Miss Jessie Pope's

Miss Jessie Pope, one of the edi-
tors of Punch, gives this account of
her discovery of The Ragged

months ago a friend told me that her
childrens nurse had manuscript

father, a Socialist house painter.

THE prospect was anything but al

fore it meets with the resistance
which dissipates the waves of sound
generated by the agitation of the
vocal cords.
Thus while the pure tone of the
great singer comes from the pro-
found depths into which he directs
his voice, the falsetto notes Of an
other unfortunate singer are spring
ing from the spaces above the vocal
cords, the waves or vibrations ascend
ing upward toward the throat. find
ing infinitely less resonance power as
they thus ascend. In this way Is
produced the agonizing falsetto note,
a sound lost in the regions around the
soft palate, without purity or excel

As for the quality of a voice, its
richness, its low or high register. that
depends entirely upon the physical
condition of the body of the singer.
And now for the execrable trenolo

Thus the mystery is at once clear

invariably from a weakness of the
muscles of the midriff or diaphrag GIN.
Owing to the abdomen being drawn
in, the midriff never properly is con-

St. Pauls Parish ActiOe for Christ

The parish Of St. Paul's is in its
most prosperous condition today. II
carries on its work silently, but ef-
fectively. 1t has no egregious fancieS
of social service, and it doesn't court
publicity. 1t numbers no especially
wealthy persons among its communi-
conts, and, thoughtfully and cautious
ly, it leads its congregation of loyal,
bard working people.
And in pursuing this ordered way 1t
has established a record as being one
of the most active and important
parishes in the diocese. The church
was originally founded to satisfy the
desire of many young people to have
parish downtown; therefore its
Sunday school. the fundamental
training school of the young, is the
particular care of the rector and his
assistants in the congregation, 1t de-
Ponds upon no chance ill-advised

for years ahead.

Thomas A. Edison the other day
granted an interview to a music
teacher and baritone singer of this
city, Mr.. Emil Hoffman. Mr., Hoft-
man is now on his way to London,
where he is to lecture before certain
scientific bodies OH a discovery which
he thinks he shas made in the
mechanism of the human voice in
singing.
The alleged fact that he has dis
covered something which has been
a mystery that has baffled those who
teach tone production is regarded as
certain by the reputed best physi-
clan in this city, who makes the care
of the voice of the prima donna, or
any other opera singer his particu-
lar branch of medical science, This
is DR.. F. c. Webner, of 96 Clinton
avenue.
DR.. Webner, when questioned said
that he believed that Mr.. Hoffman
was correct in claiming credit for a
new theory and that he should have
much praise for his scientific ingenu-
ity and his original conception,
But the best Endorsement he has is
that of MIR. Edison, who called his
theory plausible" new and dstinc-
lively of the greatest value to the
singer. Indeed, Mr.. Edison was so
impressed that he granted Mr.. Hoff-
man two hours of his thrice valu-
able time.
The fundamental originality Of
the reputed discovery of the New
ark teacher is that the pitch of the
human voice. quite distinct from the
tone, is produced in the windpipe
when the so-ealled chest tones, those
which move the heart, are sung, and
in the space above the vocal cords,
bands or ligaments when falsetto is
sung.
The contention of competent vocal
lists and scientists hitherto has been
that the pitch of the voice is due to
the tension of the stretched bands or
ligaments. This, Mr., Hoffman de-
clares, is an impossibility. and he
AYERS that space that is the length
of the space in the windplpe, gives
rise to the attribute known as pitch.
The tone productions as is we'll
known, or sound, is the result of the
vibration of the two sets of vocal
cords.
The discovery, therefore. of Mr.
Hoffman, the distinction between tone
and pitch, may well be called, after
Mr.. Edison, plausible"
The musician illustrates his theory
by a very simple method. He takes
q bottle or a hollow glass cylinder
and fills ii with water at different
heights. BY blowing or whistling into
the bottle or tube the tone is pro-
duced and the pitch changes accord
ing to the space the tone travels be-

Percival Christopher Wren, author of

subject of the novel, which tells the
story of a Club of Failures which is
supposed to have been established in
India for Englishmen who have failed
there and gone under. The idea
underlying the book is that there is
some good in everyone, even the big
gest rascal--an idea on which much
of the work of Henry Kingsley is

St Paurs P. E. Church is one of
the older parishes of Newark. The
space about 1t is being kept green TO
serve as a resting place for the weary
feet of the aged worshipper when he
leaves the portals of the sanctuary,
for the children of the Sunday school,
or for the stranger. This is type
of the unpretending service for
humanity encouraged by the authors
ties and the rector of st. Paul's
Church. They abhor the unnatural.
affected methods of those who pose
as charitable agents, falsely assum-
ing a virtue they do not possess.
The parish of st. Paul's was found
ed in 1858. 1t maintained for years in
its present parish house a parochial
school, which was attended in youth
by those who are now among the
most prominent citizens of Newark.
The founder of this school was Rev.
DR.. Hamilton Goodwin, whose tragic
story and connection with one of the
oldest houses in Newark has been re-
peatedly and graphically told in the
newspapers of New York city.

Princeton University in 1898 and from
the Episcopal Theological Seminary
in 1901. He was called TO Newark on

as curate. DIR. Hadley undoubtedly

cd which enables him to guide the
affairs of the parish and particularly

organizations for social and philan-
thropic work, these organizations con-
tanning more than six hundred mem

Rupert Hughes is of the guild Of
real story writer's. His new story,
What viii People Say?p just pub
lished by the Harpers is, first of all.
unusually craftsman-like in the de-
velopment of its personal theme-the
tale moves from beginning TO end
with swift, undigressive flow Yet,
despite this rapidity and straightfor-
wardness, the author keeps one con-
stantly alert and entertained through
the variety Of his character por-
trayal, through his insight and wit
The reader feels that he is being
carried on at a tremendous pace;
yet the people of the story are so
convincing in their up-to-date real
ness, they respond so quickly to
every mood, in word or expressive
action, and the authors asides blend
so perfectly with his narratives, that
one takes in motives and characters
as easily and pleasurably as at a
well-acted play.
One hesitates TO lay too much stress
upon the fact that Mr.. Hughes has
wildly pictured the glittering spec
tacle of New York social life, for his
main intent, obviously, is not to
dazzle by scenes of orgiastic revelry
OF to incite a shocked condemnation
of extravaganza and moral laxity.
Yet What VIII People say" is a
picture as well as a story Mr..
Hughes seems to have derived his
atmosphere from observation, and he
has tempered it with a many sided
knowledge of life. In many ways the
author shows the novelist's love of
evenly balanced truth, the charac-
teristic delight In expressing with i'm
personal skill the subtle windings of
