must of necessity advance ere long, as the out-
look is for further advances in the prices of the
raw materials. We have been compelled to work
overtime in order to meet the demands made
upon us, and are at the present time somewhat
hampered in securing competent help. In our
scarfs there is a large amount of hand work,
particularly in fringing, and it is not every girl
that can become a competent operator, and all
require considerable training before we consider
them expert enough to do the work properly. It
is this great care in construction that has made
our product so popular with the piano trade

to note that M. Savart, the French expert in
acoustics, sought to discover the great secret of
violin making by a series of experiments. He
changed the details of shape, tried every con-
ceivable kind of wood, as well as silver, copper

Cremona school are dwelt upon with such an
exceeding amount of detail as to delight the
connoisseur. The differences in construction and
tone in the instruments of all the most famous
makers are concisely and reliably indicated, and
there are also carefully edited biographic de-
tails. For the maker, seller or user of the violin
this volume is invaluable and it should prove
very popular. It is copiously illustrated and sells

avenue, said to The Review recently: "The
manufacturers were held up by both the lumber
dealers and hardware manufacturers all of last
year, particularly the latter. We found it al-
most impossible to obtain a sufficient amount of
claw feet and glass balls at times, but now we
have overcome that difficulty, and from now on
will push our factory to its fullest limit. We are
putting out many very handsome styles this
spring, designed to harmonize with the popular
designs of pianos, both as to wood, finish and
architecture."
