Offers Constructive Advice to Mothers of Musical Children. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. Brilliant, voica—the companiment, and then--a pause. The owner of the voice, preparing for an_evening program sponsored by the Community Center, threw off the cloak of professionalism for g few minutes to chat about th one thiag dearer to her heart than music—her three children. Louise Homer Stires, accomplished daughter of one of the Nation's fore- | ppling notes of a loveiy most divas, Mme. Louise Homer, and of o= the composer of international repute, | Sidney Homer, gladly rested during the | morning practice period to talk about Louise, aged 9: Ernest, 5, and little Sid- ney Homer back home in Richmond with their father. Proud Aunt Listens. Katherine Homer, the brilllant pianist sister of Mrs. Stires and a younger daughter of Mme. Homer, listened as a proud aunt should, to the account of her niece and nephew's musical achieve- ments. One says nephew, for though there are two, little Sidney Homer, aged a vear and a half, has only dem- | onstrated his musical talents through the medium of very lusty lungs. “Although he does show he loves mu- ste,” smiled his mother, “bocause he al- ways listens closely to all music he hears. “Louise, who is 9, plays the piano very well and shows a certain amount of talent for it.” she continued, “but lit- tle Ernest, only 5 years old, is the one who really is gifted. He has never taken a lesson, but has played the piano since he is 3,'and has already composed sev- eral little melodies, as well as arranged bass accompaniments for his _sister's pieces. I think Ernest will be the only one to inherit my father’s talents as a composer.” <he added. Mrs. Stires offers some very con- structive advice to ambitious mothers with musically inclined offspring. “I have found,” she said, “that chil- dren do very much better when they Made with Pure Old New England RUM and California SHERRY 00D wflbflms Goverament Your grocer has Wood’s Old Time Mince Meat in the handy glass jar or by the pound.

I always had my girl and have given Louise, my daugh- ter, her own piano in her room. She made enormous strides in her music as soon as she was able to'study in the privacy of her room.” “Children never practice so well,” she added, “when they feel that others are passing through the hall or through the | room in which they are studying.” Mrs. Stires also believea-it is unwise to permit young people with naturally good voices, “self-conscious age.” Volce Strain is Possible. “The minute a young girl becomes self-conscious,” she said, “they are very apt to strain their voices. Girls of the boarding school age, should not be per- mitted to use their voices too much if they wish ‘to have good voices when thay are older.” Mrs. Stires, in addition to possessing many of the fine qualities of her famous mother's voice, is & brilliant pianist “As a girl of 18, she said, “I had no Real Estate Loans (D.
