would be necessary to Join any orpanl

Trn'tlcally done, Mr. Kelly having; de.
voted several rvcr.lnn to It lurln the
Inst week. The Mendelssohn choir ha a
iremberahlp of nearly Io0 and draws Its
members from ninny walka of life, the
common bond beltis: the lov of slnKtncf,
und th Interest and clealre to fittingly
Interpret the great choral works which ure
studied. Memhera learn so much more
fian how to sin their own little part In
the rhorua. That la )erhapa one of thi
reasons for their enthusiasm. They learn
bow to liaten aa well aa to Bint;, to be
watchful arid careful, and to think at the
m time that they are Blnxlnit. 1'onr
lent rexdera If they are faltiiful become
jood onea, good onei grow gradually bet
r and better. The ear growa keener, and
Jnrmhera find themaelvea bwomlna; mor
lert to catch and appreciate the fine
(ointa In the work of othera, through
Ihelr own work In the choir. In other
sorels eviv ainer who nppllea himself
-atmot help hut expand nrtlatically. The
fi ller rung wllh the choir for many year
riTi.l always felt that ahe had learned and
enjoyed more than enough to compensate
or the time Invested. Tomorrow night
will present a scene much different from
"he one at the Auditorium at the close
of last season. A confusion of many
tongues will begin at 7:45. Old acquaint
ances greeting each cither, comparing
iimmer experiences or welcoming new
Initiates. Poon Mr. Kelly will mount the
rc nductor's stand, a new composition will
be passed out by the librarians, a tap
of the baton, a moment's silence and with
powerful attack away they go reading
It at sight. That la for about two meas
ures. Of course all the new members and
ome of the old ones get lout after the
Tirst chord, If they managed to be ready
to come In at all, and that wilt never
do. tSei they all atop and go back over it
This time It Is better and the conductor
lieums approxal as they go on about tour
bars I iirt nei Here Is a point that some
section missed, which Is picked out and
explained, then sung unci properly fitted
Into Its place hi the composition. .And so
c n. 1'etalls aie woiked out and Impressed
iiiHHi the singers, and light and nliaeln
and tonal values are sought, with the le
sult that when the choir appears tor public
performances, after many evenings of
l.ard work by each and every member,
we shall listen to something worth while.
Wllh the coed September breezes and
the return of the vacationists, enter the
musical student. There are many species
and kinds of hint ex Unit, both ma. ullno
and feminine. He ranges from the very
young se iniens up Into the grownups
of such diverse and cncertaln ages that
there Is seemingly no I'mlt for hla classi
fication. a I us first consider the c ry youny
variety. Soon ho and ahe will he seen
at any time of the day on the sidewalk,
on the street car, or watching a chance
to scurry safely across the street, lio
short and study, with u round faco ntel
freckles, wearing hla school suit, and
carrying awkwardly an Inconvenient
black case which holds some kind of mu
sical Instrument; she with rampant hair
bows unci a fat music- roll which persists
In falling or poking Into her neigh
bor on the car seat. Why do they
study music? The chances are ten
to one if you asked them you would get
the prompt reply that mother or father
said they had to. Perhaps aomowhere in
a remote- corner of the brain, he sees
himself grown up and tall standing be
fore a great audience who are enthralled
by his playing, or she pictures herself In
a wonderful sntin gown playing for a
Tarlorful of attractive guests, but these
visions occur only In moments of suprem"
enthusiasm, Inspired perhaps by some
compliment from the music: teacher. They
would both tell you If you asked thein
that they did not mind taking the lessons
near as much as they did the practicing.
Sometimes mother makes them practice,
usually she doesn't. "What Is the use of
being shut off in a room by one's self
all alone, to prurtlce when one might be
out playing with the boys or girls, whose
Jovous voices can lie heard lust outside
the window yonder. A person always
has to do the things he doesn't like to
do. and Just when bo wants to go out
and play. It Is awfully mean of some
mothers to make their poor children stay
In the house and practice a whole hour
after school. I,ots of the other girls and
boys lake lessons and their mothers never
make them practice. They have nice
mothers. Maybe when one Is dead they
will be sorry they made them work
hard and not bae any fun until after
ward. A t-ei son could prae tire after sup
per jut as well, maybe not ao long, but.
the excre Isea are easy anyway Oh, well.
If a person hag to. one might aa well do
It as soon as possible."
Th.j Chtlstmas entertainment Is ap
proaching and he and she are always on
tie program. What are they going to
do? M.ike mother and father glad they
have Fa-i d enough mone y whic h might
hive ben spent for pleasure. In order
to give them lessons, imike the teacher
glad that she worked all t'lose weel s to
show tlo-iii how, and lee themselves the
glow of having accomplished what they
Set out to do'.' Or frre tlu-y going to
make mother and father blush wllh mor
tification and wish tluy had thrown that
money In the a a, will tliev c ause Hir
teaetier to be ashrtmee, and have the feel
ing when they get through that they have
linde foola of themselves? Time alone
will tell. Now Is the t ine, lo be ready.
It la too late to practice thi lest week.
If he and she do go on to play and happen
lo stumble or fall down In tho mhldle of
It. who do you suppose are the ones who
laugh? Why the othe r little lien and
girls, of course. This Is the most com
mon species of the era I young variety.
Occasionally you finel a shy youngster
who confides, that lie really likes It and
never has to be told to practic e, because
h" wants to W-Bin more as soon as pos
sible, but when von do his mother will
us.inlly worry for fenr that he will not
live long It Is almost too good to he
true.
The re are several spec ies of the adoles
cent variety. There Is the youth who
affects a flowing tie and long hair, who
talk', walks and dreams music sometimes
nim-h better than he prae tl'-es the art
itself Here Is the earnest young man
who Is really Interested and wants noth
ing but the best, who studies music as an
art and never 1isj enough to suit him.
Thl3 kind seldom talk about it much, but
practice well and make the tcHchra feel
that It Is time well Inverted. There
la the materialistic style who think they
will go Into music as a profession be
cause they may tie able to tnnke money
out of It. not because thev find It totally
absorbing. There are the easily satisfied
kind, who tell you frankly that they do
not want lo study cluxslcal music; that
all they want Is to be able to play ragtime
well. Just aa If a well grounded technic,
careful reading, an accurate sense of
time values and a balance between mel
ody and accompaniment would not help
In that stylo of work as much as In any
other. They become suspicious the min
ute the teacher gives them anything else
to practice on, little dreaming that the
teacher Is doing so In order not to drive
nil the neighbors, himself and the pupils
eraxy.
There Is the daxzler type, who will work
well and long upon compositions for the
display of virtuosity, who aim to win the
gold medals, and to surpass other pupils
on the road of learning, and who cause
the listeners to lean back ami gasp when
they liave finished performing, not with
pirns ire at the artistry displayed, but
with amazement at I lie- skill. All of the
tyte are found, both masculine and femi
nine, hut there Is one type w hic h Is as a
rule, feminine only. That Is the soulful
types are found, both masculine and femi
mental numbers usually In a very medi
ocre manner. She dotes on this or that
romposer; she usually falls In love with
the mush: teae her or else confide to her
most Intimate friend that ho Is really In
love with her, but doesn't dare show It,
when the chances are that giving her a
lesson bores him to death. She will prac
tice docilely upon a certain type of
music, but display not the slightest in
terest In becoming a well-rounded musi
cian with a knowledge of analysis and a
nloely balanced repertory.
A famous organist living In another
city at one thne told the writer of an
experience with this tyie of pupil. She
wrote several letters to him from a ine-dlutn-six.'d
southern city telling of her
enthusiasm In organ work and how she
desired to go on and learn much more
about th!s wonderful Instrument, and that
she was looking forward to the coming
eitson. which she planned to spend In
her home citv , when she would ejrvote
herself exclusively to lessons under
his Instruction lie was quite pleased
with the letters and looked forward to
this course of lessons as not only profit
able to the pupil but as pleasurable to
himself, and In- planned many things
which he would go over with her. Fi
nally she arrived and he found himself a
little dleapixilntccl in her technical equip
ment, but the possessor of a certain
amount of talent and unboundlng enthusi
asm. He promptly gave her some of the
preludes and fugues by that master writer,
Johann Sebastian Hach. When ahe came
again be gave her some more by the
same composer She was rather silent
but said nothing. At the third lesson she
said. "I have not prepared (his Hach, I
did not come here to take anything like
this, what 1 want Is real organ nmsle,
beautiful music, nice r.emare's Andantlno!
Those are the klnel of compositions 1
went to study with you." This gentle
man Is a foreigner, and to hear his ex
cellent Bach thus maligned went against
(he grain. "I told her." b said, "that
when she studied with me I was tho
to choose what she studied, f T sale! she
should study finch, she should study
Hach. and If she did not study what T
gave her 1 would not give her lessons. If
she would study the Hach the other
things would be easy, but she could not
study them with me without Hach." She
tok a fourth lesson, paid her bill and
probably wrote home that she was much
disappointed In her toucher, whilo her
teacher confided to me In telling It that
he was very much di.-nppolntecl in her.
The older species of musical student are
usually of (he Joy forever kind. If they

NEW PACKARD "3'38"
All purchasers of last year's model were invited
to state why they selected our car. A vast majority
replied it was because of the high composite excel'
lence of all those qualities looked for in the Packard.
After placing their cars in service, ninety per cent
of these owners wrote that they were impressed most
by the Packard case of riding on all kinds of roads.
Easy riding is a relative term. The best proof
of Packard superiority is a cross country run.
A demonstration places you under no obligation.
