The reply was, "It would be better if you could1 keep to your own portrait, but you seem to be trying to improve upon your own face." There is a great deal in the manner of bringing truth forward in such a way that it is npt overpainted and made ineffective. After all, the public is the jury which has the casting vote. Very few individuals have any true sense of invention. And your own shadow often falls behind you late in the day. Strength, sagacity and a straight line arc the safest in the long run.

The other new fashion is as different as possible but none the less charming. A dolman wrap, narrow as to shoulder, full over the arms and finished with a straight band or shirring to make it cling from the knees down.

And it is not too much to predict that it will be a year of greater achievement, with you. Because we think of music chiefly in terms of enter tainment, we do not give it the credit it deserves for inspiration. We all know the adage, "All work and no play," and music comes under the head of play; it is a relaxation. Every one is better for an hour or two of musics better in spirit and better in mind. The Flayer-Piano Brings Music to Every One You need not be a trained musician, or have a musician in your home in order to get the bonefils of music. The player-piano has changed all that. With a player-piano you can liac good music whenever you want it, better music than any but a very few people can make by hand. But it is important to get a good player-piano, one that is rich in tone and natural in expression. Even with the great strides made in the past twenty years in player-piano develop ment, there is still a vast difference between the fine mechanisms and the inferior. At Wanamaker's you will find Ampico reproducing pianos and Angelus player-pianos, the greatest two reproducing mechanisms in the musical world. And they are associated with such noted pianos as the Chickering, Schomacker, Emerson, Haines Bros., Lindeman, Marshall and Wendell, J. C. Campbell and tho cele brated Knabc. Prices range froi $600 for a player-piano mado in the same factory that makes the Angelus to $3800 for a superb Chickering or Knabc Ampico grand reproducing piano.
