Classical Songs
Feature Recital
By Miss Shuttle
by EIeno de Soyn

Carolyn Shuttle, who gave a re-
cital in the Phillip Gallery last
night, is not a stranger in this
city. Her sweet, bird-like colora-
tura soprano has been heard here
frequently over a period of years
and won her friends. In the choice
of her programs, the singer has
always showed wisdom. AS her type
voice places certain restrictions on
the choice of songs, she wisely side
steps the use of more pretentlous
repertoire. Placing greater emphasis
on classical gems and Christmas
carols last night. she added two
operatic arias and a group OF Rus
sian songs.
Although classical songs can be
given without any special projec-
ton of personality or feeling and
still please, as was the case last
night, the first number on Miss
Shulte's program. Have you seen
Whyte Lille Grow" would have
gained i'm m easurably through
greater experssiveness on her part
and add beauty to something al
ready lovely in itself. A more per-
sonal touch also would have done
the same to Rachmaninoff's Before
My Window or Gretchaninoff's
"Slumber Song"
For an all-around accomplish
ment, the most outstanding num-
;er presented was the sopranos en-
core, Saint-Saens' THE Nightingale
and the Rose" Sung on the vowel
"ah." it had no disturbing elements
such as her eliminating consonants
and syllables at the end Of English
texts or her faulty pronunciation
Of Italian and French. Monteverdi's
'Lasciatemi Morire," "Chacun lie
salt" and I'll faut partir" from
Donizetti's LA File du regiment"
suffered from the latter. The clear,
liquid tones Of her voice in Saint
Saens' song, unhandicapped in their
flow by the necessity Of singing
words, showed Miss Shulte's natural
endowment and the purity of her
bell-like voice in the best light.

Income Tax Less
Continued From Page 81
Added Exemptions

In addition to the reduction pro-
vided through the splitting of in
come between husband and wife, the
law increases the individual exemp-
tons from $500 to $500. 1t provides
an additional exemption for taxpay-
ers IS years of age or over, and if
blind, another $500 is allowed. Thus
a taxpayer IS years of age who is
also blind is entitled to claim 81, 300
exemption. A married couple both
over IS and both blind could claim
exemptions in the aggregate of 3d.
500.
The standard deduction which was
limited to $500 under the old law
is now limited to $1,000 by the new
act.
The new provisions in the law per-
tanning to gifts and estates contain
a number of tax saving possibilities
which are too technical and involved
to embrace in this article.

The Man in the Cabin
A Short Story Complete in This Issue
By DONALD HOUGH
By DONALD HOUGH

queer slavery to exact routine which
grips all hermits of the forest,
smiled to himself and did SO.
WHEN he had put his packsack
W in the cabin he offered to cut
wood. The trapper shook his head.
No, he knew his ak better than a
stranger.
"But you can catch a fish," he
said, while I'm over the other side
of the clearing. I'm going over there
now"-he glanced in the direction
of the low sun-'because I always
feed sugar to my pet deer at this
time"
While he was gone Bevis got out
a fishline and spinner from his pack
sack, tossed it out into a deep pool
in the river and soon had brought
in a good-sized pike. He cleaned the
fish rapidly and, since the trapper
had not returned, he fried it in a
pan he found in the oven of the
cabin stove.
When the trapper returned he
made biscuits, and they ate their
meal in silence. When they had
finished, Bevis offered to wash the
dishes, and the trapper agreed
gruffly. "Put things where they be-
long," he warned in a querulous
tone as he turned to clear the table.
Bevis started on the frying pan he
had used for the fish. When ne had
washed it he hung it on a nail near
by. The trapper turned. "Not there!
Not there!" he complained and, TAX
ing the pan, he hung it on another
nail near the stove. 81 always keep
the frying pan on that nail" he ex-
planned, "and after a mans done a
thing for ii years 4. ="
DUT this time, when he looked
~ around, he looked into the muz-
zle of Bevis' revolver. Bevis was
grinning behind it.
We'll start back tonight" he said,
though I kind of hate to spoil such
a good act. You had me fooled COM
pletely. I guess you reached this
deserted cabin last night or this
morning-and hid your n in the
woods. Your idea of passing for the
owner of the cabin was a good one
and it worked until just now. While
you were away / drove those two
nails near the stove to use in drying
out my fishline this evening"
