Carmela sang at Wallick's and I at Lorber's Lorber S. you know, is the restaurant on Broad way. Across the street was the Metro politan Opera House. Between ny songs | I used to sit at a window and watch the singers arrive. I saw Lou Tellegen help Geraldine Farrar out of her car and bow nearly to the step as the stage door closed behind her. I saw Caruso walk down from his rooms at the Knicker- booker Hotel I watched them with a 1 sigh and a pain deep in my heart.
 Whats the matter?' said the head
 waiter to me. He had seen tears in my eyes. I dragged my gaze from the win

 "-Just a thought I answered. T was
 thinking this is as near as l will ever come to the Metropolitan Opera House. But my big sister, Carmela, knew my wish Some of her friends knew of it.
 They arranged to take me to Satur- day matinee. I heard opera for the first time. Caruso sang. And Geraldine Far rar. I was the last one to leave the house. When the opera was over and the lights had gone down and the people had gone out I still sat there, held in the | spell of the music. My sister tapped my shoulder and laughed Come on,' she said.

Toy Lore In Japan

From |Japanese Toys and Their Lore
 by Stewart Culin, in Asia.
 There is a pleasing custom among the
 Japanese to carry home presents to tns!r
 friends, and especially to the children of the family, whenever they go travel ing. As they are much given to travel ing and making pilgrmages, a regular business has sprung up of supplying souvenirs, and these souvenirs, called miyage, consist for the greater part of chfldren's toys. Not infrequently they
 have some historical or religious associa- tion, and sometimes they are regarded as sacred in themselves and as bringing good fortune. They are frequently, in fact, degenerate forms of charms and magical things, and the line between the two classes of objects cannot be sharply defined-a collection of charms from dif- ferent temples in Japan, which the un- initiated would very probably regard simply as toys On the other hand, many of the toys are so replete with religious associations that it is difficult to know whether to regard them as charms or pla ythingS.

Story Of Rosa POnselZe

RT WOULD be considered by most people to be Long, Long Way Jl to Tipperary'-the skyroclzet jump
 made by little Rosa Ponzilla. the twenty-two-year-o daughter of an ola Connecticut innSeeper from a vaudeville singer to place by the side of the great Caruso at the Metropolitan opera. for if there is any one thing that we have been taught to believe implicitly it is that the sacred gates of the grand opera can only be approached by long, long study and waiting and trying and weary years and hard roads of patient labor and assiduous devotion to work.
 But, listen friends: The sensational dra- matic soprano, Rosa Ponselle, whom Bir- mingham will have the pleasure of hear ing next Wednesday evening, May F. at the Jefferson, under the "All-Star Con- certs," presented by Mrs. Richard F. Johnston and Mrs. Orline A. Shipman, Tn the third and last of the brilliant concerts given in this series this season, has broken all records-al1 precedents-all an- tecedents-everything by literally falling over herself into grand opera within five short months.
 In reading the many interesting stories which I have Within the past few months about this golden voiced Metropolitan opera prima donna, have found no story more interestingly told than that which appeared in the Chicago Record-Herald a short time ago, well written and graphi- 2 lily related, and so I am going to ap- pend some excerpts from this story en- titled "A Grand Opera Prima Donna in Five Months" so that all those who hear Rosa Ponselle when she comes Wednes- day may know something of her brilliant rise to fame.
 Says the writer of the article, among other things:
 We have been told how the special genius of great foreign music teachers, like the famous Mme Marchesi, is so vitally. necessary to train and develop the hard working singer, who hopes some day to reach the stage of the great Metro politan opera house.
 "But young Rosa Ponselle studied just five months with New York music teacher. cut out all the Mne. Marchesi- years-of- -soulful-stu yin-Europe idea and landed among the great Metropolitan stars without any difficulty!

the long list of stars who served their time under the great foreign teachers have told young aspirants to follow this slow and painful road if they hoped for success. Study in Italy was vitale Study in Italy and also in France was really
 quite necessary. And, in fact, to the years of study in Italy and France it was desrab to be added term in Berlin yes, and London, too.
 But Miss Ponselle never had time to run over to Italy or France, and she is sing ing leading parts with the great CarEso, nevertheless. She is twenty-two years old and the newest star of the Metropolitap opera house galaxy Capricious nature appears to have endowed this untrained, country innkeepers child with a voice which did not need years of sandpaper- ing, polishing and yarnishing to perfect il.
 "A critic said Rosa Ponselle as Leo- nora, making her operatic debut, was both surprise and a delight. Her voice is fresh, clear and of lovely quality. She used it with a fine grace and effective ness In her MT. Gatti has found some tnlnS worth While, and 10 ms and her credit she was unheralded'
 "Gatti Casazza, the manager of the Metropolitan, said; 'Sgnorina Ponselle has voice like Carusos. It is like vel vet. It is without holes. Most voices are like a garment, thick in one place, thin in others. Hers is strong and even!'
 Jarc 1,-c,,, pa c1In cess. Rosa Ponselles performance was not Thankatopsis, her first effor being equaIed and surpassed by suc- cessive ones Said another critic of her second performance: After the too numerous exhibitions of shouting singers in the Metropolitan, it affords inexpressible satisfaction to the ls tener to hear so velvetry and we'll controlled a voice as Miss Ponselle used in the way singing voice should be. The American soprano sang last evening with an intelligence and an artistry that confirm previous esti. mates
 Were you to encounter Rosa Pom Stlit ull lut StlSfl, III q QIsiNiiS IOViii, at matinee, you would think: "A good looking girl in an ample way! How brilliant her coloring! How mag nificent her vitality" And when she spoke you would think: How softly girlsh is her voice!" From her exudes abundant strength. She is such a girl as one institnctively believes is ,."coun- try bred!"
 Like most of the human voices in the great aviary housed by the Metro politan's square, smoke stained roof, Rosa Ponselle is of humble origin. Nearer the soil greater the sinking voice quality.
 Caruso the great was a butchers rear doors of Italian mansions was bullied by cooks in the kitchens of great families. Lima Cavalieri was a singer in cages in Rome. Lillian Nor dca stood behind a counter and sold gloves in a Boston shop. Margaret Romaine sang in the streets of Lon don to draw crowds to the meetings held by her father. a Mormon mission ary from Ogden. Utah. Anna Case was a blacksmith's daughter who bor- rowed quarters from the grocer to pay for her first vocal lessons in a New Jersey Village And Rcsa Ponselles first recollection Is of the corner grocery, cafe and saloon, kept by her father in Meriden Conn.,
