"You can no moro hurry a voice than you can hurry a flowor, but most pu pils -want to become star singers in u month or two. "A lady said tq one of my friends, a superb teacher: "'I'm going abroad next month, and I want twenty-flvo lessons In volco cul turo before 1 sail.' "'Impossible, said the teacher. ' "Why Impossible?' said tho lady. 'I could take two lessons a day some days.'

Do you know what sho used to call our Idol? A hypocrite. Tho words bothered me not a little, and I spoke to my chum nbout It, but sho answered me In her thoughtful little way: "Well. 1 guess that may be. Hetty is n hypocrite if being a hypocrite mu'imi I snying little kind things billed on small pretexts nnu leaving uusnld the unkind things, no matter how good a reason there is for sayhig them.
