Continuing All Week
The Piano

II A4C u 1GA4 ~
The history Of the Hartman
Piano is TO be read in the homes
Of the American people, where
for nearly three-quarters OF a
century IL has been so welcome
a guest.
Strong, sturdy, outstanding
and conscientious was Hugh
Hardman, and the piano 10
which he has given his name is
an expression Of his robust per-
sonality.
Much more is demanded Of
a piano today than was the case
when Hardman was making
them In Maedougal Street, and
the Hartman has ever been in
the van of musical progress.
But its basic qualities, its
virtues Of strength, sturdiness
and integrity, are the same as
they were seventy years ago.
To the Upright, which sue
ceeded the old-fashioned
Square" has been added the
Grand, and the Hardnan Grand
Piano represents the last word
Of modern piano-maHng.
Il has taken seventy years of
ceaseless effort to bring the
Hartman TO its present stage
Of tonal perfection.
But from the very outset it
has been one of the most
sturdily and honestly built
pianos in the world. tn S 1
was above all else that deter
mined It's adoption as the OH
cial Piano of the Metropolitan
Opera House.

FoRrNIaHTLY ELECTS
Miss Hida Pratt Chosen President
at Annual Meeting Saturday.

AT the annual meeting of the Fort
nightly held Saturday afternoon, Miss
Hilda Pratt was elected president Of
the club for the coming year. The
other officers elected were, vice
president, Mrs. E. L. Sibley; secre-
tary, Mrs. H. S. Moses; treasurer,
Mrs. w. w. Burke; assistant treasur-
err, Miss Florence Walbridge.
Following the reading of the re-
ports for the year and the election of

charge of the afternoon, gave very
interesting talk in connection with a
number of pictures which were
thrown on the screen, showing the
work that has been done in some OF
the larger cities along the lines of
the playground movement. Miss
Pratt called attention to the work that
has been done in Bennington and to
the fact that Bennington was the
first town in the state to conduct the
work by means of money appropriat-
ed for the purpose. She expressed
the hope that the town would uphold
the reputation already established
and aid in carrying out the work so
well begun. Her further remarks on
the subject helped to illustrate what
isN being done to afford opportunities
for the children Of today to enjoy in
door as well as outdoor play, under
wise supervision.
AS an illustration Of what has been
done on the Bennington playground
in the way of folk dancing, a number
of small girls gave several dances
including a Danish dance of greeting
"The Shoemakers Dance at Den
mark" German, THE Ace OF Dia
monds," Danish and a Scottish dance
called THE Chimes Of Dunkirk.
Miss Edith Lyons read paper show
ing the significance of the folk dance
and the prominent place it has had il
the amusements of the people Of
Europe, where it has been enjoyed
by the older people, as we'll as the
children There is a story interwoy
en- with many of the dances and Miss
Lyons showed how the dance carried
on the theme, Miss Eunice Lyons
played the accompaniments.

a half and Patterson was satisfied.

pounds of trout in Furnace brook.
