The Power Of Music.

On one occasion, when young Chopin

the slow fashion Of German diligencies

bing at a small post-house, to discover
grand piano-forte in one Of the rooms,
and still more surprised to find it in
tune thanks probably to the musical
taste of the postmaster's family. He
sat down instantly and began to impro-
wise in his peculiarly happy manner
cne by one the travellers were attracted
by the unwonted sweet sounds, one of
them even letting his beloved pipe go
out in his ecstacy. The postmaster, his
wife, and his two daughters joined the
group of listeners. Unmindful of his
audience, Of the journey, the lapse of
time, and everything but the music.
Chopin continued to play and his COM
panions to listen in rapt attention, when
they were suddenly reused by a stem
torian voice which made the windows
rattle, calling out: "The horses are
ready, gentlemen |" The postmaster
roared out an anathema against the
tlisturber-the postilion-and the pas
sengers cast angry glances at him.
Chopin started from his seat, but was
instantly surrounded by his audience,
who entreated him to continue. "But
we have been here some time" said
Chopin, consulting his watch, 'and are
due in Posen already" 'Stay and play,
noble young artist" cried the post
master; 81 will give you couriers'
horses if you will only remain little
longer"
"Dobe persuaded" began the post
masters wife, almost threatening the
artist with an embrace. What could he
do but resume his place at the instru-
ment? When at last he paused, the
servant appeared with wine; the hosts

the best eatables and wine the house
contained, and when at last the artist
rose to go, his gigantic host seized him
in bis arms and bore him to his carriage.
Long years afterward Chopin would re-
call this little incident with pleasure,
and declare that the plaudits of the
press had never given him more delight
than the homage Of these simple, music

a fluffy fringe falling over the brow.
Darned embroidery, i. O., filling i'll

that are so popular for neckerchiefs,
The crown and brim are formed of many
small puffs that are drawn together on
rattans, and the trimming is a handker
chief or fichu with embroidered dots
and scolloped edges arranged around
the crown, with the square ends knotted
in an Alsacian bow in front.
After spun. silk hose, the first choice
