It is a serious mistake to keep linen
constantly in a hot-air cupboard, for,
tho it is thus always aired and ready
for use, yet it will become discolored
and the edges turn brown. if SO kept.
Many people nowadays discard linen
sheets altogether preferring cotton
ones. while others keep them only for
the summer months, using cotton in
winter, as being warmer.
In mending household linen the most
satisfactory way to do is to mend it be-
fore it is sent to the laundry, not when
it returns, starched and ready for use

Table cloths Invariably begin to wear
at the middle and in the side creases in
which they are folded. When this is the
case, the edges Of one side Of the cloth
should be turned in and neatly. stitched

By this means the folds in the cloth
will come in fresh lines and the place
of the old crease will have new lease

Papa was tired. He threw himself

Priscilla's mother was expected to

We must be all there, not half on the

are studying. Theory or practice,
whatever we attack In music, we must,
unless we have exceptional genius, give
our whole selves to it. OF course there
are players from time to time who, like
the negro Blind Tom, seem able to play
without instruction and cannot tell how
they do it. But, apart from his music,
Blind Tom was almost an idiot, and
you, Priscilla, would not wish to be
that. The thorny path, tho shorn Of
much Of its terror now, still leads to
glory in this field.
To be an accomplished musician you
must work, and you cannot quite avoid
drudgery, but the drudgery will not be
hardship as IL used to be to Phyllis.

THE plain truth is that to study
n music is not the grind it used
to be-. Priscilla, daughter of
Phyllis, approaches the piano by the
scientific modern method and by easy
gradations. Phyllis used to be driven
to her practicing and it was the bug
bear of her life. sWith watch by
her side, or an eye on the clock, she
sat on the backless music stool and
pounded away, putting her little foot
on the loud pedal that the noise might
be deeper, counting one, two, three,
four, five, over and over, till she
went on like an automaton, fingers
stunning, voice marking time, and
loathing it all the while. Very severe
teachers thumped little hands if they
made mistakes. Very rigid mothers ex-
acted the full tale of half hours and
whole hours, and scolded the luckless
girl who fingered on the way from
school and was tardy in her duty to
her piano.
AS for the neighbors, they hated it,
too. Nothing was more torturing to
sensitive ears than the dreary repeti-
ton Of five-fnger exercises, to the
right, to the left, for every house had
it's piano, and every family with daugh-
ssrs had several Of them drilling at
one and the same time

made no difference.
