Regent Colorado Society, Daughters of the Revo
lution. Miss Estelle Reel, federal superintend
ent of Indian schools, has given some in
teresting talks recently before the clubs
in Washington on the subject of the re
vival of the ancient Indian arts. Miss
Reel has endeavored to perpetuate the
arts of basket making and blanket weav
ing by placing groups of girls under the
tutelage of old squaws who are skilled
In the various arts. There is a growing
desire on the part of persons of taste to
own specimens of native art, and there
is little doubt that whole tribes could be
made comfortably self-sustaining If they
could be induced to return to their old
time industries.
At a meeting of the Eclectic club of
New York last week, there was a lively
discussion on the question. "What Is the
Happiest Day of a Woman's Life?" A
paper, dealing with the most important
and marked days in a woman's life, was
read by Mrs. Powhattan Gordon. One
member thought the happiest moment is
when she starts on her honeymonn trip;
another thought It was when she strikes
"a real bargain." Mrs. Miriam Mason
Greeley thought the happiest day of a
woman's life is when she reads her first
paper before a woman's club, and sees a
good account of it In the newspaper af
terward. Mrs. Dore Lyon asserted that
the happiest day of a woman's life is
never realized, because It is always In
anticipation.
The federated club of women of Utah
only number 1,000, but probably no state
organization Is more actively engaged In
promoting measures for the public wel
fare than this one. Much legislative work
Is already outlined. Among the proposed
measures are bills favoring the Introduc
tion of the kindergarten as a part of the
regular public school course; the estab
lishing of a school of domestic science
in connection with the state university;
the passage of an anti-cigarette law pro
viding 'punishment for boys and youths
under IS years of age who use tobacco;
a bill to prevent boys of tender years
from entering saloons and gambling
houses, and another providing for the
care of neglected children. Committees
from the clubs are actively at work to
secure the passage of these bills.

A bill, the purpose of which la to li
cense those persons to teach music who
can satisfactorily demonstrate, by pass
ing examinations, their ability to prop
erly Instruct, has been introduced into
the Illinois legislature. It is said that
the competent, earnest teachers through
out the state are almost a unit in their
support of the bill, which is a Just one.
A prominent teacher of Watseka. In
writing to a Chicago paper regarding the
license, says:
"Persistent opposition in the profes
sion, after full understanding, comes
only from those who recognize or fear
their inability to pass an examination,
who tear some rival instead of them
selves, will be appointed on the board
of examiners, or who have some other
envious or selllsh motive. The measure
Itself is reasonable and Just in Its pro
visions. It is not designed to, and will
not exclude any honest, ambitious
teacher with a fair knowledge of theory
and history, and of moderate ability as
a performer. If passed, a higher code of
professional ethics wiuld be established,
honor and conscience would be enthron
ed, ambition would be stimulated and
music would soon be regarded as one of
the essentials of life Instead of one of the
superllulties."
"How to Understand Music," wus the
subject of a very interesting and In
structive talk given Monday afternoon
at the Matinee Musicale. by Mrs. Erwin
II. Barbour. Illustrations of various
forms of composition were given by
some of the leading musicians In the
club.
The symphony, "The Highest Form of
Musical Composition," was illustrated by
a trio from Beethoven's fifth symphony,
played by Mrs. Ina Enslgn-Hagenow,
Miss Eiche and Mrs. Minnie Rothschlld
Herzog. "If one understands the sonate, one
understands nil other forms of composi
tion." A beautiful Grieg somite was
played by Miss Lucy Haywood.
To Illustrate the cavntlna, which, Mrs.
Harbour said, had undergone less change,
probably, than nny other form, Mrs. A.
W. Jansen sang that lovely thing.
"Uegnava nel SUenzlo." from Lucia.
Musicians nre surer of thi'lr nudlence
In chamber music than In any other
form, paid MrH. Barbour, And this was
true On Monday, for the Mendelssohn D
minor trio held the audience spellbound.
