Whatever secret ambitions and innate consciousness of her own vocal potentialities may liftve lurked within Ula, the coming of Marcia sidetraOked theiyi to such aft extent that they seldom. floated to the surface of her con-\ st'iousness. >* It is possible that this was made easier by the faict that Ula's future, for the past few years, had been ex-^ citingly bound up with that-of, a young, architect who was just beginning to lay the firm foundations of a career tha't promised well. Felix Ermin and Ula Lee were Ideally compatible. He loved her music arid she in turn wasfilled with the conviction that a great career lay ahead for Felix in the fulfillment of his "splendid art. Those were happy days for the young pair, filled with struggle, it Is. true, but the kind of struggle made glamorous by the promise of tomorrow. - • - ' Then Marcia came. A dark, vigorous girl only four years younger, than he^aunt, but full of immaturities that made her charmingly thechild. It was" "then that* Ula's peY^ sonal ambitions began .to fade belUiro the dominant, effervescing personality that was Marcia. The girl had a voice, no doubt of that; Thinner, flutier than Ula's, with not so strong a middle register, but one of those pyrotechnical coloratura sopranos. With this voice. Ula worked for four years. As her own light began to recede, Mareia's came forward. They were busy,a"formative "years,~ making a veritable- beehive of the little home which Ula shared with her niece. But do not think that Into any of these sacrificial days ami nights^JBhen there entered into the young aunt's zeal for the young niece self-denial that was Unknown even to her intimates, self*pity or even self-realization dawned upon Ula. She had long since began to realize, taking stock of herself as a person, that the kind of success she most desired in life did not extend beyond the four walls she was to share with Fell* TtTrmin. It was, ' perhaps, an embarrassing realization with which to be confronted. The world which Ula most desired was the homely one of Home. There was-a dream of a rambling frame house set in the center of a lawn which was to be the center of the paradise of earth, so far as she was concerned. It was not all sacrifice, then, to throw her heart and soul Into Mareia's destiny. By Instinct, by temperament and by personality, Marca wag the sort of person who belonged to the world. She was restless of restraint, covetous of adulation and glowing with the vitality of a potential personage. ' It took the coming of Marcia to make Ula realize all this. No longer wis she torn between her natural lnsj stinct for a home-life with Felix, and the career of a voice. * Marcia had come to solve that most perplexing of problems. Marcia was Ula's proxy. In a way, It is understandable why Ula threw herself with such wholehearted zeal into preparing the, younger girl to tread the ways her own feelings were so willingly, so .gratefully foregoing. When Marcia was twenty-one, she was ready for an audition before an opera committee. Her aunt's pride in her product was nothing short of obsessioq. There was no doubt that Ula had turned out an accomplished singer--one with high prospects. The crushing defeat came to Ula with so little of the dramatic In It that she scarcely realized the blow until after it had been struck. It most have been ia the way they did It No shame, no hysteria, no fear. Quite simply, Marcia and Felix came to Ula two weeks before Marcia was to appear in her audition before the opera committee and confessed their love. It was simple, honest and undemonstrative. Ula In turn, honest and undemonstrative, gave Felix his freedom and set about reconstructing an appalling world which had suddenly toppled into bits around her. The Incredible had happened. Happiness had slid from under her feet In a landslide. * But life mast be lived. . Ula proposed. live it valiantly. ; Two weeks later, dhe appeared before the opera committee in place of Marcia, who was honeymooning n Havana. There was never a time after that when Ula's success faltered. In two years, she was singing the most important soprano roles with the most important opera company In the world. Inevitably, the pharaphernalla of grandeur wound itself around the simple person of Ula. She became a diva, a {Aiblic figure and one of whom was •xnected the Intricate and bedecked life. . .. Externally, aided and abetted by advisors, impressarios, agents- and secretaries, she fulfilled these requirements, supplying the press with the necessary complicated detail of whi|t was In reality her simple life, and appearing before the public with all the attendant glamour expected of one In her .brilliant role of singing-bird of fiiie plumage. " Every spring, ih the interval' between the end -of the arduous opera season and her spiling for Europe, Ula visits the Felix Ermins back In the town where a young singing teacher coachedh# niece toward fame. The Felix KrmiW live in a rambling frame house, set Ih $ wide "area fof gtjefct lawn ijii one of the nice streets of the; little tow& Efeilx fa a locally auccessful architect. There are three ; eh} Idren. v'-Marcia, who is a bit too plump, still Is obstreperously, young i n .her Vfvacity «nd fl lied-, with a dark glqw that lends . much' to ? filer personality. • - To Ula, the rambling frame house, set in the center of the (elaborate latfn, is the center of the paradise of the earth. Her visits there are as terrible to her as they are beautiful.!. Marcia, "as she watches her, is the most-to-be-envied and the most-to-beloved human being earth. And yet, there is no knowing Marciaf. She reveals nothing by manner or word. Nor does Felix. Ostensibly they are a happy pair, rearing a h^lppy family in the midst of stability, prosperity and well-being. Sometimes of an evening during these brief annual visits of Ula to the home of the Felix Errnins, Mareia's slitted eyes, regarding Ula, are ..filled with pretty nearly every kind of defeat there is. , _ <©. l»3l. MeClure Newrpaper SynatefttO (WNC Service.l Reason Advanced for Use of "Oz." as Ounce There is no "z" in "ounce" and therefore "oz." is a symbol rather than a true abbreviation or contraction, of i the word. ¥wo theories have beefl advanced to account for the use of "z" instead of "s" in this symbol or abbreviation says the Pathfinder Magazine. The Oxford dictionary says that it is a Fifteenth century abbreviation of "onza," the Italian form of "ounce,** and ailds that "in manuscript forms of abbreviation the 'z' had the lengthened form, its tail being usually, carried in a circle under, round, and over the 'o,' as to form the line of contraction over the word." The Ital Ian ^bTjreviatloB was retained in English, according to tl\is theory, because it had become a sort of symbol like the modern $ and % signs. Some authorities, however, are of the opinion that ^'z" got in "oz." In the same manner thatvit got In "viz.," the abbreviation of "zidelicet," a Latin word meaning to wit or namely and usually so read. Although the third letter "z," It Is really the character used by early printers for the arbitrary mark of termihal contraction. During the Middle ages a character similar to "z" was Hsed as the abbreviation of "et," meaning and. It was equivalent to the modern $. "Habet," for instance, was abbreviated by medieval writers. The early printers* had no type for the symbol of terminal abbreviation and therefore used "z," the nearest thing to It in the printer's case. Thus "viz" originally represented a double abbreviation--"zi" for "vide" and "z" or for "licet." "Ounce" was derived from French "ounce," which in turn was from Latin 'uncia," twelfth part. ^ ! v*: Twice Told Tales Iteaaa «f Interest Taken From' Files of the Plaindealer of Years Afo FIFTY YEARS AGO We learn that Capt.
