 Tt plays any tune you want, by cleo tricity. as loud as a whole orchestra and don't stop till it's turned off, and sometimes not even then" she ex- plained. 'Tt's part of great scheme for making home so attractive for you that you won't want to go out nights any more"
 And she played seven tunes all in the key of G wizz. with thes anne tempo and same tone. Everything the same, and Adolph Snuffles sat weakly down.
 Then she took him up into the sitting room and pointed out a new phono- graph.
 "Three hundred and nine records came with it." she glinted. Think of ft-brass band records, bass drum solos, bass horn duets, and everything. Won't it be glorious for you2"
 And she reeled off nine of them, all brass band ones. while Adolph Snuffles leaned tremblingly against the wall His wife went on:
 And that's not all, Adolph. The best is yet to come What do you think I've bought a ukelele for each of the three children, and they've been prac- ticing night and day. You can almost tell what they're trying to play al
