opens up and eases the air passages.
Harold Berg, Mass, Mich, writes: I'VE

dependency.

Miss Lou" and didn't you just hate the
sight of her coming up the street when
You were stopped from playing with
the nice, little neighborhood children to
take your music lesson?" And when she
cracked" you over the fingers with her
lead pencil when you played the wrong
notes in the "Czemy Exercises" didn't
you just want to kill her?
The poor little. old-time-y music teach
er couldn't afford piano of her own, and
so she went from house to house; and
don't you remember how she'd give you
new piece" as she called it, The
Maiden's, Prayer" or the Overture to
Poet and Peasant" and how you rushed
downtown to the music store with the
name written on little. old scrap of
paper, and rush back home again and
perch upon the piano stool and try to

pride in their music teacher" and par-
ents never tired telling about my little
