I asked next. "Well, it would be nice if a pupil could know enough to select a good teacher, to begin with, but, of course, this is like asking an in- experienced person to give you the benefit of their experience. Also, a begtgf-ner ought to be careful to get a" good instrument and he ought to deal with onirtirst-elass sellers of musical instruments. Another thing I should like to recommend is that a student lis- ten to saxophone recordings " the phonograph. He will get many pointers by so doing.. Take, for example, my Edison RE-CRE- ATION "Velma," which is now on sale. In the first strain there is "Certainly!, The trouble with most people, in regard to the sax0- phone, is that they expect to mas- ter it in ten lessons-even by mail -and, of course, this is ridieu- ions. The saxophone will un- doubtedly take a legitimate place among the instruments of the or- chestra. Already the newer schools ot high-class composers are em- ploying it in their scores, particu- larly in France, Germany and Russia." V _ Reach _-' New Customers "Yes, the saxophone is easy to play," said Mr. Wiedoeft with a. smile, as I put the familiar ques- tion to him; "but, to achieve any- thing distinctive with it, one must work hard and persistently." “Do you think the instrument worth the time and effort it might take to perfect yourself on it?" I inquired. OUR MUSICAL INSTRUMENTS! At the present time there is no more popular instrument than the saxophone. Manufacturers ot it can hardly keep up with the de- mand. The saxophone is com- paratively a"'young" instrument, having been invented about eighty years ago, by Adolphe Sax. It was introduced into the French Army Bands at first, and among these organizations it has found its greatest development. Jazz in this country seems to have stimu- lated public interest in the instru- ment. A number of readers have written us, asking for a word on the saxophone. Feeling that no more authoritative word could be given on the subject than what might be said by Rudy Wiedoeft, the saxophone virtuoso, I had a little visit with him. We can give you space and advertisements that will bring you business. _ , imes Guide RUDY WIEDOEFT TRY. IT EVERY WEEK THROUGH THE THE SAXOPHONE By D. E. Wheeler YOU CAN T "Well, I suppose you are of questions now," I said a guiltily. "Not at all," replied Mr. Wie- doeft affably. "And any readers who would like to ask me more of them, are welcome to address me at 145 West 45th Street, NewYork City." "What type of saxophone do you recommend for the beginner, Mr. Wiedoeft?" "The C Melody is the happiest mediumu-smauer varieties has not the beautiful 'eello quality so much desired, and the larger ones are perhaps too heavy in tone for the saxophtpte aspiraut." "No; it is all single tonguing; although the way it is done may sound like the triple variety. ltr- deed, I may say, that triple-tongu- ing is absolutely impossible on the s:axophone--that is, with any etteet." I "Always I try to select reeds of a golden yellow tint, and with the straightest possible grain, The darker variety which has had too much sun, has a tendency to be hard, while a reed-cane of too light a color is not summed enough. The beet has a tint somewhat re- sempling old gold." rH30 you do what is trip1e-tongu1ig?" "I have heard it asked, Mr. Wiedoeft, how one chooses a reed tor the saxophone-iw do you do it?" "That is what is called the em- bouchure, isn't it?" I inquired. "Yes," said Mr. Wiedoeft, "and the greatest care must be taken in playing the saxophone not to lose the, perfect roundness of jt--- your lip'must form a perfect 'Of." "To produce the proper tone quality is the chief diffieulty," an- swered Mr. Wiedoeft. "Ot course, staccato playing on the saxophone is unquestionably most difficult, but, after-all, hard work can over- come' this side of it; but to learn how to hold the mouth and lips, control the air pressure, and em- ploy the delicate muscles of the lips, is the principal task, surely. Some may be able to accomplish these things more or less instinct- ively, but the majority of persons Will have to work indefatigably to get the requisite eontrol." an excellent lesson in rapid tongu- ing which is something that every ambitious saxophone player tries to master; and in the second strain of this composition there is some work in quick slurring that ought to be valuable to an ama- teur." "My ignorance of the saxophone being profound, do not think it unnecessarily stupid of me to in- quire, what is the chief difficulty in learning to play the instru- ment?" "I would not put it that way," said the musician with a quick corrective gesture. "I should say that it is easier for a clarinet player to play the saxophone than for one who knows nothing of either instrument. It is almost analogous to a pianist taking up the pipe organ." "Wa have heard it said, Mr. Wiedoeft," I interposed, "that it takes a clarinet player to master the saxophone with ease." rl;IMES & GUIDE, WESTON known as tired little Melt the fat, add the flour, salt, dumplings.

I "Ben Bolt" is a song that will undoubtedly live long, and like so many of the favorites. it is because it tells a simple story that might be found in anyone's life. It is a 'tOrig-tor the time of quiet and twilight, when, in the tranquility of the sunset. we recall the days and friends who have passed. and soothed by its charm, sorrow is borne away. It is an everyday tale that the loved andtamiliar song "Ben Bolt" relates. To every generation there is a "Sweet Alice" and friends gone, and the" emotiods expressed in "Ben Bolt" have often been felt by as all. The author, Thomas Dunn Eng- ttsh remains known only through the fame of this song. He was a man who probably never really discovered himself. Literature was likely his true field, but he became a doctor and a lawyer. Leaving these professions, he became the editor of a succession of news- papers and magazines, later moved to Virginia, where he took a prom- inent part in politics, and finally returned North, settling in Newark, New Jersey. ma. In the scene where the hypnotist Svengali placed Trilby on the concert stage and through his wizardry caused her to sing so wonderfully, the song "Ben Bolt" was employed,. and soon” it was once more a general favorite. In fact it is sometimes published as "The Trilby Ballad." 3 tablespoonfuls fat, 4 tablespoon- fuls flour, 1 teaspoonful salt, 14 tea- spgonful pepper, 1% cupfuls stock., 2 culhuss diced veal, 1h cupful sliced dried mushrooms, 1 green pepper, This does not mean that its attraction lessened here. From 1850 to 1860 it perhaps was act the, height ot its popularity. We can realize how well sounding were its genteel words on the lips ot courtly ladies and chivalrous gentlemen of that period. In the North, even then the home of business, "Ben Bolt" was wel- comed as different from the every- day bustle, and in the leisurely South, the quiet pensiveness of the song was in keeping with the unhurried life. But the Civil War uprooted many customs and inter- ferred with affairs more vital than songs. It was scarcely time for singing, and "Ben Bolt" was ob- soured. In England it had continued in favor, but on this side of the water it was years later, fifty years after its publication, that it was revived with great enthusi- asm. It was used in "Trilby," George Du Maurier's famous dra- The war ended and brotherly amity took the place of strife, but "Ben Bolt" did not regain its former place.

M Veal in Brown Sauce with Dumplings Very rapid was the spread of its popularity. "Sweet Alice'? became the pet of all classes, and the lovely melody was heard every- where, in private parlors, minstrel shows, theatres, and concert halls. To England "Ben Bolt" was soon equally dear, and so popular did it become there that many people are under the impression that it is a song from the British Isles.

It was very widely read in America and Eng- land, and the author, Mr. English, thought he might increase its popularity il put to the music of a certain man named Hay. The melody, evidently unsuited for it. was'never publishr d, and the tune later printed by English himself proved to belittle better. Itprras Nelson Kneass. a music teacher of New York City, who utilized an European melody, and evolved the present well known air. , The song was included in a play "The Bat- tle of Buena Vista," which was produced in Pittsburgh in 1848, and "Ben Bolt" completely over- shadowed the drama.
