A Louisville girl who plays on the
cornet, il said TO have discovered that
performers on wind instruments gcnrr-
ally develop dimples in their checks,
caused probably by the frequ' nj strain
on the facial muscles, which are brought
into play by the act of blowing. The

trombone are all sail to be exccilen'
