she fastened a strap, around the invalid
chair in which Mrs. Fating was accus
tomed to sit to keep her from falling
out while she left the room for a short
time to make tea. She Insisted that
this did not happen more than four
times and she was led to adopt the pre
caution because once while she was out
for a few minutes, Mrs. Faling attempt
ed to rise and walk across the room.
She said further that her action had
no reference to her patient's supposed
Insanity and In no way was It intended
as a restraint.

What Is the Best
Piano-Player
In the Market?
We are sometimes asked this. question. It is almost equiva- '
lent to that classic Inquiry,' "How knf is a rope?" However,
there is an answer to it.
Every player-piano is a compromise between quality md
cost. The best one is naturally the one in which cost has been
least considered. But the best valua Is that which, at the lowest
possible price, gives the hi jhest possible, quaHtyl
On that basis, there Is not the least doubt -what make leads
the market.. It is the wonderful "EUPHONA.'' Because
It is the best piano, considered as a musical instrument-- .
It is the best player, considered as a mechanical device
that is sold at its price, or anywhere near It. -Its superiors tost
