When we want music we summon the stars of the operatic world or the great pianists, cellists and violinists who have played records for our own instrument and there before the fire, while the rain drips outside, we hear Gluck and Zimbalist in the "Swedish Cradle Song," the Phila delphia Orchestra in "Festival at Bagdad," Mme. Alda and Mon. Martinelli in "La Boheme," Caruso in "Elisir d'Amore," Galli-Curci in "Traviata." If we are bored we turn to a record of Sousa's Band or to "Everybody Shimmies Now" or to a Harry Lauder record or "I'se Gwine Back to Dixie." If neighbors come in we dance to the latest Broadway tunes. If it's church music we want we call on the Tuskegee Singers to give us "Go Down Moses," "Old-Time Religion," "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot," Heaven Song, Inchin' Along," and perhaps we follow them with the Trinity Choir of New York singing "Angels From the Realms of Glory" or the Victor Chorus in Beethoven's "The Heav ens Resound" or "Gloria Patri." With a phonograph the music of the world is in one's own home and what joy it is to make such a gift of year-long pleasure! . r Columbia Grafonolas, $20 to $250 Edison Phonographs, $95 to $285 Victor Victrolas, from $25 to $300 Any terms in reason.
