EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH7
They Are as Good for the Soul,
Holmes Says, as Water for
the Body.

One must be educated, no doubt, to
understand the more complex and diff
ferent kinds of musical composition.
Go to the concerts where you know
that the music is good, and that you
ought to like it whether you do or not.
Take a music bath once or twice a
week for few seasons, and you will
find that it is to the soul what the
water bath is to the body. I wouldn't
trouble myself about the affectations
of people who go to this or that series
of concerts chiefly because it is fash
ionable. Some Of these people whom
we think SO silly will perhaps find,
sooner or later, that they have dor-
mant faculty which is at last waking
up, and thnt they who came because
others came, and began by staring at
the audience, are listening with a new
ly found delight. Everyone of us has
a harp under the bodice or waistcoat,
and If it can only once get properly
strung and tuned it will respond to all
outside harmonies.-Oliver Wendell
Holmes.

the park, which ride had been spoiled
by the untoward accident which de-
stroyed her hat.
why don't you 90 and get hat
any kind of hat?" he asked. "lll
be glad to pay for it, as was par
tally at fault when your hat was
ruined"
"oh, sir" Mrs. Blazes answered, Il
wouldn't dare to gc home without that
particular hat, or its exact duplicate.
My husband is very jealous. He would
be. sure to want to know where the
original hat had gone-in fact, 1t is
his favorite hat. Please, please give
me the hat"
"But tell you l haven't it. Id
give 1t to you in a minute If had It,"
wat nonsense!! the Count cried.
Mrs. Blazes was about to say some
thing, when a strange voice was heard
outside.
Right up here? Thank thee" 1t
was the voice of Amos Medders.
Great heavens!" Harry hissed.
They've come. My future father-in-
law, and my future fiancee!"
"Aha!" the Count said, malevolent-
ly. Unless you gif us der hat We
will make some trouble"
please go!" Harry begged. Please!
haven't the hat. I'll get you whole
hat store. II you'll only go!"
But they were adamant Mrs.
Blazes, neryed to desperation because
she knew she simply could not go
home without her hat, planked her
self into chair and announced that
she would stay right there until he
gave her her own hat.
An inspiration came to Harry. TAX
ing Mrs. Blazes by the arm he said:
"I'll send out and get you the hat.
I'll get that milliner to rush another
duplicate for you. Here, hide in here
for while. You understand there'd
be no end Of talk If you were found
here"
He rushed Mrs. Blazes to the door
of his own room and pushed her in
and slammed the door. then turned to
the count.
Now you may co. he said.
The Count was only too willing, but
Lucy and her father could be heard
coming nearer. Bewildered, Harry
grabbed the Count by the arm and
showed him into the library on the
other side from his own room.

the room. "Pm so nervous they'd

rible or that l didn't want them here.
If we're guilty could carry 1t OF
easily. Thus does innocence get the
hooks!"
And as Lucy and her father came
into the room he slipped out the door
leading to the back hallway.
Wonderingly. Lucy Medders and her
father parted the hangings and en-
tered Harry's den. They gazed about
them, at the stems, the boxing gloves,
the pipe racks, the pictures and all
the other fittings of bachelors den.

his hands outstretched.
"Ah, my poor, poor cousin Lucy!'
he walled.
"Oh, cousin Socrates!" Lucy cried.
How nice of thee to come"
Medders looked on with kindly
amusement. He had long known Of
Primmer's unrequitted attachment for
Lucy, and to him it seemed that the
best course to pursue was to allow
Primmer to weep it out. Primmer
looked mournfully at Lucy and said:
"As Riley might have written:
Now my heart is full of sorrow and my
soul would fafn repine
For another fellows courting that old
sweetheart OF mine."
But" Lucy smiled, 81 am not old,

Harry looked quickly at her. There
seemed to be an undercurrent OF hid

glance at her lovely face, framed in
the sunny hair escaping from be-
meath the simple Quaker bonnet, was
enough to convince him that there
had been no guile in her remark.
Lucy. In her plain, almost severe,
gray dress, with just the touch OF
white at neck and throat, and the
soft gray ribbons tying her bonnet
beneath her chin, was marked con-

But with all her simplicity of manner
she had that indefnable quality called

through the donning Of gaudy raiment

chief health officer, recommending the
adjustment of the common drinking
cup in the parks. He offered to replace
the present hydrants with a type which
made 1T possible for those desiring to
quench their thirst TO drink from the
upturned spigot, which, he declared
was in use in most of the States in
the United States.
DR.. Levy was unable 10 be present to
tell OF the merits of his suggestion
owing to a slight indisposition. and

the letter filed. 1t was decided to
