was much to be regretted that such
a change should take *place.
But Lord Arlengton and Cap-
tain Hill 'said geetvely that it was
the beat thing Lady Chevenix could
do. She had suftered much at the
Hall -she would probably begin a

TO KEEP A PIANO IN GOOD ORDER.
A piano is as sensitive to cold and
heat as an invalid. It must not be
put too near a lire, or the wood is
drawn by the heat.
Never leave it near an open window,
if it is raining, or in a damp room
without a fire, as this not only takes
off all the polish from the case, but
rusts the keys and wires and moulds
the inside,
It should not be put close against a
wall, or the tone will be deadened.
And you must have it tutted every three
months, and choose your tuner as
carefully as you choose your piano, or
your instrument will be ruined,
• Always keep the piano closed when
not in use. Dust the case and keys
daily with an old silk handkerchief,
and never wash the keys when soiled,
or the ivory will be discolored. If,
however, from neglect they get yel-
low, rub with lemon Alice and a little
whiting; 'when dry, brush off, but do
not let the dust fall between time keys.
In cold weather put a soft cover over
the keys.
Be careful never to lift up your keys
to dust or.. wipe .0m, except in the
gentlest manner, as this will spoil
them. If the ease gets, clouded and
dull -looking, have it. well polished with
furniture cream and a chamois leather.
Never put too many ornaments on
your piano. You will spoil the tone,
and put the whole iestrument out of
proper harmony. Never leave a piano
too long without playing on it; this
is apt to stiffen the keys and spoil
the tone.
And remember that in a room over-
crowded with furniture and draperies
a piano can never be heard to the best
advantage.
