that Efrem Zimbalist, the violinist

suspect Mr.. Zimbalist of playing ac-

who seem to have achieved a happy
solution of their respective destinies.
1 mean Sidney Homer, the composer,
and Nine. Louise Homer, the singer.
Nine. Homer goes even further than
bands songs. So does her daughter,
an intelligent musician as well as a
girl with pleasing voice.
THE house is full of children Art
lists have had children without destruc-
ton to their careers and views on
child education. Mime. Homer keeps
her children out of school as long as
possible because she thinks they learn
more quickly when the time comes,

of American youngsters does not exist.
They are all beauties, like their hand

The Misses Kouns are the daughters
of Mr.. c. w. Kouns, general manager
of the Santa Fe. AT an early age they
showed keen intuitive knowledge of
