site music the other day by a lady
friend who has procured a Regina
Music Box, an instrument whose
simplicity of construction is
equaled only by the melodious
sounds that it produces. 1t is un
like other music boxes and far
suPerio, to any that we have ever
seen. BY merely changing the
metallic sheets, a different air is
played and with such perfect melo-
dy that the hearer is almost held
spell-bound with surprise and adj
miration. a. Wolff, of cor. 14th
street Il Union Square W., New
York City, is agent for the Regina
Music Boxes.
