"I'm sure-1 don't understand why It is that girls now-a-days go with such grubby hands," declared n nice looking old lady, whoso own fingers and gener al appearance bore every Indication of most scrupulous care. "Why I saw ti girl In the ear yesterday," she con tinued "whose hands had bluish black splotches over them, which looked like Ink. Kven her nulls were horribly stained, nnd todny Mary N wus call ing on Jean nnd she certainly had lingers that looked ns If she had been digging potatoes with 'em. 1 feel like telling her mother. However sho came In on a bicycle nnd maybe she got the grime In that way. A wheel Is respons ible for most all kinds of marks I'm told. And "there are others too,' she added. "That wasn't dirt." exclaimed one of her listeners. "Don't you know what was tho matter? Why those stains show she Is an amateur photorapher. It's the ambition of every girl now to go around with fiendish looking spots on her hands so thnt everybody will know sho de velops her own photos. Dear me, you wouldn't have her go to the pho tographer would you grandma May? "Well I would if they looked like some pictures Mnry Man showing," frankly replied grandma. "They had a lot of water blisters, and In one, a man didn't havo nny feet but they were tacked on to the horse in a place where ho couldn't wear feet unless he stood on Ids head." "Oh! well, It Is a fad now to develop your own plates," explained the youngre lady, "nnd you have to do It If you own n camera and want to be up to date even If vou do go round with your hands smelling like a glue fac tory and burn holes In your best gowns nnd spill ncld on the now Bokhara rug and look as If you were a cam paign speaker and somebody had been throwing Ink instead of mud. Yes you can take off the stains but you don't want 'em off." "H'm;" said grandma expressively. These aren't the times when people hide their lights under a bushel or any thing else adapted 'to concealment. Everybody who hns nny sort of a twinkling, foolish little light, lets It shitie as voluminously as It will. Once In a while some person with a big S0 cnndlepower Illumination doesn't fully exercise Its searchlight possibilities but stays In his quiet tent of self-restraint and serenity nnd allows the little lights to believe they are dazzling the world. It Is a time when the wo man who .knows a fow German or French phrases, produces them for the edification of those In her Immediate vicinity. If' she has over been across tho water, even If close Investigation would reveal the history of a solitary early voyage hither In the steerage, she Is contlnunlly saying, "When I wns abroad." If she ever, by any pos sibility, was In the same city at the same time when some' distinguished personage was present, she Introduces subjects that will ennble her to suy "When I mot Mr. So-und-So" or "Lord This or That." I know a woman whose favorite topic of conversation Is about the time when she met Anthony Hope, lun Maclaren, Sarah arand, Alphonso Daudet and a few other literary lions at a dinner In London." Sho knows, and everybody knows, nnd sho knows that everybody knows It is pure romance, but sho con tinues to cling to this darling of her Imagination, to the weariness of her friends. Another likes to tell that she patron izes a famous Now York tailor, when thoso who know her beat say that she fastens the mark of the firm's name In ench new gown, removing It from tho predecessor, an'd that how she secured tho little gold lettered ribbon Is a mystery. She docs tho same thing with hor hats though Just what per manent satisfaction sho thus obtains Is another mystery. . m This Is a day when men like to tell of their brilliant colleglnto advantages, the vonderful athletic reputntlons they once had, and tho grcnt business op portunities they have enjoyed and when they arc not averse to having It known, thnl their one-time superior social fa cl'llles are not to bo overlooked. It Is a time for exploiting everything, nnd nearly everybody falls Into tho trap occasionally and docs somo small self advertising. Now and then when some horrible example In the shape of an undeniable bore shows to what length ono can go In such matters does one realize how tho habit grows nnd tightens Its Influence about the per sonality. Perhnps, ufter nil. these co lossal bores whom wo now and then meet do servo a good purpose In show ing us the possibilities wo may reach, but alas, wo cannot "see ourselves ns Ithers see us."

U What Is meant by "Har mony'."' Answer Harmony Is the science w hlch treats of chorda.tsevoral musical tones heard simultaneously) and the munner in which they should follow one another to produce tho best musical effects. :.'. Is Harmony n study Intend ed only for those who wish to learn how to compose music? Answer By no means. As well say thut grammar Is a study intended only for those who expect to become au thor?, editors or public speakers. Har mony Is the grammar of music und should he studied by every student of music, and it should ho taken up very early, ns soon, In fact, as the rudiments have been mustered. The ability to readily analyze chord-combinations makes one u ready reader at sight. As I said In a recent answer to a question with reference to the proper use of the right hand pedal of the piano the sus taining pedal It Is Impossible to learn how to correctly uso the pedal without a knowledge of harmony, and the quicker plnno students recognize this fact and act upon It, the better It will be for themselves nnd their listeners, since no fault perpetrated In the name of music Is more abominable than the mis-use of tho pedal. To tho organist a knowledge of harmony Is, If possible, still more necessary. The different parts of the service have to Uo fre quently joined together by short Im provisations, songs out with piano ac companiment have to be adapted to tho organ, etc., all of which make a know ledge of harmony Imperative. Indeed, no person, whether Instrumentalist or vocalist, can become nn acceptable musician without possessing somo knowledge of Harmony and Musical Form. II II II J. S. C. Iv. Why do music teach ers have their pupils write their counterpoint In open score, using the different C clefs Insteud of writing In open score, using tho commonly employed treble and bass clefs? Answer Counterpoint demands u melodic and free nnd Independent movement of each of the parts, and hence It Is neewsary to write In open score, that Is, to give to each part soprano, alto, tenor and bass, a separ ate staff, sin e In this way the move ment of each part can be Indicated and recognized without confusion. Tho best method of writing counterpoint Is to use the treble or a clef for the so prano, the alto clef (middle C on the third line) for the- nlto; tho tenor clef (middle C on the fourth lino) for tenor; nnd tho usual bass clef for the bass. Although the C clefs, alto and tenor clefs, aro no longer In common uso they aro still used In counterpoint because the usual ranee of tho nlto and tenor parts may be written with their ru spectlvo clefs on the staff of llvo lines and four spaces without using as many added lines above and below as would he necessary with the other clefs. This Is the real reason why the different C clefs were originated In the first place. Previous to this century the parts In vocal music were always printed In their respective clefs. I'rout, In his treatise on Counterpoint, says: "While tho author has endeavored to afford all possible assistance to the learner, ho has not the slightest toleration for tho Indolenco which will not take tho DIG FOOD SHOW.

Every ono who aspires to be a musician ought to he able to read nnd write the C clefs Just as easily as those In CI nnd F. Thoso who do not choore to undergo tho slight labor Involved In learning these clefs must study Counterpoint from some other book than this." II li II Vocalist. Why do people say "Orand Opera"? Is there any other kind? Answer There are tw kinds of operas, "grand opera" and "opera I'omlque," or comic opera. In the latter the dialogue portions are spoken, not sung; in "grand opera" the dialogue portions aro sung to u peculiar style of music known as "recitative." The most comical part of "comic opera" is the fact that it need not be comical at all; It may. In fact, be as serious as the grandest of the "grand operas," yet If the dialogue Is spoken It Is called "comic opera."
