HOW IT STARTED
ny JEAN NEWTON.
"The Song That Reached My
Heart"

1.-THE Song That Reached My Heart
was born at the request of Henry j.
Sayers, general business manager of
the Thatcher, Primrose and West
Minstrels. 1t was this same. Sayers,
who later caused the strains Of Tara
ra aboon1-de aye" to resound all over
the English speaking world.
Four decades ago, the famous min
strel, Chauncey Olcott, at a benefit
show sang a song known as "The
Song For Me-" which had in it part of
the melody of Home Sweet Home b"
Sayers recognized in this melody the
source Of a. great popular appeal and
he requested his vocal director, Julian
Jordan. to compose something along
similar lines, for their own purposes.
Jordan got to work and within one
day, it is said the manuscript was
completed ito order" words and
music!
That very season the new song was
introduced in Milwaukee and it i'm.
mediately became popular At Sayer' S
suggestion the song was named THE
Song That Reached My Heart" and it
became a favorite wherever sung. Its
mention today among those who heard
it stirs up many a fond memory.

the lace is let into fine linen as corner

charm TO the sheer effects. The entire

the costly entire lace table cloths and
cenkerpieces to those with but little
lace on them, and which are more
within the reach of the average purse.
I've Good Lace
One thing that is imperative in the
use of lace for covers is that it be good

never be used, The lace may be heavy
or fine, but never coarse when the
term signifies a tewdry quality. There
are many kinds Of lace that are heavy
in character. but not coarse in quality.
They give the desired sheer effects in
napery because of the openess of the
work rather: than the finenss of the

Homemade Napery.

plain linen in which she inserts corner

a hemstitched edge that may also have
a lace edging. Cluny lace is one of the
appropriate laces that is inexpensive
which is excellent to use on napery.
Crocheted Lace.
1t is possible for a woman who does
beautiful crocheting to make lace that
