England is losing yet another ex-
ponent of the Gregorian chant in the
person of Nation Boyce. who comes
direct from the Jesuit Church of st.
Aloystus at Oxford. The son of an
Anglican vicar (Rev. w. Boyce, NJ. A.,
Echinswell. Neyberry), MIR. Boyce be-
came a convert to the Catholic church
Just few years ago. Having received
a complete musical training from
Prof. Harold Beckett Gibbs, who is
now so we'll known in this vicinity, he
has appeared in many public and
private pianoforte and organ recitals.
Possessed of a prodigious memory and
thorough technique according to
the English press), and skilled ac-
companist, he comes to take up the
duties of Organist and choirmaster at
the church of the sacred Heart, Camp
Washington. where the choir has re-
Gently been under the direction of
Prof. Gibbs. But the talented Sister
Adele has also done fine work dur
ing the last two years. and 1t is doubt
full If there Is a better boy choir in
the city than that to which Mr.. Boyce
has been appointed. A close relation
Of Lord Alverstone lord Chief Justice
of England) and of many other cele-
brities. nothing has been left undone
to provide him with the best musical
education. He was resident pupil
with Prof. Gibbs for over four years.
and since his first appearance has at
tracted the attention of many of the
leading musicians of England. He is
not yet 30 years of age, so that the
future should have much good in store
for him. 1t has been recently re-
marked that this neighborhood has
seen more successes in the cause of
the Gregorian chant than any oher in
the states. Whether or not this be so
it Is certainly true that there is no
other locality where there are three
such experts as Father Manzetti, Prof.
Gibbs and Mr.. Boyce.
Musically speaking, next season will
be overcrowded with personalities and
events. Foreign pianists and violin
lists will vie with the orchestras and
the opera to sustain interest. The bat
tie royal will be among the virtuosi of
the keyboard, for never before have
so many great pianists been announced
for appearance here. Rosenthal, Ga
brilovitsch, Lhevinne and Paderewiski
will come from Europe, and to them
will be added our own Jeseffy, Fannie
Bloomfield Zeisler and Olga Samar-
of. Because of this formidable COM
petition Gadowsky. Pachmann, Josef
Holman and Harold Bauer have post
poned their next American tours an
other year. Three great violinists will
appear-Kubelik, Ysaye and Caesar
Thompson, and Leoncavallo will come
with the famous La Scala orchestra
from Milan. Besides these artists the
usual large number of lesser lumin-
aries will struggle for attention.
When washing fine china dishes, do
not place them one upon another after
after wiping them. Piling plates and
saucers together while they are warm
is apt to crack the glaze. Therefore,
spread them out to cool before putting
them in the closet. 1t requires some
care to wash cut glass thoroughly.
Apply the water with soft brush and
wipe the glass with a fine towel. Par
a nOn-resinous wood, such as box or
bass wood, in the drying process. 1t
cleans out all the corners and crevices
that cannot be reached with a towel.
After wiping it, place the glass in a
bed of the sawdust and allow it to
remain about half an hour. Spread
the sawdust out to dry after using it.
If this is done it can be used any
number of times. After taking the
glassware from the sawdust. whisk it
of with soft brush and polish with
a cloth.
All buildings that should be smooth
and creamy, such as custard, rice and
tapioca, ought to bake or steam slow
ly. If they are cooked rapidly they
are apt to curdle.
Grease stains on kitchen floor are
difficult to remove by ordinary means,
but they will generally come out with
hot solution of potash. II one APP
plication is not enough, use a second
or even third. Sometimes the solu-

leave yellOwish stain. To avoid this,
mix some lime with the solution,
until thick paste Is formed. Let the
paste remain on the floor at least
twelve hours. 1t Is better to use a
weak solution of sal soda and fuller's
earth on very nice floors.

Few things clog a waste pipe SO
readily as lint. Old scrub cloths and
wash cloths are apt to shed lint and
thread. These going down the waste
pipes with refuse water are apt to
cling and twist around the joints.
They attach to themselves all small
particles that but for them would pass

scrubbing cloths should not be used
In house where there is plumbing.
Dishchoths. also, as soon as they be-
come linty, should be destroyed. Wash
tubs are apt to become either wholly or
partially stopped up where there is
much lint from the articles washed
In them. Because the refuse pipe of
