1t seems as IL the piano had really
"gone OUT for good. 1t is only in fat
houses that 1t Is heard often enough
to worry sensitive ears, and where, q
| few years ago, every miss over six
years could thump distressingly from
notes. now the majority of girls tell

They play the harp possibly. bridge
probably. golf surely, but the piano
seems TO be suffering from a siege OF
neglect and II mania for professional
ISM. a few old fashioned folks among
us are beg .lning to feel that the reac-
ton has gone almost too far.
No one. of course, wishes to see a re-
turn OF the days when every girl. de-
void o. musical talent or not, was made
to hammer out exercises and pieces"
on the long-sufferins instrument-only.
in most cases, to drop the whole thing
with relief as soon as she married.
But it Is becoming quite a rare thing
nowadays TO meet the girl who can
unpretentiously sit down and play a
pleasant tune. or accompany her own

evenings at home, or with friends. We

Very few girls who sing, either, seen

some one to accompany, and they must
practise the songs with him or her be-
forehand, and they must have suit

somebody to turn over the pages be-
fore they will consent to delight our
ears. In days now past every girl who
sang played her own accompan!ments

The elaboration Of the modern ac.
compartment may have something to

Old-tlme "accompanlments" did not
usurp the place of the melody. and de-
mand symnastic displays OF high
order from the player But the grad
ual decline OF the piano has more to
say to the matter. The modern girl is
so philanthropic and committee-ridden

Less Laughter Nowaday..

A learned author has recently pub.
lished a treatise on that mystery of
all the ages, human laughter, and we
regret to find It is his serious opinion
that laughter Is dying out among civil
lied peoples. Laughter, we are told,
Is caused by things which illustrate
something in the nature of n defect,
n failure to satisfy some standard re.
qulremcnt as that of law or custom,
provided that it is small enough to
be viewed as n harmless plaything: or
- 1t Is said later on. something which
falls to comply with social require
ment, yet Is so trihing that we do not
feel called upon TO Judge the shortcom.
Ing severely. Starting with this axiom.
Is 1t not possible that with the advance
Of civilization and the general spread.
Ing OF culture among all classes the
time must come when there will BE so
very little "harmless Infringement OF
the normal" that we shall find our.
selves with nothing more TO laugh
at than the tedious anecdotes o. our
ancestors? Imagine world where
everyone is just as perfect and normal
as ones self. and one Is constantly
convinced OF laughterless millennium.
But We cannot constrain ourselves to
agree with the author that laughter Is
dying out in this fashion. The vigor
OF laughter was to the youth Of the
world; but the chuckles OF middle life
and the spreading smile Of old age
are rs sincere expressions OF merri.
mcnt as the most bolsterous laughter.

in Chester County In its State they are

Such CRAFTS grow at the rate of five
feet a year. while seedlings grow very

Seeding pccans will consume twice

Nor Is this all. Seeding pecans are sub.
