The Euenir,g Story
Light Oper1.

(By John Philip Orth.)
Florence Mabley was engaged to
Phillip Chope. She was fatr-Iook-
ing girl and a general favorite in So
cial circles, and she had q good voice
for singing.
Young Mr.. ChOpe was the foreman
of a department of his fathers fac
tory. He wasn't like other young men
OF the town. He didn't play pool nor
cards, nor put on any particular style
as to dress. He had been dubbed "Old
Steady" when he was eighteen. He
loved solid reading, and there were
problems in mechanics that he. was
anxious to solve.
When it was known that he and
Florence Mabley were engaged the
majority of the young folks said:
why don't she marry a man Of forty
and be done with it?'
And the old folks said: Florence
Is a nice girl, but she's a bit nightly
tightly and needs a check on the rein.
1t will be a good match
There are two things that heaps of
girls have made fools Of themselves
over. and others will do SO while time
lasts. They come to believe that
actress or famous singer Miss
Florence Mabley believed In the lat
ter. She believed it because she had
been singing In a church choir since
she was fifteen years old, and because
about ten people q day said to her:
What a pity that you don't 60 to
Boston and have your voice cultivated
so that you can sing In light opera
The people who thus remarked had
never heard light nor heavy opera,
but they passed for good judges OF a
singing voice and created a restless
ness. As q matter of feet, Miss Flor
ence had fair voice-one that could
be equaled In any village in the land.
Two persons In particular thought
alike about this matter-her mother
and her Lover. The mother positively
refused to enthuse and go to any ex-
pense, and the most that Mr.. Chope
had to say about that wonderful
voice was:
your voice seems especially suited
to the air Of that sweet hymn, The
