1--WE had been accustomed to
a decent standard of living and I
tried to shield the child with
every bit of strength I had. She
needs glasses, dental care and
has extravaganza tastes such as
an occasional movie or a matted
milk. It would have been a
simple matter for me to commit
suicide, but I didn't dare do
anything rash because of the
child.
Eventually I was driven to seek
aid from the Department of Public
Welfare. I was made to feel like a
criminal. They took my whole
pedigree and said that my appear
ance did not subStantiate my
plight. Why, they wanted to know,
did I look so young for my age?
'They herded me with other un'
fortunates from one room to an
other, making me present proofs
Of every claim and sending me
around town on useless trips with
coins borrowed from friends. I had
to repeat my history over and over,
trying always not to appear too
neat nor too intelligent.

had to show them my room, its
contents, relate our habits and
explain how we managed to exist
thus far.
II cried out that I was able to
take care of myself and that all !
wanted Of them was to improve
my child's living conditions and to
give her decent chance until old
enough to make her own way.
Finally, through the DeSertion
Bureau, they located my husband
and I was told to take out war
rant. This was refused me, how
ever, because he was beyond ju.
r1sdiction Of the New York courts.
Months went by while my case
was pending in the Welfare De-
partment. How we managed to
keep alive through the winter is a
miracle. The ordeal has left scars
that no luxury can ever totally
efface.
Then one day was told they
had a report ready. And what do
you think it was, Mr.. Hellinger?

Of our house. At the head of the
troops was King William of Prus-
STA, afterward William I; Crown
Prince Frederick, Bismarck and
Moltke. AS the King passed,
mother leaned over and tossed
a wreath Of flowers. It landed
on the neck of his horse. He
checked the animal, turned in
the saddle, looked up, smiled and
then gravely saluted. I was SO
proud.
My next impression is of inter.
minable finger exercises on the
grand piano, which stood in the
parlor. In the corner was large
porcelain stove, which looked i'm
preSsive but didn't heat the room
very well. I remember mother
coming in and putting shawl
around my shoulders as I prac-
ticed. -.
Again war breaks in on my
recollections. This time it was
the Franco-PruSSian conflict of
1870. My piano teacher, a young
man, was called to the colors. I
was delighted, because I thought
this meant no more lessons. Alas,
within few days an elderly man
showed up and the lessons went
on. Even war couldn't stop those
finger exercises.
I recall indistinctly the musical
notables, who made our home a
rendezvous. This was due, OF
course, to the fact that father
was one of the leading musical
figures of the city. He had found.
ed the first regular symphonic
orchestra in Breslau. Among
those who were his friends and
who came to see him from time
to time were List, Wagner, Won
Bulow, Clara Schumann, Tausig,
Joachim, Auer, Rubenstein and
others.
Tausig's Pudding
I remember one incident in
connection with Tausig, who is
considered LISTS greatest pupil.
He was especially fond of a GER
tain kind of apple pudding that
mother always prepared when she
knew he was coming. We chill
dren called it the "Tausigsche
Apfel-Sprise" in his honor. Once
when Won Bulow was to be the
dinner guest, mother baked a
hare. Something happened in the
kitchen and the sugar and salt
got mixed. We did not find the
mistake out until dinner was
served. Mother tried to explain
and apologize. Van Bulow Gained
her confusion. II always like
sugar on my meat" he said,
laughing. And to prove it he
took a second helping.
Richard Wagner was godfather
to the second child Of my par
entS. When the little one died,
he vowed he. would never be a
godfather again as II always
bring i'll luck" Franz List was
godfather to my older brother.
I did not meet him TIL later in
life.
Except for finger exercises, my
first piece on the piano was 1.-THE
Happy Farmer" by Schumann.

are on a par as the best singles players
in America. Wood lacks tennis. He's
not match tight and the only way ne

~ OCHESTER, N. Y, August g.
- KY Laffoon, Denver's golfing

take q one-stroke lead in the first

Laffoon's score was all the more
remarkable In that his card showed
two sixes-the first at the par five
fourth, where he lifted his head as
he Clipped for birdie, and the sec
ond at the thirteenth, where his
drive found a creek.
