NEW YORK, N. Y, Apui 7 -— Percy Grainger, famous pan st who

‘iaiso is an cit-soldier and an adept

abce player, has just become a pro- IJSTOI‘ of music at New York Uni-

ivsrsity. And in his frst le:i.ure on

"Music Appreciation" he demon-

lL-iyratcd he is something of a phil-

03."pilCl‘ who unjrrstsnds that he is "i uiar insofar as my music ap- prcaches dance music and unpopu-t lar Insofar as 1 keep sway from that."

He clvldcd music into near little categories-the musc o! melody, uscful for dreaming and thinking, and the music of rhythm, which in-

ok‘ slaires action. The letter he called

"slave music" because:

"People who gain power seem to develop an insatiable desire to keep others at some task, and mus'c has been found to aid them. Sea chan- teys are in this group."

A5 for jazz, it is, after all, noth- ing but folk music, and—“I would prefer art music of the worst kind to folk music, Art music is free music—as free as nature. when music gets so we can express every thing we see in nature, then music will have become the perfect art."

Beach season gave its flplllflbflliml to candy stripes and now ti: is time iio follow through on them for Igummci‘. Conch! striped broadcloth featuring one color on white is sug- gcstcd as one of the first features iu cotton for early summer. Partic- uiariy is it recommended in the style is well suited to the fabric-Ate tailored simplicity allows the stripes tn be worked in different ways, in t the gored or pleated sections of the ‘skirt, in pockets or yoke!-

But candy striped broadcloth is not confined to the usual fabric version of the shirtwstst frock. 't‘here isone interpretation of it that gives the effect of s "wide pique and there are dresses in this ver- sion which adopt the guimpe theme, or the added jacket. They all ap-, pear in practical active sports mod- els that could well be promoted in

[groups of candy striped fashions.

CONTRACT BRIDGE

SYDNEY, April 8—COn‘l;1'hOt Bridge is gaining here. It is the wo- men who are responsible for this sudden elevation of the game to the rank of a major sport, commanding columns in the newspapers. They decided years ego that this is the one pastime at which they can beat men hollow. They see it in the tri- umph of feminine wits over mas- culine muscles. It: revenges them for ehundred defeats stiriered on fields where man's physical strength has given him an advantage which no intelligence can outweigh.

Most of the experts concede that women, if they play it seriously, are better bridge players than men, and that they take greater trouble to perfect themselves in the game. ‘And, with more leisure in subur- lban homes that: are empty while ithetr husbands are away in the fcity, they have learnt the newer

game. But; many of the husbands . have not the time-or the energy- i to forget the laboriously learnt rules ‘of Auction and replace them with the for more intricate campaign {plans of Contract.
