MUSICAL AMBITION
 NIPPED IN BUD

From the Galveston News. It was an evil day when Horace fin ished getting enough subscriptions to the Boys Companion by working his rabbit foot on the neighbors, for as soon as he had secured five subscriptions Horace added 40 cents to the collec- tions, per advertisement, and got
 flute.
 It was never intended either by na- ture or the Goddess of Music that Hor- ace and a flute should be combined They mixed and mingled and accord ed about as nicely as a lead bullet dis integrates and dissolves in skim milk But for many weeks Horace had
 dreamed of that flute with all the fer
 vor of dreams that inhabit the som
 nolent brain-pan of 9 15-year-old boy
 with musical aspirations.
 Horace wouldn't have admitted 1t Tor
 the world, but within his narrow chest
 his heart beat high with hopes, born
 of visions of himself clad in ire
 proechable evening dress, standing on a
 stage brilliantly lighted and playing to
 crowded house that applauded until
 the canvas flies Tapped in the breeze
 Of their approval. The hute was 1n-
 ciuded in the picture.
 It was fine flute, worth probably 75
 cents. The pasteboard box said 1t was
 trade of cocobolo wood but you could
 take a pin and scratch through the
 cocobolo to the yellow poplar beneath
 Also 1t was bound with massive Ger nan silver bands. Horace tried the flute at once His mother, who was in the act of lifting the lid off the soup kettle, forgot what she was doing and dropped the lid with crash as the steam rose and scalded her.
 She descended upon Horace, her fin
 gers wrapped in her apron, which, as any woman knows, is the remedy Tor injury.
 What in-th' name of = all that & good od-and-wonderful?" she said, are you making that awful noise about! And what's that you've got Tn your | hsnG?"

 "Wel. take 1t and flute somewhere else" said Horace's mother with de- cision. Horace went sorrowruliy to- ward the barn and sat upon a keg He | essayed 'Coming Thro the Rye. | Old Sam, the faithful family horse, had been dozing in his stall.

RECITAL OF
 FLETCHER SCHOOL

1,ba second of the series of recitals by n,lnfls of the Fletcher School of Music was given Thursday evening The parlsh house of the Church of the Advent was transformed into a woodland of sweet scented pines. Instead of the usual now CT embowered scene to greet the eye, there was only the cool green of the seep woods. But there were flowers in plenty
 for the fairies, woodnymphs, butterflies, brownies, elves and flower maids, added
 the brightening and vari-colored touch which flowers give. The unfolding of the programme showed that it was not simply d beautiful and enchanting view of fairy land but very much more, for each num- Der stood for a real test in the study Of music The costume of the herald was one of exceeding beauty, with his crim- son cloak and floating plume and golden bugle he was a fitting subject to an- nounce the coming of the lovely silver sheened queen The birth of the butter flies was particularly interesting for out of the brown cocoons sprang before ones very eyes the loveliest butterflies ever seen. And such smart little butterflies they were, in music. Perhaps the mos, beautiful number on the programme was the legato and staccato march by these butterflies It was, too, a perfect and beautiful illustration of what Fletcher music method really is and does for mu- sic development in the child.
 Although the band of brownies was de- pleted by illness. the remaining brownies looked well their part and did valiant work for their queen.
 The costume of the fairies was white, trimmed with silver, silver head-dress; woodnymphs white, with green, wreaths of green leaves in hair; elves were cos tuned in white with yellow trimming, head-dress wreaths of yellow daisies; while the little butterflies with their gold en and silver wings were lovelier than any butterfly of the air. The Fletcher girls costume of white bordered with pink roses, hair garniture of roses and gar lands of green and pink were strikingly beautiful. The midnight march of the woodnymphs, when the whole house was darkened and only the flash of the firefy lights could be seen was both unique and new and a distinctly pleasing feature. Each year the demand for more room for these increasing classes grows and the crowded and appreciative house
 last night bespeaks the opera house for next year.
 The third of the series of Fletcher
 music recitals will be given in another week.
 Souvenirs of the week were the artistic
 programmes tied with green rafier on large green gilt lined oak leaves
