My Soul," "One
of the Sweet Old Chapters," "Silver Threads Among the Gold" and the
sweet old hymn, "In the Summer Land of Song," by Fanny Crosby.

At John Landis' request, she played and sang "Auld Lang Syne." "When
You and I Were Young, Maggie," "Old Folks at Home" and "Old Black
Joe."

Lucy Robbins, when asked for her favorites, replied; "In the
Gloaming," "The Old, Old Home'" "The Lost Chord" and "Better Bide a
Wee."

The Professor then asked his daughter Elizabeth to give them the music
of a song from German Volkslied, or Folk Song, with the words of which
all except Mary and Ralph were familiar. Professor Schmidt sang in his
high, cracked voice to Elizabeth's accompaniment the words of the
German song, beginning:

mother.

MEUHLEN RAD.

In einen kuhlen grunde
Da steht ein meuhlen rad;
Mein libste ist versch wunden,
Die dort gewhoned hat;
Sie sat mir treu versprochen,

She translated it for the benefit of Ralph and Mary: "In a cool,
pleasant spot, stands a mill. My loved one, who lived there, has
disappeared. She promised to be true to me, and I gave her a ring. She
broke her promise and the ring broke in two."

Fritz then caught his little sister Pauline around the waist and
waltzed her to one end of the long room, saying: "Mary, play the
piece, 'Put On Your Old Gray Bonnet,' and Poll
