Give Your Piano Chance To Keep
 In Tune

The trained musician has little trou- ble keeping his piano in excellent tune. But the amateur pianist who just plays little snatches of this and that soon finds that some of the keys are in much better tune than others.
 The fault is not always due to the fact that the piano has been exposed to dampness or left in strong draft of air. Usually it is because the amateur player doesn't use every key when he plays. The musician who plays merely for his own benefit and who is far from being skilled pianist discovers that he plays better in some one key and consequently selects all his music from that key. The true musician plays all keys and has no preference for any particular one.
 If for any length of time we play almost entirely in one key the notes which are not used are bound to pro duce different sound from those which are used constantly.
 The piano, like the voice, must be evenly used to be perfect A cheap piano, we'll taken care of. will sound better if played by musician who uses all the keys than higher priced one which is only allowed to produce the notes which the amateur can best play.
 If you want to keep your piano in good tune run your fingers over the keyboard daily and try to give all the keys an equal amount of use.

If I proposed spending the evening with him, Natalie invari- ably had some other plan, the theatre. dancing or an engagement to play, bridge-made without consulting me. When he formally invited us to dine, she went along graciously enough apd once in a great while he dined with us. But it was so different from our old happy intercourse that I knew he felt shut outA-that 1 neglected him.
 When spoke of this to Natalie, she said
 II don't propose to spend my time sitting around watching while you two 1 talk business and smoke. You go to him whenever you want to, l shall not object"
 But I don't like to leave you alone. .and-I cant be happy away from you"
 Nonsense I'll do something to amuse myself"
 1 Her willingness to have me leave her hurt me Was she beginning to tire of my society? Often I had thought of begging her to spend an evening quietly St home but invariably she had already made plans, often told me what she wanted to do before I had op- portunity to even make the suggestion.
 We were very busy at the office and Uncle Robert asked me to make short trip to Boston in connection with some evidence we needed. 1 agreed readily. 1 would take Natalie. she had never been to the Hub and could interest her self in the shops and sight seeing while was attending to business.

 "I'm going to stay, just the same" retorted Mrs. Quack stoutly. If this was only bigger place with more of a chance to hide we might make home here just for this season.
