1t Depends ON the Teacher.

Musical Courier: Some American
Studying abroad, but it depends on the
teacher they have. The success of
Martina Zatella at the Teatro Carlo
Felice Of Genoa, Italy, is a proof that
the feat can be accomplished. This
Michigan girl secured her entire vocal
instruction In New York and under the
guidance Of the well known Mime. Val
eri. Following W years study with
this noted teacher, the youthful artist
assisted Signor Bonci in his last tour
Of the United States. Last fall Miss
zatella sailed for Italy, and a few days
ago she made 8, great success, singing
the part of the page in verdi's Mask
ed Ball" at the Carlo Felice of Genoa,
one Of the famous Italian stages. De-
termination, talent, and of course, the
proper selection of a teacher make up
the secret of this girls success which
proves that the obstacles. met by many
American girls who &c to Europe are
due largely to the fact that they either
are unprepared or at least Ill prepared.
Real talent and merit sooner or later
seem bound to win recognition. ~

who bring disappointment through
carelessness during a performance are
themselves to blame If audiences dis
play disapproval, says The Journal.
tain distinguished musicians who ap-
pear before the New York public from
time to time seem to feel that they are
privileged to do as they choose. They
cause they have gained prestige what
ever courses they follow should be ac-
copied as eminently prope Their
exalted positions usually affect their
sense of proportion, and as a consc-
quence the people, who too often pay
money to hear them dispense music in

thereby forced to accept something
worth far less than the box office price
charge for an occupied seat.

How KipIina Received His Name,

The new Seven Seas edition Of
Rudyard Kipling has brought up a
great deal of interesting and little
known gossip about the famous Eng
lishman, says last Sundays Sun IN.
". For instance, how many KipIing
lovers know that he was christened
Joseph Rudyard Kipling? Like George
Bernard Shaw and Thomas woodrow
Wilson, MIR. .Kipling has shown his
sense Of the value Of words by looping
off the undressing prenomen.
The origin of his better known name
is interesting. Lake Rudyard Is a
beautiful sheet Of water in North stat
fordshire. 1t was at a picnic at Lake
Rudyard that young Lockwood Kipling
first met Miss Macdonald, his, future
| wife. They commemorated that hap
py occasion by giving their son the
name of Rudyard. 4

sisted of a trio for ladies' voices which
was sung with exquisite shading and
enunciation to the last number the
audience showed it's appreciation Of
the excellent work done by their
hearty applause. Miss Gongle de-

opportunity to learn the full truth regarding the
DRUG HABITS that are Devastating American
manhood, womanhood, and even childhood, and
which count their victims among all classes in Taco

These revelations come at time when the public
Is awakening to the drug peril but does not yet know
its precise nature and scope. Charles B. Towns,
who has written them especially for The Times, is
recognized as expert who from practical expert
ence knows more about drugs and drug victims than
anyone else in the world. His statements, surpris-
ing as they are, cannot be challenged.
These articles not written and printed in q

growing drug plague must be checked, and with a
sincere desire to point out its perils and suggest
remedial measures by state and national legislatures
You will undoubtedly read this remarkable pre-
