Barrett, we shall commence serious work with the voice. In fik>out one year, if th^re is the progress I expect. I will let you sing at one of the provincial opera houses After that, we shall see." Mary sj*eculate'd on the trials she would have to suffer at the haids of this martinet in the effort td realize her ambition. One year of H sound night's sleep Mary was conscious of'the hectic happenings of the previous evening 'Curiouslj her ' thought's wandered to Monteverdi The stern teacher, who forced her through the endless rou-' tines of vocal and physical exercises. had become a tender, appreciative. lovable man. How pathetic his concern over her seemed- How anxiously and encouragingly he had smiled up at her » from the p r o m p t e r ' s box. - A new s i d e o f , Ouilio's character had been unfolded before her and her future as a singer seemed more dear and secure with the new Guilio to guide her. Attired, in a chic negligee Mary sauntered into the studio. Seated before his desk Guilio spoke without lodklpg up at her. "What was wrong with your voice, last night? Where was that rich mellow quality you give me here in th« studio?" "But. last night,"-protested Mary., "you told me I Was splendid--and you were so--nice to me . "You canie home, crying like a baby." Guilio sneered at her helplessness. "Nerves! Hysterics! Vou won't Sing. So ( had to play tho part of a nurse and pet you." Almost unable to restrain her tears, Mary retreated. "So you were fooling- me, pretending?". Ignoring her temperamental, oat* burst. Guilio remarked. "Come, *you need lots of practice. We must get to work. Open the window. We wilt start with the breathing exercise." Reluctantly Mary obeyed his or* ders and the same dull, monotonous routine started all over again, except that she now had the added incentive of proving to him that sh« was .able to conquer any of the difficulties and obstacles th%t he mif lit choose to put in her way.

All Vienna was agog with the anticipation of hearing La Barrett, Monteverdi's new protegee! Sophisticated and . perfectly groomed. Mary had emerged from an extended tour of provincial opera houses, a lyric actress of distinction, completely conscious of herself as a fine artiste and a beautiful woman. Time and discipline had accomplished much- Seated besides her in a fashionable Viennese restaurant. MonteverJl vould not escape being pleased at the uJ v.iring glances turned in their direction. "You are hungry?" inquired Guilio. "Splendid, we shall have a nice dinner." Rebelling at the familiar sight of the spinach he has always ordered for her. Mary! appealed to Gu'lio> "I can't eat it.

' Amazed, Mary watched them with : a resentment that she could hardly i understand as they reminisced and inquired about mutual acquaintances. "Darling, this is the happiest mbment of my life," Lally drew up a' chair and sat beside Mary. Monteverdi introduced the newcomer and a tension was immediately apparent.

Guilio's glower indicated that Angelina should'leave them alone- "I said you were wonderful, splendid. Are you a child that needs to be petted?" Taking her tenderly in his arms, Guilio gently advised. "Now close the eyes and forget about tonight." Nestling comfortably against him. Mary sighed wearily. 'Kelax," urged Guilio. After a moment's silence, Mary admitted drowsily, "I couldn't have gone through with it if you hadn't been there In the prompter's box. You gave me some sort of powermade me do the right things." slowly Mary drifted off to sleep. Guilio placed Mary In Angelina's care and left the room hurriedly.

Lally laughed at the Idea of Guilio possessing any monk-like qualities. "Excuse me. I'm through with my hay," interrupted Mary, leaving the table. "It's about time I was led back to my stajl--good night" Curious whethe/ Guilio would follow or allow her to go home unescorted, Mary traversed the length of the restaurant, waited a discreet interval, aSd left. "What is wrong? Where is Maestro?" demanded the faithful servitor. Angelina. "He's wilh a singer named tattyand I don't care if he never cornea back." Angelina regarded her for a moment and then advised with a knowing look, "Well, if I felt that way,' I'd try to m'ake him come back."

(TO BE CONTINUED) '» %,'s - ' Washington ' Letter --By- National Editorial Aaaodatloa Washington, January 23--President Roosevelt is credited with a smart trick which may enable him to reach many of his objectives in legislative matters. His social insurance program in its political aspects has pitted class against class the aftermath which is likely to rebound to the benefit of the White House. It was wellexecuted strategy which permitted .Administration leaders on Capitol^Hill to make the social security program the paramount issue and shelved the knotty bonus problem into secondplace, drove a wide wedge into powerful lobbies, such as the Townsend plan for old-age pensions, and diverted organized labor's fire from revision of NRA. Recently the President said, "Let us not confuse objectives with tnotives," which affords a clue to current doings here. It must not be as • sumed that everything is milk and Honey for the New Dealers. The Senate, not as disciplined as the Hottse* has been kicking at the traces by caustic opposition to the Roosevelt World Court plan, monetary and munition matters and sniping at nominees for high government posts who must obtain Senatorial confirmation. The bonus for veterans, old-age pensions and unemployment insurance all call for a heavy drain on the public funds gathered primarily from the taxpayers. The problem of financing these special "class" projects in addition to the enormous public works program is something not easily solved. The unemployment insuarnce and old-age pension hearings will start within a few days. The White House is making it a rush order to expidite action by 44 state legislatures which meet this year. Several amendments to bills incorporating the President's recommendations will be considered before this history-making social security bill reaches the White House for signature. The cost of a payroll tax may prove an Incentive to further mechanization or the gradual substitution of* machines lor manpower. The Townsend plan of giving each old person $200 per month with the understanding it must be spent is a scheme which at other times would be laughed off. The nation-wide propaganda has given it unmerited standing as an issue of the day. Frankly, it is considered a castle in the air for the old folks. Nearly 20,000 clubs have been established and the sinews of war are derived from monthly dues of offe dollar making a war chest of millions. Some promoters are getting rich and legislators are getting frazzled nerves at the avalanche of letters many threatening their political careers. The drpam plan is spreading to such an extent that Congress has been asked to lower the minimum age from 60 to 50 years to include a-few million other beneficiaries. The arithmetic of the scheme is against it. The agitation may pave the way for liberalizing the President's $30 per month pension proposal. Unless the Administration consents to modifications of its public work plan it will encounter snags from the legislators representing the rural districts. The farmers have lost patience with administrative features which permit costly idleness and make farm help almost Impossible to obtain at a reasonable wage." The slo>- gan of the Farm Bureau Federation and the National Grange in connection with those who accept relief rather than work when jobs are available nrtay find its .way into relief rules: "they who will not work on government or other projects at fair pay, shall not eat." The organized farmers subscribe to the policy of Capt. John Smith at Jamestown when a few of the early settlers wanted food but refused to work. The National Grange has also demanded a halt on land utilization schemes. They point to the inconsistency of spending hundreds of millions on reclamation and irrigation opening new farm land and then restrict production and pay farmers to reduce their crops. The alphabetical agencies are accepted as emergency requirements, but reports show farmers would like to see these agencies abandoned at an early date. Mr. Roosevelt's antagonism to public utility companies will take definite form shortly in sweeping recommendations for establishment of governmental control or possibly Federal operation. The report of the Federal Trade Commission Issued Monday shows that efforts of states to regulate holding companies have failed. Here is where the New Deal s t e p s i n to the picture with legislation aimed at th6se groups controlling through stock ownership. Long legal battles are in the offing as the power Intereats fight back to preserve their lights.
