music to a captious critic, but it was music
to the little orchestra, and instruction, too.
Suddenly there came some loud blasts
from the two French horns just when the
conductor had signalled pianissimo." Herr
Goldberg walked over to the horn players
and waved his stick in their faces. Their
notes softened a bit, but got louder again.
A look Of displeasure crossed the face of
the teacher.
Put up your horns, Nathan" she said,
severely.
As the horns we're put back on the shelf
In the closet the faces of the two horn players
were the picture Of contrition. AS punish
ment they had to sit during the rest OF the
rehearsal as silent members.
Back of the orchestra, ranged in a row,
were about fourteen children in skirts
They had been looking wistfully at their
teacher and the male orchestra.

Archer. A mite Of a girl, with jet black
hair lone up in tight curls and matching a
pair of big black eyes, lisped out a Yes
that spoke Of longing and expectancy.
ulysses will be dancing master and
Morris will be conductor, said the teacher
Ulysses resigned his baton and took a
position facing the girls. The piano began
a slow waltz, followed by the orchestra.
Master Goldberg made a low bow to Miss
Rose Levy, seized her as a gentleman should
seize his partner and then gave her a whirl
Just as they do in the dancing class of the
which the children can sec across
the street from their schoolroom. The steps
they take are not waltz steps, to be sure,
but whatever steps they are they are In
time to the music and on the faces OF the
dancers are smiles Of delight.
When Miss Archer gives the signal that
the exercise is over the musicians put up
their toy Instruments, the little chairs are
put around the long. low kindergarten
table once more and dancers and musicians
begin making paper baskets again.
1t was only last Christmas that the little
orchestra was started, but it is already
an institution not only OF the kindergarten
class, but of the whole school as we'll. At
Christmas it ave a concert for the parents
and friends and created a sensation. II
has served to amuse the children and keep
them contented in the early days when they
are getting used to school hours. and that
is what k~indergartens are for.
One day one Of the big boys OF he primary
department presented the teacher with a
toy violin and the orchestra was started
then and there. Miss Archer bought all
the ten cent instruments she could find
and 30 equipped her little hand.
Then the dancing school opposite fur

These ambitious young women are IN

%scrupulous men and women who make
fortunes out of ambitious girls. When
they learn the price of lessons these girls
are aghast. They turn away with dis
appointed looks, but they do not escape.
Their voices are tried they are told that
they have great futures before them, that
it would be a shame to give up their careers.
The hard and fast rule will be broken in
this one instance, and 80 sure is the teacher
of being repaid at some future day from
the grand opera receipts that the pupils
will be taught for half the usual sum.
Months roll on and the half price pupil
is still depicting her small stock OF money,
but hope is still kept alive by the teacher.
Some day she wakes up and hears the

and that the market is overlooking with
talent of the same quality. for which there
is absolutely no demand.

One editor Of a newspaper tells how
once upon a time there was a steady stream
of young women from the South who came
directly to his Office from the train. They
were attracted thereto by published reports
of the success Of one Of their oompatriots,
a girl who did reporting and whose very
name he was ignorant Of. She was making

way, to allow her to sing at his reception.
hoping that some one would hear her and
approve her voice.
She had saved out Of the wreck a single
gown In which she could make a good
appearance and had literally gone with
out food for days. The effort to sing under
such conditions was too much for her and
the natural result followed.

She was one Of the country town Nordi-

said the woman philanthropist who told
the story. They all have good voices,
most Of them are pretty and all have the
charm Of youth. Their to~wnspeople
sometimes get up benefits for them and
they come here with their eyes on Paris,
with a stock of mediocre talent and with
a few hundred dollars in their po~cketbooks.
Let us suppose that the girl has sung
before the Grand Army of the Republic
and the Fire Department at their yearly
concerts and has beer loudly applauded;
she has ever received large bouquets and
favorable press notices. No wonder she
believes that all she has to do is to come
here and that gers, im~pressarios,
directors will flock about her doorstep with
contracts ready for her to sign.
"The end is almost inevitable. From
