In this dear little castfe in Dreamland—
The castle I'm building for you.

THE STEINWAY GRAND.
"Steinway tone tells the difference," says S. Ernest
Philpitt, Tampa, Fla., which adds: "It has taken
nearly a hundred years to develop this response from
the piano, but today, in the Steinway, you perceive
utmost perfection in piano manufacture. A few min-
utes spent with the Steinway grand in Philpitt's will
fascinate, will delight the musical tastes of the most
cultured."
