A recent historian suggests reason
why the flute Is not popular with la
dies. Minerva In ancient Greece" he
says, "began to play the flute, thinking
II such beautiful instrument she
needs must learn 1t. But one day, look.
Ing In mirror while she was playing,
she saw to her horror that the act of
blowing the flute communicated very
inelegant distortion to her face, and In
q pet she threw the instrument away.
Perhaps the feelings Of the fair sex to-
ward the flute have been insensibly in
nuenced BY similar consideration"
