' Oriental Richness, Barbaric Splendor Mark the New Styles Importations from Many Lands Are Being Exhibited at Hayden's This Week. Gorgeous and elaborate are the robes and dress trimmings on display on the third floor of Hayden Bros.' dry good store this week. They are of every Imaginable color and design; some of them rival Imagination. Some are of an oriental rich ness which would have delighted Uhe eyes of the queens of ancient Egypt and Assy ria; some are dainty enough to please the most delicate of modern tastes; the bar barlo vividness of others would attract the attention of a redskin Indian. These trimmings were Imported from Switzerland, France, Ireland and Belgium, and were selected In New Tork City by Mr. "Pat" Johnson, who for twenty-one years has bought laces for Haydens', and who is Just as much at home with dress trimmings as most people are with their A, B, Cs. The trimmings and robes will be odt for public Inspection Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday of this week. The whole trend in trimmings Is toward bands, which range from three inches to thirty Inches in width and from 13 to 130 a yard in price. In both the band trim, mlngi and the decorations of the gowns, which go from 30 beyond $300, the promi nent note is gorgeousness in color and elaborateness of design. There are dainty pinks and whites and lavenders; rich purples, blues and browas; brilliant yellows, greens and reds. In grace ful leaf and flower designs or bold conven tlonal patterns. These designs are worked out in beads and embroidery. The beads are of glass, wax and wood. There are beads of all colors and iridescent beads, which have every color In one. There are beads of gold, silver, copper, eteel, crystal, opal. The embroidery tones, with the beads and Is in silk, chenille and the once old-fashioned but now new-fashioned zephyr. In contrast with the gorgeous trimmings are the black and white laces the Irish crochet, Alencon, Bruges, Venice, Milan and duchess, which have a comparatively simple effect. But the eye goes back to the colorful trimmings, especially to the robes. There are both made robes and those with skirt, bodice and sleeves, beaded and embroidered, all ready but the putting together. The made robes have high waist and snug skirt, low neck and Just the merest suggestion of a sleeve. The groundwork for the decoration is net, chiffon or gold, silk or sliver mesh. On the more elaborate gowns the bead and embroidery design covers the bodice and Is heavy at the bor der of the skirt growing more scattered toward the waist. On the simpler, robes the design Is in a deep band around the edge of the skirt and In narrower bands around neck and sleeves. There are all sorts of dress accessories on display. There are "cordeliers" which In common, every day United States, means cords which girdle the waist line and hang down and end In tassels at the side of the gown. There are cunning Uttls Dag. beaded and embroidered, which hang at the side of the gown and are to hold the "moucholr." In other words, the hand kerchief. There are also scarfs of many Kinas. -TV. i . . .4 " uiars, Dertr.aa, and even yokes, carried out In the same elaborate colors and designs as the robes and dress trimmings. HKRR Is rak'.ng of leaves, there Is curling of smoke, there H a change in the face of the sky from blue to grey, as this Is being written, and perhaps when Is Is read the summer will have returned and the nip of cold which cam? last week will have changed to warnuh and brightness. And the autumn will soon be upon us with all Its glory. One crnnot but think of the beautiful words of William Herbert Carruth: A haze on the far horizon, The Infinite tender sky. The ripe, rich tint of the cornfields. And the wild geese, sailing; high, And all over upland and lowland The charm of the goldenrod; Some of us call It Autumn, And others call It God! The green garments of nature have been dry cleaned and they are being put away by the thrifty winds. Tones nf orange and gold, of russet and scarlet, of wonder ful browns and unpalntable yellows will be the colors for the short autumn season, and then the winter, with Its winds and frost, which do not bite, however sharp they may be, as bitetli man's Ingratitude. But to change the' subject, the season of the "fall openings" Is upon us, and we feel that the summer Is almost past. Musicians are back from the lakes, and the mountains, and the ocean, and the country, and the fishing places which he adjacent. Some of the fishers also lie adjacent, and even worse, and they are back with their fish stories land thotr scales ready for musical practice. Some have come from the delights of motor boating, and they go along the streets of the city with much complexion of tho ruddy bronze type, and as they go you can hear them whisper puk-a-puk-lap-puk-a-puk-ka-puk unconsciously dream ing of Minnie, tho lovely Mlnne-tonka. Others have come from the pursuits of farming and superintending their vast in terests In other states. It is positively wicked the way some musicians are grow ing rich. Then others have been Indulging In the more poetic type of farming, the cultivation of the flower gardens. Bou quets and beautiful flowers have reached the summer sanctum of th musical editor, and he has rejoiced In the blooms which responded to the faithful care and con stant attention of those who loved flowers as well as music. Golf has claimed the time of some, and the editor of this column himself has been approaching the "wee white sphere" with Humble and contrite heart and with much kindness of expression. Postals have come from as far away as Bayreuth and California and from as near as Okobojl and Minnehaha falls. Some have stayed here and borne ,the burden and heat of the July and August days in a downt-town studio, and watched with interest the errors, base hits and general batting form of the local base ball team. And now the season ' Is upon us. Busy managers are sending forth their persistent appeals and communications in connection with engagements with the rapidity of the hurrying swirl of autumn leaves; com munlcattons about the wonderful gifts ot this and that singer or player, communica tions about the graces and genius of Mr, Never-heard-of-hlm, . and Madame Who-ls-she? with glowing notices of future tri umphs (observe, "future"), she la destined to be the greatest, etc.. etc., and he Is sure to astonish the American public. Incidentally let us look at one: in case some reader of this column might be thinking of doing some advertising in con nection with concert or recital, this one case might lend an Inspiration or example; at any rate it is unique and classic: it is contained in a manager's letter desiring an engagement for his artist The artist will be unnamed In this column, and so will the manager, for the Impersonality of the paragraph will be sure to make the lan guage more pointed: The unsurpassable finesse of his sing lng: the overwhelming richness and mar velous sonority of his magnificent voice its flawless purity and sensuous beauty blended with delicate grandeur place him on the high pedestal of the absolute artist A consummate musician, a poet of fas cinatlng delicacy and of original, captivat lng power of interpretation ot Intense dramatic temperamnt surprises, thrlls, enthralls the most critical audience." Now If there Is anything to be added to this list of stupendous stunts It passes the writer's comprehension. There is noth ing to equal the magnificence of such a peerless paragon except perhaps, the shrinking modesty of his manager. W. A.

Mozart and Beethoven will be sure to In terest lovers of Beethoven and of Mozart, and they ure to be found In the "Journal," that posthumous work of the fascinating 8wiss poet and essayist, Henri Frederio Amiel. This Is from the translation by Mrs. Humphrey Ward of "Amiel's Jour nal" : "Many 14, 1S53. Third quartet concert. It was short. Variations for piano and violin by Beethoven, and two quartets, not more. The quartets were perfectly clear and easy to understand. One was by Mozart and the other by Beethoven, so that I could compare the two masters. Their individu ality termed to become plain to me: Mo zartgrace, liberty, certainty, freedom, and precision of style, and exquisite and aristo cratic beauty, serenity of soul, the health and talent of the master, both on a level with his genius; Beethoven more pathetic, more passionate, more torn with feeling, more Intricate, more profound, less per fect, more the slave of his genius, more carried away by his fancy on his passion. more moving, and more sublime than Mo zart. Mozart refreshes you, like the Dia logues of Plato;" he respects you, reveals to you your strength, gives you freedom and balance. Beethoven seizes upon you; he Is more tragic and oratorical, while Mozart Is morer disinterested and poetical. Mozart is more Greek, and Beethoven more Christian. One Is serene, the other serious. The first Is stronger than destiny, because he takes life less profoundly; the second is less strong, because he has dared to measure himself against deeper sorrows. His talent is not always equal to his gen ius, and pathos Is his dominant feature, as perfection Is that of Mozart. On Mozart the balance of the whole perfect, and art triumphs; in Beethoven feeling governs everything, and emotion troubles his art In proportion as It deepens it." This reads like a wonderful pen Impres sion of the difference between the two great masters. A good bit of advice to beginners In musical study, in whatsoever branch would be. "Don't try to arrive before you start." And incidentally beware of the teacher. who will guarantee to take you the short cut by airship, as that species of locomo tion Is at present too hazardous, and you had better stick to the old highway road that has been trodden by the feet of all thoBe who have really arrived. 0) "Who works for glory, misses oft the goal, Who works for money, coins his very soul; Work for the work's take then, and It may be That these things 'shall be added' unto thee." THOMAS J. KELLY. Diamonds That Make the Man The chances are ten to one that ho who is content to have clothes that are niatle and worn simply with tho idea that they arc "pood enough" is lacking in ambition in society or business, or in anything, for that matter. Such a person belongs to "the Don't Care Colony," and is on the waiting list always. This same person is also content to wear dia monds that arc inferior in quality; that look all right to tho untutored, but that aro far from possessing .the rich lustre and true worth of the really good stones. You have noticed the man with this kind of diamonds. Then, also, you have seen the man with the nuro stones those seintillatinsr white or blu ; cems. lie is the man who cares. He is thor- ,y.yiv ough in dress, thorougb iu business, thorough. ..... .1 i in society, thorough m everything. K-' It is this latter typo who tome to the Edholnvlrt 'V5S, Btore for their diamonds. Here they get tnose stones VV "that make the man." They are unsurpassed In their beauty, their brilliancy, their lustre and their true worth. The man who rares knows he will find hero the very stones he is seeking, the best diamonds and they are priced as low as any of the same quality anywhere in the world. Theso stones stand compari son with all others. The possessor of an Edholnv diamond can go anywhere feeling assured that his stone will be recognized as superior quality gem. There is only one price for each nrticlo In this store this is the same to everybody. Don't Merely lluy Invest. ALBERT EDHOLM Jeweler Sixteenth and Harney Sts. Musical tc.

Celebrating New Tear's day on the twenty-third of September may sound a little queer to the average citizen, but, neverthe less, this date upon the Hebrew calendar mark the beginning of a new year, and this year, according to the Hebrew records which are aald to date back to the creation ot the world, Is 6672. s New Tear's la celebrated In all Jewish homes, and services are held In all Hebrew churches, and the day Is one of the most Important of any Jewish holiday. The member of the orthodox faith observe two days, beginning at sundown on September 22, and lasting until sar.down on the 21th, but the reformed Jews observe only one day. Another Important holiday which Is soon ta come is "Tom Kippur," or the Day of Atonement, at which time all sins of the last year are supposed to be wiped off the slate, provided the sinner fasts for twenty-four hours, beginning at sundown in October 1 and ending on the following sundown.
