T TE were sitting in the

thinking of the long ngo.
ber that old song we used to sing, Will?' she asked
suddenly. I pressed her hand, and rising softly put
'Love's Old Sweet Song' into my Pianola. I
played very softly as one can do simply by pressing gently on the
pedals. Then she began. Fuller and fuller her dear voice rose and, as
it did so, I increased the pressure, holding the tones by a touch of the
Sustaining Pedal. I was supporting her by an exquisite 'sustained
tone' effect, which none but a master musician can accomplish upon the
piano. As the notes came quicker I touched the wonderful Mctrostyle
lever which quickens or retards even the slightest phrase. "When she
paused I pressed it to the side and paused too. Every whispered in
flection of hers I was able to follow by means of the wonderful patented
'expression' devices of the Pianola.
"There was a pause when she finished. Then she whispered, 'What
a wonderful accompaniment I'
"It really was but the Pianola itself is wonderful. "With a little
pleasant application it enables you to reflect every phrase of a singer's
feeling in the accompaniment every efiect a practiced pianist can de
velop on a good piano. Every slightest pause, every lightest accent is
brought out with the most delicate reflection of your mood. You can
linger on a passage or quicken it. You can sink it away or swell it Jm finrfnnf'
forth. And you can do all these things through but three simple r '
levers which have placed the Pianola far above the performances of any ". sll0Ud Wlder-
