The Gentle Art of Being Adapt
able.

There is a story told in a New Eng.
land hill town Of q physician whose
older patients loved him with an intense
loyalty because he was the son of their
old doctor. But since he was OF the
new school their affection was temper
ed by some distrust; his medicines did
not testify by their d~isagreeable taste
to their searching remedial value. This
difficulty, however, was easily met by
the adaptable doctor, for he added
harmless but unpalatable ingredients
to his prescriptions, the old ladies were
treasured, and everybody was satisfied.
From another little country village
a young girl moved to the city. There
she studied music, and showed SO much
talent that. she went to Germany to
complete her musical education. She
came back successful, famous even,
hailed as a worthy interpreter Of Schu-
mann and Beethoven; and then she
went back to rest for a time in the
sleepy little village with it's one quiet
street.
In her great-aunts parlor stood their
cherished piano. 1t had been an ex-
pensive instrument in its day, and it
was still capable Of melody; moreover,
these gentle ladies, who had a niece Of
international fame, made it a Joint Of
honor to have it regularly tuned. Al
most the first thing they did was to
ask their niece to play. She thought a
minute, then, choosing pretty, tuneful
songs of Rats and Mendelssohs's, she
played them lightly, and ended with
McDowelps Shadow Dance. The old
ladies were gently grateful, but their
enthusiasm was not violent. Miss Fran
els, the older, said, loyalty:
II think Olevia plays full better than
the gentleman from Wardsyille, who
stopped here last summer"
what did he play?" asked her niece,
~curiously, swinging round on the stool.
''Oh," broke in Miss Nellie, the
younger aunt, che played The Old
Oaken Bucket with variations, beaut-
fully"
The young woman tufned to the piano
again and attacked it briskly.
Afterward she explained: "Do you
think I was going to be shamed in those
dear old ladies eyes; outdone by a
gentleman from Wardsville with the
Old Oaken Bucket? Never! Some
where in the back of my head was the
tune of 'Bonny Sweet Bessie, the Maid
of Dundee and | pulled it out and
played it backward and forward. high
and low, and with more triIls and frills
than it ever had or will have again.
And they were delighted. They know
now that the money spent on my mus
ical education was not thrown away"
1t was not much to do, but then, a
great many girls would not have
troubled to do it.
