HB CLOSE of the mualeal season
I u at hand. 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.

From tha New York Sun. "
"Tha popularity of tha tobacco cou

made an investigation into tha practice
of giving certificates v. redeemable . 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

fTha best proof of thla la that al

which has branches throughout tha

"The records of many premium sta

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

turned in by the women relatives of tha

tion that but for the Instructions from
home scarcely any of the tobacco pur
chasers would bother carrying the pre

"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

more careful about saving the stampa

Unusual Dinner at British Embassy

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.

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."

STRICTLY ONE PRICE
We do not ordinarily mention prices, for the simple reason that it is so well understood by
the people in general that our .prices are right. You don't have to rush down town to get one
of these pianos. Our prices are the same in June as in DccemtJer. Every price is right. Every :
piano is priced according to its real worth.
We carry nothing in a new piano for less than $250, because we carry no piano that we are
not willing to guarantee. No real dependable piano can be sold (new)' for less than $250.
s Buy. your piano from a reliable house, buy a dependable piano, and bUy it where the price
Is the same to you as to your neighbor. " " '
