A Pleasant Valentine Social

On Valentine evening most de.
lightful entertainment was given by
the Christian Endeavor Society at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. D. R. Read.
In the reception hall, parlor and
dining room the color scheme of red
and white was most beautifully carried
out with pear blossoms, red verbena
and hearts, softly shaded lights adding
to the effectiveness of the scene,
Among the many interesting contests
the most amusing were the Trial Of
Fortune" and that in which each guest
displayed skill in dressing a clothes pin
like doll; the winner were Miss Lillian
Carroll and Mr.. D. r. Read, the former
receiving a toy soldier. the latter a
"suffragette"
Delicious refreshments were served
in informal picnic style.

MUSIC LESSONS OFTEN LOST
Writer Thinks Children Should Have
Easier Tasks and Shorter Hours
of Practice.

The musical education OF the child
we must remember, is, IN nine cases
out of ten. plus uantity-something
in addition to an already complete
course Of study laid out by that ex
acting and often heartless person
known as the educator. II invades
the play hour. makes 1t by no means
small exactions upon the already tired
brain, and often proves more destruc.
tive OF the central gray matter and
more wearing to the nerves than all
the rest of the child's curriculum put
together. Think of the poor tortured
little spine and the dangling legs on
the high piano stool for an hour at q
stretch! What a nervous strain and
worriment, to drop a note here and
there. as grandma drops a stitch. and
be obliged to 90 back again and again
to struggle with the passage until
time, lingering, reading and all the
technique Of execution are pronounced
satisfactory!
With less exacting music and short.
er hours Of pr: ctice. have no doubt
that quite as much progress would bs
made by most children In the long
run. Nothing is gained by exhausting
nervous energy and wearing out both
brain and body. Unless child has
extraordinary aptitude and an inalien.
able love for music. too much Of q
good thing" will simply disgust him
or her with the entire study.

With such record unsurpassed IN
the history of American tennis, Nc
Loughlin holds the pride of place as
the greatest player in America today,
IN honor which he has well deserved,
for he has tried hard and left no stone
unturned to attain his desired end.
In 1907 Mclaughlin was ranked thirty
eighth. The following year he was
not ranked at all. In 1909 he was
ranked sixth, the next year he rose
to fourth place, and last year he was
runner-up at Newport, being beaten by
Larned in the challenge round, and
therefore received the second place.
It has thus taken Mclaughlin just five
years to advance from thirty eighth
place to the top OF the ranking list,

ers of the younger set that the new
champion was enabled TO reach the goal
of his ambitions, in spite of his bril-"
liancy, opens up brighter era for the
future of American tennis. Whereas,
year ago, the American tennis world
was still depending on their old relia-

in international competition, and vain
players of class to ultimately take the

small hope of being answered, they can
now behold the coming champions to

Youth has been served, and Maurice

The evolution Of this younger set
into the championship class marks an
epoch in American tennis circles in
more ways than one. The failure of
the cold guard' to lift the Davis cup
from the antipodes year ago and the
subsequent success of the English
team in taking the cup away from the
Australasians during the past winter,
coupled with the certainty that Amer

chances for gaining the international
trophy next year look rosy indeed. No
player on either side os the water is

If drafted player is retained by a
major league club for full season, the
club having title to his services may
transfer his services to any club it

A drafted player cannot be released
to minor league club for year after

When major league club returns n

Farrell, who will forward to the secre-

ment for the amount of the original
