A January Letter for E, A. Kieselhorst
Just Catches Up With Him in St. Louis
It Was Sent to the Fiji Islands but Missed Him There—Wearing the Leis in Hawaii—Chicker-
ing Chosen as Official Piano of the St. Louis Municipal Opera
LOUIS, MO., July
S T. Kieselhorst,
president
19.—When E. A.
of the Kieselhorst
Piano Co., and his wife were returning from the
South Seas, where they had seen everything that
was to be seen, they stopped at Honolulu to see
what the Hawaiian Islands had to show. And
there they were met by Dr. T. F. Arnold, for-
merly of St. Louis, spine-adjuster extraordinary,
who has cast his lot there and he and his wife
took the Kieselhorsts under their wings and for
nineteen days helped to give them the time of
their young lives.
Came then St. Patrick's Day and the tourists
were at the dock to sail on the Maui for San
Francisco and home. There a photograph was
taken of Mr. and Mrs. Kieselhorst with a couple
of leis apiece, one given to each by their host
of the Moano Hotel and the other two by Dr.
and Mrs. Arnold. They registered happiness
and the steamer tooted and they sailed away.
One day last week Dr. Arnold walked into
Mr. Kieselhorst's office and handed him the pho-
tograph. The doctor is staying for a week and
then he is going back to Honolulu.
Sailing the South Seas is a good way to find
out how a letter follows a fellow around and
finally catches him, maybe. There was a letter
that was written to Mr. Kieselhorst on January
19, addressed to Suva, Fiji Islands. It has just
caught him here in St. Louis.
There was a man, John D. Horst, who sold
pianos for the Kieselhorst firm for eighteen
years. He was a Hollander by parentage, born
in Dutch Guiana, South America. Last Fall he
went on a long-desired visit to Dutch Guiana.
Before Mr. Kieselhorst started in December, he
called up Mrs. Horst at Kirkwood and ascer-
tained Horst's address and mailed him a route
sheet, on the chance that they might meet some-
where down there.
They did not meet, but Horst wrote a letter
from Paramaribo on January 19, addressing the
letter to Ed. A. Kieselhorst, "Fiji Islander,"
Suva, Fiji Islands. The letter did not arrive
at Suva until after the Kieselhorsts had sailed
from there. The stamp shows that it reached

Given in Briarcliff Lodge, Westchester
An interesting private recital was given on
Sunday evening, July 18, at Briarcliff Lodge,
New York, at the invitation of Chauncey
Depew Steele, a member of the lodge. Arcadie
Birkenholz, concert violinist and a pupil of the
celebrated master, Leopold Auer, was the
artist giving the recital, and his playing was
most enthusiastically received by the two
hundred and fifty guests present. One of the
features of the program was the use of the
