CRITICISM THAT WAS FRANK
Ceorge B. Cortelyou, in addition to be
ing one of the country’s business kings,
is also a royal performer on the piano.
(>ti one occasion not long ago he was
the guest at a small family dinner,
and. after the food had been disposed
of, the daughter of the house furnished
the real pleasure of the evening by
playing on the piano. She did it with
vim, vigor, and vivacity.
< )n the way home one of the other
dinner guests asked Cortelyou:
"What did you think of that girl's
performance on f,,e piano?"
"While she was playing," replied the
great man. “her work with the loud
pedal persuaded me that she must be
a wonderful automobile driver."
FOR DEAF WOMEN
Women who are hard of hearing, and
would like to do something to help in
the war, will have their opportunity,
according to the AYre ) ork Medical
Journal. And. incidentally, it may
open up to them the way to perman
ently profitable employment.
Reports from the war hospitals in
dicate that a considerable number of
soldiers suffer from complete or par
tial deafness as a result of shell-shock
or head wounds. Because they look
strong and well on their discharge,
tht'C men seldom receive the same
consideration as other incapacitated
soldiers. The best service that can he
done them is to teach them lip-read
ing; ;md thi- work women who are
thriii-elves hard of hearing are pecu
liarly adapted to undertake.
Siieh women, de-nring further infor
mation, are directed to the \ olla
Bureau. |*;n| With St.. Washington,
'fhe Bureau doe- not itself teach lip
reading, but will refer any iiupiirer to
a (jiialified t<-a! le-r near hi- or Iter own
home
