BY VI. ". Mount.

That trite old saying. Blessings brighten as they
take their departure has never had more apt
Illustration than in the decadent custom OF reading
aloud. Those who once enjoyed this form Of enter
tainment its loss though the pleasure
were impossible to revive.
It would appear IL reading aloud had been
abandoned more through force of circumstances
than because OF any lack OF interest in it. Women
make regular attendants at church sewing soci-
etes where one OF their number or the minister
reads aloud while the rest ply their needles. and
public readers have difficulty in obtaining audi
ences. The charm that added so much 10 the home
circle. the bond OF sympathy which held the ram
fly together in mutual enjoyment. has been almost
wholly reegated to the ranks Of public entertain
ers and persons go outside the home To seek an at
traction that formerly belonged entirely to the do
mestic hreside
Indeed. the habit Of reading aloud and OF re-
Iating tables grew from the ancient custom of col
lecting about a fire for warmth. light and compan-
ionship Out OF this congregation of human beings
grew the necessity for form of entertainment TO
Mt their needs. and minstrels and poets IN
the past who we're to attune history, fable
and epic to the measure of music. The first record
we have Of the power of reCitative poetry and
music to calm unstrung nerves and soothe mental
disorders is contained in the story OF David. when

From the fresde story teller TO the reader at the
living room esntre table has been natural progress
sion. Families had fewer outside interests. fewer
topics Of conversation and fewer books and masa-
zines some years ago. and their reading lamps and
heated rooms we're fewer also. Then. too people
who read owned individual libraries Circulating
libraries were very few. Books were costly and
not so easily procured. so that the purchase OF one
meant obtaining something that all the members OF
a family might enjoy and that IL would be worth
while to keep in library. Even when paper COW
cred novels were be had through subscription
libraries these often thrown away or placed
in the garret after they had been read aloud. Dis
tinctions were made between books suitable for
library shelves and those used merely to while
away an evening.
