PIMPLES ON FACE 3 YEARS

EVER TAKE A MUSIC BATH?
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
ficult 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
week for few seasons, and you will
find that 1t is to the soul what the
water bath is to the body. wouldn't
trouble myself about the affecta-
tions of people who go to this
or that series of concerts chiefly
because it is fashionable. Some
of these people whom we think
so silly will perhaps find, sooner
or later, that they have a dormant
faculty which is at last waking up,
and that they who came because 9TH
ers came, and began by staring at the
audience, are listening with a newly
found delight. Everyone of us has
harp under the bodice or waistcoat,
and If 1t can only once get properly
strung and tuned it will respond to
all outside harmonies.-Oliver Wen
