Mr. F. M. EARLE , 'Choosing the Best Work for your Girl '—IT
NOW that so many girls want to have careers of their own. or. at least, to be capable of earning their own living, the problem that faces parents when the children begin to grow up has become more extensive than it used to be. In the last of his series of talks, Mr. Earle will give them some advice as to how to set about the task of finding a career for a girl.

ETHEL FENTON (Contralto) FRANK TITTERTON (Tenor)
THE WIRELESS MILITARY BAND
Conducted by B. WALTON O'DONNELL
CONTRASTS—THE GAVOTTE is one piece, not two as its name might suggest, and it preserves the Gavotte character throughout. The contrast between the old-world simplicity with which it begins and the more modem spirit which intrudes on it from time to time, is achieved by slight alteration of the speed and freer and more elaborate use of the available instruments, rather than by any actual departure from the stateliness of the measure.
THESE two pieces were originally composed as pianoforte solos; Robert Chignell has arranged them very deftly and effectively for performance by Military Band. Both are characteristic old dance tunes of the North Country—the first a quick step in 6-8 measure, running along very merrily, and the second, a robust and vigorous reel. There are hints of laughter in it, and the way in which it begins with bassoon alone and only rhythmio accompaniment, is truly mirthful.
