l,fl played. "I will try nKuln."
i;nt the Jrky wny Ilea plnycd the
sAti't little melody did not sound
iniH'h like the clear, rlpplliiK tone
jnoiliiccd by Professor Curl Wagner.
There was rather a pained look
on the professor's face as he bada
good-dny to his fair pupil; It cer
tainly seemed to his masterly mind
that she had no Idea of harmony.
Ilea felt rebellious as she wnlked
down the street, with her music roll
tucked under her arm. "I've a
great mind to five the horrid muslo
up," she told herself. "No matter
how porfect I have my lesson at
home, the minute I sit down to play
It for him, while he looks at mo with
his melancholy eyes, I just cannot
seem to play a note correctly. How
I wish I had been well when I was
a HchoolKlrl, so I could have been
nil through with music lessons
now!"
Although Boa had been taking les
sons a short time the was really
making remarkable progress. When
she had told Professor Wa;;n"r shu
felt ashamed to begin mnsl when
she wus over 20 years old he had as
sured her she would doubtless b
much better than If she hud. be
gun In childhood. Bea had grown
very fond of tho kind and patient
man who never complained, no nat
ter how many mistakes sh ma !e. ,
IXm't cry, dear llttl Ilea.
"If he would only 'smile, how
handsome he would be. He never
seems to notice the pains I take with
my appearance. Why, I have worn
a different waist every time I have
taken a lesson and I don't believe he
lias ever noticed how I look."
However, Mlas Bea was a wise
young lady, who knew the only way
to win her teacher's affection was
through her music. Her ancestor
wero not musicians us Carl Wagner'i
bad been, but Bea had lots of deter
mination. When another year had passed
Peu usked Professor Wagner to give i
tier one of Mozart a moat difficult
scores. He had tried to convinco
her that she would not enjoy this
iisson, but she told him she should
try it at least. Day and night Bea
practised tho beautiful masterpiece
until she was certain the professor
would bu muda happy by hor won
derful improvement. "If I can only
play that way for hlni," she whls-i-tied,
us she rang the bell. The
girl told her the professor was out,
but would bo back directly, and ush
ered Bea, Into the mu:;lc room. Bea
sat down and bur, an to play her
lesson, softly, then forgetting where
she was, she put hor whole soul la
it uud played ns never baforo.
She was aroused by a loud "Bravo,
bravo, my brave girl," and t:pring
ln. to her feet there utood Curl Wag
ner w ith admiration In his eyes, and
a rare smile on his face.
"My dear Bea." ho said, reaching
out his hands, which Ut?a had often
compared to gigantic spiders, wan
dering over tho keys, "how did you
learn to play like this?" HW sur
prise and gladness were so apparent
that Bea could do nothing but burst
into teurs, which was really tho best
thing that she could have done.
Muslo was forgotten as tho pro
fessor drew the pretty figure to hint.
"Don't cry, dear llttlo Ilea," he said.
"I have been a blind Idiot," and
bending down he kissed the rosy
face that was hiding on his shoulder.
After a few minutes Bea raised
ber happy tear-stained face. "Dear
professor," she Bald, "I hope I won't
ever make any more discords."
"You won't, my child" he answered
with a far away look In his beautiful
-'yes, "for true love can make
naught but perfect harmony."
Nothing: Klse.
Young husband: I told the gov
ernor I thought It would bo wis..' !f

Young wife; And did h endorse
'he opinion!
Young husband: Oh, yes, ho en
dorsed the opinion alt right. Town
and Country.
Not Enduring
"He used to say," sho sobbed, "be
fore we were married that his love
would b more enduring than ever
lasting granite.
"And hpsn'l it been?" asked the
dear friend.
"No," she replied between sobs.

Woman's Shape ISeprodticcil in n
Dressmaker's Dummy.
In the old days when a woman was
malting a dress for herself the opera
tion of fitting was always per.'ormed
by calling In some obliging jvrs :i.
who would shape the cloth over the
person for whom It was designed. Or
sometimes It was necessary for 'he
amateur to pick out from her friends
somo woman of the satin general
shape who would offer herself us the
model to rtand for an hour or two
while this tedious process was sub
mitted to.
Later she arrived at a more dis
criminating period, when she hud to
supply herself with a dummy en
which to shape her clothes whl'e In
the course of construction. Theso
things made In different sizes which
were kept In stock, for a while an

to her own lines to satisfactorily take
her own place. Now, however, sho
has grown more particular, and uho

lines accurately, l.'nder ordinary cir
cumstances the services of a sculp

these c:id.i, but a St. Paul, M'.ue..
l:ir.n has recently patented a machine
by which such a dress form may bo
made directly from the model lu r
teir. This is done by supporting a
trar.iework around tho lady's t'erm,
and fining the same with a plas'.'c

ation Is much the same as that of
