of
Sweet Music.

HEART SONGS is not mere collection
of music and words 1t is book com
piled directly by more than 20, 900 people,
who, in sending their favorite songs, told
qUhy they sent them.
From the lone cabin on the trackless prairie
from thesnowy wastes of Alaska-from
the mining camp amidst the pines of the
lofty Sierras-from the coral strand of an
island in the far Pacific, SO remote that
the ships come only once year (if they
do not forge)-from the garrets of Lon
don and Paris, with only the stars above
from the sandy deserts of the Orient,
somehow seemingly forgotten by even
God himself-came these outpourings of
the human heart-from the men and
women who loved them-and the sing
ing of which ofttimes saved their sanity
and faith in Heaven
Every song in this wonderful book has had
some sacred memory-some touching
experience = some sweet and hallowed
association = connected with it in the
hearts of thousands. 1t is their song of
oy-of sorrow-o of nkse:ving-of
love-of bereavement-of home coming
of re-union-of all the tender scnti-
ments that lift the human heart in worship
to its Maker. 1t is for this--by inspir-
ation-that this unique volume is entitled

photography. which reproduces faithfully
every color in the object photographed.
Last nights entertainment consisted Of
a number Of slides reproducing famous
paintings in the museums Of France. A
French lantern was used because until re-
Gently America possessed no lanterns
which were not too hot for the delicate
plates manufactured from the autochrome
plates. Each painting reproduced stood
out upon the screen in all the majesty OF
its many shades Of color Modern mas

ing succession, 10 the accompaniment OF
spontaneous applause every time some old
favorite appeared. Even the Mona Lisa
came back 10 greet its admirers without a
scratch or the alteration Of a tone. This
