THE FLETCHER METHOD IS
 EXEMPLIFIED

An interesting, instructive and un-
 usual recital was given by the pu-
 oils of Miss Harion Hunter in the
 parish house Mondal evening,
 demonstrating the Fletcher method. This is as much an innovation as the
 Mbntessori Kindergarten method,
 and as refreshing in its originality,
 in that it is decided departure from
 the cut and dried system of piano
 teaching. Coordination of the senses is brought about by reaching the youthful pupil through the train ing of eye and ear, by rhythmic training, folk dances and singing games, not merely the key-striking muscles of the arm and wrist, thus awakening a stimulus to self-expres- sion. To see tots of seven and younger playing in four sharps, then transposing the composition into an- other key, is remarkable. In the
 harmonizing games, the children place a chord on the staff, then play tue SdillC Oli lilC piliiOB a. AOA SN ample, the dominant seventh chord is the key of r, fourth position. Charlotte Raible, Mary and Cath arine Favour and Mary Finn har- monized by ear the bass of num- Der of familiar songs, the treble of which were played by Miss Hunter. Accompanied by herself, Mary Finn sang Santa Lucia in an encnant- ing fashion.
 The original compositions, which consisted of a group of musical dialogues and rhythmic games, each with a real story, showed that with this system of instruction all may express the latent music that every one feels and craves to put into tan gible form. Time division, hard for little ones, and not easy for those more mature, is simplifed with the time blocks, for by fitting portions at a glance one sees the desired solution. This was illus trated by the game of Musical Arithmetic" So well are the youth ful pupils trained in this that they answer to any question unhesitat- 'ngly.
 The trios by Mary and Catherine Favour and Charlotte Raible were exceptionally we'll done The wist- ful Dolly Lost and Found" played by Charlotte Raible, The Jolly by Katharine Peach" "A Ramble,' we'll phrased by Genevieve Sisson, the rythmic Clock" by Dorothy Darrow, the light and tripping Little Masquera- der" by Norma Irwin, the Drum mer Boy" marching away gaily to untitled drum beat, by Catharine Fa- tour. the winsome Fairy by Mary Finn. were played rythmically, with grace and very good feeling.

day and mite. If mite was jest as light
as day. people would go to bed wen
ever they got sleepy insted of wait
ing for the rite time. thereby causing
CRATE Inconvenience to the people
that was still up. The most important
reason wy it gets dark every mite is so
people will all go to bed at the same
time and avoid confusion. Another
reason is to make the stars look
palmer.
Sun light is the hottest and the most
natural and the cheapest. The sun
is bigger than the hole erth put to-
gether, but wen a little cloud gets in
frunt OF it you cant even see it. This
proves the size amt everything.

werld's Highest Paid Woman WRITER.



What kind OF a man makes the best
husband?
This is a conundrum that millions
OF women are trying TO solve, and,
judging by the amount OF marital un-
happiness we see about US. most ladies
must be mighty poor guessers.
The choice of a husband is ham,
pered by one curious reconstruction
and that is, that the very qualities
that make a man popular abroad
make him unpopular at home. The
things that dazzle the world in a man,
such as beauty, social talent, clever
ness, VIII, genius are not the things
that fit him for domesticity, so that
the very attributes that attracted
woman TO a man before marriage are
the ones that are her undoing after
marriage.
Therefore. one might well say to a
maiden who was selecting her life
mate. beware of marrying a very
handsome man. II you do you will
always present an invidious contrast to
him that your friends will remark
upon. BY comparison you will seem
twice as homely and as old as YOU are
and people will always wonder as they
look upon you why he did IT, More
over. a handsome man never admires
anybody but himself. and in a family,
If there is going to be any bououet
throwing, it should be the woman who
gets the nosegRys. instead of he man.
<AiSo' HuSbdlG Will pTeefnpJ all the
glad raiment for himself instead of
bestowing it upon WHEY.
Don't marry man who is what is
called ladies' man. who is sloshing
over with sentiment, and makes love
beautifully and Economically. Women
will run after him. and he will hold
other hands than yours while he ex-
plores the psychology of the feminine
soul. Besides. the ability to make love
is an accomplishment so rare and fas-
cinatinG that no man who Possesses it
can refrain from practicins it, any
more than a man with a tenor voice
can keep from singing.
Don't marry a man who has mis-
sion in the world. All missions lead
away from home, and such a mans in
terest and helpfulness are too precious
a commodity for family consumption.
SO far as the wife enjoying his society
is concerned man had as well be
addicted to drink as to causes. Both
of them will keep him out at nights
and use up his salary. The men who
are uplifting humanity on soap boxes
at the corners of the street are gener-
ally letting their wives bend over the
washtub in the laundry. III charity
doesn't begin at home, it never gets
there.
Don't marry a man who is too clev-
er. Avoid a wit as you would the
plague. The brilliant seldom scintil-
late in the family circle and a witty
husband is apt to find that a wife
makes an admirable butt for his jokes
He will make her faults, her foibles,
| her mistakes, her most sacred feelings
the subjects on which to hang his best
stories. and there are few women who
have keen enough sense of humor to
enjoy being made figure of fun.
