Marie Hall
A Romance of Real Life.

Only just twenty-three years Old
Miss Marie Hall has reached at one
bound the highest zenith of fame; she
is the interest alike of the critic and
the public, who love the maid, and the
frail, delicate-looking young creature
who can rouse great crowds to a pas
sion of enthusiasm by the exercise or
her wonderful gift.
1t is absolutely true that she was
at one time playing in the streets Tor
bread. and she is most anxious that
this fact should not be hidden, as the
point is of considerable interest De-
cause in one sense she owed to this
apparently humiliating fact, one which
some have attempted to conceal, all
her future. 1t happened one night that
Canon Fellowes heard violin playing IN
the street of a provincial town, and
even under such unfavorable circum-
stances he realized something unusual
and mastery in the fashion in which
the fiddle was being handled. de ask
ed the little player to come in, and as
his first impression was confirmed, IL
was through him ultimately that she
was able to enjoy her first course or
three years study.
Marie Hall is the daughter of Edward
Felix Hall, harpist, who, together
with his wife, travelled from town 10
town, picking up preearious living.
While the parents were in Newcastle
Marie was born on April s, 1854 me
child exhibited keen musical instinct
when bat a babe, and at the age OF
four or five would leave her bed when
her father and friends were engaged
in musfc-making, and would sit on the
stairs in her little nightdress, regard
less of the cold, that she might listen
to the strains and drink in the tonal
draughts. Observing a natural aptltuoe
in the child, her father taught her 10
NAV the violin, and her childish HANDS
soon became exceedingly skilful In It's
manipulation. At the age of nine, she
anneared at the Newcastle Town Hail,
creating such a sensation that some
wealthy Newcastle gentlemen interest
ed themselves in the child, and desired
to arrange for her proper educatlon'
hut the nomadic spirit of the father IN
duced him to take his family to MAI
varn a little town on the hills, where
Marie performed with her father II
.,as in that city where Max Mossel,
principal professor of the violin in the
Midland Institute School of Music at
birmingham, met her. He was much
IMMERSED with her extraordinary gifts
and wonderful talent, and gave her one
wears private instruction, and then
recommended her to the Birmingham
| school of Music Committee for free
studentship. She was elected to the
studentship and held it for two years.
Musical folk in Birmingham sent the
Young prodigy to London to play for

house. She won the Wesseley Exhibit

erty had to abandon the scholarship

RoeckeI of London, recognizing Marie's
genius. helped the family. Marie was
sent to London for education in Ger
man, French and English. In 1901 she
was sent to Prague, where the renown-
ed Bohemian master of the violin,
Prof. Sevciiz, instructed here for eight
cen months. At a coming-out concert
he arranged for her, she was recalled
thirty times. Before leaving Prague,
Miss Hall was the recipient of two
beautiful caakets of solid gold, and
huge laurel wreath inscribed ITO Marie
Hail. from the English and American
residents of Prague, February Z, 1903.
Thence she went to Vienna, where
she delighted the musical world, de-
parting with honors and tributes. On
February Is, 1908, she gave her first
concert IN london. at st. James Hail.
She received an ovation from g. crowd
ed audience of professional musicians,
artists and amateurs. Her playing was
associated with the names of great
masters She has repeatedly played
before Queen Alexandra, the Princess
of Wales and other members of the
royal family. BY public subscription
Miss Hall is to have magnificent vio-
lin, Guarnerius, valued at two thou
sand guineas, presented to her by the
people of England.

UNCOMFORTABLE VOLUNTEERS.

Alfred H. Love. for forty years the
president of the University Peace
Union, was discussing the conference
at The Hague:
''War bears hardest on the private
soldier he said. 81 think that If the
world would delegate to The Hague
with full authority, a lot of privates
crippled from some recent war-young
men without arms, young men without
legs, young men without noses-then
universal peace would come at once.
whenever I think of private SOL
diers and war I think OF one Of our
later South American revolutions.
There was a general who promised TO
send into the field 200 volunteers from
his district. There, he said, the people
were furious to avenge their wrongs
with powder and shot.
1.-THE general retired to his district,
and in a week his 200 volunteers arriv-
ed in three freight cars, bound hand
and foot. Along with them the general
sent this message to headquarters:
ST transmit herewith the 200 voiun-
teers promised. Please return the
ropes at once"

Who would have supposed that
Americans pay the annual sum OF $685.
DOC. 900 to the autocratic and absent
minded waiter? But they do. The
walters not only confess it themselves,
but they defend it and applaud it. and
what are we going TO do about it?
Why, absolutely nothing. It is the
consumer who has to pay the walters
wages, whether directly or indirectly,
and If he does not wish to pay them
in the form of tips, then he can do so
in the increased cost of his dinner.
Tips or no tips, the consumer pays.
The only choice he has in the matter
is as to which pocket the money is to
come from, as ''the waiter must live"
at least he says he must.
