CARNARV0N'S
ROMANCE IS
ON ROCKS

NEW YORK, Nov. 6. QN.SO.
The romance between the Earl OF
CarnArvon and red-haired Mrs.
Tanis Guinness Montagu, both
members of the British aristoc-
racy, appeared to be on the rocks
today.
They were to have been mar
ried wednesday at the British
consulate in Baltimore, but sud
denly decided to call it off, and
came to New York.
Mrs. Mantague, who is a former
daughter-in-law Of the Earl OF
Sandwich, declared:
"The marriage arranged De-
tween Lord CarnarvOn and my
self is off. don't care what
people think-here or in Eng
land-but we both know IL Is
for the best. We certainly IN
tended to be married, but we
changed our minds.
Lord Carnarvon, whose famous
father discovered the mummy OF
King Tut, paid visit to Mrs
Montagu's hotel suite last night,
apparently in an eleVenth-hour
attempt to patch things up. But
today, admitting the marriage was
off. he told a reporter:
eyes, my good fellow, she did
1t. It was her choice"
Mrs. Montagu was formerly the
wife Of William Drogo StrugeS
Montagu, second son OF LORD
Sandwich. Lord Carnarvon was
divorced recently from Catherine
Wendell of New York.
The earl, looking cresttal!en
after a day of vocal combat with
reporters, visited Mrs. Montagu
last night and departed without
mending the broken romance.
She will not sail on the Europa.
The British consulate in Balti'
more was ready for the wedding,
but something happened. Whether
it was the ancient curse on those
who disturb the tombs OF the
Pharaohs or simply a pre-nuptlal
quarrel, none would say.
The couple pulled out OF Baltl-
more on separate early-morning
trains and parked at separate
New York hotels.

motive Of the symphony is motion
rather than the subtle interweav-
ing Of enchanting melodies as in
Brahms previous works.
There are many themes, two OF
which are shown above. in the
first movement, but the thread
which binds the work into a unity
is the mood rather than the repe-
tition and development Of certain
few themes. Rhythm, sometimes
jerky, bold and resolute, dominates
the movement. There is a heated
argument between strings and
woodwindS answered by soothing
bit of tune. Woodland echoes are
followed by strong and jerky

tention is to create an element OF
mystery. A few days ago this
column carried an announcement
with comments thereon, concern
ing the proposal of a vocal teacher
Of New York city, who expects
to settle once and for all the
question as to wether a poor voice
with enough will power could be
brought up to the same level Of
perfection as an inherited cul-
tured voice.
Without giving particulars as to
additions, or even the teachers
name, the idea was exploited
simply as a matter of musical In
tereSt. But several Would.be
singers have written to find out
the name Of the teacher. The
writer's were not so frank as to
say wether they wished to qualify
as the worst natural voice or as
the best natural voice.
The name of the vocal teacher
is Charles M. Bailey; the address
is not at hand, but could doubt
less be found in a Manhattan
telephone directory which is on
file at the main office of the local
telephone company or at any one
Of the larger hotels in Washing,
ton. There was to have been an
addition for candidates for these
two scholarships last Saturday.
Whenever the subject of the de-
velopment of a poor natural voice
into one Of the operate timbre is
brought up, the shining example of
Mary Garden is usually cited. The
story is told that several noted
teachers would not even attempt
to help her cultivate her voice
when she first started out on her
career, but by dint Of persistent
effort, she overcame the handicap
of naturally poor voice and be-
came one of the leading operate
singers in this country.
Possibly one of the most mis-.
leading features of a voice that
may possess promise, is the fact
that the instrument must have
a resonance that will give the
tones great carrying power. In
the rough, such a voice may not
have pleasing tonal qualities when
tried out in a small studio. No
great operate singer has a parlor
voice.
Thus 1t is that even vocal in
StructorS Of some experience may
not Immediately recognize the
possibilities of a voice in the rough,
but will give every encouragement
to a soft and Sweet-toned voice
that may not have enough reso.
nance in the final development to
carry the tones 80 feet with clar.
ity. Long before the present-day
simplifying and recording devices
were on the market, it was our Gus.
tom to try every voice that came
for try-out with a standard office
debating machine.
BY means of the debating ma.
chine, the resonance of the voice
was at once established. Then
the records made by the indi-
Vidual pupil from time to time
were used by the singer to hear
himself as others heard him. BY
a process of Self-criticiSm, the
pupil was brought to a correc.
ton of his faults with greater
facility than if one attempted to
explain them by word of mouth
alone.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April IL
Water leakage through brick walls, a
problem that has troubled builders
since 5000 B. c., has been solved par
TALLY by the Massachusetts, Institute
of Technology.
Builders long have known that
water-t tight bricks held together by
water-tight mortar did not necessarily
make a water-tight wall.
The reasons for this apparent
anomaly, according to Walter c. Voss,
professor of building construction,
start with the fact that brick is es-
sentially porous material. 1t absorbs
water.
The mortar contains excess water.
This the porous brick takes up, if it
Is properly matched to the mortar.
But water and porosity. or suction
