This was the frank proposition offered,
"I need the moncy. I'll come" said the girl. "But you won't mind if I try to make you like the things I do, will you?”
We settled that I was to arrange the first programme. And then she was to begin to educate my ears. That first evening must have been hard for her, 10r i demanded sev- eral shallow. French songs, Mas- senet's "Elegie," and the "Marche Lorraine." Tinkly, sentimental, sweet music but having a certain distinction. Then the ballet music of "Coppelia," including its waltz with which every musical French child first regales the family. And lots of Liszt, especially the Son- netto 104 and. Number 2 of the "Liebestraume," not the popular Number 3. And Charpentier's "Depuis le Jour." And the "Medi- tation" from "Thais."

This is not a music story, but a true account to show that we all have perhaps a musical taste that may be educated." That there is need of young men and women to train us oldsters, not technically but by the power of contagious enthusism and illuminating words. The young people often need the extra money; and above all they need our sympathy and under- standing. In the long run one wishes to be judged by one's peers, but until that happy moment comes, the musically blest must raise up their own daily judges. And if they can gain monetarily at the same time, so much the bet- ter. Every home needs its own in- terpretative musician who is far from expensive at a few dollars an hour. Is not this an odd mo- ment's useful occupation for any creative piano student who can interpret musical ideas and pass them on to others?
