After reviewing the advance in the
country at large during the 292 years

Here in the state of Washington we
are nearing the close of perhaps the
most successful year of our statehood.
We have enjoyed bountiful crops, we
have brought vastly increased acre.
age under production. We have been
free from pestilence and free as well
from disturbances of serious character,
either physical or mental. New blood,
new enterprise, new energy, have come
among us and assimilated with us to
our very great benefit. Our institu-
tons, and especially the institutions
hat make for greater and nobler
people and commonwealth, have been
wonderfully augmented and expanded.
During this year of grace, we have
buiided deeply and firmly the founda.
ions for our future prosperity and
we'll being. We have gone forward
along lines of true progress; on all
sides are the evidences of peace and
real happiness.
Now, therefore, I, Ernest Lister.
governor of the state Of Washington.
in accordance with custom and by vir.
tue of the authority vested in me by
law, do hereby join the president of
the United States in appointing Thurs
day, November 81, 1913, as a day OF
Thanksgiving and prayer, and | do
earnestly recommend that on that day
the people of the state of Washington
desist from their usual vocations and
IL the homes and in the churches ded.
iclte the day to charity and brotheriv
love and the returning of profound
thanks to Almighty God for the mani.
fold blessings that have been youch.
safed them, invoking divine guidance
and continuation of these blessings
through the days and years that are to
come"

$1,000 a night.
Yes, the grand opera singers
do get big money. Some of them
DO take tidy little sums home
with them. But nothing like
what Miss Music Student mag
ines.
Did II ever strike you that IL
costs money to sing in grand
opera? 1t does. Only a portion
OF that big salary belongs to the
singer. The rest belongs to
well, read what a woman who
sang in grand opera more than
ten years has to say. She is now
in vaudeville.
BY MARIE MCFARLAND
A grand opera salary is not
what 1t seems to be.
Let us say that a soprano or
oontralto receives $1,000 per-
formance. That is, perhaps, the
| average figure for star.
But let US take the case of a
| woman who has worked her way
up. Forty performances a sea-
son Is the usual number. That
! completes a contract. The singer
may not appear in concert during
the season without special per-
mission, and that is seldom asked.
So the star receives, we will
say, $4,000 for the American
season of five months. Now let
us see where it has to go.
Living expenses, $500 a week.
An opera star has to keep up APP
pearances. She must have a cost
ly apartment, servants, personal
maids, flowers; she must enter
tain; she must spend.
Subscriptions to charities at
least So 200 a season.
Two thousand dollars to
coaches and accompanies.
At least a thousand to the
throat specialist.
A thousand distributed among
the working staff and attaches of
the opera house.
A thousand dollars to the mu-
steal papers for display advertis-
ing. This also is customary.
Ten per cent to the musical
agency or aeSas that placed
her. A $4,000 item.
Personal press agent, $4,000.
Can't get along without him.
