A Beautiful Volume of "Home Songs" Comes
from the Press of the Oliver Ditson Co.—
Admirably Compiled and Edited.
In the course of years many songs, both popu-
lar and classic, have held the attention of music
lovers for a period, only to give way to newer
ones as they appeared. Many songs are speedily
forgotten, never to be recalled; others seem des-
tined to live indefinitely and pass from one gene-
ration to another.
In compiling a volume of "Home Songs" the
aim of the Oliver Ditson Co., of Boston, was
apparently to collect the ever-popular songs, es-
pecially those inherited by this generation from
the preceding. The past is dear to most of us,
and these songs will awaken tender memories
in the hearts of many. The younger generation
should know the songs their mothers sang and
their fathers loved; taking them up in a spirit
of curiosity perhaps, they will discover the rea-
son for their long life, and rejoice in finding
so charming a link to a past. Not all of the
numbers are of the past, however, and a glance
at the contents will awaken the interest of all
who cherish the home spirit and love the music
of 'the fireside.
The songs are arranged for mixed voices,
throughout, and may be sung with or without
pianos, as desired. Included in the long list are
ballads of love and adventure, patriotic songs of
our own country, many of our best-known hymns,

and a goodly representation of rounds—a form
of music that furnished healthy amusement in
the past and deserves more attention in the
present.
It is almost unnecessary for The Review to
make any comment on the general excellence
of the volume from every point of view. It is
sufficient to say that it is from the press of
Oliver Ditson, to convince the retailer that each
and every song is carefully selected and edited
and that the printing is perfect, as, indeed, is
everything that emanates from this old-estab-
lished and reliable house.

A SONG THAT POSSESSES MERIT.
We have received for review a song entitled
"I Wish I Had a Girl," by Miss Grace LeBoy,
published by the Thompson Music Co., 268 Wa-
bash avenue, Chicago. The melody is pretty
and the words ingeniously woven together in the
style of the modern "novelty" song. It should
