men leave their penitence as well as
the pioprletles of mourning foi their

attendance upon early service and sew

it HER POINT OF VIEW f
The reception given by Governor and
Sirs. Stone the other evening at tin
executive mansion was a most enjoy
able affair and to some degree 'his was
due to tht fact that It was not ciuwd
ed. If llarrlsburg had not been pun
tlcally cut off In every direction the
reception would have been attended by
a gteat throng. The number of gen
tlemen who came prowling in from the
stations at S o'clock the next morn
ing carrying dress suit cases In which
reposed evening attire which the ex
igencies of a session of the legislature
did not demand, was extremely pa
thetic. The only being more disap
pointed than a man not able to
attend a function after having brave
ly determined to go. Is a woman
whose pretty evening gown is also des
tined to be unseen by th' admiring
populace. On reflection, however, theie
was one person more utterly disgust
ed with blizzards and snow blockade.
than either of the above named. He
wus the staff officer whose gay, new
regimentals were to dazzle the cap
Itollne admirers. In fact there wero
several of these officers who had ex
pected to glitter at that reception and
whose scintillations were dimmed by
several feet of snow at the dlstanii:
of fifty or more miles fiom HnrrW
burg. Talk about a girl's bitter grief
at being prevented from going to lvr
first ball nothing can approach tho
woe of the new "colonel" with his first
uniform in a big trunk and both him
self and the trunk too far from the
scene of action to be in line of receiv
ing. The governor's staff otlieers get used
to their position after 'a while, but
their first publlci appearance partakes
of the natiiienf a ilebutuntc's first re
ceptlon, and Is far more trying than
the march ol a bride down the aisle
to the altar, lie wonders whether lie
will be able to get around the loom
with all his paraphernalia, or if he will
not emulate 'the example of certain
heroes of history and fall on his sword
although not with their suicidal in
tent. Then a still more horrible fear
assails him; supposing, by means of
that ubiquitous weapon, he should trip
tip the governor's lady or some fair
member of the cabinet family, or sup
posing It should get tungled up with
the gold build system of maitlnirales
ail oss his expansive breast anil he
should assassinate Fomehody! The
awful possibilities connected with that
beautiful new sword, for which no sen
bible or aesthetic location seems to
have yet been devised, opptess him
until it Is not at all strange that he
looks so serious and determined that
the governor mentally pats himself on
(he head at the sudden conviction that
he bus chosen wisely In selecting a
staff with no frivolous tendeticle-
"Colonuls" are very thick ju-t now at
the. stute capltol. Dr. Geoig,. Kdward
Iteed, the new state llhraiun. who' Is
such a favorite In Scranton. was tell
ing with much glee that he b:ld been
addiessed as "colonel" while descend
ing the capltol steps the other day, '
"and 1 didn't wear a uniform' either,"
he added. Governor Stone Is much im
pressed with the kind things said about
Dr. Heed's appointment, and reflective
ly leniarks at each fresh compliment
on that score: "The ladles all seem de
lighted with the doctor, because' he" Is
so good looking."
This portion of the st.ite furnished
an important section of tho governor's
staff Tuesday evening. Colonel i:. H.
Hippie, Colonel Geoige SI. Hnllsleud
and Colonel C. C. Pratt, of New Sill
ford, were among those who conducted
themselves as If they had lived- In
that sort of attire, as Indeed has Col
oivl Hippie, for u goodly share of their
lives. Colonel Pratt and his beautiful
wife made a most pleasing Impression
among the Sur.iutuii contingent, as well
as among the members of the official
family, whom they met. He Is a per
sou of unusuully line Intellectual pow
ers, and' Is'deeply Interested In educa.
tlunal movements. h0 will deliver an
address In llarrlsburg before the state
Directors' association within the next
fortnight. Sirs. George M. Hullstead
was also a member of the official party
at the reception.
Sirs. Stone woie a gorgeous white
gown covered with spangles, and car
ried u huge bunch of American Heauty
roses. She Is very gracious, verv light
hearted and pleasing In her manner,
and Is making hosts of friends. When
the governor found that llarrlsburg
was Ktlllitt beleaguered city-.Tuuitday
with no prospect that many of the
people most desired could be present,
he suggested having the reception post
poned. "Dear me, no!" exclaimed Sirs.
Stone. In dismay. "We can't do that
at all; why don't you Ittiovf tomorrow
Lent begins?" "Well. 1 do trust." re
plied the governor, "thiit the people
aren't expecting me to look after
clan ch days too. I'm pietty busy f.a
It Is, but 1 suppose we'll have to have
the reception," anil have It they did,
although somewhere, on the fin, lone
mountains between Harrlsbutg and
Washington, a caterer stormed und
tore his hair because the feast was In
the refrigerator car In the back ground
Instead of being on the handsome table
at' the executive mansion.
Hut the guests blithely uti of the
goodies prepared by the lluriiBburg
caterer, or spilled them down each
other's buck breadths .or similar por
tions of their atllie and had a good
time. All except one poor lady In a
beautltul gown. Inrictil she wasn't poor,
but very plump, nnd an unfortunate
man deposited his plate of lee cream
down her ptetly shoulders exposed by
her decollete bodice. ll was a very
frosty night, and the victim of a
"Jogged" elbow was suddenly Im
pressed with the fact that the prom
ised cold wave had arrived,
A gioup In which the governor, Cup
titln Delaney and one or two Set-union
Inns stood the other evening had taken
up the discussion of lelatlve tallness
of Pennsylvania's, governors. They
have been, with but one or two excep
tions, men of abnormal height. Gov
oritur Stone laughingly remarked that
he didn't really believe It necessary
that a governor should be over six feet
and then added, almost apologetically,
that he was six feet four and a half
Inches tall. This breaks the record.
Governoe Hastings wus six feet three
and one-half, while Pattlson scarcely
reached that height. There . no tell
lug to what the next governor may
attain In the way of "perpendleulur
ness." Indeed our new governor will prob
ably go out of ofllie with a back curved
like unto the new modn because of the
necessity he finds of stooping to con-veisi-
with Indies at social functions.
They like to have him bend his tall
figure down, and all vote him "a dent."
of course, because of his charming un
conventional ways and unmistakable
sincerity. lie possesses one juf th '
greatest elements of popularity, the
ability to lememlKi- faces and the
name: which pertain thereto, and this
if not as some believe, a islfl, but a
study which even you m I may take
up with pleasure and prollt. Let's set
about it at one.. Saucy Bess.

Angelus Do vmi think that it If
advisable to play everything from
memory? I reler to piano pieces
which one has practiced to play be
fore others.
Answer. That depends upon whether
one's memory can always be relied
Mpon. There are those who awert
(but r piece can only be played with
the proper expression when the per
former has no notes before him; there
are others who declare that playing
from memory Is a detriment, since the
player's mind Is hampered by u con
stunt fear that his memory may fail
him. A player can interpret his pieces
better If he has once memorized them
sufficiently lo piny them entirely lrnni
memory In the privacy of his own
home, even If he uses his notes In pub
lic. The process of memorizing has
made him so familiar with every note
that he has a clearer conception of the
compositions and their proper inter
pretation. It Is at, present quite tho
fashion to play everything from mem
ory, even In public. Some of the grrnt
concert pianists have cultivated their
memories to such an extent that ihey
perform almost incredible feats in tnls
direction: Indeed, It Is not to be doubt
ed that their exhibition. of memory
cull forth from the public a species of
admiration not far removed in k;pd
from that which any acrobat or tight
rope performer might evoke. The
musical merit of the performance, 'ir.il,
111 consequence, the desiled effect open
the listeners. Is too often lost sight of
in the open-eyed, open-mouthed asr.ni.
Ishnienr that a long and difficult pto
grammi has actually been played from
niemoty. The worst side of always
playing from memory is that even the
greatest .-mints are limited lu rlv ex
tent of their repertoire. Certain com
positions of the gi-eni composers mo
learned as a stock in trade, as ll won.
and the almost mlnd-kllllng task of
committing them and keeping them
clearly In the memory prevents ihein
from performing hundreds of other
compositions, equally gtent. which the
musical public would rejoice In lu-ni-ing.
'ur! Itelnlcke, one of the givati t
living musicians, who for many veaiw
was conductor of the famouu Gew.ind
huus orchestia. at Lelpslc, Gerim.nv,
and Is still connected with the cele
brated (.'oiiseivntorlitm in the same
city, has touched upon this maili'- uf
memorizing in "What Shall We l"a.v"
n ioUoivm:
"I am of the opinion that one ought
not only to cultivate. uml develop a
good musical meinorv. but ought also
to strengthen a weak memorv. It Id
veiy nice not to bo obliged li, imroll
one's notes for every little musical per
formance. Playing from memory nas
also u certain charm for the mnlorl-v
ol the public. Ackpowledging ill's. I
must nevertheless complain that 'piny
ii'iT from memorv' has becoili a kin.i
of a fashion. Conductors v. ho. Pke
myself, have been embarrassed Innum
erable times by soloistM, even iio.se ,.(
the llrst rank, who forgot tlmr notes,
confusing both orchestia and leader,
who have been asked coutldciillnUy by
virtuosi to give them a prlv.n- slgii
here and there, feel very much like
saying to them: 'Slost resn.-i-d Ind
ies and gentlemen, play your m ilos. 11'
ou choose, fiom memory, for v. can
help yourselven out wheiievi r y on
memory fails you, lint In playing with
orchestral accompaniment i as Ma
dame Clara Schuman does. She Is cer
tainly not inferior to you. but she nev
ct tin less places her notes nciilj 4111
the desk to guard against all p isi.i
blllty of stumbling. It once happened
to .Mendolsxohn, even, that ti- binke
down lu his own D minor concerto.
1'uey tell me that in Ameilci a vir
tuoso would be lost from th.- begin
ning If he should make use of ii's noti- .
At such views of art cue can only
smile. If It would make enjoyment
of urt any higher to play I'im iriem
ory, every honest artist ought to lorce
himself to It at any price, but this
!. simply not the case. Who would
assert that the performance-! of tin
Joachim String quartette lo not below;
to the most lofty thai In eipreiallee
art can show? Yet thewe four artists
have the notes before their eyes. W'10
knows whether an organist, hidden
from sight, is playing fiom memory
or not? What matters it t 1 ill-.- blind,
to the near-sighted, to thov Seated at
n distance, whether th.4 performer
pluyc from nciteii or not? '"tntsc-quenl-ly,
one cannot say that li affords .1
greater and higher enjoyment to listen
10 u piece of musle played from mem
ory. It has only become a matter ol
fashion, biavura ulul report 011 the
side of the artist and the public l.as
so accustomed itself to It, little by lit
tle, that It now almost feels elilltle.l
to demand It. The chief reaso i why

connection with our musical education.
The memorizing process will bring out
certain point. that have, until then,
remained obscuie and Indistinct. How
ever between the process, of memoriz
ing a piece uml playing it from mem
ory lu public l n vast diu'erence. The
former is a duty we owe ourselves as
conscientious students: the Intt'T Is
not an absolute necessity. After all,
Is not the hydra-headed monster called
"tlie public" composed of ciealures of
habit'.' If it were a question of art
for art's mike, the public would bo
benelltted by pianists resorting to a
more frequeni use of the printed ncore
in public. Here we have conceitos by
Sgambaltl, Slartuccl, Pierue, and a host
ol others. Why does the public novel'
hear them? Mecause pianists hesitate
to plav them with notes, and have not
the courage to play them without notes,
not wishing lo trust their memory.
"f reinemb.-r hearing Joseph Wlcnl
awskl flounder around in the most
helpless sort i-r fashion in the K minor
nocturne of Chopin, until that occult
force which miraculously protects
pianists as well as Inebriates, led his
tottering steps back to the right path.
Pachmann's slip in one of Liszt's Le
gends Is still within the recollection
of concert-goo! s. The eccentric Hus
sion pianist stopped abruptly, and not
until he had performed some myster
ious gviatlons with arms and legs did
he recommence the composition. At
one of his iccltals In Ylcniui, Ituns
von Hulow "iiddenly begun pounding'
aw. -iv at a single key like a carpenter
hammering a nail. Then he made a
frantic rush for the door and re
appeared with an individual who set
about tuning the instrument. After
that performance had been gone
through with to the evident ratlsfnctinil
of the great pianist th" latter resumed
his seat and continued his work. The
exquisite little comedy had been s.
neatlv conceived and executed that
only tla- initiated saw through the
scheme and understood that even the
infallible doctor had trljjf.ied up and
suffered a temporary los-s of memory.
At' his debut in Carnegie hull, Hc.sen
thal Incidentally omitted eighteen
measures in Chopin's Hnrcarolle. In
tlie same composition both Rubinstein
and Padorewskl became the victim of
tli.it bug bar of pianists loss of mem
orv. Stemory can be strengthened by
perseverance. Hut let not Its use turn
Into abuse; for although of import
mice It is neither tho Alpha nor the
Omega of piano-forte playing."

Aii Inquirer. 1. Will you please be
so kind as to give mo through Tin
Tillinne a list ot the most approved
studies for the llrst lour or live grades
in nliilii" work? Kindly state older in
which they should be given.
Answer The use of Eludes or Stu
dies does no; pioperlv begin until tlie
pupil enters the second grade, for
which there are several collections
which are suitable. Among these 1
would especially recommend th" Hist
volume of the Selected Studies by
Czerny, edited by Germer. In this
grade.as In all the following grades.the
systematic practice of scales, arneg
glos. etc., lu all their forms must be
steadily adhered to.
For the third grade one may use ns
the principal studies tlie Velocity
Similes of Czernj, edlteil by Getmer.
They are, however, not studied in the
older of t'i-ir difficulty. With these
may be used Heller's otitis in, book two
and Hack's two-part Inventions. The
standard studies for the fourth grade
are those of Cramer, edited by Von Iltl
lovv or Germer. With these should be
used the famous Kullak Octave Studies
and the three-part Inventions of Hach,
The "Gradus ad Parnassiitii, by de
menti, edited by Tannic. Is begun after
tlie completion of the Ciamer studies.
In the fifth grade the "Grailus" Is
completed and followed by Moscheles'
opus 70 and the easier Chopin studies.
In the sixth grade one takes up the
very difficult Chopin studies and selec
tions from Ktudes by Schumann, Liszt
and others.
Tlie editions Indicated contain, it is
true, tlie choicest studies culled from
the original editions. A Judicious selec
tion from these studies, should be mado
according tu the pupils' special needs.
It In scarcely necessary to add that
pieces by the standard composers
should alternate with studies.
2 Will you also explain the ".ilu-r
pedal?"
The right hand, or sustaining, pedal
lit should never be called the loud
pedal.) should be put down after a
chord Is played, which is a change of
harmony. The pedal pioperly comes
up precisely us the chord is played.
This Is exactly contrary to the prac
tice of those not properly Instructed.
