And then I knew that if I did not look I would never again be satisfied. I would always feel that I was not quite sure. Again my mind went back over the anonymous letter I had read just a little while before. I could not understand if it were from Elizabeth Moreland why she said, "Everybody in town since you have been away has been shocked and disgusted to see your husband riding with Elizabsth Moreland." She is cleverer than 1 thought if she has written such a sentence as that trying to make me disgusted as well as those who saw them together. Alice is right, Bess Moreland is certainly determined to get John by fair means or foul. Revealed by the Mirror I took a sudden resolve and held the blotting paper up to the mirror. The first words were: "Elizabeth Moreland, 182 West Eleventh street." Then the city was blank, the impressoin hadn't been taken, The first word of the telegram of the sentence I decided that it was "this," "This is no time for making our explanation." I read in the mirror. "I must not make Katherine more un- happy than she is. Her mother's will leaves her the heiress to at least half a million dollars," 1 laughed so loudly that Hannah came to the door, but I motioned her away, telling her that I was all right. No wonder Elizabeth Moreland wrote me that letter after receiving such a Jelogram as that from her lover, John is the most transparent man I' have ever known. Certainly it was no time to make a wife more unhappy than she would naturally be over her mother's death when you have found out that she has half a million dollars more than you thought ghe had. I kept laughing until I gre® hysterical, and finally Hannah, who must have stayed on the outside of the door, be- came nervous, for Alice and Charlie both came in together. By this time, however, I was weeping. "Oh, my dear, my dear, what is the matter ?" asked Alice. A tt lA AEN AAA Pit -- bow, but do not go after it. work and earn it. Br A ti rT Hello, Music Lovers!

"Let me help you take her back to her room," said Charles. . I managed to speak, saying, 'Oh, don't worry, I can go to my room. And then the comedy of it all came over me again, and I commenced to laugh. My hysterical laughter seemed to frighten them more than my weeping, and Charles picked me up without any more ado and carried me upstairs to my room, ' "Katherine," he asked, "have you gone mad? Please tell me what is the matter." "I can not, I can not, it is the fun- niest thing. Charles, and the saddest thing I have ever known in my life, and I commenced to weep again. I knew that he thought that I had gone insane and he spoke a few words to Alice. Among them I recognized the doctor's name and were sending for him. : "I don't need the doctor, Alice. If Charlie will go away and leave you and me together, I will get undressed | and get into bed.

Toronto, Canada | ? ron IR ar See Ho SHS LISS IIS ITT AHI HTH TI HII AH IIIT HHT IS Pee, Origin of Community Singing,' | Quite a lot has been written and | spoken of late about community sing- | ing, which seems tv have taken hold in a number of centres in America. | The idea comes from the Welsh Eis- teddfod, which is an epitome of the life and work of the Welsh nation. When the Welsh Celt sseeks a holi- day he finds his recreation not in cricket, nor horse-racing, nor hunt- ing, but in competitoins for singing and if contests for prizes in the realms of poetry. It is a remarkable contrast, says a writer in "The Choir." Matthew Ammold once said that | when he saw the enthusiasm these | Eisteddfodan aroused in the Welsh | people he was filled with admiration for them, since he recognized that in its purest form the great national meeting revealed much of the old Hellenic spirit--the desire for the study of literature and for the fos- tering of the fine arts. In fact, these great meetings are to Wales what the Olympian games were to the Greeks, Apart from the great yearly gather- ing held each' September there is scarcely a to or village in the Principality which does not regularly hold a meeting at which competitors enter the arena to vie with each other for pre-eminence iny music, poetry or oratory. The origin of" these meetings has never been definitely determined, but it seems certain that it goes back to Jichistorie times. Some diligent istorian has established the identity of a truly ancient bard with the com- plicated name of Prijdain Ab Aedd Maur, who is said to have lived some thousand "years before the Christian era, and who established the Gorsedd as an institution to perpetuate the works of poets and musicians, The Gorsedd is the most essential and most picturesque part of an Eis- teddfod, and it is from the Gorsedd that the latter springs. Its age is lost in antiquity, but historical ree- ords reveal that it is at least as old as the time of Prijidain, son of Aedd the Great, who lived many centuries before the Christian era. Upon the destruction of the political ascendency of the Druids, the Gorsedd lost its political importance, but still retained its, institutional character as a med- ium for preserving the laws, doctrines and traditions of bardism. To consti- tute any provincial Eisteddfod it is necessary that it should be proclaimed by a graduated bard of a Gorsedd a year and a day before it takes place. Music In Ontario Schools. Some months ago, says the editor of "Musical Canada," 'a movement was started among musicians, school educators and music dealers to im- prove the status of musical teaching in the schools of Ontario, with special reference. to.the High schools. The in- tention was td remedy the cardinal defect that at present music is not taught in the High Schools at all. The common school carries it all. t SIC Shy | p-- pression in musical sound. whistles as he goes about his oceupa- tions, the working girl sings at her work; to all of us alike the first | means of self expression are t found in music. Moreover, we hear music everywhere in nature. We all know what a ¢harm in life is given by the siveet songs of birds, while we seem to hear a music in the splash of the waves of the sea, and in the sigh- ing of the wind. There is music all around us, though seme of us are slow to hear it? And yet we must admit that the study of this art of music is not at present time a joy to the pupil, but rather, in many cases, a weari- some task. "There is only this horrid music that comes between us, mother," said the little boy in the Punch story, and his case is by no means a singular one. Often do we hear people say they are unmusical and hate music; there is no universal wish to learn the secret of the art, Organist in Church. The training of the liturgical church organist involves something more than what is included in merely play- ing his instrument. In common with other services liturgical should be played smoothly and musically. The possession of technical ability alone does not imply the possession of skill in playing liturgical services. It often happens that one with inferior technic is preferred for such services on ac- count of the taste and natural per- ception of what is best suited for such services that he manifests. It cannot ' | The boy |* Ss o be | one can play the great 'masterpieces of the organ well, on this account he will be a success as a liturgical church organist. Often the very contrary is true, Therefore the church organist must be distinguished from the organist who plays in church.
