cure the services of reliable tuner" or 'tone regulator" to care for your piano. Do not employ the irrespon- sible floating solicitor, who makes claims of having worked for some re- liable piano house Place your orders through the piano dealers direct, they then assume the responsibility. More pianos are ruined annually through incompetent tuners than from any other cause.
 The proper time to have the piano tuned is at the changing of the sea- sons, and especially during June and December
 Repairing the Piano. The moment anything is wrong with the piano the services of your local dealer should be engaged. A little wrong righted may save con siderable expense later Do not al low anyone to tamper with any part of the instrument, unless they are thoroughly familiar with the mechan- ism.
 If the tone becomes too brilliant it can be remedied by a first class tone moment one note becomes .'tinny," have it fixed. Look after the in- strument carefully! and it will give lifelong satisfaction Like any thing of any value it needs attention.
 Moving the Piano.
 Too much care cannot be exercised in moving the piano, or shifting from one part of the home to another. A man experienced in piano moving trust your instrument iii the hands of an ordinary truckman. Wrench ing or unnecessary jarring of the in strument should always be avoided. Insist that the movers handle the piano with care.

If he does not do his own trucking he will place the order with the. man who does all his carting, and you have a guarantee by so do- ing, that your piano will be in safe hands.
 Yellow Keys.
 Ivory keys will turn yellow. The piano should never be kept closed during daylight. Light and air are the only effective preventative of vel low keys. Dust will not affect them. with water or a little wood alcohol and wipe the keys. Do not use gas- olene, benzine or turpentine. If you desire to keep your piano covered with a rubber or canton flannel piano cover, always throw the front back, SD IIidI lII0 dlT anu sunlight Will TedCl the keys. The writer would here rec ommend the use of canton flannel covers, in preference to rubber, which sweats the case and causes more or Hess trouble. Canton flannel is more desirable if frequently hung upon the line so that it is kept free from dust.
 Varnish Will Check.
 Under the treacherous cline tic con- ditions in this country no manufac- turer will guarantee varnish against checking, or cracking. If the piano is kept in perfectly dry place, un- der a moderately even temperature it may never check. The manufacturer however, does not control weath sr

 New Models.
 Pianolas are now shown in both '65 and SS note models, and in cabi- net form as we'll as in com bination with famous line of pianos.
 Among the Pianola Pianos the place of honor is held by the Stein way. This famous piano has only recently been offered in combination with the Pianola but may be pur- chased now either in grand or up right form united with the Pianola. These instruments represent the very acme of luxury in the piano line. A number of them have already been sold in Bridgeport.

American Woman In Paris Gives Din

Demise. Only to Find Error.

Paris.-Many strange things happen
in Paris, but the most weird and
CHASTITY expression of novel social en-.
tertainments this season was dinner
given by a certain New York woman,
celebrating. as she thought. the death
of her rich mother-in-law. The lady
has been in Paris since the close OF
the Nice season. Her husband, who
doe not care for butterfly life SO
ciety, remains in the villa at Nice.
The other day she received a tele-
gram from her husband, which read
Mother is dead" Thinking II was
the wealthy mother of her husband,
she invited friends to dinner, saying
she was going to celebrate new and
better era in her life, which the for.
tune of her mother-in-law would bring
Some of the more sensitive guests re
belled inwardly at the idea, but the
dinner went on. Next day the hostess
sent apologies to her guests. saying
it was not her mother-in-law who had
died, but her own mother. The mis-
take arose by her husband merely re-
peating cablegram received for her
at Nice.

Real Summer Weather Works Revoiu-

Capital-Few Of Changes.

ST. Louis.--"Whew! 1t is hot!" One
may hear this hundreds OF times a
day now that Paris has had taste
of real summer weather. ! caught a
deputy going into the Palais Bourbon
with white shoes and looking quite
pleased with himself. writes the
Paris correspondent of the Globe
Democrat. The golf collar Is still to
be invented as all adjunct to the
French summer costume, but the
kummerbund Is here, oddly In vogue
with wearers protuberant In those
parts. The really classic figure is the
Frenchman with black alpaca coat.
white linen trousers, Panama hat
with rakish twist behind. an Inn
mense blue tie with white spots. a
handkerchief OF brilliant hue and de-
sign half way out of his pocket. the
whole slNmounted by gray cotton
umbrella. This venerable type still
exists. but is becoming rarer.
The modern Frenchman has taken
an inventive turn with his clothes
am leaving aside the man who has
become Anglicized by reason Of much
reading of tailors' circulars from
Bond street, and who take naturally
to his fiannelette suit in summer
he is the exception. the large excep
ton. The ordinary Partisan. II you
produce hot sun. becomes playful
sartorially. and disports himself In
the strangest garb. Sitting opposite
to me in my club is representative
