Is Your Daughter
Handicapped
By Your Neglect?
Mother will your child's future be blighted for lack of
a cuhivated talent?
Shall it be said that your flesh and blood has been
swept aside in the world of men and women unsought be-
cause of an inability to interest others?
No accomplishment in the whole gamut of things that
appeal renders Ui'ouag man or woman more attractive than
the ability to make music
Nor a it necessary that one be an artist to get a sense
or serene satisfaction and a chummy companionship out
of music.
Many people who are ordinary performers make their
playisg a delight to friends and a constant Joy to them-
selves. The girl with' even a moderate mastery of the piano
finds herself the center of an admiring circle. She is al-
ways in demand.
Her home radiates the sunshine of 'melody. Young peo-
ple like to congregate there.
Music in her brings refinement of intellect She is
bright she is keen she has a developed sense of humor
she dweMs in the celestial city of fine minds.
At the outset a carefully trained ear and an apprecia-
tion of correct tone are essential.
Therefore the very inspiration your child needs may
be foiled in the right piano.
