the advice to the trade in the center circle is "con-
cMitrate your uiergi v s on the half dollar music
scries; a demand cr.'ated is a profit earned." A
song of Charles Wakefield Cadnian just issued is
"Memories," the words by Nelle Richmond Eber-
hart, who has often contributed some of '.he
dainties lines for to be set to music. A song by
Cornelius Rubner is "When You Wander Through
the Fields," and in the opera songs there is a
"Mignon" number, "Ne'er Dreamed the Ten ler
Maid," the translation of the words having been
made by Charles Fonteyn Manney, of the Ditjon
staff. One pretty number is "Rendezvous of the
Roses," called a flower song for the piano, by
Walter Rolfe, and two other piano numbers are
"Valse Gracieuse," by Miner W'alden Gallup, and
"Round Dance," by Gustave Lazarus.
The May number of The Musician contains an
interesting article by Arthur Elson on "Richard
Wagner in Caricature." Another article that will
be read with interest is "Prodigies or Musicians,
Which?" by Herbert William Reed. "Fre.ich
Music After the War," by Arthur de Guichard,
is interesting.

George Kernard Shaw was invited by a friend
one night to hear a string quartette from Italy.
Expecting a treat, he accepted the invitation.
Throughout the program he sat with a stony look
on bis face.
The friend, to draw a little praise from him,
said, "Mr. Shaw, those men have been playing
together for twelve years."
"Twelve years?" said the other, in an incredu-
lous voice. "Surely, we've been here longer than
that."
