New Britain people are honestly ! fond of music. This has been shown on many occasions, New Britain has its musical experts, like other cities New Britain has it's "bluffers," too, whom seem to think that 1t is quite necessary to have a knowledge and appreciation of music and to let everyone know that they have such knowledge and appreciation. A person of this species of ''bluff'' who has been seen at many of the musical affairs open to the public, and who is wont to express erudite opinions in loud tones wherever peo- pie might hear him, was sitting the other day in semi-public place lis- tening to another person, evidently a stranger, playing the piano. When a certain selection was finished the "wise guy" walked up to the pianist with great dignity and gave vent to something like this: T flatter myself l am somewhat of a musical critic. I desire to commend your execution, your interpretation, your general musical ability and your choice of Re- lections. I enjoyed that last little thing you played in the depths of my vorite of mine--a thing with every note and shade of which I am fla miliar? Will you play for me Par sons Home Sweet Home'?'
 The pianist looked up seriously at the wise person.
 Parsons Home Sweet Home is just what have been playing" was his reply.

 She's little mite,
 About three years old.
 Or maybe two,
 Or three and half,
 More or less.
 Her fathers an editor
 And he's proud of her,
 And he ought to be.
 But he doesn't know
 How smart she is.
 (And when he reads this,
 He'll be surprised).
 She went shopping
 With her mother,
 And they called on Dad In his office.
 And her mother talked
 To her father, .- And the young lady
 Talked to the reporter
 Who's writing this,
 And he asked her,
 Are you ready for Chrlstmas?" And she answered, "Yes"
 T got a dolly,
 I opened the drawer
 In the bureau
 And there it was"
 And then she smiled
 A rougish smile
 And grew confidential
 As she whispered,
 And under the couch
 I saw lots of things"
 And now she thinks Santa Claus
 Came several days .... Ahead of time
 So as to be sure
 He wouldn't be late
 Because of lots
 Of extra business,
 And who knows. Maybe she's right?
