early trench journals, the majority of
which have been collected by Mr..
Charles de la Ronciere, who has de-
posted them at the Bibliotheque Ma

Music's Value in Home.
ANNE.
Jan. q.

Music is so general in its inspiring
appeal to our better emotions that we
cannot afford to neglect its cultivation
in the home. Few mothers realize the
Importance of training and association
in this direction. One ventures to say
that many men and women have been
impelled to right living and accom-
plshment of high ideals by the intan-
gible strain of music that runs like a
bright thread of sentiment through the
stress of busy days. Mechanical piano
players and other ingenious musical
devices threaten less personal partici-
patton in ouetime pleasure.

can without food. Take it from me,
girls don't want to steal. If they knew
