GOODNIGHT STORY
Betty Visits the Mountain Laplanders.
BY BLANCHE SILVER.

Betty Visits the Mountain Laplanders.
"Oh, dear" exclaimed Betty. It's
such a nuisance to have to clean up
and wheel the baby up and down the
street,"
Tut. Tut" laughed tiny voice and
Betty's little friend. Gocomebach. the
travel elfin. lighted on the ground at
Betty's side. Il guess you'd like living
in Lapland."
Before Betty could ask any ques-
tions she was whiskcd thru the air and
found herself in a strange country.
This is the northern part OF Nor
way where the Mountain Laps live,
said Gocomeback.
Great crowds of short. dark people,
dirty and with hair uncombed, went
slowly by. Betty thought them very
ugly and she didn't hesitate to say so.
Now then" laughed Gocomeback,
IF YOU lived here, you'd never have
to change your clothes nor comb your
hair. Some haven't had their clothes
off in years. They even sleep with
them on"
All along the mountainside were
scattered queer little tent houses that
looked like wigwams. They stopped to
look at one.
Long poles were stuck up in a circle
form a sort of cone. Over the frame
work was stretched covering of
coarse woollen material AT one side
there was loose flap for door
way, and tie whole top of the tent
around the ends of the poles was open
and from it came a thin line of smoke.

No artist of our time. none certainly whose

reached more universal or more con-
tested fame. None has had wide an in
fluence on contemporary art. He had the
fatal speed of those that are to die young !;
that disquieting completeness and extent
of knowledge, that absorption of lifetime

hasten to have done their work before noon,

Consequently. Mrs Garvey accom-
panied by Mr.. Garvey and Mrs. Chas.
F. Spencer once more approached the
building. Mrs. Garvey was ushered
into a room where there was an ac-
companist and thru a glass window
were the operator of the machine
and the director. There was a plat
form on which Mrs. Carney was asked
to stand and a horn suspended on
thin cord hung directly in front of her.
Three trials. in which Mrs. Carney
was asked to sing only a line, were
made to try out three different shaped
horns which they had. These impress
sions were taken in soft wax plates
and then the needle turned and re-
traced over these plates producing the
sound. One of the horns proved to be
much better suited to her voice than
the others hence it was placed before
Mrs. Carney and after a few instruc-
tions had been given they were ready
to begin the record.
1t took some time to get used to
the difference between singing into a
horn where the sound must fill 4
smaller and smaller space until 1t
reaches the plate where it is recorded
and singing in a room where it has a
large space in which to swell. One
must bend towards the instrument
when the tones are lower and lean
back away from the horn when they
are loud and high in order to avoid
blurs which we have all heard in the
records of some of the best voices.
They say when Caruso makes a record
he runs back md forth the length of
the room.
After the first trial the director con-
graduated Mrs. Garvey and said he
thought she would be able to make a
good record which was a very unusual
thing. Saying that it is unusual 20
make a record does not mean that it
is the best or strongest voice." said
Mrs. Carney; record making depends
on peculiar resonance and vibrations
After six trials where the plate was
either blurred or the song had taken
more than the allotted three and one
quarter minutes and consequently had
run off of the record, there were
three plates which were good. The
director chose the one which he
thought would be the best and from
this the three records, which Mrs. Gar
vey has, were made. Two hours were
spent in getting good results but when
one considers the number of voices
which cannot be recorded at all this
seems like a very short time.
The song chosen by Mrs Garvey is
one which has always been the favor
lite OF her family, sleep Little Baby
Nine" by Dennee, is a very pretty
little slumbe- song and we'll suited to
Mrs. Garvey's voice.
Much of the credit for the success
OF Mrs. Carney record is due to the
training which she had on the placing
of her voice. She studied Rude.-s-
dorffs method with her successor in
T oston. 1t was under this successor
of Rudersdorff in Boston that Emma
Thursby received her training.

Mine" by Mrs Garvey is perfectly

Betty Was whisked Thru the Air.

Betty peeked inside. The room was
about fifteen feet wide and ten feet
high in the center. There was no
furniture. only a few cooking pots,
wooden spoons and wooden bowls
stood around Before a fire which
blazed in the center of the room sat
a quaint little woman. hair uncombed,
her face dirty and greasy. On her
head was tied a blue bandana ker-
chief. - around her shoulders was
thrown a reddish-brown shawl. But
in her lap lay a queer looking bundle
and from it peeked a rosy baby face.
That's komse. a kind of cradle
made of strips of wood covered with
leather whispered Gocomeback. ITS
The little one is rolled up in sheep
skin and put into the cradle. Moss is
stuffed all around it and the leather
covering is laced securely, so only the
baby's face shows. The wooden piece
is to protect the baby's head. The
straps fastened from the head to the
foot of the komse the mother throws
over her shoulder when she walks
about"
Betty shook her head and laughed.
No, she didn't -yish she were a Lap.
Once more she was standing in her
own front yard. She was glad that
Gocomeback hadn't left her in that
queer country.
I'D rather take the trouble to
change my clothes and to have my
hair combed even if I do have to
wheel baby brother. It's easier than
carrying him in a komse." laughed
