Interesting Mr. Bennett (Continued from page 22) smile, and to forget, here is a magic carpet. “He now arose with the un- studied haste of ohe who has incon- venienced a scorpion.” “My unbecom- ing name is Kai, to which has been added that of Lung. By profession I am an incapable narrator of, imagined tales. Should my feeble efforts be judged worthy of reward, those who stand around may perchance contribute to my scanty store, but sometimes this is judged super- fluous.” Can you catch from those sentences a hint of the humorous and gently ironic style? We 1 no idea who Mr. Bramah is, but we know th: he is a humorist, and an artist, and we hope his book will interest Mr. Bennett. It is quite good enough. R atpH D. Pane was once a reporter on the New York Herald. During a big fire in Paterson, he sat on a roof and watched the flames spread. Ed time they jumped a street, he ¢ “Hooray, another column of space for me!” This made the rest of us, who were merely on salary, pretty peeved. W were rooting for the firemen. But this little conflagration was too small a matter in Paine’s life to be included in “Roads of Adventure” (Houghton Mifflin Co. In that book he tells of more importa matters, such as the Yale-Harvard b« races when he was on the Yale crew, and the march of the Allies to Pekin, and his adventures gun running in Cuba before our little bush league war with Spain, and similar exploits by land and sea down to the World War. After the roving life he has led, the life of a journalist who was two-thirds gentleman-adven- turer, it is small wonder Paine settled down on his New Hampshire farm. He belonged to the old breed of newspaper men, or “war correspondents,” who sniffed a scrap half the world away, and teok an afternoon assignment to go to China or the Congo. And he was one of the biggest, the most reckless, the merriest, the most lovable of the lot. I don’t know how good his new book is. When I read it, I was hearing him talk again, across a table in Dennett’s on Park Row. It was more than a book to me. My God, the huge plates of baked beans that man could eat!

We dressed so plainly that we didn’t care to ‘visit,’ and we couldn't afford y_ amusements. Now everything is changed. We actually ve all the spare money we need! It all began one day when Harry supper an hour late. He was more I'd ever seen him before. ‘I stopped at Jack Harig’s on the way home,’ he fairly shouted, ‘and say, he’s a wiz on the Saxo- phone! He's just had it a short time but he can certainly make that thing talk. He's found a way to learn music that is the quickest, easiest, most fascinat- ing way ever heard of. Quickest Method Ever Known ““He said he learned through a print-and-picture method that took all the hard work out of music. He learned real notes— the same kind every musician uses but instead of practising a lot of scales, his practise consisted of real music. Learning in this way, he says, was fun, not work!” oucanguessthe rest. What Harry said opened up a vision of endless pleasure. We investigated this astonishing, easy, almost magical new way at once, and we found Jack hadn't exaggerated in the least. I never imagined that one could become a musician so quickly. Why, it seemed no time at all before our home became a center of good times. Our playing has also caused us to be invited every- where and to thus make hundreds of new friends. A Delightful Way to Make Money “But in addition to all this, we soon began to secure the most wonderful financial benefits from our music. For in a very short time I was asked to play my Flute and Harry his Banjo in a good six- piece orchestra that had engagements almost every night, at parties, weddings, dances, banquets, etc. We got from $5.00 to $7.000n each of these occasions. And we usually got more fun out of it than anyone there. We make enough through our music to buy us almost anything we need. “Mother has been learning to play the piano— which I bought out of my own musical earnings— and she plays splendidly in spite of her sixty years, “T'll never cease to bless the day Harry learned about this wonderful method taught by mail by the U.S. School of Music. It has brought us a new life, new pleasures and luxuries we never thought we'd be able to afford.” ame in to xcited than Learn Piano Organ Violin Drums and Automatic Finger Control.
