In this connection Mr. Hamilton
thus illustrates: "a pupil once asked

found that her own piano had not
been tuned for years, and that her
ears had become SO educated to false

That the musical situation Is most

tour. which embraced most of the ter

enthusiastic with the improved con-
ditions over former seasons, and as
this concludes his twenty-sixth year

In a talk with Mr.. Bell he says: 81

dition was especially noticeable in the
Middle and Western States, which GER
tainIy have a big lead over the self
styled cultured East in good music.
"In the smaller cities throughout
Ohio, Indiana, Illinois. Iowa and
Nebraska, cities OF fifteen to nifty

past the engaging OF one celebrated
artist at a cost of eight hundred to
a thousand dollars was looked upon
as a great adventure and still
greater venture by the executive
committee of the local music club,

tracing a complete series made up

the sudden demise OF the entire Z. C..

days when music in these cities was
considered a luxury. only for the

THE most conclusive argument for

fact that in many places where
courses have been in vogue for d
few years the public has been edu-
Gated to the point that in securing
choice reservations there exists an
element of the survival OF the ittest,'
with the result that as soon as the
series is announced there is a de-
LUCE OF mail orders for choice loca-

exactly what the Russian revolution
has done to the Russian people.
When one arrived in Petrograd last
January he found mobs of civilians
and soldiery smashing and robbing

looting of the wonderful wine cellars
of the Winter Palace. They were
wild. dangerous mobs that worked
in Petrograd in those December and
January days. They showed particu-
lar preference for wine and cham

the entertainment OF the Rasputins
But that would not have been half
so bad. The Bolsheviki handled the
mobs on this score quiet easily, al
though in one case. there were no
less than 19G calls for help received
at Smolny in one day, the day when
the wine cellar smashing beat all
records.
1t was on that day, however. that
the mob turned from the smashing
OF wine cellars to the smashing OF
the former Czarina's private cham
bers and the wonderful works of
art IN the palace. Here was a typi-
cal. wild mob OF the French revolu-
ton. 1t was disgusting. abhorrent,
repulsive to see that mob at work.
