But let that same person announce that her vocal lessons are figuring in the high numbers—that Professor Somebody devotes a whole precious half hour to her voice every once in a while—and the neighbors sit out on their porches evenings to listen to her scales. Her family is impressed. “Now, I've been singing off and on, for my own pleasure, since I was a baby. I've always had a modest de- gree of respect for my own voice—but 1 have generally seemed to be alone in my opinion. If I sang it was usually an accompaniment—and when I was younger it used to hurt my feelings.” “Why, I've always told you that 1 like your voice.” The man took on a tone of reproach, but it didn’t seem to work well. “You!” she laughed. “Why, of course you—but I mean people who count, in music!” “That seems to dispose of me effec- tively,” conceded the man. “But as I was saving.” proceeded the girl, “it's abhsolute'y no earthly use to have a nice voice.

W. Fiske Johnson REAL ESTATE Loars Negotiated Leaming to Sing “Do you know,” mused the girl at ! the piano, “that singing isn't an art, | nor a talent? It's just a record of so many dollars and cents. And the | more dollars and cents you've spent | on your voice the better your voice is. ' “That doesn't mean, either,” she went on, “that it's all a matter of training. If I should take a hundred Buys and Sells Real Estate. Orang lessons at $1 a lesson I'd be considered 2 just about one-third as advanced and e Grove Property 8 sPecm“' proficient in vocalizing as I should be if I'd take a hundred lessons at §3 a lesson.” “Why this pessimistic mood?" in- quired the man who was sitting near. “I'm not pessimistic,” replied the | girl, calmly. “I've just discovered an- other truth. You try it and you'll see. With the plano or the violin it's differ- ent. While I grant that with them dollars and cents count a lot, still, it you can play the keys and the notes the same, people will listen to you, s and, perhaps, enjoy the playfmg—but with vocal music everything depends on the money cost. There seems to be a quality in the tone, or something that tells people just who your teacher is and what you pay for your lessons —and you get complimented accord- ingly.” “Yes? The man's voice invited further explanation. “Well,” the girl proceeded, “even it «one practices alone on the plano one can accomplish something, can't one?

Why, if Melba herself hadn't had oice teachers no one would have ever realized what a voice she People would still be telling her practicing scales, whereas they gladly pay $5 or so for a seat to hear those very scales put into some handy song!" “From all of which,” commented the | man, summing the matter up, “it ap- pears that vou are sick of it all and are going to leave the vocal field to the moneyed classes and stick to the piano. I really think you are wise, myself. Singing isn't such a gredt | stunt after all, unless one has a fine selection of songs—and even then the same things can't please every one. On the other hand, if you play, you can play to please the whole bunch— | and—" “You are entirely mistaken,” inter- rupted the girl, deeply offended. *I1f you think that after all this work I'm going to give up just because my teacher didn't give me a decent solo in that recital, so that my voice would badly decelved. \ money on a good teacher, that's what I'm going to do!

It was the Italian ship Anita, built in Genoa in 1548, and almost an exact duplicate of the Santa Maria, the famous galleon in which Columbus made his voyage of discovery. The Anita was bullt for strength rather than grace or speed, broad-beamed and clumsy, but had weathered hurricanes and typhoons in all parts of the globe, and escaped unharmed from the perils of the deep from Cape Horn to Hud- son bay. She had a world’s record as the slowest ship afloat, averaging 206 days between Baltimore, Md., and Rio de Janeiro. As her lack of speed was losing money to her owner, and she seemed destined to defy the ele- ments and enrich Lioyds’ indefinitely as long as she remained afloat, it was decided to sell her for what she would bring plecemeal, and use the money she brought toward constructing & new vessel.
