A correspondent of the Buffalo Express
tells good story about the Christmas music
at Trinity Church. New York. The girls
were practicing some ancient chorals written
in the mssal style of the 18th century,
which DIR. Dix, to his great delight, had
been able to borrow. A huge page Of the
precious melody, with notes as big as
plaques, and embellished with heads Of
saints and angels, was displayed on an easel
in front Of them. They were expected to
enthuse nightly over this treasure of art
and religion, and raise their voices rever-
entially to the mummifed tune. There was
one girl, high, squeaky soprano, who
seemed to have vocal expression at GER
tain point, sending one note up like a sky
rocket. Dix was little startled, and lie,
her try it over and over again, and ever with
the same phenomenon. IL beg your pardon,

She gazed fxedy at the ornate sheet of

and said 'Well, doctor, if l haven't been
