The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1910-03-20

to a large number of musicians the
old songs are ever new. An inter
esting story is told about an old
sweet song. At a cafe in New York
amid CAVITY and music a table was
laid for fourteen guests and early
in the evening there came marching
in fourteen stately, gray haired prim
old danes, each wearing on her
breast a small badge of red. They
did not live in Boston, that was plain,
neither did they come from New York
or Chicago. The orchestra had been
playing the latest song hits when sud-
denly great change came over the
spirit of the scene. The changing OF
the knives and forks ceased Taught
er died away as all listened to the
unusual tune the orchestra was now
playing. At last the players swung
into the chorus and from the table
where sat the old danes. there came
that came that sweet old song,
Darling I am Growing Old, Silver
Threads Among the Gold"
How they did sing it. Applaus fol-
lowed applaus. However the old la
dies paid their bill each departing as
she had come. They had taught a
good lesson-that once in while it
is well to lay aside the frivolous and
the light for the sentimental and the
serious.
EASTER MUSIC.
The choirs of the various churches
are busy rehearsing their Easter pro-
grams. No doubt a number of eX-
