Have you ever realized tlfo power Uint music has to carry the memory back years and years until the Illusion Is so realistic that when your mind returns to its immediate surroundings you realize with u start It was only a day dream that you were not actual ly and physically where your thoughts were? A few burs from one of the old songs carries you back to the old home. You sec tho fields, the river, the "ould kirk" In the hazy distance. You almost feel tho evcnlrig breeze on your cheek and hear tho familiar sounds the lowing of the kino and the bleating of tho sheep. You're liv ing' again those dear old days Just as vividly as you did long ago. Or tho strains of an old waltz re mind you of your first dance years and years .ngo. lou live over ngaln tho days before the dance when you were so busy getting everything ready and then tho great night arrived. You remember your entrance Into the bril liant ballroom. You suw all those old friends whpm ypu thought you had forgptten until now. Then the excite ment nnd the pleasure and the wonder ful dances the people you met for tho first time and the faces you snw for the last time. All this recalled by just a few bars of music. This Is one 5f the reasons why mu sic has sucha great hold on people nnd why Its charm never wearies why some music no matter how old, no matter how familiar or oft heard, Is always new. It Is a necessity thut there should bo such music In every home, and thanks to the Ingenuity that made possible tho talking mnchlno and tho plnyer-plnno the musically un trnlned aro not dependent upon their gifted and tutored friends for this blessing. Exchange Ireland LIvcb In Plenty. Although only a three-hour boat trip pepnratos England nnd'Irolund, there Is as "much difference as between ilny nnd night In the two Islands, as far ns food Is concerned, says the New York Sun. Irelond Is not rationed voluntarily or otherwise, and there Is plenty of everything, with the exception of su gar. In respect to food It Is more plens-nntly situated than the United Stntes or England, because prices have not ndvanced'ns they have In Americn, nnd are no higher than In England, where the ministry of food not only rr.tlons, hut controls prices. Ireland always hns sent quantities of ment nnd dairy products to England nnd Mill Is doing so. Amazing Nerve.

Linda lived in tho old housa wedged between two tenements. Long yenrs ngo sho hnd been the envied daughter of one of the town's wealth iest men, when tho gray stone housa was nn Imposing residence to bo point ed out with pride. Bivf now tho bushes In tho dingy garden were dust covered, nnd tho twinkling lights of the tene ment windows seemed to bo lnughlug down at the uioor old houso below. Linda, living on when her people hnd nil gone, seemed to take as yenrs passed, tho nlr of the lonely house, reserved, living within herself. And though Llndn wns no longer young, yet wns sho still not old enough to put nsldo tho dreams of youth; nnd per haps had sho not been like tho houso between tho tenements removed from life nbout her Linda's dreams might have come true. At first sentiment would not nllow her to part from the home sho hnd always known, then Selling hud be conte nn Impossibility. For ono dnr- Ing moment Linda hnd thought of renting her rooms to mnko homes for business women, which ut least would bring companionship beneath tho si lent roof. But her long sheltered nn- turo ehrnnk from tho Intrusion. Thero wns still no nctunl need, so the ldci wns abandoned. Before tho grate flro beneath tho white mnrblc mantel, Llndn sat, pos sessed of an aching longing for tho things Umt were gone. Then her Idle gnze fell upon thu murker of n book which sho hud taken from the table. t reclpo for hnpplness," sho rend. "Do something for somebody quick," Linda smiled. It sounded very sim ple, to do something for somebody, but her best lntentloncd effort usually ended In disappointing failure. Girls, from tho tenements to whom alio had mndo herself ncqunlnted nnd whom hhe had Invited In for soclnl evenings, rppenred to ilnd evenings In Linda's home anything hut soclnl, excusing themselves at nn early hour, nnd never returning. From tho Bhndowy vornudn now enme a persistent mewing wall. "A lost kitten," murmured Linda, "peihnps It mny help to do some thUi for n lost kitten," so she qpenod the benvy front door to let tho crcn ture In. It was n grateful white "kit ten, hunger was forgptten lu the Joy of nestling with contented' purrlngs In Linda's lup. Then suddenly nt tho front door camo wild knocking, pound ing ns with two Impatient fists. When the Uttlo woman ngaln opened the door a child stopped Into tho room, ii beautiful bit of a girl with tangled golden curls. "Glvo me," bIic demanded, my kitten. I followed It over herb. I saw you tnke It In from tho veranda. Glvo my kitten back." "Of course, dear," Llndn agreed. "Maybe you didn't mean to keep It," Bhe amended, "but every ono over nt the tenement tries to stenl my Flufllq uwny. Fluff's nil I've got since Daddy went to wur." Llndn knelt before tho flro gathering child nnd kitten Into her arms. "You live over there?" sho nskctl. "Who tukes cure of you?" "Mrs. McGoo promised Dnddy thnt she'd look after me," the precocious one replied, "but mostly I'm alone. 'Copt every night when Mr. Cnmeron comes to seo me. Ho promised Daddy ho would. You know Mr. Cameron?" Linda shook her head. "He's tho minister," the child conflded, "down nt tho mission. Daddy likes Mr. Cam eron. He wus good to my mother bo fore she died and ho's good to me. Ho is good to everybody. But 1 couldn't live in Mr. Cnmeron's house when Daddy wont uwny", because it's Just two rooms, you see, bnck of the mission. The old Indy who cooka fot Mr. Cameron don't like children. If he hnd a wlfo it would bo different, he told Daddy so." The child withdrew froih Linda's clasp, her longing eyes wandered re gretfully about tho cozy room. I'm 'sorry I've got to go," sho said. "It's so -nlco nnd pretty hero and you-' you're .nlco nnd pretty too." Llndn flushed with strnngo plensure in the childish compliment. Slit lnughed a happy little laugh strnlghl bnck from her girlish, yenrs. "Whj can't you stay, dear?" she asked. "It's tho tlmo Mr. Cnmeron nlwnyl comes to seo me," the child told her. "I tapped," n pleasant voice near by said, "but you did not hear. Ane" as tho door was open, nnd I could see my little cbnrge within, you may par don my Intrusion." "Why hero Is Mr. Cnmeron, comi for me, now," the child cried gleefully. "Let us stay n while, In tills pretty room with tho pretty lady." So while tho clock ticked nnd mo ments flew miraculously, the old room seemed to regain n glow of Joy from tho pnst, with tho man nnd the wom an, the child inn tho kitten sitting be fore Its lire. And tho enrnost mnn, whose kindly eyes rend human untur well, spoke of tho needs of this moth erless child, whllo Llndn, Hushing n little, showed to him tho text of hei book murk, nnd ussured him of hot readiness to respond to the needs. So through the long, silent hnlU echoes now tho laughter of a child. And Llndn, happy ns the little one, In her care, looks forwurd as engerly to, the hour when the man who Is "good to everybody," will pay his evening vlelt Fo in tho old mansion erea lovu hns come to live uvaln.
