and Madame's voice advising her TO
leave. as the hall would soon close.
In the quiet that followed. she felt
herself lifted into a pair OF loving
arms. The great lump in her throat
melted into tears, and a piteously
broken voice soDbed out: "Oh.
Mother-that audience-that awful
sea Of faces-my voice stuck in my
throat forgot-everything. Oh,

And FRITZ Field was as good as
/ her word. In the two years that fol-

and the procession Of stretcher
/ bearers carrying our wounded
heroes into the base hospital seemed
endless. Physicians were employ
ing all their knowledge and skill in
effecting relief and cure. Soft
l footed, soft-handed. soft-voiced
nurses were gliding between rows
Of beds. seeking TO relieve. TO min
lister and 10 soothe the patient SUI
ferers.
A wasted hand touched the flutter-
ing veil OF a nurse. She stopped at
his bed. Bursting shells had done
their worst. They had wrecked his
nerves.

whispered feebly. 1T is so sweet

marked softly.
For moment F'r.tizi Field bat
tied herself: then her voice. first
soft and tremulous. then growing
stronger and sweeter with SYM
pathy. love and pathos filled the
great room.
The restless became calm. the
moaning forgot their pain. Enmity
was forgotten: and the sullen Ger
man was the listening brother of the
conquering Yankee, Music is the
Esperanto-the universal note TO
which all peoples answer.
No applause greeted her. Silence
was their gratitude. FRITZ sang
on and on. and when the soft cad

Field no longer feared her audience

And so, each evening, she poured
out her soul in song to an audience
supreme, dreaming of a day when
love and peace will reign in this torn
world, and when her auditorium will
be her home, and her audience one
