"The testimony has been filled with many small things which tend ed to make married life unbear able. One may be suing to death by gnats. I don't think that either knew the art of living to gether, of making, self-sacrifices.

He held the dollar so close to his eyes that he did not see the finer things whnh make for a happy homt. He work ed 16 hours a day.

The "Duet of the Flowers" from Madam Butterfly, Fucinni's opera is given by Frances Alda and Sophie Bras lau, and Alda also appears in the Aria of "The Sweetest Maiden" from La Boheme. The Elman String quartet interpret the witchery of Tschaikowski's "Andante Canta bile." John McCormick sings with wonderful richness and fervor, "When You Come Back," and Er nestine Schumann-Heink renders "Onward Christian Soldiers" with wonderful fervency and inspiration. "Dreaming of Home, Stveet Home," "When Tony Goes Over the Top," "The Americans Come," "I can Always Find a Little Sunshine in th Y. M. C. A.," are among the no table vocal records. If half the pleasure in dance mu sic depends on the way it is played you know the reason for the popu larity of Joseph C. Smith's orches tra, which, fortunately, all devotees of the dance may enjoy by means of Victor records. One of the latest records that this orchestra has made is "Mary" a fox-trot with a song in it, which is equivalent to saying a dance number with a kick in it.
