For the word ”verbal." in the sen~

should be substituted. since "verbal"
nit-ans "consisting of words." and
"oral" means “by word of mouth."

The Anklet Appears as a llcguillng
Bit. of Feminine Adornment.

HE anklet Is one hit of Oriental

jewelry the lure of which ()ccl-‘

dental women have until now
resisted. Most women of America or
Eastern Europe would as iimm np-

pesr In public wearing a nose wring,

as snklets. We used to read of the

iinkllng of the anklets'of the girls

of India as they forogathcr oi. the
wells for water at close of tiny“
very picturesque and enticing no
doubt, but still it trifle barbaric.
(".ould It be that we‘ would ever

adopt this fashion along with our .

low-cut shoes. cursctless waists.
W‘m‘fs and hiniplilirvt'l costumes that
have undoubtedly Ilb't'l‘l very largely
of ilrlental Inspiruiiun'.’

Nowadays we hear a. lot about the
way that the women of (‘hina and
India and Turkcy are giving up
their own national costume and
adopting French fashions and we
think that the wsvu of influence has
all been from west to cask-little
realizing that counter influence that
has been at work carrying eastern
ideas of clothes to the fashion
centers of the (h-ridcni.

And now we have the anklct. or at
least enough women have worn
anklcts here and there to make
women

form of jewelry us earrings or
bangles. To begin with, it may l|u\'c
been the motion picture slurs that
Wore them. but very recently nnklcts
have appeared around the slender
ankles through which run blood as
blue and an aristocratic as anyone
might Wish. To be sure Ihesc unit‘-

lets have been rather inconspicumts.‘

They were of slondcr links and worn
beneath
fineness. And the effect seemed
anything but barbaric. (If course
they did not ilnklo like those worn
by the inlrlitus-lm.v datnscls of India.

For the “mild“ who hasn't quite
the courage to wear the real anklet
there are stockings with openwork
circles round tho ankle which take
the place of the regular clox. Thero’
are metal gonzo stockingsaof
French origin of course—and those

are usually cmbcllislmd with an out-1

broideretl nnitlrt Mn
anklet on the gold sttwkings.

Of course only one anklet is worn
and that on the left ankle. A cer-
‘tain well-known film star has been
seen recently wearing an anklet of
emeralds and platinum with bracelet
to match-«the anklet on her left
ankle and the bracelet on her right
arm. lflmcrnlmgreen satin slippers
she wore, but she left her stockings
at home. Another well—known pic-
ture star wears anklcts of diamonds.
pearls and sapphires. For your part.
you may prefer the more conserva-
ive links of silver. gold or platinum.

Someone commented the other day
that anklets were really the most
decoroue of accessories. since they
tended to detract attention from tho
knees and garters which have taken
such prominence since fashion issued
her decree in favor of very short
skirts.

THE RADIO PRIMER

Ono Daily Fact for Listeners

Distortion in loudspeakers Is a
trouble that must be reckoned with
by a radio fan who wants in mi
perfect reproduction or the program
that the» broadcasting ntatinn In
sending out. It probably Is not the
commonest or the must serious tuttise
of a distorted reception of the prw
gram. but it does a good deal of
harm. especially In the reception of
the music of an orchestra.

The distortion Is introduced in
two places. tine is in the electrical
part of the apparatus. Many of
the cheaper loudspeakers now on
the American market will not rc-
produce well the higher frequencies.
which means the higher tones of
the orchestra. The electrical unil
of the loudspeaker will not let them
through, Others drop out the lower
tones. making the music harsh and
"tinny." Many speakers fall to lot
through either the high tones or
the low ones, leaving only the mid-
dle tones to be heard.

Another cause of distortion Is the
resonance of the horn. lly reso«
hence we mean the strengthening
of come of the. tones by reverbera-
tion. With the majority of loutl~
speaker horns this happens chiefly
with the low-pitched notes. Accord-
ingly there will be a sort of rumble
in the horn.

Sometimes this Is really beneficial.
Many kinds of audio frequency am‘
pili‘iers weaken these lower notes
considerably. If. then. titers In some
reverberation of them In the born.
that will tend to restore the music
somewhat to what it ought. ’to be.
(me form of distortion correct. in
part. for another kind.

’ WHY

is “RAGTIME” DIFFERENT
FROM OTHER MUSIC?

lbs: of measures in the writing

of music is to place the strong-
est accent on the first best. But.
sometimes. to produce an unusual
:itect, the composer shifts this ac-
cent to a best which would other~
wise be unemphssized. For exam-
ple. he may tie the first note in a
measure to the last note in the pre-
ceding measure. or the third best in
what is called a 4/4 measure to tho
second. thus throwing the accent to
the cocond or ftl'iirth beat. The
musical name for such a shifting or
accent is "syncopation." though the
public seems to prefer the term
"ragtime" or "jazz"——the former
from the fact that the time is rugged
or changed. the letter from the name
of a negro headmaster who first
specialised in compositions of this

Till-1 regular rulc for the accent-

’ RAI'III'O.

In short. ragtime or syncopation is
nothing more or less than music of
a. fantastic. unusual meter. accented
on other than the regular beats,
Many musicians deplore the wide-
spread popularity or this type of
composition. but others profess to
believe that it will. In time. develop
Into a separate class of music which
Is extremely worth while. seeing in
it what they refer to as "the uncon-
scious expression of the spirit of the
times."
