Show Cooking Versus Piano Playing. A distinguished man said the other day, at the opening of a new school of domestic science: "Though I speak not from personal experience, but putting myself in the position of a working man who married, I would infinitely sooner be certain of eating a good dinner than of listening to an indifferent pianist. It seems to me there is often more emphasis placed -v, upon piano playing than there is on the more homely, but certainly more useful, offices of domestic life." Perfectly Per-fectly right, good sir; but you won't convince Conservatory piipils, or the aspirants for "culture" in the outlying outly-ing districts, that good dinners are of the least consequence compared with, their music lessons.
