Delicate Compliment to Pianist;
Woman Sends Him Her Ripped Gloves


There is one graceful tribute to his

OF telling about, and he AYERS that #

travels. Tt happened IN America. -
says d Pachmann in relating the tale.
and, as a matter OC fact, I don't think
any but an American woman could ever
have been the author OF an attention
so delicate and discreet and yet so
thoroughly convincing In the utter aban-
don OF its enthusiasm. On my tour
through this country three years ago. I
gave several recitals In New York. and
on the morning after the final one. a
uniform footman left a small package
at my hotel with a note written In a
refined feminine hand I undid the
package snd found a pair OF long
gloves. The note read as follows;
g Dear Mr.. DE Pachmann:
I had the pleasure Of being at your
concert last evening and derived great
enjoyment from your beautiful music
and your manner or playing it-tOO
much enjoyment by far, I fear, as the
accompanying Enclosure will testify. I
wore the gloves last evening and feel
sure that every woman present went
home in the same state However I
feel that my sacrifice was but a very
small one in the cause Of true art
Ruefully, and yet gratefully, yours,
