genial host puts his whole soul into the
music, and his rendering gives his friends a
: real musical treat, which they appreciate
most fully. His hoSpitable wife looks well

mother, Mrs. Hartwell French, is at eighty

the times,'' that it is hard to realize she is
! not of a younger generation. ....Our ice
