How to Become . Pianist In Compare
lively Short Time.

lively Short Time.
Let us hope there are many who would
like to improve in pianoforte playing
those who, fond Of music, have but
little time to devote to it--many who do
not expect or desire to become profes.
sional players, or even first rate pianists,
yet who like to cultivate music as re-
source for themselves and to give pleas
ure to their friends. It is for these The
Housewife gives the following points;
Much practicing of scales and exercises
Is no doubt useful and in many cases alb
solutely essential for students who in.
tend to devote half their life to the study
of the pianoforte, but most of us after
earliest youth have neither time nor in
clination for this plodding work. Let us
therefore learn our alphabet thoroughly
first. Learn to read easily all the notes
mot so unnecessary hint as it may ap.
pear-all those ledger lines, treble and
bass, SO tiresome to the young, that we
may not guess at the notes, and there
fore scramble over them when we come
to play our music. Let us make ourselves
acquainted with all the marks and their
meanings, perfect ourselves in time, and
then we may select q piece we should
like to learn.
Each performer has his or her favorits
composer. 1t matters not whose music
is selected. Some declare Beethoven to
have been the greatest composer who
ever lived. Others, who cannot soar
quite so high, they say, prefer tuneful
Haydn or "merry, musical Mozart"
Others again appreciate only the roman
tic school and pin their faith on Chopin
or Schubert. Much latitude may be al
lowed in the selection of music, provided
it be conscientiously studied. Whatever
piece is chosen should be carefully read
through first without the piano. When
the notes look quite familiar, they may
be played. The treble should be first at
tempted, each bar carefully gone
through, great attention being paid to
the lingering and marks. Next the bass
should be played in the same manner,
then treble and bass together, and the
music will be comparatively easy. All
new pieces should be taken slowly at
first, and each note should be carefully
and distinctly enunciated. as if the pupil
were speaking with her fingers. Moth
ing is ever lost by taking the time slow
ly. When the piece can be played
through, the student must try to under
stand it-fnd out the composers mean
ing, in Shorthand interpret this as well
as she can.

Cravat Cases.

Cravat cases afford really welcome
presents to men, as they perform an ap-
preciated service in protecting and keep

ly hued crayats, and many Of the bits Of
fancy work bestowed as gifts upon fa-
theirs, brothers and lovers can lay claim
to no such distinction. 1t is good
choice for contribution to college go

mas choosing.
S-ero arc descriptions of two cravat
cases. One is Of nile green leather, with
a monogram worked in gold on the up
per side. 1t is lined with soft, gold coll
ored silk tackled over French cotton. and
across IL are placed narrow bands of rib
bon, three in all, to keep the ties in
place. Another is Of sheer white linen,
powdered with violets, worked in their
natural shade with flo silk floss. The
lining is OF violet china silk, and the rib
bons are of the same shade. Each is %

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. Nov. 1.-The crank

AN ITALIAN SOCIETY.
The Mazzini Club Gives its Opinion on
New Organization.

The Republican city committee recently
permitted the use OF its rooms for the or
gauization OF the Abraham Lincoln Italo-
American club. 1t was not supposed
when this was done that the organ zation
was in any way antagonistic to the M z
zini club which was organized In
| May 1892 and which has done excellent
| ana valuable work. IL would seem, how
ever. that the Mazzini club is not eatirelv
| satisfied with the new organization aud
| the officers express their opinions in the
| following letter addressed to The News:
1T is somewhat surprising to hear that
a number Of prominent l. alians met in the

| Republican club which shall include

be simply finished with ruffle of the
