say tbeit she has meandered decorously through that Flowery King-' dom whose chop-suey menu Is forever seasoned with sober unintelligible and foreign and erratic intangible She goes deep-this callous pettttcoated ice bouse with the upturned nose She is the Artesian well-digger in the world of harmony and her car la the diamond dvill that cuts through the Ibam of musical superficiality and lets the broad light of day shine cruelly and baldly on One' In a decade perhaps she hears the real thing but when she does she Is practically akma In her bliss The men at any rate will not share It- with

know what to do when thla dreaded class of mortals appears To this cheerful ipecfas of Imbecile I address these brief but eloquent remarks Thousands of us crude barbarians really love music In our peculiar fly-up-tho-cretft or rather It would be better to eay that we love the noise we call mualo It touches way down in ua and makes us feel good True we know what's us or where -we are being touched but all the aa me the- very sound makes us grow frisky -One minute we get gay and coltish and sassy and don't-glvs-a-darnieh and the next minute there creeps over ua a kind of chllls-and-fever sadness which Instead of makin' us miserable produces a pleasant sensation much akin to th tearful emotions engendered by reedin' one of our own love letters written years ago to some fair now the underserved wife of another Or maybe It Is a bran band which gives us the psychological hlgbbillicum flips and sets our blood a-tinsrln tm and down our backbone and crosswise through the lattlce-Kke curvatures of our ribs When the human air-bag let off steam Into the big horn or the musical Hercules tries to thump daylight through th abdomen of his colossal drum there arises within us a sort of do-or-dTe determination which makes us ateo high and go all sorts of gaits And If the hand plays why sakrs alive! we swell out like a pouter pigeon and chesty like a balloon wonder how In the name of
