Stayner. a local composer and teacher of harmony, har-mony, which wera given at a pupils' recital re-cital during th last week. Thes composition com-position ar "For Allia". and "For Helen." "For AJIla" la on of a aerie of compositions com-positions for children, and la a cradle song on th suggested thems of ths old melody. "Rock a By Baby." Th notes of th Introduction agree with th them. Th story of this composition Is as follows: fol-lows: Ona of Mr. Btayncr's pupil a number of years sgo waa little A He Secklea. Upon hearing her teacher play a lullaby composed for an adult player, th child, wh was charmed by ths sweet and toothing tooth-ing melody. akd. "Does It take very large hands to plsy that?" Mr. Stayner said that it did, and this suggested the idea of a lullaby that a child could play. The result was ths composition of th beautiful and dainty lullaby, which he dedlcsted to little. Miss Seckles, and which will alwsys bs known ss "For All!." Helen Young wss a grand daughter of President Brta;ham Young. It was to her that "For Helen" wss dedicated. She la now dead, but her memory will always be recalled to her Intlmat friend upon hearing Mr. Stayner-a Strang and beautiful beau-tiful little composition. Th story of th composition Is known to but fsw outside of th Intlmsts friends f th compor, and of th family of tha young woman to whom It was dedicated.

Desiring I to Inscribe a composition to her, Mr. ; Stayner used this Incident ss the basis for th pretty snd melodious little bit which he calls "For Hslen " Its treatment treat-ment agrees -minutely with the details of th story.
