Wilkins left. ;She had me ha-ha for ten minutes, then said my voice was up and: stopped me. Some sandwiches and milk came up. "You don't get any dinner," Cecil explained. I tried to eat, and couldn't get much down. Seeing that prograno had me nervous. When I had eaten what I could, she told me to go in and sleep. "A fat chance I cou:d sleep." "Lie down then. Be quiet. No walking around, no vocalizing." I went in my room, took off my clothes, and lay down. None of it was turning out the way I thought it wee going to. It, must have slept, because I had put a call in for seven o'clock, and when it came it woke me up. I• took a quick shower and started -to dress. My fingers were trembling. About a quarter to eight i rang her, She told me to come-on' in, She was as businesslike as 'be- fore. AU she said was, "Sit down and we'll check over what you're to do." "I'm listening." • "FIrst, when you come ons At all recitals, the singer comes on from the right; that is, stage right. Left to the audience.

By that time they'll start to applaud. You stop at the centre of the, stage, face them, and bow. Bow onee, from the hips, as though you meant it." "O.K. What then?" "You bow once, but no more. If it's a friendly house, they may applaud quite a little, (brut not enough for more than one bow. Be- sides, it's only a welcome. You haven't done anything yet to war- rant more than one bow." "All right, I got that. What next?" "Then you start to sing." "Do I give Wilkins' a si gar or something?" "I'll come to that, but I'm not done yet with about how you come on.

What else?" to go. But a fat chance we had of "Now, about the accompanist. Most singers turn and nod to the accompanist 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 re- cital anyway, That's why I have Wilkins. He can feel that audience as well as the singer'ettn, and he knows exactly when it's time to start. You wait for him. While you're waiting, look them over. Use those five seconds to•get acquaint- ed. Look them over in a friendly way, but don't smirk at them. Se sure you look up at the balcony, and all over the house, so they'll all feet you're singing to them, and not to just a few." "Must be a swell five seconds." "I'm trying to get it through your head that it's a battle, that it's a tough spot, and that you have to use every means to win.", "All right; I hear what you say." "Now go in the bedroom and come out and do it. The centre of the stage is over by the window, and I'm the audience." She made me rehearse that en- trance about ten times:, and then she seemed. satisfleld. "And nova one more thing.

Wilkins took out his watch and held it up to Cecil, "Ready?" I "All right." ( We all three went to the wings, stage right. Wilkins raised his hand. "One—two." Cecil swept out there like she owned the place and the whole block it was built on. There was a 'big hand. She bowed !once, the way she had told me to do, and then stood there, looking 'up, down and around, a little friendly smile coming on her face !every time sihe warmed •up a new bunch, while Wilkins was playing the introduction. For her first ap- pearance she was singing just one long piece, not a group of songs. Then she started to sing.

And she mad every syllableso distinct that I could, even under- stand 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. Up to then I hadn't thought she had any knockout of a ,voice, but I had never 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 finish- ed, and there was a big hand. Wil- kins came off, wiped his hands on his handkerchief. She bowed cen- tre, left, and right, and came off. She listened. The applause kept up. She went out and bowed threetimes 'again. She came off, stood there land listened, then shook her head. The applause stopped and site looked at me. "All right, baby." Wilkins put the handkerchief in his pocket, raised his hand. "One --two--" I aimed for the centre of the stage, got there, and •bowed, the way I had practiced, They gave me a hand. Then I looked up 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, faces, all staring at me, all trying to swim down my throat. Then I began to think about that first ,number and the THE McKILLOP MUTUAL FIRE INSURANCE CO'Y.

Gladiolus, sweet peas and others that are used fqr cutting or bou- quets can be grown most easily and in quantity among the vegetables. Plants witlh really wonderful blooms but plain foliage should go there. A more pleasing picture will result where these flowers are grown along the edge of the vegetable Diet or just in front. L1 they are very big they can go along the back ,fence. Usually a prize vege- table garden attracts visitors just as much as the flower plots, . so we want to make it ready dressy we can select from the seed cata- logues Demo of the taller and bush- ier annual flowers and use these as hedges between the main divisions of vegetables. A great many experienced gar- deners now grow practically all their gladiolus in rows in the vege- table garden. Then, they are more easily cultivated and dusted, and in most parts of Canada it is very necessary to dust or to ward off thrip. Humus One doesn't read much about gardening or listen to many talks before one is advised to use "well rotted manure," It sounds fine, but the trick for the city and suburban: gardener is to get such a thing. Manure wen rotted or otherwise is scarce. Undoubtedly it is the finest sort of fertilizer, but we have a very good substitute in humus. This is simply the refined and garden name we give to well rotted vege- table matter such as leaves, grass fooling that audience. I finished, and on the pianissimo at the 'end it sounded like a locomotive whis- tling for a curve. Wihen it was over, there was a little scattering of applause, and I bowed.

The experienced gardener never throws these in the garbage pail, or incinerator. He piles these in a heap at the back of the garden behind some shrubbery, over each new layer 'he spreads some fine 1o11. Once in a while he will fork the pile over to mix thoroughly and he will wet thoroughly. The vege- table matter soon ferments and rots ands the whole mixture ;becomes fine rich loam which is a wonderful ma• terial to dig into any type of soil and especially heavy clay- or light sand. If there is no place for a s pile one can simply bury' all is refuse directly in the garden. The old gardener will not throw anything away that will rot. Cultivation Destroying weeds is only one of the reasons, for cultivation. The big gain is the improvement in. the texture of the soiL Cultivationlets in air, breaks up the clay lumps, makes the soil more open, or as the experts say, more friable.
