(Copyright John F. Dille Co.) PIPE ORGANS AND PUDDLERS New York, June 24—Puddlers in the steel mill zones. may or may not have turned in recently on a radio Program which let the nation know about Charles M. Schwab's amazing private pipe-organ. A puddler, you know, is a fellow who handles the white-hot steel. Schwab was a puddler once himself. At any rate, occupying a place in the Schwab mansion just a few feet away from the steel magnate's be- loved organ is the huge bronze statue of a puddler. And whenever the maestros are seated at the organ and SES perfectly acousticed adjoining rooms, he sits facing the bronze symbol. They say it’s difficult to state w gives him the biggest kick, the music or the statue! * ] Pipe organs have, for a quarter of @ century, been Schwab's musical de- light and anodyne. While his “town house” instrument is almost “the last word,” he has an- other elaborate one in his country Place at Loretto. On Sunday afternoons, informal musicales have been staged. The or- ganist is, almost invariably, a past master. The audience varies. The en- tire calendar of musical artists has come to listen—Zimbalist, Kreisler, Schumann-Heink and scores of others. * # MILLIONAIRE’S MAESTRO Usually it is Archer Gibson who plays. Gibson designed the organ and attended its installation. Gibson, in New York, bears the title of “milloinaire’s maestro.” For a generation he has played to the great financiers, Both the senior and junior John D. Rockefellers call him in to play their favorite selec- tions. They are usually simple, homey compositions. Gibson has been private organist to Henry Clay Frick, to W. K. Vanderbilt, to H. E. Man- ville, George Joslyn, William D. Sloane and many others. * # Schwab himself has never looked upon music as a luxury. He consid- ers it a necessity. Tales have gone of great men who read detective stor- ies, coliected stamps and took up var- ied hobbies. Schwab's release from high tension has come from an organ recital, with a varied program of the great composers. # # % REMINDER IN BRONZE The Schwab manor is, in itself, old fashioned and definitely dated. It occupies a vast area overlooking the Hudson on Riverside Drive. The “Drive” has, for many a year, passed from the classification of “swank.” Other millionaires moved to Fifth Avenue and, later, to Park Ave- nue, or to the streets that run be- tween. Schwab's castle is surrounded with landscaped grounds, shrubbery and gardens. It is a renaissance copy— taken from the Chateaux de Chen- auchaux. The organ is built in a semi-chapel, at the head of a main stairway. The chapel is lighted by cathedral win- dows. One shows St. Cecelia at the organ. It’s tone has few equals. The last word in modern sound-proofing has been introduced for acoustical purposes. And—a few feet away— stands a puddler, ready for his moult- en mass of steel—sentimental remind- er to a man who rose from the fur- naces to the financial heights.

Everything I’ve seen is ugly and dark and they charge so much! Where is the apartment?” ‘Somewhere around Kensington Circle I think.

She told him nothing would please her so much that eve- ning as to see & movie. At 12 o'clock next day Cherry met Dixie Shannon at a Twelfth street drug store, They had sandwiches and malted milks, sitting on high stools before the marble-topped counter. Dixie was wearing a green hat again—not the one she had worn the night of the wedding but a tiny green straw with a short scarlet feather tucked into the crown. The hat was tipped at an outrageous angle. It was too bright and yet somehow it suited Dixie. “Like the bonnet?” she demand. ed almost as soon as their first greetings were over. “Three ninety-eight in Daily’ ment if you're interested.” Dixie always did her shopping at bargain counters and was perfectly frank about it. “It’s very becoming,” Cherry said. “I'd never dream it cost s0 little.” oe “They had some others.

Originally it had been nothing more than a large clothes closet, There was a twé&burner gas stove with an oven, an ice chest and miniature sink, two rows of shelves bordered with scalloped oil cloth and piled with dishes and cooking utensils. “Where's the bedroom?” Cherry asked. “Oh, there isn’t any. You see the couch folds open. ‘With that chest of drawers and this closet you have plenty of room for clothes. None of the apartments in this house have bedrooms.” It would be a new way of living but the big room with the window seat and home-like furnishings had won Cherry's heart. “This is the nicest place I've seen,” she said. “If Dan likes it and it’s not too expensive I'd like to live here.” They left Mr. Bergman to lock up the apartment and Cherry fol- lowed Dixie to inspect her tiny third floor quarters. From there Cherry telephoned to Clarice Clark. It developed that the apartment rented for $50 a month, However, as Dixie had pre- dicted, the Clarks did not want to pay storage on their furniture, They Were anxious to get away at once. Clarice Clark said that if Cherry and Dan would take the place im- mediately they could have it fur- nished for $50 a month. “Til talk to my husband and let you know this afternoon,” Cherry promised. She decided to go with Dixie to the News office and there consult Dan, The two girls boarded a car and rode down town. They were walking toward the newspaper office when the other girl put her hand on Cherry’s ann. “Here's somebody you should know,” she said. The next mo- ment she was saying to a young man who had stepped out of a building just ahead of them, “Oh, Max! Have you met Cherry Phil- lips? She's Dan’s wife, you know. Cherry, this ts Max Pearson.” Cherry put out her hand.

It was a 15-minute ride: by street car to Kensington Circle and only a block further to the apartment address. The neighborhood was new to Cherry. The buildings on either side of the narrow street were old residences that must have been !m- posing in their day. They were set close together and each house looked almost exactly like the next. Dixie had a key and let them in to the entrance hall. She rang and within a few minutes the janitor shambled up some steps, “Yes, Miss Shannon. You want to see the second floor rear? The Clarks’ place?” Dixie said that was right. She introduced the janitor, whose name was Bergman. He said, “Pleased- tmeet-yuh” to Cherry and led the way up the long flight of stairs to the “second floor rear.” . “This is a nice place,” he said as he unlocked the door, “Those Clarks have got it fixed up fine.” The room they entered was large. Cherry's first impression was of creamy walls, dark floors and abun- dant cheerful colors, There were two windows on the east through which the mid-day sun shone. “Why, it is nice!” she sald eager- ly, stepping forward. “What pretty curtains—and a window seat, I Iike that It was a comfortable looking room. A low couch piled with pil- lows stood against one wall. There were three large easy chairs, plain- ly showing their age.
