pavements of the boulevards. Chilly blasts sweep around the corners and the wind moans In the leafless tree tops of the deserted Bois. It is not in the nature of the gray, laughter loving Parisienne to submit to weather inclemencies and wait patiently for spring sunshine and flowers, so, like a bird of passage, she flies to balmier climes and turns a longing face to her favorite haunt, that condensed Paris, the pearl of the Mediterranean, the Riviera, where all is life and warmth and color and gayety and winter is forgotten.

There also the forerunners of spring fashions deport themselves, and the interested observer has every chance to mark the changes and novelties of the prevailing styles. The skirt, which has undergone auite a change since last year, is no longer made "with the material and lining cut in one and attached, but while the silk lining is tight and narrow the outside material is allowed to hang in loose and graceful folds. Tbi3 will he the law for all light spring and sum mer costumes, and proves that we are advancing rapidly toward the draped skirt, and calls for all good3 of light and pliable texture, as cashmere, nun's vailings, challies and surafhs, foulards and laces all tested favorites of last year, new only in designs and combinations. Our model is consistent with all most ap proved novelties of the coming season, and Is being worn on the Riviera by a Russian aristocrat hose blonde beauty is the cynosure of all admiring eyes, as it fcas been In Parisian society this winter. The material of this model gown is a very line nun's vailing, of a light heliotrope color, over a lining of silk of the same delicate shade.

The skirt is plain but for the shir rings which decorate the top, and are cry flattering to slender figures. The silk slrr: lining Is tight und tr.e over drapery of nun's vailing hangs loosely. The pla'ln tight b.nl Ice of heliotrope silk is pointed in front and tiack, and is very gracefully draped with tOIrred nun's vailing. The folds thus formed are divided by rows of narrow velvet ribbon several shades darker than the vailing, and each row of ribbon ends with a small stnass buckle at tbo polmed yoke of jetted block lace. A large strass buckle also gathers all the lower ends of ribbon at the front of the waist.

The tight s'ilk sleeve is covered witb shirred heliotrope nun's vailing and is capped at the shoulder by an arrangement of heliotrope velvet of the eame shade as the ribbon. Folded heliotrope vail'ing aiso forms Ibe standing collar, which finishes In a neck ruche at the back. The bodice is quite tight at the back, the wrinkled vailing being put on without rTbbon decoration ba low the yoke, and the lower point is covered With a long wide sash vet lined with silk. dark beliotrope vel Of course this gown win admit of various combinations, as black and white, or gray In two shades, or bluet with yoke and velvet trimmings of one of the many fashionable Bhades of red or yellow. Other prevalent colors for the spring are argent (gray) anteuil (heliotrope), castor Russe (blue), Ophelia (purple), pourp.

(red), royal (dark blue), Capucino and Vesuve (extreme shades of gold). Black and white is a combination again much in vogue. The Russian blouse effects will be retained In the coming season, but the fullness will be confined to the front only, while the back will be smoothly gathered and belted in. Wfaen a woman discovers a garment which Invariably lends grace and youthfulness to the figure she is loaxh to discard it. That is the secret of the Bolero's longevity.

Many new costumes show this little Jacket in preference to the Russian blouse, which looks on a favored 'few, but is unbecoming to most. A very dressy costume is of black satin. The skirt is very narrow and tight and well pulled over the hips. Five rows of wide, overlapping tucks of satin decorate tbe hem, nd above these racks is placed a wide baud of white velvet richly embroidered with jet tad gold heads and sequins. The blouse bodice of black satin is loose ind full in front and has a border of white Velvet embroidered like the band on the BMrt.

This bolero is Quite long the book and rounded in front, ending in two points Which meet over the chest and are connected by a large rosette of black velvet, with a tenter mado of a button se: with diamonds. Itje bolero is cut round at tbo neck, forming yoke of the fulled black satin of the blouse ind is edged with a tiny ruche of black aious teline de sole. The sleeves consist entirely of wide overlapping tucks of black satin ou a tight lining, the tucks becoming looser at the top as to form a slight fullness at the upper tnis and shoulders. The black satin stand 1 collar Is headed by a black mousseline "ruche. With this costume is worn a little toque ef whlce velvet embroidered wild jet and Bequlns, and surrounded by a full ruche of black mouesellne de sole.

Three black plumes stand high on one side and are fastened tvlth a diamond agraffe. B. PELilX, Paris. Movl nr. lel I Vlonro nihil nil kin .1 t.

Mistakes Which Are Especially Easy This Season Plain Papers Form the Best Backgrounds Simplicity in Portieres and Picture Frames Desirable. Every room has its possibilities, even the conventional shaped rooms of the ordinary city house, provided the owners will live up to what they have and cease being merely imitative Let liomeinakers use some systematic forethought in the purchase of new furnishings.

Buy the best thing to be found to take the place of the worst. The best need not necessarily be the most expensive, as beauty in the homo depends upon consistency and harmonious relations. Remember wtiat Horace has to say about the purple yatch. Purple patches are numerous in city homos, and they cost a great deal usually. It costs no more to have a beautiful bome than an ugly one, in fact, some of the ugliest homes ara those where wealth abounds.

It Is easy to make mistakes. There are many who are forced to acknowledge this, though tbey deemed themselves competent to judge. Mistakes have been easy this season with the supply of big patterned, showy papers at band and the hodge podge schemes of furnishings shown in the shops. A woman sees a display cozy corner with its oriental fittings, admires it and orders one for her conventional back parlor. This is one purple patch.

If possible it is well to discard wall papers entirely in smarting out to make a beautiful home, but if painted walls are too expensive then be careful to choosu plain cartridge papers or quiet two toned ones, remembering these make the best back JBTTBD FRENCH WRAP. grounds for pictures. If showy papers are selected with great masses of flaming reds or deep greens and large all over devices then tion't attempt to h. tng any pictures. Pack away your line etchings and loved photographs and be satisfied with the staring blotches which cover tho walls.

It is easy again to sin in the matter of draperies. Word comes from Paris that hangings after the period of Louis XVIII are the rage tliere. Tbis means what? Not falling door portieres and silken folds at window, but yards and yards of fringed and embroidered fabrics, looped, gathered and puckered, and suspended over windows, doors, beds, mantels and dressing tables in successive folds. soon as tho news reaches us there are at once imitators, who will not be tiappy until their own homes are so treated, regardless of the fact that sin draperies art" the most unsanitary possible.

XetnYort Montreal. up to the? ideos of simplicity in framing and they demand tho old style gold setting, with conspicuous designs," said a Fulton, street dealer, who pointed to a narrow frame in white and yellow 'in imitation of thoee designed by Whistler, as a good example of tbo mo dem idea. Artists themselves are not above planning suitable frames for their pictures and their ideas soon spread. Plain woods are the rule for etchings, pho tograrfss and cnKi av'iiig. In one Fifth avenue art store the matter of framing the ley prints seems to have reedived particular consideration.

Shaded ma'ts have been a feature of their exhibits in tones harmonizing with the print, 'in gray greens and gray browns. A flat gilded band is. In good taste for even paintings and for this purpose tiny wood with a good grain i chosen, oak and chestnut being the common varieties. Oak stained green with or without a beaded rim of gold is used for platlnotypes. Sombre backgrounds are not now supposed to need gay settings, but those in harmony with tho sumo: hence, one frequently finds in an exhibit, dead black frame.

The picture must dctcrmino tho framo now as always, but somehow a hotter judgment seems to prevail as to precisely what this shall bo. Plain narrow strips of dark oak aro very suitable for library subjects. The passepartout style of framing is sometimes deemed best, when the picture is framed by a strip of (iardboard without any regular frame border. Photographs or engravings of authors, statesmen and interiors arc often framed without any white ma' showing at all. tho flat band of wood being place close up to tho picture.

I believe that Paderewski is as unique a teacher as' he is a pianist. He is at the same time the most exacting and the kindest, the most patient of teachers: he has the power of persuasion that makes you at once firmly convinced that what he says must be the right thing. He is apt to criticise severely, but he does not spare warm encouragement, thus filling tho student with the strongest enthusiasm for the work and advancement in art. As to his particular methods he lays great stress on producing a beautiful, large, singing tone from the piano by pressing the keys to the very bottom, and on getting a perfect legato. He gives special exercises for obtaining tbat effect, and makes one play scales, both ordinary and chromatic, very slowly and very legato, lifting uhe fingers as little as possible, and also accentuating each third or fourth note in order to get a perfect evenness.

He advises to play as daily studies the etudes of the "Schule der Fingerfertigkeif of Czerny. especially the three first studies, which ought to be played every day, slowly and with a large tone. In his tboice of pieces to bo played he observes a great variety, not cfnfining himself to a special composer or a special sebool of composers; at least he did so with me, thinking, prohably, that as I was to hecome a concert pianist, I should need varied repertory. Generally while I played for him he was! nlfhf eiifr mo I Wttttti; stopping me very frequently, makiug some1 remark or playing himself the phrase he uanteu to correct, anu making me repeat it Vv" 'tr UKVn unt" 1 understood per it awti. uu.
