And this little girl sang so well and played so beautifully on the piano that when sney had church "sociables" and private theatricals," her name was al- ways on the programmes, and concert bllis, and everybody used to say that if she lived long enough and practiced re- liSously ncugh, she'd some day be singing "The Rosary" and Tostis Good by without having to apologize to the audience.
 And she did.
 Well, I guess yes for listen to what happened.
 One day a fairy queen tapped at her door which to most artists ought to be a great relief from the "perking" of audiences, and this little girl heard a far eff voice calling as from many miles distant.

 And, so this little Georgia girl packed her little grip-sack with a quart or two of "top" notes, and a glove box full of crescendos, and two or three other boxes with some perfectly good "five-finger exercises" which had graduated into arpeggios and "runs,'' and other "pianosms' calculated to make the best "pianolog" ever heard on the vaudeville stage and started out to be introduced to "The Great White Way"
 And this is what happened then.
 The little golden-haired blue-eyed Geor- gia girl like all other little girls who first make the acquaintance of Broad way, got very. very cold feet and cried in dismay: |
