"Of course, if the Teller carries An
geluses as a side line, that's some
thing else again, Birsky," Zapp said.
There's big money in player pianos,
Birsky, because while in former times
people wouldn't take a piano as a
gift on account of giving their children
music lessons to get the use. out of it
nowadays they could pay large price for
a player piano and send their girls to
business college, and still save money
on it. Consequently the demand for player
pianos is enormous, particularly as here
just lately they've got EN- working by
electricity, which could run for 10 cents

things that Paderewski gets off at FIVE

Birsky shrugged his shoulders again.

he exclaimed. "A Schwarzer from the
Cannibal Islands which don't even wear

Zapp.'

is supreme. In the home their sway is never

And it is to De presumed" / suggested.
that those qualities which 60 to make the

also to the patriotic expression which is to be

their country needs the best and all that can be
offered"
yes" Mrs. Vanderbilt agreed, "the fine re-
spouse of the women of France is direct ex-
preston OF those qualities which compose the
fibre of their beings. 1t is marvellous to con-
slider the scope and the splendid fearlessness Of
that response. The war has brought about
complete social Reorganization. The men are
engaged on the battlefield. At home, in con-
sequence OF this, the women are in a majority.
Life must go on, as nearly as possible, in
normal fashion. The rhythm Of the mechanism
has hardly been broken. The women have
quietly stepped into the places left vacant by
tire men, and have taken up the occupations
where they were perforce abandoned
Women to-day are serving in almost every
conceivable capacity. They are doing work of
all scrts hitherto carried on by men-and they
are doing il quite as we'll as il ever was done.
In many cases they are doing it better than it
has ever been done. For this reason believe
that the women will not retire from the en-

Of supply when the seas are once more open to

that what is now being accomplished is some

is patriotic work Of the highest order the
women Of France are doing. And IT is work
which finely exemphes the character OF those
women just such work as those who know
them we'll would expect to find them consecrat-

War both in the abstract and concrete, must
produce a decided psychological effect upon
the people of nations involved in it. History

Birsky continued. Take that picture

Naturally there are limitations to even the
