Selling Shoes in Scotland

l. A letter in the New York Timea
relating to some of the odd happen
1ngs of travel, contains the following
example Of sly Scottish: humor: If it
becomes necessary for man Journey
ing through Scotland to purchase a
pair of boots he will find that he has
q days work before him. Not only
does he have to pay for: the shoes, but
he has to try them on, lace or button
them up, take them off, try on an
other pair, and go through all the
work himself, while the clerk stands
by and looks on. Purchasing pair
of shoes in such city as Glasgow, the
customer has to sit in an ordinary
chair, with a high, stiff back. There
Is no rest for the foot, nothing what
soever in the way Of accommodation.
One day. an American traveller had
bought pair of shoes in Glasgow. As
he was leaving the store he said to the
clerk: ''Have you ever heard of the
way we buy shoes in America? Well.
there is rest placed on the floor in
front of the customer, and on this rest
tho customer places his foot. Just
back of this rest is a seat on which
the clerk sits and fits the customer"
The clerk listened respectfully; then
he leaned forward and whispered in
the Americans ear: "That may do
very we'll for America, sir; but here
our employers do not like to see US
sitting down when we work.

En- la tarde del iitimo domingo tuve
ell placer de asistir q una fiesta simpati
ca por demas.
Con motive de ser su onom 'stico, la
distingulda profesora de piano senorita
Mercedes Arias, celebr6 uua audici6n
con is alumnas, demostrando d la dis

Para hacer una reseiia de 10 que cada

por 10 que me oontraer6 las que mas
Sc dlstinguieron.
Toias cumplieron bieu su cometdo,
desde las principiantes hasts las de ma
yores conocimientos. Recordamos con
placer ell aplomo buen decir de la
nina Mercedes Negron al eiecutar una
S0natina de Bhetoven en- esta nina ci-
fra la profesora muy bel.qs esperanzas,
pues es, como Sc dice vuVgarmente, de
la maClerG de los masicos.
Las nihas Eioisa Colon y Matilde
Prats ejecutaron con brillantez un boni.
to walls, cuatro manos, respondiendo
ell auditorio con un nutrido splauso.
Volvi6 al piano la nina Eloisa Colon,
y ejecut6 con notable llmpieza un tema
de varisciones, que fac muy aplaudido.
T4mbi6n la nina MatiIde Prats eiecut6
con muchq precision Ia Sonata de Mo
zart.
La concurrencia fu6 agradablemente
sorprendida por la uihl Lolita Prats,
quien, con 4 8 5 masses de violin, TOGO
unos estudios en- dicho Instruments con
bastante gusto y ainacion. La circuns-
tancia de ser Lolita discfpula del que
suscribe, me veda consagrarla ell para.
fo que els merece; sin embargo, ell en-
tusiasta APPLAUSE que reeibiera del audi
torio, demustra quese la oyo con gusto.
CCrr6se la audici6n con la Fantasia
sObre motives del Trovador, ocho ma.
nos, ejeoutada por las ninas Matilde
Prats, Eloisa Colon, Mercedes Negr6n
y Gloria Garcia. Cuando vimos aque.
llos 40 deditos sobre ell teclado, icuan!
tas refexiones acudieron a mi mente :
Que labor la de la profesors, auuar
Voluntades en- tan extreCho lfmites
y ouatro voluntades sin conocimientos
Superiores! La profesora ha hecho una
verladers obra de romanos. Bien me
.recidas fuerou las felicitaciones que re
Cibio y que me complazco en- repetirle
desde aquf.
Mercedes puede estar muy satisfecha
de sus alumuas, pues sus esfuerzos han
sido coronados por el 6xito mas feliz.
Lsstima que no todos aprecien debi
damente el empeiio tenaz, la constancia
iuquebrantable, ell meritorio ahinco de
Mercedes Arias, que sabe trabsjar, no
va como profesora concienzuda, sino'
como artista de coraz6n!
Estando algo ielicado de salud Ell

bro en- la casa habitaci6n de don Ulises
