CHAPTER CCLXXIII.

 I've never in my life known Jim to do a malicious thing. But when he go to the roof he had selected l almost suspected him of one. It was distinctly and decidedly not a place for dress. The walters and the entertainers were practically the only ones who wore dress clothes, and there was the merest sprinkling' of people who wore anything more for nal than business clothes or flannels. Jim was at an advantage now, and he mellowed and expanded a bit. Big babyi" I thought to myself tenderly. Hes a regular man-got to prove himsef right. And then they talk about woman's insisting on the last word.''
 With our arrival at the roof garden, however, the evening began to take on the delightful charm Jim knows so well how to bring to any occasion My boy sparkled, told clever stories, drew Carl out in the friendlieSt fash ion and was gallant to little Daisy that, after gazing at him in wide-eyed amazement for a few moments, she threw her shyness to the winds. Animation lighted Daisy's dust and ashes to flame. She glowed and sparkied, but with a certain dainti- ness.

 Nothing. Mir Holmes: I think that you know as much as l do now probably more. We have had inquiries made as to any stranger seen on the country roads or at the railway sta tion.

PUBLIC SCHOOL MUSIC SUPERVISORS
! IN GRADUATION RECITAL AT THE
FLA. STATE COLLEGE FOR WOMEN

Why should we study music in the
public schools? The largest task is
not so much to train musicians CAL
thought that is an important phase of
the work) as to cause as large a num-
Der of people as possible to come to
love and appreciate good music. The
mental power and alertness Of the
child are materially increased as re-
suit of tonal and rhythmic develop
ment. Charles w. Elliott says Music
is the best mind trainer on the list"
On Thursday evening the school OF
music Of the Florida State College
gave public demonstration of the
training work for public school music
supervisors which is in charge of Eliz-
abeth Christina Myers. The four
young women who have completed the
course are Misses Leila Boring, Vive
Jones, Alma Richardson and Mabel
Shelter. The first half OF the pro-
gram was devoted to groups Of songs
by the various grades of the demon
stration school. These were conduct

children's voices being easily ruined
In the second half the program the
songs were sung by the Choral Club,
consisting of all students taking the
supervisors course. The graduates
proved in conducting these choruses
their understanding of the technique of
the baton and the methods of securing
attacks and shading. Miss Myers con-

quite cleverly written to show various
phases of rhythm and was also de-
light to the children in the audience.
Two piano pupils of Gladys Com
kforter gave group of solos, and
showed considerable growth in this
their second year as students. Miss
Ruth Carroll played the Soar Gavottee
with charm and the Strauss Reverie
with deep content. She closed with
Scharwenka's rythnical Polish Dance.
Miss Frances Harris played with much
vivacity and delicacy the Mendelssohn
Scherzo and good tonal work in the
Redigha Serenade, closing with Schu-
