Face is Her Fortune. Very few women could accept an assurance as to their uglinesy and regard it as a compliment. Looking first at a poster declaring her to be "the ugliest woman on earth" and then at the woman, who is on view at Hull Fair, Rev. Henry Gordon, chaplain of the Showmen's Guild, remarked "Your show is genuine." The lord mayor and members of the corporation markets committee expressed thelr agreement, and the woman smiled her appreciation. Mrs. Mary Ann Bevan--ithat is her although she certainly looks nearer 60. She ds a widow with four chii- dren, her husband having died eight years ago. She has been making a living--it not a fortune--out of her face for many years. Born in London, she was educated In an elementary echool there, and before she was 20 she was being exhibited. After traveling this country she was engaged by Barnum's and toured America. * She returned to England two years ago, and is now going from fair to fair. For the first time her claim to be the ugllest woman is being challeng- ed, but she %s not prepared to forfeit her claim to another ugly woman, who is on view at Hull's great pleas- ure carnival. Mrs. Bevan supports her strange claim @n which ehe hes pride as well as, peace, not only by her large face name--gives her age as under 40, | Y B THE DAIL Wt the Editor Hears | That some Englishwomen are tak- ing an active par: in the elections, Dame Clara Butt is campaigning in Brighton for C.

This great "fiddler" made his debut eight years ago, before the outbreak of the great war, and a doubting, skeptical audience was transformed into an enraptured unit throbbing with each note of the violin as the young marvel plied his bow, himself lost in its beauty. Telmanyi will be the first of the attractions but many others are to follow. On December 12th, the opera "Cosi fan tutte," one of Mozart's works, will be presented, and it needs no recommendation. Of the London String Quartette, which comes to Kingston on January 22nd, the New York Herald said: "This is quartette playing of the best sort, in which beauty, fullness and balance of tone, and a finely fin- ished ensemble are united with a deeply musical feeling. Thelr per- formance js filled with vitality, with an underlying and propulsive sense of rhythm, with an engrossing and kindly enthusiasm." The final attraction of the season, on February, will be a concert by that pelebrated English planiste, Myra Hess, and she needs no introduction in the same hgll lagt season. + Joseph Haydn, Great Composer.

It has been said of him that his childhood ended with his sixth year. Certain it is that from that period Began a struggle with hard for. tune, but an indomitable cheerfulness and devotion to h® art carried him through troubled waters. Franz Joseph Haydn was born on March 31, 1732, the son of a wheel- wright and a typical hardworking Aus- trian peasant. The father had learned to play the harp by ear and was fond of singing the old peasant Lieder to its accompaniment. He noticed that his boy, Joseph, was attracted by mu- sical sounds, and when he found the boy imitating the schoolmaster's play- ing of the violin by rubbing two sticks together he made up his mind to make the child a musician. The boy was del lighted with the project, and he was sent to his cousin at Hamburg to be trained. . It was to the sweetness of his voice that Haydn owed his first advance- ment. He was but eight when Reutter, the choirmaster of St. Stephen's in Vienna, heard him and gave him a place. The work was hard, but the longing of the lad for training in com- position was becoming a passion and it helped him through. He covered with attempts at masses and anthems ev- ery scrap of paper that came his way, and a gift of money from his father was laid out in the purchase of muisi- cal textbooks. . For ten years Haydn was under Reutter, who shortly after taking up the lad formed a violent dislike for him, and at 18 turned Haydn adrift. He shared a wretched garret with an- other poor musician, and gained a pit- tance by playing the fiddle at balls and entertainments, : A winter season went by and a tradesman named Buchloz loaned Haydn 150 florins, which was the start of the musician's fight upward. He went to live in the same house with the Italian poet, Metastasio, whq be- came interested in him and introduced him to Porpora, the most eminent master of singing of his time.
