Entertaining Letter From, PhoenixviliQ Correspondent,
Who Sets Forth Her Ideas of the Features a

The writer of the following letter,

awarded honorable Mention In the com
petition held for readers of the lVom

You ask what a Woman'ii rago Fhould
bo? Why, hlcRS jour heart,, It should be a
page of the women, by the women and for
tho women (hejcglnB your pardon, sir, for
the paraphrase) Uy this token, then, tho
editor should bo of tho female persuasion.
Olie the masculine brain afl duo credit
and there's a-plenty coming his way there
neer yet was a man who could fully un
derstand tho fads and fancies, the frills
and foibles of the feminine factionl There
fore, please, a "Indy-edltor" for tho Ideal
Woman's Page.
And tho features It should contain? Ah,
me! they must be as many and as ftrlcd
as the dlers types of womankind Into
nhose eager hands the paper falls.
New recipes and household wrinkles for
the busy "hausfrau," current events for
the little Btay-at-home-bbdy, patterns for
the cleer reidlewoman, hints nnd helps
for the untutored mother of a brand new
baby. Oh, cs! and a bit of a joke for
the tired business woman (God. bless her
weary brain!), hygienic lessons for the care
less or Ignorant and Just a dash of fashion
news for cery woman.
Happily, in but few of these respects 1b

Yet frankness Impels us to drop a hint
or two in response to Its imitation foricom

Married Life"? Perforce no woman will
take another woman's word anent that bliss,

under whom she will deign to study such

HIGH COST OF SEEDS
WILL RESTRICT CROPS
Prices Are Almost Prohibitive,
Truck Farmers of Mary
land Declare
SALISBURY, Md. March 1. The high
cost of living and the scarcltv of seeds, com
bined with their high price throughout this
Btate, make It necessary that much energy
and capital be expended to make this sea
aonV produce crop equal to those of former
yeais
Mlcomlco County Is a trucking county
and unquestionably leads the State In email
fruits, such as strawberries, raspberries,
blackberries, cantaloupes and watermelons,
with a big crop of white potatoes which has
been Increased In acreage each 5 ear
Farmers and truckers, In view of great
scarcltv and high prices for white pota
toes, swuet potatoes, onions, peas and lima
beans, will plant these egetable In addi
tion to the berries and melons usually
grown
The white potatoes will be planted,
especially 'northern grown" white potatoes,
although prices for seed aro almost pro
hibitive, the market price being $11 peT
bushel, with but little stock offered at even
tftat figure. English peas ror planting are
telling for $8 per bushel Onion sets, $7 a
Imshel. In fact, everything In the way of
eeds Is advancing over former jears from
100 to 200 per cent.
It Is said by many farmers that there Is
bound to bo a short crop In all vegetables
and produce throughout the county, which
will be caused by high price demanded for
seeds, coupled with the fact that the usual
amount cannot be obtained. Some Bay that
seed potatoes will reach SIC a bushel before
planting time, which will make seed pota
toes at that price cost about $1.40 per peck.
County Agricultural Agent W. C. Vail is
encouraging the farmers and truckers to
plant every available aero possible, but tho

HOME COMPOSERS HEARD
Manuscript Music Society Gives Choral
Concert, Mendelssohn Club Aiding
The most Important offering of Phila
delphia composers to music during recent
seasons was the choral concert given last
evening at Griffith Hall by the members
of the Manuscript Music Society, aided by
the Mendelssohn Club, under its new dU
rector, N. Lindsay Norden; the Fort
nightly Club, under Henry Gordon Thun
der: the Ladles' Chorus of the New Cen
tury Club, under Martha Barry, and the
Oxford Presbyterian Choir, under Clarence
K. Bawden. The program comprised "The
New Day," a cantata by Camllle W.
Zeckwer, which won a prize in Cleveland
a jear ago; "The Slmorgh," a cantata for
male voices by H. G. Thunder, and a num
ber of glees and part songs by the late
W. W. Gilchrist, Mus. Doc. and founder of
the Mendelssohn Club ; Nicholas Douty, one
of the greatest of Bach Interpreters :
Philip W. Goepp, program annotator of
the Philadelphia Orchestra and author of
the three standard volumes on the history
and meaning of symphonies', and Camllle
Zeckwer, probably the most prolific and
varied of local composers
The first group on the program con
sisted of four part songs for mixed voices,
"When Love Is Kind," by Camllle W.
Zeckwer J "Winter," by Nicholas Douty;
"It Was a Lover," by Philip H. Goepp, and
"If Doughty Deeds My Lady Please," by
II. Alexander Matthews.
Another group consisted of part songs
for women's voices, 'The Belle" and "The
Fountain," by the late Doctor Gilchrist,
and "Gypsy Life" and "The Fairy Queen,"
by Philip II. Goepp.
An audience malnjy composed of mu
sicians filled tho hall to overflowing and
gave public applause and private appre
c'atlve comment for the merit of the pro
ceedings. The entire program reached a
high level of technical efficiency, and some
of the numbers were touched with Inspi
ration. Mr. Zeckvver's cantata showed
melodic Inventiveness of appropriate order
to the text. Doctor Thunder's interesting
work vaa fully reviewed on Its premier
here this season by one of tho male sing
ing organizations.

HEMPEL GIVES RECITAL
FOR EXTENSION SOCIETY
German Soprano of Metropolitan Opera
Company Sings at Academy of Music
Perhaps It was Frieda Hempel's undying
devotion to the "Fatherland" that prompted
her to omit the most favored Italian arias
from her recital program at the Academy
of Music last night. Or, perhaps, sho has
forsaken the selections which have, stood her
In good stead In the past. But whatever
the reason, the fact remains thst the Uni
versity Extension audience had to and was
content with only the "Casta diva" from
Bellini's "Norma." However, Miss Hempel
more than atoned for this slight to Verdi
and Donizetti by singing "The Nightin
gale'," an exquisite lrlc by Alabieff, which,
with Hugo Wolfs 'The Mousetrap," was
the redeeming feature of a none too bril
liant recital. .
Frieda Hempel can sing better has sung
better than at her last two appearances In
this city. To "be Bure. she gave a much
finer nccount of herself last night than Bhe
did at tho performance of "Martha" at
the Metropolitan Opera House earlier In
the season, but there was still enough lack
ing to make one wonder as to tho trouble
Curiously enough It was In the coloratura
passages that she failed to satisfy tho most.
The Frieda Hempel who came to this coun
try only a few seasons ago as Germany's
finest coloratura soprano nnd who was
'hailed In this country as Tetrazzlnl's suc
cessor has somehow fallen short of her
best. At that time one did not expect the
prima donna to sing lleder and ballades; It
was enough that she thrill with her Aocal
pyrotechnics.
But last night It was her ballades that
carried whatever conviction there was.
From the ast field of songs she unfortu
nately chose many which Schumann-IIelnk
and Homer had already given us, and com
parisons were inevitable. The remainder of
the program contained pure lleder, which is
not her forte, or coloratura, In which she
was not at her best. Miss Hempel's voice
at times took on a" sudden frail character,
a lack of brilliancy or resonance which
was so noticeable In "Martha" and which
was so absent In seasons past-
However, at other times her Voice was so
clear and limpid and fresh that It was
all joy to listen to her. The artist gave
of her best and her worst last night. Miss
Hempel's best Is Becond .to none, and her
worst does npt pla.ee her below tho level
of mediocrity. So? after all, JU was not a
poor recital. But the contrast during the
evening nnd the remembrance of. previous,
recitals made one wish all the .moro slh
cerely that It had been one oj; Frieda" Hem

nt him for questioning my ability to make
hats, but I controlled my temper and nn
swered that ho might have to make his
promise "good" much sdbnef than ho ex
pected. Again he laughed, and I went home
determined to show him that I knew a thing
or two about millinery.
Since the smartest sport hats are largo
I chose two shapes of Japanese straw with
rather wide brims. They are of a soft,
pliable straw somewhat like Panama, and
one Is whlto whllo tho other Is naturnl.
The first of the hats I had sketched had
a llotnan striped crown made of rows of
grof grain ribbon In shades of rose, dark
blue and green 1 changed the color com
bination to soft tones of Nattier blue, violet
and old gold.
Tho ribbon had to be gathered slightly
at the uppjr edgo nnd sewed to the straw
as flat as possible. Each band overlaps tho
other a trifle to hide the gatheilng string.
A small wheel of old gold ribbon rormea
the very top of the crown, nnd from ita
center I hung a purple and gold tassel,
finished nt the top with a button mold
covered with purple.
About the very base of the crown I drew
a band of purple ribbon and tied tho ends
In a small, Hat bow In front I lined tho
crown with Nattier blue china silk, anu
one hat was ready to bear witness ns to
my hat-mnking ability.
Tho whlto hat has n brim that Is much
wider nt the sides than In tho front or
back This gives It a poke bonnet effect
that Is In Itself pleasing and very becoming
to me. Since my new sport suit Is tan and
green I decided to trim tho hat with green
ribbon of the same shade.
I covered the crown entirely with strips
of green falllo ribbon an Inch and a quarter
wide. Each strip stnrts at tho base of the
crown, passes over the top and down the
opposite side until not tho slightest bit of
straw la to bo seen. The ribbon must be
stitched absolutely flat and smooth to make
the trimming effective. ,
Tho base of the crown Is finished with a
band of ribbon tied In a butterfly bow In
the center front, Then I faced tho crown
with green pongee, which is a perfect match
to the ribbon, finishing tho edgo with a
narrow cording. The lining of tho crown Is
white china silk.
Both hats nro even better looking than
I thought they would be, so tomorrow Ted
Farwell will be Invited up to turn over his
week's salary to tho Children's Fresh Air
