Proof of His Skill RANK MILES DAY, the well-known archi- tect and essayist of Philadelphia, stepped carefully from a Persian rug of dull green and old to another rug of rich blue, for the polished leneath was dark and smooth and slippery, thera good polish there, I think,” said Mr. post, a resident of Rittenhouse Square. “Remarkably good indeed,” said Mr. Day. The host just then slipped and nearly fell, and the architect, with a laugh, v on: friend of mine has beautiful floors, and the y he sent for a floor polisher. I want these floors polished,’ he said to the led him about the house. “They are, you pei ¢, fine ones. They ought to come out 45 lustrous as rosewood. Do you think you're capable of doing them justice? Give me some prof of your thorough competence.’ “That's casily done, sir,’ the polisher replied. ‘You just go and ask Colonel Snow, next door but one, about my work. He'll tell. ye.

WORKING ON A HARD CASE The Emerson-Angelus Perfect Playing with the Touch of Human Feeling To many, music is a pleasure, the source of which must always be in the hands of another. The Emerson-Angelus, however, brings to unskilled fingers the power to give perfect technical rendering of simple or compli- cated music. More than this—by its sympathetic, sensitive touch it allows the player to put into the music his own feeling. This elusive personal element need not be sought by the player, for un- consciously, as the music becomes familiar, he finds himself “shading” it in the way it appeals to him. Here is a quality which has made the Emerson-Angelus so highly valued by those who have had long training—they can play perfectly and yet without a noticeably mechanical effect. Have you appreciated how much pleasure this Emerson Piano, so rich in its tone, combined with the Angelus, with its great possibilities, would bring to your home? ‘We will cend, upon request, a copy of our new free catalog, and the name ofa dealer at whose store you can try the Angelus.
