1ence to light sand; on negroes in preference to Europeans; on black boots in preference to light garments, etc. Nuttall and Shipley have gone further and have classified colors in the order of their attraction for anopheles maculipennis. From dark blue, the most powerful, they range through dark red and red brown to light blue, white and yellow. Thus does it work out, according to Henry Bidou, that in 'this life fair men and women have a decided advantage over their dark brethren. The latter, it is true, may have recourse to light colored clothing, but the mosquito operates with the greatest activity at night, when clothing is scant and generally white. "Let us hope," concludes M. Bidou, "that science will teach more of the habits of the lynx eyed anopheles and discover whether there is not some particular style of lingerie, some pattern of lace which it abhors." And the New York Herald (Paris Edition), commenting on this subject, says: "Even those people who make no claim to science know that the mosquito is musical; but who would have thought that he could manifest other aesthetic attributes—that he could, for example, and does, distinguish between blonde and brunette? But such is the case, if celebrated scientists are to be believed."
3Since Frank King Clark, with Mrs. Clark, returned from a visit to the Bayreuth Wagner performances and an auto-
5mobile trip through the Rhine district, he has been kept very busy teaching in his Paris studios. He found pupils, old and new, awaiting his return, and was obliged to resume vocal teaching immediately.
7Says the Boston Herald on the progress of English: "The time may come when English will be the accepted common language of diplomacy, as French is now. Perhaps the reformed spelling of English, of which we hear so much, will contribute to that end."
9Fannie E. Carroll, mother of the delightful opera singers, Clara and Grace Carroll, is slowly recovering from a long siege of illness. She is now out of danger, and her many friends hope soon to see her "quite herself" again.
11Among musical Americans in Paris now are: Joseph Kaspar, the violinist and musical director, of Washington, D. C.; Mrs. Kaspar, the singing teacher, with a bevy of young lady pupils; Henry Kaspar, who is studying piano in Germany; Bernardus Boekelman, pianist, New York; his former assistant, Miss Stuart, of Williamsport, Pa., and her mother; Caroline Frohman, sister of the well known New York managers, Daniel and Charles Frohman; Clara Ludvigh, the singer, from New York, and her mother; Robert Franz Foerster, son of the well known American song writer, Adolph M. Foerster, of Pittsburg, Pa.; Albert Mildenberg, the handsome pianist and composer, New York; Charles Meehan, the singer, New York; Emil A. Just, professor of piano, Alabama Brenan College, Eufaula, Ala.; K. B. Patterson, professor of violin, Lenoir College, Hickory, N. C.
13Mr. and Mrs. Adolf Glose, of Washington, D. C., with their talented daughter, Augusta Glose, after a delightful time spent in Paris, returned home by the American liner New York.
15Margaret E. Upcraft, pianist and teacher from Washington, has been spending the summer in Paris studying with Wager Swayne, the excellent piano pedagogue. She will return to America with her mother by way of England, where a week's time will be enjoyed in sight seeing.
17John Braun, the Wagnerian tenor, and Mrs. Braun, departed for America via Cherbourg on the Hamburg-American liner Amerika. Mr. Braun contemplated originally to cross the Atlantic in his automobile, but finally abandoned the idea in favor of the ship, which seemed to be better equipped for the purpose. In America the Brauns will spend a holiday month with friends in Maine, after which Mr. Braun begins his concert tournée through the States.
19Mildenberg Compositions Played Abroad.
21Albert Mildenberg, the composer, pianist and teacher, who has been abroad several months, is now in Paris. Mr. Mildenberg visited Naples, Rome, Florence, Venice, Milan, Lausanne, Frankfort-on-the Main, Leipsic, Berlin and London. While in Venice he succeeded in having the Imperial Band on St. Marc's square, play his composition, "Water-Ways." In Milan Mr. Mildenberg left the score of his opera, "Raffaelio," with the director of the orchestra of the Milan Exposition, and the composer had the pleasure of hearing a number of the orchestral parts played by the official orchestra. Mr. Mildenberg is about to establish in Paris a branch of his school in the Rue de la Trémoille 22. At the present time Mr. Mildenberg is engaging assistant teachers. Hereafter he will divide the year between his studios in New York and Paris. The cafés along the boulevards in Paris are playing Mildenberg's orchestral intermezzo. Nothing better indicates that the American composer has found instant appreciation in the gay and musical capital of France.
23Music in Bryan's State.
25LINCOLN, Neb., August 28, 1906.
27There are to be several recitals and concerts of considerable importance to musicians and those interested in music in Lincoln during the coming fall and winter. Chief among these is the song recital by Mme. Schumann-Heink, who appears in the Y. M. C. A. course. The managers show wisdom in placing her name at the head of the list, as the advance sale of tickets is sure to be large.
29Robert W. Stevens has been added to the teaching force of the piano department of the University School of Music. Mr. Stevens is a musician of considerable prominence. The announcement says, "that owing to the rapid increase in the attendance it has become necessary to materially augment the teaching force of the school." H. K.
31Claassen Entertained in Munich.
33Arthur Claassen was among those unable to secure tickets for the Wagner festival at Bayreuth. Mr. Claassen, however, was privileged to attend performances of the Mozart operas at Munich and also one performance of "Die Meistersinger." While in Munich Mr. Claassen was most hospitably entertained and, what is more, he was invited to conduct the Liederkranz Society of that beautiful city. The audience accorded the visiting conductor a great ovation and the Munchener Neueste Nachrichten praised very highly his skill with the baton, and added that it was an honor for the Munich singing society to be directed by him.
35Luckstone at Dinard.
37Isidore Luckstone, who is now at Dinard, with his family, will sail for New York in a few days. Mr. Luckstone will resume his teaching at his new residence-studio, 153 West Seventy-sixth street, on September 17.

60One Who Passed Away.
61(IN MEMORIAM, FLORENCE CLINTON SUTRO.)
62She walked beside me many days ago,
63Morn, noon and night. At morn's first glimmering ray
64Her eyes with hope were full for goals unwon,
65For labors of the day.
67At noon the world was glad for sight of her;
68At night her face shone tremulous with thought
69Of music, song, of joy or even care
70The day had richly brought.
72So fair she was, so altogether sweet,
73So like a little child that knows no fear
74And takes into its heart with trust complete
75The pauper or the peer.
77And in her eyes were God's unwritten things—
78Peace, wide-enfolding love, a kindly heart
79For all humanity and worshipping devout
80At shrine of art.
82Whene'er she went, whene'er she came there shone
83About her path a widely luminous space;
84Thrice blest were they who once had gazed upon
85The sunshine of her face.
87All beauty came to her—the radiance of spring,
88The rose of summer time, all good to cull
89From perfect fruitage, snow-soft winds to sing
90In breathings worshipful.
92One time she was a care-free May-day queen
93With lightsome foot, with seemly, stately airs;
94Anon a quiet saint with brow serene,
95Her eyes the abode of prayers.
97She went from out my presence one sad morn
98And took her way across the voids of space;
99The echoes of her haunts cry back forlorn,
100All empty is the place.
102I shiver in the shade that shade was not,
103I listen in the silence where was song.
104The love-rose withers in the trysting place,
105The time of stars is long.
107I may not see with tear-blind eyes the way
108To that far Heaven where her sweet soul waits,
109Yet none can flit from me that perfect day one of two readings
110Yet none can flinch from me that perfect day one of two readings
111When ope its radiant gates,
113And never clouds of Heaven's unending space
114Nor darks of night, nor sorrow's pall o'ercast
115Can dim the glory of that luminous place
116Where she has passed.
