SINGING ON EIGHT NOTES.

According to Nora Bayes her
self, her voice contains a range of
only eight notes-a handicap under
which most persons might abandon
all hope of success as a singer. Yet
it is a real JOY TO hear Miss Bayes.
When she sings There's Music in
the Kettle" you can hear the kettle
singing; and when she sings about
the sky her gesture is toward the
sky and not, as with some perform
ers, in the downward direction. Her
every motion beSpeaks subtlety. not
exaggeration.
Having cultivated subtlety. il was
natural that Miss Bayes should have
found vaudeville. with its demand
for the obvious. very irksome. Those
who had followed her career closely.
therefore. were not greatly surprised
at this graduation Of hers from the
two-a-day and musical comedy into
new kind of entertainment devel-
oped out of an idea of her own. Her
company at the Thirty ninth Street
theater included about 40 persons,
whose chief duty is to supply at
mosphere for the 125 songs she
sings every evening.
Here is Miss Bayes' explanation
when asked how she does it;
There's something in the way
you handle your voice. and there's
something in the way you use youI
/ hands. but I haven't any hard and
! fast rules For instance, the right

To see some soldiers talk and laugh one would
think war were some kind of a picnic. On the

counterbalance the sorrowful features Of the cory

WEDDINGS ON SHORT NOTICE
How Missionaries In the Early Days
Obtained Their Wives.

There is touch of comedy about
the businesslike way in which several
Of the early missionaries went to work
to obtain wives before they left the
shores of New England, writes the
Rev. Francis Il. Clark in Youths Com
panion. The call to go to Hawaii was
somewhat sudden and imperative. AS
q rule, only one vessel that would take
passengers sailed in the course of a
year for Honolulu, and Of course it
went by the way of Cape Horn. Often
not more than few days or weeks
elapsed between the decision of the
young theologian to accept the COM
mission of the American board and
the sailing Of the packet ship. But
the rule Of the board was that the
applicants must be married before
they sailed for the field. Az, there
was the rub, for In many cases they
had not decided whom to ask to be
their brides.
But the time and tide would not
wait for a long courtship, and so
brothers or cousins Or roommates
were asked to intercede with eligible
maidens, whom perhaps the prospec-
tive bridegrooms had never seen. 1t
is even said that the young theologians
haunted "female seminaries," and that
the good, pretty and pious girls We're
lined up for their inspection.
Although this may be an exagger-
alton, it is certain that several of the
brides who in the early days Went
with their missionary husbands to
Hawaii We're wooed by proxy, ut least
during the preliminary stages Of the
wooing. 1t should be added that, SO
far as is known, all those marriages
turned out most happily, both for the
young couples and for the work in
which they were engaged. Their high
purpose, their common sacrifice and
their great mission In life drew them
close together.
