sung by Giovanni Martinelli, with an
admirable harp accompaniment by Fran

violin obbligato by Fritz Kreisler adds
an additional charm to the fine rendition
Of this beautiful song.
Mischa E1man plays delicate and
charming little "Rondino," which his

a theme by Beethoven, and then dedi-

contributes an "Andantino" from the
second of Max Rogers four Sonatas for
Violin. Roger has to some extent
modelled his style on Bach, and it may
be said that no other composer since
Bach has written any sonatss of artistic
value for the violin alone. The melody

great admirer of Roger, plays it with
sincere appreciation of its beauty.
Beatrice Harrison presents cello solos

Fathers and Baby Week
(By CORA FRANCES sToDDARD.)

Among the plans suggested for
Baby Week. which is now being OBJ
served all over the United States,
Is a Letter to Fathers" The chief
care OF the baby is additionally left
TO the mother, but this letter aims
to show that in addition to provid-
ing for the home, food. shelter and
other material things. the father must
share with the mother responsibility
for the health of his baby. The sug-
gestions are sane, practical and
straight TO the point. But one search
cs in vain the nearly seventy pages
Of the special bulletin on Baby Week,
issued by the United States Children's
Bureau. in which this Letter to
Fathers" appears. for the slightest
indication that fathers Cor mothers)
need any information or warning that
the use of alcoholic drinks by either
may endanger the life of the baby.
1t is true, as this letter indicates,
that fathers should understand the
Importance OF the mothers having
good care and advice before. during
and after the birth of the baby. that
the baby should be naturally nourish-
ed. that when substitute is ne:es-
sary it should be carefully prepared,
that the baby should have light, sun

life and health of their babies, ana
this fact should be distinctly empla-

had probably intrusted to her care,

A group of sad-faced, hollow-eyed
on-lookers watched the sailors as they
laid the little girls body down on
the edge of the pier, probably fathers
or brothers or relatives watching for
and identifying their loved ones. Per-

rather call it compassion. which made

He alone knew that his picture was

get the dirge of his surroundings, for
he laughed and bowed and waved his
hat to make himself conspicuous
among the pail of his fellow men by
his self-conscious, self-hypnotized
laughter. Others noticed it and even
the men standing next TO him, for
several of them turned to look; but
still his head bobbed and he smirked
and smiled, all the while the sailors
were staggering under the weight of
the bodies they were carrying away.
Unhappy be he who can laugh at

HERE is no music like the

when one is tired and carries, Atlas

trail park where the kiddies are play
ing--in summer, at the lake sailing
their boats; in winter, sliding down
the dazzling white snow banks. The
happiness of children is reflective.
and you will catch few Grant sun-
beams of it which will make your
heart rejoice, because is there any
thing more infectious or better

Our mother always says to us, and !
repeat it to those who do not know

tuneful in its little melody which
blossoms OF the truth.
Laughter varies-it can be just as
disquieting as it can be harmonious,
and the girl and man who laugh at
the wrong time become social mol
lusks whom we all seek to avoid,
fearing them quite as much as dis
liking them.
Sometimes the laugh of ridicule
makes you grow SO tiny you itnme-
diately become rival of Tom Thumb
and wish for all the world you had
built in your home secret passage

into dark regions where you could
not even hear the echoes of their
friends Vulcanic laughter.
Then there is the affected laugh,
which listens only to the sound OF ITS
own voice and laughs at everything
thatsis said. This, after all. is self
indulgence quite as offensive as the
habit of weeping too copiously from
self-pity or other maiadies of the
mind. An empty laugh is too often
the sign of an empty mind, while

member OF the family tree. closely re-

But a whole souled laugh which is
born in the merry heart OF you IS
veritable blessing to humanity. and to
every sorrow JOY is parallel. Whiie
there must be tears, we cannot let
them overshadow our lives and shut
out the laughter. which IS to the
world what the sun is.
