MY LITTLE I" PRUE."

A demure, silent little lass
| very often see;
She Is the dearest, queerest girl
Her name is Prudence Lee.
MY little Prue Is quaint and prim;
She comes of Pilgrim stock;
Her father was II member of
The band mt Plymouth Rock.
She always wears long. plain dress,
OF sombrcst, darkest hue;
From underneath her large brown
hood
Blue eyes peep out at you.
Dear little Prue of olden time
So full of artless grace
How well 1 love TO sit and gaze
On thy fair sweet face.
The face that long has ceased to smile,
The wltching eyes of blue:
Oh, nothing more is left of her
My bOnny little Prue
For she Is but IL picture now
A child of byg0le times
Who now Is looking down ut me
From far and fairer climes.

Several Methods of Executing This Simple

1t Is an accepted theory that n solid

sure that 1t is devoid of moisture and
perfectly dry. Gently place 1t carefully

What is rag time, and where did it
originate? is question frequently
heard The sudden popularity of coon
songs" which took firm hold upon
popular favor few years ago. and de-
spite all predictions to the contrary,
have held it ever since, led to varia-
ton in music known as rag time. -
Since then rag time" has been an
expansionist. 1nere is rag time" mu-
sic; there are "rag time" songs; there
has been a rag time" opera There
are professors of rag time Gin
structors of rag time and specialists
in rag time" but precisely what it is,
no two musical authorities agree, ex-
cept on the point that it is something
very popular just now. One teacher of
"rag time" here tells me that rag
time" takes its initiative step from
Spanish music-or, rather, from Mex
leo, where it is known under the heads
and names of Habanra, DANA and
Seguidilla. being nothing but consecu-
tive music, either in the treble or bass,
followed by regular time in one hand.
In common time the quarter note OF
the bass precedes the melody.
