Padcrewski hair needs the Paderewski

| Padcrewski shading. Taking these diff
ferences into consideration you can find

And not as pianists alone do the girls
excel. They are violinists, 'cellists, harp

congregational singing, using the cornet to

Miss Helen Gould is proficient upon only
one musical instrument. This is the harp.
And the wonder is that Miss Gould, de-
voted as she has been tu charities for sew

the difficult strings. Her father, Jay
Gould, was very fond of harp music He

Miss Kitty Duer plays the small instru

she drives. Miss Duer plays the piccolo and
also the banjo and mandolin. Her atti-
