funny old fashioned house right on the
water a young lady--that is. she was
fairly young all dressed in black and
with a sweet face, much the same kind
of sweet face that my mother has, re-
ceived us at the door and gave us a
courteous welcome.
For a short time we sat on the pi-
azza overlooking the water while father
and the lady talked and then we went
into the sitting room, and father played
me over several times on grand piano.
which seemed to me altogether too
grand for the simple little room. 1t
was curious how from the very first

look at me. but out of the window at the

palms of her soft, delicate hands.
| heard afterward that she was a
young woman who had had a great deal
of trouble of one sort or another, and
that she was very emotional and could
cry on the slightest pruvocation. | also
heard that this temperament" as they
called it, was probably what gave her
such fine thoughts and the power to
put them into such simple words.
Father left me with the sad young
lady for two days, and | must say
enjoyed the outing very much. During
my whole visit ] stood on the piano rack,
where | got the fun benefit of the cool.
fresh air and through the windows
could see the tiny waves breaking on a
long line of gray rocks at the foot of
the lawn. The lady. who continued to
cry good deal. played me over and
over again. and by the evening of the
first day she began to sing words as
she played
At the end of the second day she had
scrubbed off three verses, which. 1t
seems, told all about me, and she placed
my story next To me on the piano rack
Father came out the next morning. and
the lady played me over TO him. singing
the verses at the same time, and then
she told him that that was just what
meant to her Father seemed perfectly
delighted, and thanked the lady again
and again and tod her how really CRATE
ful he was, for although he could
express his thoughts in music, h. could
never find the right words. Then he
wrapped me up with the verses and

And now II was that ! suffered the
few unhappy days of my life. 1t was "a
strange contrast indeed between sitting
quietly on the piano rack at fathers

Cos cob and being knocked about the

The gentlemen and ladies who sat
about and sang there were funny lot.
They never seemed to care about any
thing in the morning, except when they
could get away To lunch, and after lunch
how soon The Musical Director would
let them off for dinner. Sometimes a
few of the ladies would come back early
from lunch. and while one of them would
play the piano the others would sing
and dance about the stage as If they
really enjoyed it.
There were two sisters named Gabri-
ellie who danced together most beauti-
fully; but of all the ladies of the COM

say they sounded very dun and com

musical director noticed me at all, and
then one afternoon he picked me out Of
the book and put me on the rack of the
piano.
The ladies and gentlemen were sit

and camp stools and were talking in
very high voices about the ianitor and
the cold stage and the brutality Of man

Meyer in particular But when the

Care of Oven.

An oven that is constantly in use
requires to be kept scrupulously clean.
It should not only have the shelves
scrubbed out with soda occasionally,
but in addition the shelves should be
painted with quicklime two or three
times a year. An oven treated in this
way never becomes caked with grease
and there is no unpleasant smell
when 1t is being used.

Apply sIoan's Freely For Lumbaso

Your attacks of Lumbago are not
nearly so hopeless as they seem. You
can relieve them almost instantly by
a simple application of Sloan's Lini-
ment on the back and loins. Lumbaxo
is a form of rheumatism, and yields
perfectly to Sloans, which penetrates
quickly all in through the sore, tender
muscles, imbers up the back and
makes it feel fine. Get a bottle Of
SIoan's Liniment for 25 cents of any
druggist and have it in the house
against colds, sore and swollen joints,
rheumatism, neuralgia, sciatica and
like ailments. Your money back if not
satisfied, but it does give almost in
slant relief. (Adv.(
