Good
Morning
Judge
By Rudolph Perkins.

Mike Gill was on his way to work.
As ne passed an alley he lapsed into
Inconsistencies and the next thing
he knew he heard the doctor saw
that he could go home the next day.
After numerous inquiries Mike
learned that he had come into yfo-
lent contact with half a brick and
got the worst of IL. When he left
the hospital he bent every energy
TO find out who was responsible for
his bandaged head.
The neighborhood gossips in
formed him that one Albert Sharp
had been dull enough to hurt an in /
nocent passerby. Mike went after
Albert. The latter denied being
anywhere near the scene that day
and offered to prove IT,
"Ah am wiliin' to 'pologize for
yore haid," Albert told Mike, "but
that doan mean All throwed de
brick" This statement set Mike
thinking. With his head aching and
his brain awhirl he could not think
very straight and the result of his
delinberations was that Albert wa.
also sent to the hospital and his
head bandaged.
IF this man threw the brick, ("
the court informed Mike, you
should have gotten a warrant and
not taken the law into your own
hands."
But he TUX that brick in his own
hands" the man protested. "Lok

We are considering the other
VANS head now" the court said.
The clerk accepted s3s In cash

sion. handed out as a fine.

At a dinner party recently, follow
ing the usual lull after a big dinner
and coffee. the hostess, whose apart
ment boosted fine grand piano. be-
gan to solicit talent among those
present. There were ten women
guests. most of them quite young.
but each and every one of them
pleaded inability to produce a musical
note, either by song or plano.
isn't it stranger" said one fair
guest. Here We are ten what might
be called reasonably well educated
women. w can talk about books and
talk about plays and about food and
the latest dance step. and still we
seem, as a body, to have neglected
something that ought to be more
vital in a way-music. 1t plays an
important part in our lives, after all.
so that more of US should respond
to its charm, and be able to dispense
some Of the latter as WELL"
Adds to Feminine Charm.
At which the host projected, well,
l don't know what Is the matter with
you girls, anyway. especially you I'M
married ones. Take Marion there
(nodding in the direction of his wife),
she used to be able to play and sing.
In fact that's how fell in love with
her. But now she won't do a thing
with her music. and often long
for the old days, when she would
play some soft melody and chase
away my cares and worries.
"Blankety-blank 1t all, 1 think It
adds tremendously to a girls beauty,
don't you? And, as an element of
charm, it ought to be considered in
q girls education, not to be dropped
once she gets herself tied up at the
altar. A homely woman can make
herself the center of attraction IL she
can play or sing we'll. And a pretty
one with talent-well, she is the
bright star Of the occasion. And l
don't mean she has to have profess
sional ability, either"
Talent sadly Neglected.
BY curious coincidence this Incl
dent came to my ears directly after
had been going over some medical
and health books, and / had lust
been struck with the Importance at
tached to music by several writer's.
And i remembered having remarked
on various occasions after parties
how comparatively few girls are able
to contribute anything on such oc-
casions in a musical way. However,
1 never thought Of 1t so much as
beauty asset as a feature of edu-
cation, which 1t were decidedly too
bad to neglect. But the hosts COM
ment recalled to mind occasions
where a girl had gone up many
notches in the estimation of those
present when she contributed in a
musical way to the pleasure of the
party.
There is something feminine about
II that carries its own appeal, isn't
there? 1t lifts one above the COM
monplace, too. does It not? And the
better one performs. Nthe farther on }
Is removed from the commonplace.
And. after all. there Is hardly a house
in America Of any pretentions what
ever that does not harbor a piano.
