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. Large Selection of Artistic Menu. After the lesson, I tell Annie to ments Here for Your Selection. practice and I get up to go. Annie's papa has gone out and I remember that I was hungry two hours ago.

Only yesterday I gave away my brass bed CHERRY 882-W to polish and they want $19 for it . For $7.50 I bought an agate top for my kitchen table. Forty-eight dol- lars it cost tar to buy a dinner set. Some luck! My husband just went down and left me without a cent. I'll .— pay you next week. all right, no?" "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. Why Not a Period Phonograph?
