several days ago, in the course
IRR8I Of his benefactions has done a
k.sS great deal for ambitious music
students Naturally we all think first of
Mary Munchoff, who has made such a phe-
nomena1 success as a concert singer in
Europe. Her talent has come to full fruit
age and her work and the position she
has made for herself must be a very real
Joy to the man who made such success
possible. Often I meet Count Creighton on
the street car. always say, Where is
Miss Munchoff this week3' Invariably he
pulls an itinerary from his pocket and In
a few minutes I know Just where she is
and how fast she is travelling to fill her
recital dates. She is a great favorite and
goes many times to the same places.
Once, when on my way east, Count
Creighton was on the train, taking two
young girls, about l6, the daughters OF a
clergyman, to their home. He conflded to
me that one OF them had a great talent
for the plano and he was going to see
that she had fine instruction, and every
advantage No doubt there are dozens Of
similar cases, which no one knows Of.
They are all helping TO make many lives
finer and better. Bach Yields it's circle of
influence: Isn't Il great to do these deeds
of kindness. while life and health give the
benefactor power to enjoy results? II
Count Creighton ever has insomnia, he
ought to be able to put In a good many
comfortable nights just thinking about all
the good things he has set afioat.
