MUSICIANS HEAR
MADAME zIEGLER
Lecture in Paramount Theatre
on Singing Culture Was
Well Attended.

The lecture by Nine. Anna e. Zieg-
Ter, of New York city, in the Para
mount Theatre this morning, was
well attended, The audience was
made up largely of musicians. The
subject of the lecture was singing
Culture" The lecture was Illustrated
by singers. Miss lisa MacGuire, con-
tralto; Miss Rebecca Whitehin,
mezzo- soprano; Lucille Love, So
prano. were on the program. The
duet by Miss MacGuire and Miss
Love was probably the best number
on the program.
Nine. Ziegler said in part
There is one phase of musical Ire
not yet known to either music pa
irons, the average singer, the stu
dent, the music director, the manager
the coach, or the critic; 1t Is the rela-
tionship of tone production to sing
ing. When q singer is listened to and
the effect as to muSicianly rendering
and enunciation meets with the ap-
proved conception of the music rem
dered. all the above peo-
pie. including the singer, take it for
granted that the tone-productlon
must be correct, and no thought is
given to the latter.
'If the effect Is produced, they are
sure the foundation is sound. They
feel sure that the singer only needs
to enlarge and grow to meet the
needs of larger tasks, And, therefore,
while they are willing to allow that
the singer is not yet perfect, they
know not that a change may DC
needed in this foundation.
81 wish to make known the fac'
| that all the singing of the day, ex-
cept that of the very few who nave
UNMARRIED success, whether they SING

new viewpoint, q new foundation 1ol
an ideal embodiment from within, an
unfolding from out or normal pre-
| conditions, such as health in breath

4!NAY! TAKE BACK
YOUR ROSES" IS
BEST HUBBY GOT
Penitent's Peace Offering Re-
fused and Flowers Suffer
Undeserved Fate.

II you were not on speaking terms
with your husband and had him
summoned to court to explain why
he didn't properly support you, and
if when you got there you found
him lonely looking and apparently
repentant, with fine. big bouquet
of American Beauty roses. and If he
humbly offered the flowers and mute
ly begged forgiveness-if this were
your experience-what would you do?
Or supposing you were the husband
and your wife fell out with you and
had you brought into court, and
you, remembering your sweetheart
days and how flowers had settled
many a dispute, brought her the
choicest bunch of roses you could
get, and offered them to her as a
peace token, and she spurned your
gift and refused to make up" what
would you do in that case?
Judge Dolan, in the Court of Do
mestic Relations. found out today
what one couple would do in both
events.
The husband waited an hour or
more in the waiting room adjoining
Judge Dolan's chambers this morn
ing for a hearing on his wife's COM
plant. He knew she had a weak
ness for flowers, especially roses,
and the bouquet he brought would
have done credit to the friends of
a popular baseball player.
Cautiously he stole A look at the
figure on the bench opposite 1t was
his wife, disdaining to even look i'll
his general direction. He didn't give
up hope so easily, however, for she
could not have seen the flowers, or
she would be in his arms pleading for
forgiveness-he thought.
Soon the clerk summoned both to
the judges private office. They met
in the doorway. Stepping back a
pace or two, one hand behind his
back holding the subpoena, the other
outstretched with the bouquet, halr
uncovered, he simply bowed. When
he looked up in surprise he was stlli
holding the bouquet, and she had
passed on into the judges chamber
her head high in the ar.
He followed meeltly. What hap
pened in the judges office could not
be learned, but it is said he made
another attempt to restore domestic
peace. At any rate he came out with
one hand empty-no, she didn't take
the bouquet. She had been obdurate,
Sewers may not be the place to put
such dainty smelling things as roses
but 1t is said that one catch basin
near the Court House Is the vase in
which reposes a once beautiful bou-
quet. Judge Dolan, 1t is said, ad-
journed the hearing.
The names of the actors in the
drama could not be learned because
of the secrecy rules of the Domestic
Relations Court, but another woman,
whose husband was mad at her too,
declared that the woman told her that
"he was a. florist"
