it( about a dozen families. Maybe it
is not so with those who have become
hardened to the trade, but I, being
newly initiated, seek to tied grace in
the eyes of the twelve housewives
villose little daughters' musical In-
tildes arc hazarded to my care.
It is Sunday, I:30 p. fit. I have al-
ready pulled myself through five les-
sons. I walk tip to a modern, semi-
detached, all improvements, double
garage, house. In the hall I meet
my patroness on all fours, washing
the stairs.
"Hello!" I sing. out merrily, though,
in truth, I am not so merry.
"Annie!" she shouts at the top of
her lungs," "Your piano teacher is
here!"
Annie comes front somewhere and
presents her grimy self to me.
"Hello, dearie," I say kindly. She
does not answer but gives me a shy
"Now, go wash your hands," I or-
der. Annie is an obedient child. So
ale far, so good.
Then begins the monotonous drone
— I and 2 and 3 and, etc., until An-
nie's throat is dry and she excuses
herself to . get a drink.
This act
arouses the anger of Annie's mother.
"Annie, why do you bother your
piano teacher? Is that an Annie! It
takes all my strength to make her
practice!" Annie barely escapes from
the kitchen with her life, and we be-
gin to count again. Now and then
the monotony is interrupted by a re-
monstrance of mine.
"What's that note?"
Pause—then, from Annie, "F."
"That's right, go ahead, 1 and 2 and
— I"
So we continue, Annie and I, placid-
ly content till Annie comes to a line
of music that she doesn't know. The
counting is not monotonous now. it
is well interspersed with interjections
on my part and meek answers from
Annie. I become irritated. I call
upon the gods to witness Annie's
stupidity. 1 clap my hands—and sud-
denly from behind I hear a sharp
"Nu?"
I wheel around in my seat. An-
nie's papa has been standing behind
me all through my little exhibition of
impatience.
"I knew she wouldn't know," he
roars. "All she likes is the street.
Just give her the street with her
street friends. But I'll fix her; just
tell me she doesn't know her lessons.
I'll, I'll—." He pauses out of breath
and stalks out of the room.
"See?" I say to Annie in a sympa-
thetic tone and I quietly show her
how to play the puzzling line.

papa has gone out and I remember
that I was hungry two hours ago.

"011. yes," I assure her brightly.
"Goodbye."
I go down the clean, well-scrubbed
stairs, dazed with the maze of figures
flung at me and faint with hunger?
Somehow or other, on these occas-
ions, I can't help wishing that I were
an experienced "strictly business'
teacher. I ant an optimist, however,
and take it for granted that Sundays
like mine these last few weeks are
only a sort of initiation ceremony.
