We did lament, amongst other things, the tendency of some of our friends to report a great gain from a tip on the stock market or the purchase of a gown at a sacrific sale when it is too late for us to der’ any personal advantage from the in- | formation. The men home in fair sea- son, Edith asking Bob how he had come out at two dollars a hole, and, albeit Sam had told me the: ¢ play- ing for five, I kept silence. It does occur to me now, however, that there is no reason why I should suspect Sam of being saintlier than Bob. For aught I know the stake may have been ten.

Baird Leonard. Notes in Ether I went to a musicale the other eve- ning because I think music is so im- proving, though I really don’t see how people ever get so they understand it as some claim to do. I have an immense respect for those who scem to know every tune that's played, what it’s supposed to be about, and who wrote it. It’s all I can do to recognize one of Minuet’s things, though I do know he wrote a lot of dance music and even had an old-time jig named for him. Some of his stuff is kind of “catchy,” too. It’s a pity he didn't try a fox-trot or two, but I guess he was mainly interested in keep- ing his own dance popular. I don’t sce how it is possible for any one to figure a piece of music up right out of his own head, but I guess it must be pretty easy after you get the hang of it, or else guys like Sonata and Noc- turne couldn't have doped out so much stuff. It seems to me that Opus and the rest of these birds have a monop- oly on the music game. I see this fel low Opus is breaking his kids into the business, too, and he’s got enough to qualify as an A-1 Mormon. I heard a picce the other night by Opus XXV and I suppose there must be a lot of little ones still growing up. Well, T guess it’s all in getting a start. BL R. P.
