concerts. There's nothing but vanity and vexation of spirit about an enter tainment of that kind. It's advertised to start at certain hour, say eight o'clock, and you are credulous enough to think that the specifications will be lived up to. You break a hame strap to get there in time, and when you ar rive, at ten minutes to eight, you find you're the first one there. You sit around. waiting for an hour or two, and people walk on your feet and sit down on your hat and make things unpleas- ant as possible.
 By the time the curtain goes up, you are wishing you had possessed sense enough to stay at home But, be- ing there, and having paid for the priv ilege, you determine to hold her nozzle agin the bank, as it were.
 "The entertainment usually Is opened by talksmith. The man who makes few remarks always looms up at such entertainments, and should be taken to jail for obtaining money un- der false pretenses. When he has said all that he can think of, the art ists begin to dish up the music. It may be elegant music-it usually Is. But you can't enjoy it in comfort, for the gentleman with the large splay foot, in the seat directly behind you. persists in beating time with that organ until he drives you frantic If you turn around and dot him in the eye, you will be elected from the building.
 "Then you will find that the woman with shrill, carrying voice, who has heard better singers sits right in front of you. and she keeps on talking in a maddening way. The last concert I attended had fine contralto who sang some stem-winding songs of the kind We all like. But the woman with the shrill voice was right in front of me, and I could hear her saying: Really, you should hear Margaret Reyes or Christine Miller sing that selection; this woman Is impossible as a vocal ist.'
 "Then a man with a hectic voice and a name that he imported without paying duty on 1t, stood up and whin- nied like doggone zebra, and we were expected to believe that he was sing ing Neapolitan song. I never heard anything that filed my nerves the way that, voice did. It recalled the halcyon days when my father used to sharpen a bucksaw with rasp. Well, when he finished his first number, the ap- plause was frantic, and he reared up and did 1t all over again. Then the applause was louder than ever. and he whinnied something else. They kept that blamed pirate there for half an hour. and I don't know when sui fered so much.
 "The hall was overloaded, and was damned in the middle of a row of seats so couldn't get out without climbing over a number of ladies and gentlemen. We were kept there for three hours. and when I got out I swore by my Sunday hat I'd never go to another public concert.
 Next day I bought photograph and lot of records of the kind like, and now enjoy my music. I start It when I get ready, and quit when I am tired. No punk singers are encored. No Windy Jims introduce the singers with a few pertinent remarks. If singer displeases me. I stop the ma chine and throw the record into the alley. You'd better tear up your con- cert ticket and come and hear my mu- sic mill"
