out of his ring and went to the jeweler
to have it replaced. Returning home
he found the lost set and, putting it in
his mouth for safe keeping, hurried
back to the jewelers. to have that set
used instead of the new opal. Rush
ing into the store he said: Say, I've
found the old set. so don't use that
now one" He attempted to rcmove
the stone from his mouth, gave gulp,

Rather Embarrassing.

A Cambridge young lady attending
church Sunday evening, sat directly oe-
hind tall handsomely dressed stran-
ger who had a piece of raveling hang
ing over his collar. Being one of those
generous hearted. whole souled girls
who grow to be motherly old ladies. c.
friend to everybody in town, she
thought how glad she would be if she
could do so much for her father if he
should come to church with a raveling
hanging down his back, so when the
audience arose from prayer she con-
cluded to pick it off. Carefully raising
her hand she gave it little twitch
but there was more of it than she sup
posed and foot or two Of it appeared
Setting her teeth she gave another pull
and about yard of that horrid thread
hung down his back, This was get
ting embarrassing, but being determ-
ined she gave it another yank and
discovered that she was uuraveling his
undershirt Her embarrassment was
SO painful that chloroform could not
have alleviate1 her suffering nor pint
of powder hidden her bushes when the
gentleman turned with an inquiring
look to see what was tickling his neck

THE TRIBUNE REVIEW.

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: Allow me TO offer my congratulations. The
first number or your Weekly Review is most in
teresting, valuable and satisfactory in every way.
Though OF journalism for nearly a generation
have not lost my interest Every feature
and Improvement introduced have noted and
studied with something of the feeling and spirit
of the chess devotee who, though out Of the
game himself. watches every move as keenly
the PLAYERS themselves. Some OF the late jour
nalstic moves have not think been altogether
creditable but decided progress has been made on
the whole In my judgment the literary review
which YOU have just started SO ausplciously is
one of the most useful and desirable of all the
possible improvements The necessity which has
brought ii into existence is striking proof Of the
elevation of public taste and OF the -pread of
nghtenrnent. 1t would seem TO negative John Rus
kin's assertion that the warlike nations are the
only promoters OF high civilization

The musical season thus far be pro-
ductive principally Of pianoforte recitals and from
that point OF view Nine. Zesler's concert yesterday
afternoon al Mendessohn Hall quite in the
order OF things But the recital in itself differed
SO widely from all that has gone before il that II
stands alone. What the abilities Of Nine. Zeisler
a pianist made known 10 the local
audiences long before yesterday with an artist
OF her caltbre every new presentation is Of In
terest. even though her interpretations be known
intimately 10 the auditors Such the case at
this affair. where with few lapses-due principally
to mediocre compositions-she succeeded in holding
the attention throughout the entire long afternoon
Her programme began with that airy caprice by
Saint-Sasns airs from Giuck's "Alceste.' which
she played with rare grace Then followed that
tremendous last sonata by Beethoven. a Titanic
work which taxes the resources Of the most able
and intelligent Of pianists- Nine Zeisler handled
il in a mastery manner; and what her reading
lacked il poetry it atoned FOR by a noble breadth.
There little sentiment in this playing OF the
sonata; but if at times the outlines were uncor-
promising and severe they at least defined classi-
cally the heroic contents.
After this and in rather awkward contrast. came
a brace Of numbers by Schutt, the latter OF which
abounded in banaIity that II evoked a recall
The former OF the two. a theme and variations
with fugato coda. showed little inventive
ability but some skill al handling The succeeding
Chopin group opened with the Nocturne Opus ST.
No p which revealed touches; the But
terfy Study was taken az whirIwind tempo. with
rather d1sagreeabIe oFeraccentuation or rhythm:
besides this. II sounded bit brutal az times. and
at the close the tremendous speed almost proved
disastrous. The familiar A Flat PoIonase was de-
IIvered with beautiful command of all the effects
"a striking broadness freedom from the hurry
usual 10 this piece and careful grading OF dy-
narlics So we'll it done it actually sounded
new.
The second half OF the programme was made up
of a I.eschetsky Etude two selections by Mosz-
kowski and the Rubinstein False Note study
which was done dashingly. For the close there
was the Strauss-Tausfg waltz. Man Lebt Nur
Einual.'' which Nine. Zeisler played with an adj
nirable OF interest and charm. For encores
she pleased the enthusiastic waiting ones with the
little posthumous Chopin Waltz. Opus 70, No. I.
and the inevitable ''Marsch Mlitaire," which she
plays inimitaby. Several of the numbers were re-
peated. and there much applause.
