Forty-fourth Street Theatre. Is not
content with being a prima donna her
self, but is ambitious to discover other
singers. Her latest. protegee Is Miss
Emily Cedar, whom she discovered By
telephone.
Miss Cedar was employed as q tele-
phone operator In New York, and fate
crossed the wires last summer when
Mile. Trentini was waiting for con-
nection with the apartment Of friend.
The answer was slow in coming after
she had been connected with the
friends apartment house. While Tren-
TIM stood with the receiver to her
ear she heard contralto voice OF I'M
usual quality humming a popular air:
She took the high soprano notes, and
Immediately the contralto fell into her
part.
Then the prims donna tried her on
a more difficult number with which the
novice scarcely would be familiar.
While they were in the midst OF their
impromptu duet the connection was
broken. Trentini finally got her friend
on the wire and told him to lose no
time in discovering the identity of the
girl who sang with her. She proved to
be a substitute operator who was pay
ing for her musical education by this
work. Her name was Emily Cedar. So
Trentini invited her TO call.
After testing Miss Cedar's voice
thoroughly. Trentini was convinced she
would develop an organ Of grand opera
calibre. IF you were only soprano
declared the prima donna, 81 would
make you my understudy.'
Just the same, she has made place
for her in "The Peasant Girl" COM
pany, and if she continues to improve
Trentini intends 20 send her to Italy
TO study, regarding the money spent
in this way as good investment.

ranging from forty to eighty acres

ranging from forty to eighty acres
ana conforming approximately 10 GER
tain Specifications; on this tract a
daily early morning reconnaissance
was made for several days At the
height of the breeding season, and the
number OF male birds Cat that season
in full song) was counted; also the
number Of each species. Each male
was assumed to represent a breeding
pair.
In the first census only the North
eastern states were covered with some
degree OF completeness, though there
were q few scattered observers in the
West and Southeast. The results were,
however, decidedly interesting and sig
niiicant. The densest bird population
was found at Chevy Chase, Md Ia sub
urb Of Washington, where l6l pairs
OF thirty-four species were found nest
ing on twenty-three acres. Here it
was noticeable that the blocks most
thickly inhabited by people were also
most fully occupied by breeding birds.
The census showed that the commonest
bird in the Northeastern United States
is the robin, with the English sparrow
close second; while the catbird.
brown thrasher, house wren, kingbird
and bluebird follow in the order named.
The English sparrow. ordinarily
thought Of as city bird, is common on
farms, averaging about five pairs to
the farm in the Northeastern states.
A few years ago h severe winter de-
stroyed nearly the whole bluebird pop
ulation Of the Eastern states, but the
census indicates that there are now
several million OF this popular species
in the northeastern part of the coun-
try.
A much more thorough census will
probably be taken this year.

SOME FACTS AS TO COLORS
Good Reason for the Objection, That
Is So Popular, About Bad Odor
of Yellow.

A certain significance has always
attached to the different colors. We
see the usually accepted meaning of
the various hues of the rainbow beau
tifully exemplified in the paintings
of the Italian masters, who draped
their Madonnas in blue and in red, to
signify purity and love.
Blue-purity-was without a doubt
derived from the color of the heav-
ems, and red-love-from the color of
the flame. Purple, mixture of red
and blue, since time immemorial, was
the insignia of royalty, and green
was and is the color of envy. What
a yellow streak" means needs hardly
be explained. 1t remains to be seen
how yellow came to be in bad odor.
In all nature, particularly in tropi-
cal countries. it is a notorious fact
that the brightly colored flowers and
insects are poisonous or ill-tasting,
or both Oftener than not these
brightly hued poison-plants are vel

THE GIRL AND THE SCREEN

When The Mother entered the COM
bination delicatessen shop and ice
cream parlor group of girls seated
their discussion that they had even
forgotten the refreshments before
them. Nor did they see The Mother
as she stood waiting for one of the
busy clerks to come her way.

to keep her out. tell you we can't
have her in the sorority. She would

tied protest which sent the hot blood
to The Mothers temples and made her
leave the shop without making the
purchase for which she had entered
1t.
For you see the subject of all the
young daughter.
And what was worse The Mother
knew in her heart of hearts that the
criticism she had heard was true.
Throughout the afternoon Of the
crisp November day The Mother sat
alone In her sewing room. The work
she had begun lay untouched in her
lap, nor did she stir in answer to
either door or telephone bell Her
gaze was riveted on the expanse of
lawn which circled her pretty home.
and as she watched the little dead
leaves blown away into hollows and
corners and trenches for their long
winters sleep her thoughts ran back
Gilpin observer., 1915-09-09

over all the sixteen years OF The Girls
life, and. as though 1t had happened
yesterday, the scene Of the child's first
to her memory.
The Girl had been to blame. She
had been intolerably rude to Little
Neighbor; beastly unfair, and when
her small guest had stood out against
her The Girl had burst into a storm
OF tears which so touched The Moth
er's sympathy that 1t quite ran away
with her judgment,
From that day on The Mother had
been nothing better than screen be-
hind which The Girl might find pro-
lection.
From this far-away picture of the
first quarrel OF The Girl The Mothers
thoughts came back to the group OF
serious young faces in the ice cream
parlor where her schoolmates were
discussing ways and means of keeping
The Girl out of their sorority, assign
ing as their reason that she was rude
and unfair"
The words rang through The Moth
er's mind with the persistency of some
lifting tune from a musical comedy.
They seemed to dance away with the
scurrying leaves out on the broad
lawn, and then come back to scar
their way like II burning brand into
The Mothers brain. She remembered
innumerable instances when. in her
dealings with her companions, The
Girl had shown no sense of justice,
and as many others In which her domi.
neering egotism and intolerable self
ishness had appalled, The Mothers
heart, but each time the adoring pa
rent had believed that only she saw
the hideJus faults of The Girl and SO
she had gone on from year to year
screening them from the public eye,
or at least thinking that she did. for

today 1t was quite obvious that she
had not wholly succeeded.

The Mother sat In her sewing room,
the work she had begun Immediately
after lunch lying untouched for hours
in her lap. She heard The Girl open
the front door; lay her books on the
library table, and come slowly down
the hall. When she opened the door
of the sunny little sewing room The
Mother had picked up the work in her
lap and was plying her needle indus
triously.
To The Girl she gave a smile and
went on with her work, ignoring the
troubled look in the young eyes as
they watched her from the doorway.
There was obviously something
wrong, but The Mother, for the first
time in her life, made it difficult for
The Girl to tell her.
"Oh, mother, l have got in so
wrong!" finally from The Girl, who, in
the sudden memory of the embarrass-
ing time she had been having, did not
notice The Mothers unusual silence.
