The Guidite World of Music i By Miss Ethel Jones , , T---- —————— The Painted Ladder Celia was strugglng wth scales when Uncle Henry looked in the window. He was painting the house and his cap and face were spatter ed with blue, and white polka dots. Ht shook his paint brush at Celia and ho said, ‘Very poor, young lady. There is certainly something wrong with those scales. Come out here and let me tell1 you something about them.” Celia did .iot have much faith in Uncle Henry’s musical abili y, but out she went anyway. ‘ Maybe he knows more than I think, she said to herself. “Now,” began Uncle Henry, ‘‘the reason scales sound alike s because j they are made alike, but yours do ! not sound like any I ever heard.” ‘‘Well, I’m sure I do not know what is the matter with them,” Confessed Celia. “So it seems, but I wi.l show you i a pattern for building them, and then they will sound as they should.” So without saying more he began to paint his ladder, blue rungs and white rungs. It looked very pretty- “Now, here we are,” “thore are only eight rungs on this ladder, just like the degrees of ycur scale. These blue ones, the color of the shutters, are the half steps and all the others, white like the house, are whole steps. Now count the rungs and see where the clue comes.” “Three and four are blue,” said Celia, ''and seven and eight. Oh, T do remember that my teacher tcld me the helf steps come between three and four and seven and e’ght 11 guess I will remember it row i thf ‘ I have really seen it in while, and blue. It makes a very pretty ladder, too. I’ll go in now and play niy scales in white and blue.” —Selected.
