TILL XMAS There is good reason to believe that music is the oldest of arts older than the human race. , It has its roots even in subhuman sources, for many animals give evidence of enjoying soft, harmonious sound and rhythm. The war-horse will prance at the sound of martial mu sic, some cats and does olafnlv en joy listening to the piano, and the influence of the eastern snake charm' er's music is well known. The child repeats the history of tne race. Hence music is his tint and most deeply rooted art instinct and hrst means of self-expression in any torm of art Through music, the child, ear tially and uncounsciously at first, but more denmtely as tne years go by, enters into the unseen world of beauty. Not only this, but in music he also finds a means of expressing the otherwise inexpressible. For many, a boy and girl during the try ing years of adolescence, full of half-fledged yearnings and 'self' questionings, music offers a release into a more harmonious realm, Music makes the child partner in the great business of creation. Each of us is by nature a member of the mighty chorus of the universe. No child is willingly a mere passive listener, and in singing or playing. no matter how imperfectly, he be comes what be was meant to be a creator, The studv of music not onlv gives invaluabla exercise to the mind: it also refines the whole nature. Watch a crowd of street urchins listening to tne right sort ot music and see how utterly the soint of hoodlum ism is banished. By no means least of the benefits bestowed by music is that of bodily grace. :The kindergarten youngster who sways gently to and fro as he sings of the wind among the flowers, the child who enjoys some sturdy folk-song and dance, the older girl who interprets Chopin through rythmicmotion, ail of these are to quiring oodiiy grace and health, a mind and body harmoniously at tuned.' f- . . V ln order that these pleasures and advantages may s be life-long posses sions, the cornerstone of the love of music must be laid in childhood. Music and Childhood, Press Chairman. Mrs. J. W.

Jaime De Veyra, wife of one o! the representatives from the Philippine Islands to the United States government at Washington, was recently in New York on a unique mission from the Philippine government to represent that coun try in its true light ss a Christian country with a high degree of edu cation, fine schools and economic re sourcefulness. She gave two illus trated talks on the progress- of women in her native land before the women of the Woman's City club and another before the New York Library School at Forty-second street. '"'Madame De Veyra Is assisted by Miss Bessie A. Dwyef, for many years head of the circulation depart ment of the library at Manila. They are supplied with very beautiful col ored screen pictures of the Islands, which they nave already shown be fore the. members of congress and their wives in Washington. In her hand-woven and hand-embroidered, dress of pineapple fiber, common to the ladies of the Philip pine Islands, which is shaped like a big butterfly with gauty wings, Mad ame De Veyra told tne womd pf continental United States some amaaing things about her country. In many ways the life of the Fill pins woman is elsy, said Madame de Veyra. Laws made for her have combined the best of Spanish and American precedents, and she has come into her own with far less struggle than either her American or ner, Spanish sisters. Married women may hold property in sever alty. Thev are guardians of their own children. Of the property which accrues' to a married couple, the wife is half administratrix. These are vested rights and cannot be taken away from her. Professional opportunities are as frood for women as for men in the and of the setting sun. Women are already members of the Philippine Bar association a thing still im possible in Great Britain. They are in business for themselves, and are successful as physicians. Used Sleighbells in Tropics. Not least curious among objects of antiquity dug up in central Amer ica and Colombia are golden images of reptiles with tiny sleighbells tor eyes. . At all events, we should call them sleighbells because, in miniature, they are exactly like sleighbells, the lit serving to representing the opening 'ween the eyelids. Full-si. u sleighbells, -mostly gold-plated, are found in ancient graves all over central America, says the Philadelphia "Public Ledg er." Usually they are of copper, and have a loop at the top to nang by. What they were used for Is a mystery. . Presumably for orna ment, though they may hive had 'a religious signi(icance. . Unmistak ably they were cast In molds. " The prehistoric inhabitants of those , regions were exceedingly skillful metal workers, copper and gold being their favorite materials. They had a process for plating with a gold wash that Is not understood at all today. But it would be most interesting to kndw how it came about that sleighbells exactly like our own in pattern " were made on this con tinent centuries, and probably thou sands of years, before the new world was discovered.
