After tha Dig con 1 cert i are over and tha theatres are closed there" is an Intervening nerlod before the end of .the sea aon mutt ,up mostly of pupil recitals. ' Piano anif vocal lnstructora, to mar the close of their active teaching aea aon, "round tip their students to show , the nubile what they can ao. While thia la often a harrowing ex perience, hardly less harrowing to the liatener than to the periormer, .n, is, f nevertheless, the sensible ;.tblnr to do. One instructor I have' met declares that ? he does not believe , in , pupil recitals; that they are a declaration that the amateur thinks him or , herself reaoy for the public; that be la .no right to inflict , his performance upon the public till ha baa reached his nnai work.' ' That is, of course, unfair for it regards only one side of ihe question. It may be asking a good deal of the public to listen to some of tha amateur efforts, but no one ia obliged to go to hear them. But on the other hand, how is a student ever to get any experience, any confidence, without making a pub lic effort? A teacher really owes this chance to his pupil.-i , i- . There sre-dlffent ways to present one's pupils.' Some instructors choose 'the method of presenting them all to gether on a long program. . This has the advantage of toeeplng them to gether till tha end of the season and giving them some goal to work for. But the program, while it may offer plenty ofT variety, is usually long and tedious. The better way. it seems, and 1 one that is rapidly coming into favor, is that of presenting one, two or three pupils at a time in recital. Tha publlo Is thus snared a good deal of unneces sary anguish for an instructor would hardlv have the "nerve" to Dresent-In a longer program a child without soma redeeming qualities and some ability and training. This ia often done in a shorter program to flatter tha child, avoid injuring its feelings, and because the teacher thinks the publlo can stand one suon numoer. In tha second place it must be bet ter for the pupiL - An amateur per former yes. even many orofesslonals will Improve as the ' program pro gresses. If there is a program Instead 1 of one number to be played tha pupil will not go out, scared stiff, and stumble through her "piece" any way ' to get through and then stumble off with awkward gratefulness or with a sense of failure that she thinks she . might retrieve with another effort. Bhe has to have strength and confidence to carry her through mora than one num- With. And If bar nrvAiianA'S Arn Am tract from her first . numbfer aha . Is almost sure to pick up courage for tha next ana to ao rieiter as me proceed. Even our oldest' singers and players do better as their confidence grows and the Interest of the audience gives them new Interest in their work. .' -v...-'- w w - Is Mrs. Ktthryne Llnehan Johnson gave her fourth annual pupil recital Thurs day evening at tha First Christian church.

In merchandise, silverware,; etc., on pur chases not only of tobacco but all gro ceries and dry goods. . "I am aura that the custom will die out of 'its own ac cord without the assistance of legisla tive action.- fTha best proof of thla la that al ready one. of the great tobacco concerns which has branches throughout tha country ia aropping tne giving 01 pre mium certificates in many cities, with every indication that they will aoort te cut oir auogeiner. rnere is no oiner reason for It except ' that tha persona who patronise cigar , atorea don t cars Xor tne coupons. -. . t, ;.' , v "The records of many premium sta tions show that not more than IB per cent of the coupons issued were turned In for redemption, .which indicates that tne coupona are not now a necessary adjunct to a successful business. I have also learned that of ths It per cent redeemed about 11 per cent were turned in by the women relatives of tha men wno got them, which is an indica tion that but for the Instructions from home scarcely any of the tobacco pur chasers would bother carrying the pre mium certificates away with them. "When the coupons were a novelty everybody was careful to get all that went with the purchase, and they helped business. Now it is hardly worth while going to' the expense of printing tha certificates, to say nothing of spend ing good money for tha premiums that go with them. am y not making ' any ' prediction about the trading stamp, although It is closely related to the tobacco coupon. Aa long as women show an rnsssisi to get something for nothing they will look on trading stampa as having a cer tain definite value and will be much more careful about saving the stampa UNDER DIFFICULTIES. Unusual Dinner at British Embassy . at Time of Paris Siege. From Tit-Bits. . 8 IT f rank Lasdelles, our ambassador In Berlin, who Is just returning, has had some exciting experiences in the course of his diplomatic career. He was with Sir Edward Malet In Paris in 1870 during the siega and the commune, and tells the story of sn ex traordinary dinner which they bad at the embassy shortly after a cannon ball had driven in the front wall and reduced the kitchen to ruins. A general retreat waa made to the cellar. . And here the two Englishmen solemn ly arrayed themselves In dress clothes and set down to dine in aa much "state" ss possioie, amia a Hopeless jumble of treasured bric-a-brac, valuables, clocka. china, etc., for not a scrap of the usual ceremony and etiquette was waived, de spite the Incongruous surroundings. ii iuorto jie tne nsunt or Drlgands," Sir Edward wrote to a friend, "who had just ransacked a stately castle and brought the booty hither; while In the corner, in vivia contrast or neatness with the disorder, waa the table laid out for dinner, with Its white table cloth and allver candlesticks, and, to crown 'Incongruities. Frank Lascelles and myself in evening dress and white ties, waited on by the stately butler and embassy servants." fpplr "tln akin cream to wet akin, lpe ,ir. r. rwiirei MTinyv .inooin HKin. mmamabl: I PIANO AtUES - - - i Read These Prices - - -- '.- - - .- - , -.
