PLAY SECOND FIDDLE
...AND LIKE IT!
by Homer CroY

RF YOU are a normal human being, you have to
play second fiddle to someone in your office or
4 your home or in your job and the fiddng isn't
always pleasant. In fact it's hard. You say, Il am
capable of playing first fiddle can't 60 on all my life
as am now. can't!'
People come to see your boss No one notices you.
You 60 to party. Someone outshines you. You 60
to conference Someone outtalks you. You know
you should be heard, you have ideas; but you have
to keep lingering instrument number two. Not
pleasant.
Do you know so amazing is life - that if the
second fiddler bides his time and plays as we'll as
he can, he may become as important the first
fiddler Perhaps more important.
Let me tell you about as quiet and obscure a
second fiddler as you would ever know. She lived a
good many years ago on Cape Fear River, North
Carolina forty miles from Wilmington tucked away
from the world. Her days were made up of little
things; she did them as best she could.
Time passed. Her son wanted to 60 to London; his
mother followed to take of him" The brilliant
and erratc son became the rage of London. People
came from all over the world to see him; his name
was on everyones lips. James McNeill Whistler!
He was 50 famous that people waited outside his
studio for glimpse of his hat his goldheaded cane,
his lace cuffs. No one ever gave thought to the
quiet little woman in the background.
One day the painter model failed to arrive After
waiting for tine Whistler asked his mother to sit
for him. She had no fine clothes for that But she
tidied herself up and seated herself she told
1t was nice to rest.
He fixed her cap little this way and little that,
reananged her weary hands and set to work. When
he finished he called it simply ''an arrangement in
gray and black
WHISTLER was concerned with merely the tones
and lines and spaces But the world wanted to know
the identity of the sitter all who saw were touched
by that ineabe expression her face the sweetness
and strength of character that shone from the
vas, the peace of declining years. Today she is
known around the world an inspiration to millions
:. this obscure, gentle woman who played second
fiddle all her life and who now lives and will never
die. Whistler's mother
Not so many years ago boy twenty-one years
old living in Lind, Sweden, liked to read and tinker.
One day he read copy of an American book called
Alternating Current Phenomena, by Charles P.
Stenmetz 1t made such an impression that the boy
decided he would come to America and try to work
under the direction of this inspiring man.
But there was the matter of money. 1t took him
two years to manage it; when he arrived he was
twenty three and the world was his He found that
Stenmetz was with General Electric in Schenectady
and, after exactly day in New York, he went to
Schenectady. Then he learned that Steinmetz was
spending the summer at fishing camp on the
Mohawk River, and there he went. Imagine his
