CHAPTER 111
SYNOPSIS
The contracting--,business-is-.in
the doldrums. but , Leonard Bon
land, of thaltrar i. gBorlaud Engin-
eering .Co„ New York, has ample
-funds when his pretty, opera-
struc'k ,e¢ife. -I),oris ; decides ;she is:.
going to resume her_ singing, in-:
terrupted by her marriage at 19
anrl the birth of , their two chil-
' dren, to help out - the family in-
come. Borland protests, Doris re-
peats tlist he has' always. thwart-
ed her career, and she had. her
way as always. The presence of
Hugo Lorentz, her teacher, irri
tatee him. After Doris gives a
recital. at Town Hall, Cecil Car-
ver, operasinger, phones Borland.
At her hotel she 'tells him Doris
has a good voice but lacks style.
Cecil is to sing for war veterans
but hasn't the words of a Certain
song. He sings it for her and
she says he .has a fine baritone
voice. Cecil knows of Doris
through Lorentz, says, .Hugo
Hopelessly in love with Doris,
and that Doris tortures every man
she gets in her clutches. Leonard"
ought to wake her up by giving•
a recital; she says. "Go get your-
, self a triumph. Hurt her where
it hurts, it the triumph depart -
meet." Cecil will give him les-
sons but demands- payment -kiss-
es. He makes, good progress in
three or four months and spends
much time spent with Cecil. Doris'
tells him Jack Leighton is going
to get her an engagement sing-. ' .
ing at a movie palace, While
Doris is out of the city' Cecil, on
tour, wires Leonard from Roches-
ter, N. Y., saying his tenor can't
sing and asking `him to help bet''
out. They are discussing 'what ,
might happen during the perform-
ance. .
"They can't give you the bird, and
they can give it to anybody. I think
you'll. win, but you've got to win -
don't make any mistake 'about that.
You've got to lam it in their teeth
and make them like it," Cecil said.
"When is the concert?"
"Tonight."
"Ouch!"
"Did' you hear me?"
."/ heard you
When we got to the hotel I took a
room and sent up my stuff, and then
we went up to her suite. A guy was
there, reading. "Mr. Wilkins, who
plays our accompaniments. Mr. Bor-
land, Ray: our baritone."
We shook hands, and he fished
some papers out of this pocket. "The
Printer's proofs of the program. 'It
came while you were out, Cecil. He's
kat to have it back, with corrections,
by five o'clock."
s She passed one over to me. It gave
me a funny feeling to see my name
there. '
I said, "`It's all, right -pretty nifty.
,Except that Leonard Borland is gra-
dually, on purpose. going to turn into'
Logan Bennett."
"Oh, yes. I meant to ask you about
that. Will you change it, Ray? And
make sure it's `Changed on his

"First, when you Come; on. . At all
recitals,' the singer :comes; on from
the right; that is, stage right. Left,
to bhe audience. ;Walk straight out
from the wings, past the. 'pia'no, to
the center of the stage. Be. quick
and 'brisk about it. .Be aware of
them, but don't look at them till you
get there., By that time. they'll 'start
to applaud. You 'stop at the center
of .the stage, face .them, and bow.
Bow, once,from the hips, as theugh
you meant it."
"O,.K. What then?"
' "You bow once, but no more. ' If
it's • a 'friendly ,house, they mayap-
plaud quite a little, but 'not enough
for more than one bow. Besides, it's
only -,a welcome. You haven't done
anything yet to warrant, more than
one bow,"
"All right, I got that. What next?"
"Then you staint to sing."
"Do I give Wilkins, a sign or some-
thing?"
."I'll 'come to that, but I'm not done
yet"with about how you '.come on.
Look pleasant, but don't paste any
death -house smilelon your„Mace; don't
look sheepish, as though you thought
it was a big joke; don't try to look
more .confident -than you gaily are.
Above all, look as though you meant
business. They came to hear you
sing, and asl long as you act as though
that's• what you're there for, you'll be
all right, and you don't have to kid
them with some kind o'f' phony act.
If you look nervous, that's all right,
you're supposed. to be nervolfs. Have
you got that? Mean it." -
"Ali right, I got it."
"When you finish your song, stop.
If the piano has: the final finish, hold
everything until the last note has
been played, no matter whether they
break in with applause or not. Hold
everything, then relax. .If you've
done anything with the song at all,
they ought to applaud. When they
do, bow. Bow -straight to the center.
Then take a quarter turn on your
feet, .,and bow to the left. Then turn
again-, and bow to the.• right. Then
walk off. As quickly as you can."
"Do „t do that after every, song,
or -
"No, no, no! Not after every song.
At the end of your group. There.
won't be much applause at the end, of
your first two songs; they only. ap-
plaud the group. Bow once after the
first song, and when the applause has
:died down start the second, and then
on with the third,"
"All right. I've• -got it now."
"If the applause continues, go out;
exactly as you • went • out the first
time, and bow three times, first cell:"
ter, then left, then right, then come
off."
"Go. ahead. What else?"
' "Now, about the accompanist. Most
singers turn and nod to the accom-
panist when they are ready, but to
my mind it's just one more thing that
slows it up, that adds to the chill
that hangs over a recital anyway.
That's why .I have Wilkins. He can
feel that audience. itis well as the sing -

"I only sing twice?"
"That's all. Give Ray your music,
so ,he can go over it. He always plays
from memory.' He never brings mus-
ic on stage.'
Wilkins left. She had me ha-ha for
ten minutes, then said my voice was

`
We all three went ',to the .. wings,
stage right' Wilk+iva raised his hand.
"ane, -two:" Cecil swept out there
like she owned the:',;plp,ce• and the
whole block it was built on. There
was a big hand. She bowed once, the
way Oe had teld'me-to''do, and then
stood there, looking up, down, and
around, a little friendly smile coming
on her face every time she warmed
up a new bunch, while Wilkins was
playing the introduction. For her
first appearance she was singing just
one long piece, not a group of Songs.
Then she started to sing. She turn-
ed grave and seemed to get taller, and
the first of it came out, low and soft.
It was Latin, and she' made it sound
dramatic as hell. .And she made ev-
ery syllable so distinct that. I could
even understand . what it meant,
though it was ' all of fifteen years
since I had had my ,college Plautus.
Then she got to the part where there
are a lot of sustained notes, and her
voice began 'to swell and .throb so it
did things; 'to you. lip to then I.
hadn't thought she had any knockout
of a voice, but I hadnever heard it
when it was really working. Then
-she came to the -fireworks at the end
and you .•knew 'there really was a big
leaguer in town. She finished, and
there was a big hand. Wilkins came
off, wiped his -hands on his handker-
chief. She bowed center, left and
right, and came off. She listened.
The applause kept- up. She went out
and .bowed three times again. 'She
came off, stood there' and listened,
then shook her head. The applause
stopped, and she looked at me. "All
right, baby."
Wilkins put the handkerchief in
his pocket, raisedhis hand. "One -

I aimed for the center of the stage,
got there, and bowed, ,the way I had
practiced. They gave me a hand.
Then I looked un and tried to do
what she had told me to do, • look
them over, top, bottom and around.
But all I could see was faces; faces,
aces, all staring at -me, all trying to
',Swim down my throat.:Then I began'
to think •about that first number and
the one chord I would get; and show
I had to be ready. I stood there, amd
it seemed so long I• got a panicky
fee).-ing that. Wilkins hadn't ,come out.
Then I heard the chord, and right
away started to. sing. •
My voice sounded so big it startled
me, and I tried to throttle it down,
and couldn't. There are no piano in-
terludes in that song. It goes straight
through, for three verses, at a •fast
slip, and the more I tried to pull in
andget myself under some kind' of
control, the louder.it got and the
faster I kept going until at the finish
Wilkins had a hard time keeping Up
with me. ' They gave me a little .bit
of a hand, and I' didn't want to bow,
I wanted to apologize and explain
that wasn't the way it was supposed
to go. ,But I bowed 'some kind of

Then came •Scarlatti'S "O.. Cessate

Wilkins went into the opening of the
third song, the last of that group. It
was the "Come Raggio Di Sol" by
Caldera, and it's another that opens

measures, and then I exploded. like
some radio when you turn -it up too

ing contest. Wilkins saw it was hope-

that were the way it was supposed
to go. But a fat chance we bad of

GoodWh tpvase,
In the Spring { the' farmers fancy
may rightly turn "to thoughts of white-
wash, ,for after the- tong winter the
barns, creamery and home fences look
much in need of la'Tightening up.
Even city dwellers will find that an
outbuilding, would be none the worse
for a Spring touch up, Persons may
be hesitant . ,about tieing whitewash
through, the fear that a shower of
rain might ruin it, ,but the Dominion
Experimental Farm Service h a s
evolved a waterproof whitewash for
outdoor work which ' will --prevent a
newly whitewashed barn from' looking
a picture of desolation after a down-
pour.
This waterproof whitewash is made
up proportionately as follows: Slake
62 pounds of quicklime in 12 gallons.
of hot water, and add two pounds of
salt' and one pound of sulphate of
zinc dissolved in two gallons of water
To this, add two gallons of skim-
niilk. An ounce of alum, although not
essential, ,;improves the wash. Salt
should be omitted if the wash is to
be used on metal' that rusts.
Another recipe for waterproof cold
water paint is made in the following
proportions; Beat up 1 pound casein"
in a pint of cold water; dilute with
one-half gallon cold water, and add
eight fluid ounces of amnipnia, Stir
until a .smooth jelly is formed, then
add one-quarter fluid ounce of 'formal-
tistics, sharply higher ..than at same
date in 1940 and 1941. For Dominion
as whole, average wages paid for
help hired by day was $1.53 at Janu-
ary 15, 1942.,.. when the employer pro-
vided board. Comparable rate at
same date in 1941: $1.24 per day.

For farm buildings a disinfectant
whitewash may be desired. Here is as.
recipe recommended by •the Dominion
Experimental -Station at -Scotia, ^$0e
katchewan. Dissolve fifty pounds of
lime,iii eight gallons of boiling water;,,
add six gallons of hot water which
hes' ten pounds of salt and one pound -
of alum dissolved in it. Add a can
of lye to every 25 gallons of the mit-,
ture. Add a pound of cement tgs---ev-
ery three gallons gradually and stir
thoroughly The alum prevents 'the
wash 'rubbing off, and ` the cement
makesa more creamy mixture easy
to apply and covering more surface.
A quart of creosol disinfectant may
be .used instead of the lye, but lye -in
preferred when the colour is to be -
kept white.

MIRROR PIC,TURES
"It's done with''mii'rors" True enough, but it resulted hi "a tit a n'apshot.
Skew your Individuality by taking Unusual snapshots.'
IT'S the unusual that attracts at-
tention, and it's only necessary
to use ypur eyes plus a little imagi-
nation and ingenuity to -ferret out
exceptional views and angles that
lead to pleasing photographs. Per-
haps you've never taken mirror
pictures, and, if this be the, case,
you've missed a number of opportu-
nities for interesting effects.
Probably the most ' important
, point of technique when taking pic-
tures of this' type is correct focus.
When piefering the reflected image
only, it is necessary to add the
distance from the mirror to the
subject to the distance fromthe
mirror to the camera lens. For
example, suppoiie; the subject le
three feet from the mirror, and the
camera six feet from. it. Then. three
plus six feet, giVes a total of nine
,feet -the •. distance _ for Which you

set ata small lens opening -f/16 or
1/22. This is advantageous even if
it means a longer' exposure, for it
gives greater depth of .field and
makes it easier to get both subject
and reflection in sharg'focee.6
Care must also be ettercised 'in
placing your photo lateps..,To' illu-
minate the subject in 'Front of -'the
mirror, place one light quite close
to the wall on which the mirror
beetsThe other light may be
place near the camera to give gen-
eral lllumleatidn. Watch that neither
lamp reflects in the mirror or shines
!net, the camera lens. Of course,
you'll also want to be sure that the
camera doesn't show in the mirror.
There are many possibilitles for ._
fun with -reflections. SlroWr ii. 'terabit
