which was honored by the presence Of

clou of the evening was tour de force
by M. Bemberg himself. He handed q
sheet Of music paper and a hat pin
to the grand duchess. saying: "Will
Madame la Duchesse prick holes on
the scale. just where and how she
likes? ! allow her four lines" The
duchess. greatly puzzled. did as she
was asked. Then M. Bemberg begged
to be excused for quarter of an hour.
at the end of which time he came back
and sat down before his piano. He
had given the right values and music

pin-holes. and bad composed an air out
of them, which he played. and which
proved to be well worth hearing. The
lady at once claimed partnership in
the work and took the quaint score
