"The House Is Finished,

Wouldn't you like to have this striking little home for your own?
 Wouldn't you like to hear your contractor say: The house is finished-move in'?
 This dwelling is complete in every particular and may be axtcaly the design you have always wanted. It is inexpensive to build and the finished building is highly attractive both inside and out
 The living is 13x16, with heavy frieze in the angles there is also bookcase and fireplace at the end of the room
 Dining room is IA by 15, not including the bay win dow. Kitchen is of the buffet order, II by 12 Two bedrooms each Il by 12 situated just off the bath room. Two rooms on the second floor can be finished if desired.

ayers office. The manager heard loud
sounds issuing from the hall. There stood
De Primo towering above Amman. He
held his cane aloft with the intent to
strike the little basso. He shouted, 81 keel
you" But the narrowness OF the hall and
the length of the cane prevented the blow.
The manager interposed and soundly
scolded both. Amman preserved his dig
nifty and denied any completely with the
salt.
And then there was Marcel Journet,
the French baritone. He left this country
in a seasons height. He left, he said, be-
cause Mary Garden, with whom he sang
Disseminated against French singers
Whereas Mary Garden, by heredity a
Scotchwoman and by accident an Ameri-
can, has French soul She loves France
as she loves the memory Of her mother.
The charge was absurd To II she made
answer: Gourmet? Who is he7 do not
know him"
The Society of American Singers is said
to live In a fairly peaceful atmosphere.
Yet Wade Hinshaw, the president of the
organization OF warblers at the Park
Theatre, has moments Of deep perturba-
ton. For example, there was the feud
between those gifted prima donnas. Cora
Tracy and Gladys Caldwell. Howard
Chandler Christy-the illustrators lightly
voiced opinion as to the arms OF one OF
demonstrated Il.

he is mindful that II Cora Tracy should

before that final admonition to ring up
the curtain" The instrumentalist, the
moment he gained the wings, went to MS
dressing room. RUM was compelled TO
sprint to get him back to the piano 80 that
the final phrase could be sung. 1t came
trifle late and curtailed the usual encores
and curtain calls.
One who has looked for a long time at
the strange folk who inhabit the strange
land of grand opera said to me. They are,
many of them ridiculous in their dignity,
vet ridiculously undignifed." IL Is the
best characterization Of their trivial size
have ever heard. -
recall the story Of the baritone DE
Primo and the basso Amman. DE PRIMO
was a huge man with a marvellous voice
and the conviction that the world was
against him. Amman was a man with
voice, as Tennyson would have said, like
