THE OPERA Chapter 41 Not even Amy realized what good luck had come to her when, after only six months of really good training, she had obtained a position that students

naa tried years to get. Jim Clarke wa3 a man of both wealth and influence His father had been a powerful politician, and left him. when he died, with a fair sized income, and a long list of friends both in and out of politics. Clarke had some theatrical talent. That, combined with his money and his influence, got him into the theatre, where he amused himself by playing small parts. His name and influence

even less. One night she had tickets for "Rlgoletto," and in an attack of conscience because she had neglected her family, she took her mother. In a way, it was the crowning touch, the climax of a series of things to be disapproved of. Amy smoked cigarets on the sly now, knowing her

mother disapproved; Amy danced half

Remove it in the morning by rubbing' with a little olive oil. The worst disfigurement that a nail can have is a series of ridges. These

This is according to the insurance company's table of weights. You can weigh at least five pounds less and be healthy. Babe: If you have reached ihe height of 5 feet 8 inches and are 16 years old it Is probable that you have reached your full height. I do not know of any way to stop growing. Anxious M.: If you do not like olive oil, you can increase your weight by drinking milk, to each glass of which two heaping tablespoons of malted milk have been added. All Inquiries addressed to Mrs. Forbes in care of the "Beauty Chita" department will be answered in these columns in their turn. This requires considerable time, however, owing to the great number received. So, if a

Heart Problems

Dear Mrs. Thompson: We are two girls going to school. We both dearly j love one boy In our town. He Is hand- j some and a gentleman in all ways. We

want to find out which one he likes better. How can we go about it? PORKY 'N BEANY My advice to pay more attention to nour studies and to think less about the boy. Time will probably teach you that the boy spent little time thinking about either of you. There is really no way to find out which he likes better unless he himself chooses to disclose the matter.

AMERICANS ECAPE INJURY IN VENETIAN TRAIN WRECK , By Associated Press) LONDON, Dec. 23. Several Americans were on the Venice express which collided with the Trieste-Rome express at San Dona, Italy, on Wednesday night but none was hurt,- according to the Times' Milan correspondent.

Clarke went on to something better than revue work. He played the piano extraordinarily well, for an amateur. He began giving "recitals.". Because

of his influence, he drew very smart j audiences. The big actors and actrpss-; es came because Clarke was of their! profession and had a musical reputa-l tion also. The big musicians came,! and smiled patronizingly at his playing. said polite things, and chatted! with the stars in theatre world. So

What was the world coming to and what especially were her child-: ren coming to? i Amy said the opera was "inspiring" the mother, absorbed in the questions of morality and covention did not hear the music, nor the wonderful voice of the great tenor, nor the magnificent baritone, nor the lovely Finging of the hunchback's daughter.

ular plays and the musicians with big names, and looked about for the author of the latest "best seller." Clarke drew the literary people, too, and that curious clement that belongs to no "set" but that faithfully attends every smart function, picks out the

smartest people present, and goes feel-j

irg as though it belonged to the inner locial or musical circle. So Clarke met the big musical people, and having a winning personality, made friends with them. So he had enough influence to ask the director of the great operacompany itself to give a chance to a poor little unknown musical student from the country! And Amy's prettiness, her frank brown ryes with their long, shiny lashes, her glorious colored hair, her greaeeful movements, did the rest. "You've a sweet voice, nothinc

great," the chorus director said. "You!

will do in a crowd. You'll never have a career, if that's what you want." Amy was not discouraged by this. She was still sure she would have a great career. "You speak French and Italian?" the director asked. She nodded, in terror that he might test her knowledge. She had had some French at school and Claire had been coaching her, she was sure enough of that to be able to sing the

choruses of the French operas. Shej knew not a word of Italian. I

A great many women feel that the!

little white moon shaped marks at the base of the nails are blemishes that should be removed. Most nails have this but not all. I wish that those who

do possess these marks would get over

Now, for the first time, this is possible. A new invention makes it simple and easy. We can show him how in a short time! We will gladly do it. Bring him to the store tomorrow. What a satisfaction to hear him play artistically! With full, resonant power or delicate shades of tone. Bringing out the real charm of the piano. Impossible Until Now Never before could children do this. For the secret of piano charm lies in the pedals. There, say the greatest musi

cians, is "the soul of the piano." Yet children cannot use the ordinary one-level pedals. They cannot reach them! They have had to learn to play wrongly, without pedaling, without expression. Then later to try to learn over when perhaps it was too late !

The time to learn to pedal is when one learns to play. And now children can learn correctly from the very start. It is possible with the famous Lyon 8b Healy Piano, equipped with the Junior Unfolding Two -Level Pedal.

The Junior Unfolding Two-Level PedVi, closed, is like any good pedal. Opened to the higher leve!, a child can reach it in comfort.

RUDOLPH GANZ "I with I could be a mall boy again to be able to make use of the Junior Pedal."

The Only Piano This is the only complete piano for musicians of every age. The only piano a child can

play properly. It "sings beneath the fingers." Its tonal beauty and charm have won world-wide recognition. But, not content until the full glory of this tone should be

available to every player child as well as adult its makers have developed the Junior Pedal. This is the greatest improvement in the piano in fifty years! Endorsed enthusiastically by the foremost pianists. And it is now built into every Lyon & Healy Piano at no extra cost. See for Yourself Let us demonstrate it to you. Have your own child test it. See for yourself how much it improves his playing. Come in tomorrow. No obligation. Or, if not convenient to come now, phone or write for free illustrated folder.
