that when presently an infants howl
penetrated into the dining room Ethel
rushed franucally upstairs. and Ger
aids anger revived sufficiently to take
him into the drawing room and there
cause him to play Chopin's Funeral

Suddenly there was a violent attack
on the door from the other side and it
was burst open by Ethel, who came in
with a rush and a scared face.
"Oh. Gerald baby's choking. oh, he'll
die. I'm sure he Willf she cried.
Hurriedly dispatching a maid for the
doctor, Gerald rushed upstairs to find
that his son and heir had got the mouth
piece and guard of his feeding bottle
firmly wedged in his mouth and was
getting black in the face. How he had
done it, heaven and itself only knew,
but babies are marvellous creatures.

A Contrabass soIoist.

The musical world has a new player
of the double bass who is said to be the
equal of the famed Bottestini. His name
is Sergei KuSSeW1tZky, and he hallS
from Moscow. He has recently played
in Berlin and is recorded with having
made an instantaneous and pronounced
success a success that was deserved,
too. for he is a full-blooded virtuoso--a
great artist" The same German critic
who makes this declaration continues:
s'Kussewitzky draws tone from his
unwieldy instrument richer and fuller
than a cello tone, throbbing with life
and warmth: he has technic remark
able in it's perfection. To player OF
stringed instruments his technic is very
interesting for he does not paw the
notes with his whole hand, as orchestra
contra bass players SO frequently do, but
fingers them as 'cellist does. A rapid
run in the first position he brings out
clearly, requiring. of course, an enor-
nous stretch and great independence
and fiexibility as well as strength of
fingers.
There was something exhilarating in
his jumps; making those half mile
slides from the nut to the ends of the
fngerboard. his hand would come
sweeping down and hit the note on the
head with unerring certainty every time.
His double stopping was perfect, his
harmonies were clear as bell, and he
has a brilliant trill In short he has
the technic of first-class 'cellist.
mo less remarkable is his command
of the bow. He uses a longer and light
er bow than the ordinary contrabass
bow but he holds it in true contrabass
fashion He has a beautiful legato,
and he plays detache, staccato, arpeggio
and spiccato like violinist.
"Bottesini be it remembered, played
a small three-stringed bass which he
tuned to fifths Kussewitzky uses thin
ner strings than the ordinary double
bass player, but his instrument is full
sized four stringed bass. He played a
concerto by Handel. Max Bruch's 'Kol
Nidrel,' and pieces by Bottesini, Laska
and himself. He phrases as a true mu-
sician only can. and he plays with great
warmth and abandon. Chicago Tri-

Then Mrs. Sinclair wished to cut
some bread. and picking up the bread
knife (Which Gerald had used for the
salD, gazed at it critically and laid it
down again. Then she rang for the
maid and told her to bring a clean
bread knife
This sort of thing would have gone
on all breakfast time if it were not
for the fact that both husband and
wife noticed a book in the room As
it happened it was the only book in the

the way, is always such a nice, friendly
present to give.
wen. as said husbands and wife's
eyes alighted on this volume together
and in consequence they both rose to-
gether and walked to the side table
where the book lay. Mrs. Sinclair
seized it first, but, seeing her husband
was on the same quest. she turned her
nose up and released her hold and
walked away to her breakfast again.
Gerald picked up the book and also
sat down, and then opened it 50
that the title page with Gerald N. Sin
clair written on it could be plainly
seen by his wife.
He studied his name himself for
some minutes and appeared to find it
most diverting. He finished his break
fast with his interesting companion

gave Ethel the opportunity of ringing

apparent zest
The air was almost blue when Gerald
took UP an old black Guilty clay pipe
