been blended out of a good brand of

perhaps, a reel musician asked to
have these things removed when
he visited our house and consented
to play. It had never occumd to
us that such things were out of
place. Now most persons have
enough respect for their pianos to
keep them free from knicknecks
that ratte and iangle and vibrate
when the instrument is being
played. ’
“'Isen You Dust
When you dust a piano see that
you do it so that the dust does
not go into the works. Dust it
with a soft duster and polish with
an old silk handkerchlpf. If a
piano case is carefully cared for
from the first it will not need to
be oiled. When you need to clean
the notes wipe them with a damp
cloth. being careful to squeeze it
out well before using, so that not
a drop of water can_.get between
the notes. Do not use soap.‘
While careless banging on a
piano is riot good for it. it is a
well-known fact that the tone is
improved with use. Don’t imagine
that you are conserving a piano
by not allowing it. to be used.
Pianos have been' known to be-

HAT claim have you en the

if you would consider thin
question a little carefully a great
deal of annoyance and alphas-rees-
ment might be avoided.
For instance. suppose a Mend in-
vites you to a dinner party. An-
other woman guest goes to the party
accompanied by one of the men

and the other woman guest, a friend
of yours. and you are ready to leave '

Should the men in question off.’

other woman offer to share him?
Should you take the initiative and
go or: by yourself? What should
you do? '
The whole thing should be man—
aged. whatever is done. so that you
do not appear to attach yourself to
the other two. The really courtooua
thing would be for the other woman
to lay: 'Why don't you coma m

and should be glad to see you safely

makes no such move. the men can
hardly do so—if he has arranged
beforehand to take her home. And
so the thing for you to do is to say
good-bye to them before you leave
your hostees’ house and. it possibly

stances make it impossible for you
to do this, and you all go out to-
gether. then it is really up to you
to make an eflort to get off by your-
self. You might say: "Now, don't
bother about me. for I shall take a
taxi." or a annoy or the subway, an
the case may be. Of course. if the
other women even then insist; “)8.
