Spends Summer Months on
Banks of Lake
Leman.

When the worlds foremost songbrds
and musicians are not charming thous-
ands nightly by the beauty OF their
voices or their wonderful mastery OF
the instrument, incidentally coming
thousands of dollars thereby, what else
| are they doing? What Is their mode OF
living? Do they sleep. eat and plan
their daily lives like the rest OF us. or
do they exist In some fairy realm that
is all light, and music and song?

the minds. Of The palmer people. but II

for the reason that these musicians us

them personally. vastly different from
what one sees OF them on the stage

other rather than to associate with out

An enchanting little region on the
shore OF Lake Leman has been chosen

and musicians of the world for their
abiding place, and to this romantic and

way after the applause OF countless
| thousands has died away and their sea-
son has closed. Here they loaf away
the summer months, balance UP their
bank books, and gather inspiration
for their forthcoming season.
