Tfet there Is another type of woman,

MARTINI PAYS TRIBUTE
TO ITALIAN SOLDIERS
Well-Known Composer Writes
and Plays Forceful Patriotic
Musical Poem
By ADALBERTO CAPORALE
A battle, not of Skodas and "42s," but
of sounds and Instruments, was fought
last night at Musical Fund Hall, when
the national anthem of Italy and that of
Austria clashed in n forceful new musical
poem composed by Maestro Ettore Mar
tini. Performed by his orchestral organl
7ation, the new opus roused the large
Italian audience to tho highest pitch ot
enthusiasm witnessed In this city since
Italy went to war against her traditional
enemy,
"Redcnzlone," a Poemetto Patrlo, as
the composer stles It, Is meant to give
muslcul expression to the sentiments
which now fill the soul of every Italian.
It Is based entliely on three national
hjmns, one of which, at least, has never
been considered to possess musical beau
ty. And vet 'not a theme, not one Idea
nr development of Ideas and theme;
bears the mark of vulgarity In a piece
In which it would be so easy to slip Into
cheap melody and Indulge in It. Dignity,
and at the same time life, -strenuous and
stirring as the life of a violent combat
should appear to the mind ot the com
poserthese are the chief features of the
short but Intense musical homage of
Maestro Martini to the ' little bravo sol
diers" fighting for the redemption of the
"unredeemed."
Thieo Ideas fill the whole musical poem:
The Italian Royal March, the Garibaldi
Hymn and tho Austrian Hymn. The
strings, the brasses, the wood Instru
ments sound from time to time their
stirring notes, and the rival national
anthems pursue each other, now In an
enthusiastic mood, now In a violent clash
of pounds, which gives the Imrreaslon of
a battle, confused and noisy, yet retains
tho melodic themes which are never lost
sight of In the whole orchestral develop
ment of the poem And In this clash of
sound. In which tho three anthems are
fused in n vigorous Instrumentation, In
the oft-recurring roar of tho big guns,
the Austrian Hvmn Is submerged, Is ex
tinguished, as If silenced by the death
dealing blow of an attack by tho "little
holdlers of Italy."
The poem Is an Impressionistic musical
work, short, but fully conveying the Idea
the composer wanted to express with the
orchestra, and what probably counts
more effectively convevlng this Idea to
the ears and souls of those who listened
to the. performance. Evidently this Is
the measure of success, for, when the
third arid last part of the poem, a Te
Deum on the battlefield, amid the deadly
calm following tho hurricane of shells
and tho cries of victory, closed the num
ber, those who filled to Its utmost capac
ity the large hall Jumped to their feet
and applauded again and again, their
henrta near those who fight and dlo for
their country.
The music of the poem, based on a
very few and well known, If not entirely
beautiful, themes, appealed to those who
listened, not as the execution of one or
both of the Italian hymns would If
played separately and as they are, but
as a new and dlgnlfjlng musical talk,
forceful, setting forth an old thought,
an old hope In a novel and beautiful
way, with phrases which were, to be
sure, In the soul of every Italian, but
had not found form and expression.
Martini's patriotic musical poem will
ba sent to King Victor Emanuel through
the Ambassador at Washington.

OH, JOY! HERE THEY ARE
AT ONLY $100 THE PAIR
There Are Gloves and Gloves,
You Know, but These Well,
Just Have a Look
Maybe jou've got a IMO cxenlng gown
and maybe the thought of having to wear
your 13 53 gloves ltn such an elaborate
confection has been slow poison to your
feminine vanity. Cheer up! Salvation Is
at hand. You can get a pair of gloves
"as Is" gloves which even tho most sclf
rcspectlng gown need not be ashamed to
be seen In public with.
But tbev cost a hundred dollars. That'o
the rub where the majority of women
are concerned, nut even If the average
woman hasn't the hundred with which
to grace her hands and aims, at least
she can feast her eyes upon them and
they aic truly a sight worth seeing.
The first of these plutocratic gloves to
make their appeal ance In Philadelphia
were brought here by Ccntcmcrl's. 1223
Chestnut street, and so Intense has been
the curiosity exh'blted by the shop's pa
trons that tho first pair has been supple
mented by a second pair.
In order to cost a hundred dollars, a
pair of gloves must t. of the finest l.ld
with an amazing amount of Intricate em
broidery running from the knuckles to
the shoulders, for hundred-dollar gloves
are E0 Inches long and are designed to
meet the requirements of tho sleeveless
evening gown.
Over In Grenoble, France, Is where they
make them, and If you want a pair lou
must order a whole month ahead of time,
for It takes an expert needlewoman work
ing 8 hours a day exactly 30 daa In which
to embroider a pair.
A wonderful design of airy peacock
feathers, showing all the Iridescent colors
of a peacock's most brilliant plumage, is
embroidered on the first pair and the
artistic woman Immediately pictures the
artistic effect they would produce com
bined with a gown of peacock blue.
The second pair Is done In chrysanthe
mums. Thin leaves In delicate shades of
green simulate the stitching and end In
a tiny bud at the wrist. Flowers, In
creasing in size, are embrolderedwell up
to the shoulder with a blending of color
that Is truly remarkable, and with a skill
all the more noteworthy because of the
elasticity of kid.
' These ore but two patterns," Bald the
clerk who displaced them. "They may be
ordered to suit the fancy of the purchaser.
I've thought that n pair of bjock ones
done with orchids would be unsurpassable,
and some good effects might be obtained,
too, by working In rhlnestoncs or beads "
While there Isn't exactly a rush for
these gloves, still they have evoked so
much admiration that It Is expected they
will be sold. And who knows but that
tho day may come when in addition to
storing away our diamonds and pearls
from the wily second-story men, the time
may come when we'll have to reserve a
place In the safety deposit box for our
long kid gloves-the $100 kind.

From the promises that have been
pouring Into the offices of the Equal

yellowish appearance. It will be a com
mon sight to see almost every house In
a block bedecked with the suffrage coiors
and suffrage propaganda. The decorations
will not be confined to banners. Posters
notices, signs and other reading matter
will also be used to win converts to the
"cause" before the all-Important election.

my girls, I make It as hard as poa!U
to convict them. And I don't think thesi
always to blame. J
"Yes, that hunt-for-the-woman Idea tal
.. ..H..V. .. .too. num. or me maa.-s
an embezzlement case, we look on 72A
the woman and then It's an easy matter
to find the man. I guess these am eat?

"But then each case Is a different nmtui
1cm. All I want Is the truth, and that'si
why I object to unlicensed men and younc
girls going out ns operatives. Every per-j
nun uutiiH iu nuin in an oiuce under sJ
licensed detective before he or she Is J.
lowed to practice alone. I worked xAv
years ueiuro ji iook out my license j
and I've been working 18 since. And!
then I see the mere girls eome on
the lawyers use to get evidence in divorces
cases. It Isn't right. And It's not goo4 1
for the girl clter. They haven't the sen'i
to know when some one tells them a story i
whether It's tho truth or not. To spot th i
truth Is n gift. That's why a detective Ui
bonded; If he or she uses a fake report, j
ho or she can be sued. I want the detec
tive ousiness punnca; we do good wort,i
and I wnnt people to respect us. And H
say make them all work five years beforaS
incy gei a license.
-xnatyi my son in tne next room; I'vs'
had four and they were brought up u :
v,el as the children of any woman whoi
had a man to help her. I had a woman to!
do the washing and the Ironing. That!
took only two days a week, and the bak.i
lng was done on Saturday, and I guess nyl
children are as good ns any.
"I don't exactly object to the vote forj
women, but Just you get the politicians 1
to purify the detective business and IIP
do sausnea.
