Many stories are told of how the com
poser Brahms treated pianists aud
singers who were eager to get his criti-
clsm. IL one of these aspirants for his
favor was fortunate enough to find him
at home and be received, Brahms first
concern was to seat himself on the lid
of his piano, a position from which he
rightly deemed few would have the tie
merity to GUST him. If this failed, he
had recourse to the statement that the
instrument was out of tune "0h. that
does not matter" remarked one cour-
ageous individual. Perhaps not to you,
but it does to me-" replied the master.
On one occasion he was just leaving
his house when a long haired youth,
with a bundle of music under his arm,
hailed him with, Can you tell me
where DR.. Brahms lives?' Certainly"
answered the master in the most anna
BILE manner. Gin this house, up three
flights" And, SO saying. he hurried
away.

The closing of the bank has not

the blow seriously. Every fraternal
