in vogue as the .stripes give that pleated efl'oct. The flaring styles, if any

?\rver Trrut n Cough.
The treatment of the uiauy different
conditions xyhlch cause cough is not a
<Mit and filled system. If it were, It
would bo superfluous for the patient to
visit the doctor more than once for any
illness accompanied with cough. If the
wrong medicine can do any harm, then
it in certainly a desperate business* ex
perimenting with council syrups on your
own case. Ilow do you know but that
tlio narcotle Ingredient of the eoujtii ;
syrup will shut off the cough enough to
retain secretions whlah ought to be ox- j
pectorated from the chest, and these se- J
cretions. being full of germs, might In- j
feet the 1 tnms and produce pneumonia? i
Wo are convinced that many a simple j
tracheitis-or a bronchitis which would!
proceed to recovery within a few days
if left alone, becomes pneumonia ulti
mately by reason of the patient's fatal
error In taking a cough mixture con
taining some nnrcotlc, like morphine, '
heroin, eodeln, opium, chloroform or
chloral.
It Isn't so bad to advise vour friends
to take so-and-so for the cough?If
you are that kind of person and have
that type of friends?but when It comes
to < \ pctltnenllng on your own cough,
if you're wise you'll leave It to the
doctor, who I-s not Infallible, of course,
but about a thousand times safer than
*elf-doctorlng can be.

I5Y MARTHA WESTOVBH
X> ver was !t more truly .said that
"Necessity is the mother of Invention"
than when applied to the science of
cooking. During Lent many house
wives are "put to it" to think of sub- '
stltutes for jut at dishes, and if they'
select the really attractive things they
gradually Ik-rui to serve less and less
inents at their tables.
No less an autiiorlty than Mrs. llorer
tlie cooking expert, who Is lecturing' in
Richmond litis week, pointing to the
old laws, said that so-called ti'ileious
laws are nothing more or less than the
laws of health, and that they pertained
largely to meat eating.
There are more nourishing dishes to
i>e made from vegetables', nuts and !
fruits than can possibly he made from
meat. It) the treatment of disease the
? liet plays a most important part, hut
in preventing disease the average

AMUSEMENTS
llcCorinnrk Capture.* Ainllcncr.
Tho .McCorniiick conocrt lit the Audi
tortuin last night, under tho local man- '
agemcnt of \V. II. Hetts, was in many |
respects the most successful yet Riven j
in Richmond by that publie-Hplrittid
young manager. The famous lrisii tenor
captured the unusually larRC audience
which almost filled tho auditorium, ll' ,
one may Judge from the tumultuous and j
continued applause which Rreeted him
and whicJt followed every one. of his |
many sours. Indeed, tho slnRer was as '
Renorous as the audience, and It was ,
evidently Immensely pleased.
Mr. McC'orniack is credited with the j
ambition to please and entertain the
groat majority who prefer tho simpler
and more tuneful melodies, and in this
effort lie was completely successful.
From the Rroup of ancient Irish sonRS. ]
ihtouiih a multitude of encores Ine.lud- >
iiiR I lie popular "I Hear You Calling
Me," and the old favorite, "Relieve Me.
If All Those Kndearlng Young Charms," i
the audience listened with bated breath
to the really beautiful anil flexible
voice of the famous slnRer and his fie- .
<iuent and prolonRcd use of the falsetto,
finally volcitiR its emphatic approval
with checrs.
Mr. McCormack's enunclatlo'n was.
clear and distinct, almost to the point I
of declamation, ami every word of his
sours was easily distinguished, though !
his pronunciation was sometimes a lit- ,
tl<- startllnR and unusual, due, no
doubt to Jiis foreign birth. Fortunately
for the minority who prefer a some
what different class of music, Mr. Mc
Cormack's art Is versatile and three!
numbers, at least, of his programme ft .
tiolhitiR to he desired.
The tlrst number, the Recitative and
Aria from Handel's "Jeptba." was sung
with dignity and with manifest feeling
and refined appreciation of the pitiful
tragedy it describes. Allltsen's "The
l.oril Is My Hlght" Is full of religious
enthusiasm and was superbly sung.
So in the last number the splemlld
sons from Puccini's "I.a Tosea," tho
slnRer found opportunity for unusual
dramatic fervor and the full, free use
of his wonderful voice. Mr. McCor
ninrk's Rreat work In these three num
bers, will never he forgotten by those
who had the Rood fortune to hear
them.
Donald McBeath. the Australian vio
linist, was cordially received. Hi*
technique, though slightly labored, was
clear-cut and correct, and he played
conscientiously and with delicate re- i
fincment, and though perhaps not
great, his work compared favorably
with many more-famous artists.
A word of tribute must bo paid to
Mr. ltitts, to whose energy and con
fidence In the good taste of the Rich*
moil public the city is Indebted for so
much Rood mhslc these past few
months. He has brought to Richmond
the incomparable Hlspham, the great
Kreisler, with our own John Powell,
and now he has given us the world
renowned McCormack. May his shadow
never grow less, and may his latest
success persuade him to keep up the
good work. * A. R- t!.

Sir Fdward Grey, the British Foreign

Pays Another Tribute to the
STEINWAY PIANO
February 24, 1915.
Mess. Walter D. Moses & Co.,
Richmond, Va.:
Gentlemen:
I wish to thank you for the beautiful Steinway
Pian o which you sent to my apartments at the Jefferson.
There is nothing that I could say in appreciation of
the Steinway that has not already been said. The Stein
way need fear no competition, for it has none. It is in
comparable. There is no other piano in the world, and I
am delighted to add my name to the large roll of artists of
this and former generations, both vocal and instrumental,
who have testified to its superlative merits.
I am, gentlemen, with highest admiration,
Yours very sincerely,
JOHN McCORMACK.
