Beattie, rector, officiating. The bride was at tired in a princess gown of white satin with a long veil which was used by her mother at her own wedding in the same church. She carried a large bouquet of bride roses. The maids wore pink chiffon over pale blue silk with leghorn hats and car ried great bunches of pink roses. Gifts Valued at $300,000.

For a song can set a nation In arms —think of “Wo don't want to fight, but by Jingo, If we do.” or what “The Wearin' o’ the Green” has meant in Ireland. A song can save a human life—"And Shall Treluwny Die?" And to turn from the particular to the gen eral, u song can comfort the sorrow ful, can nerve the coward, can calm the angry, can reconcile the estranged, can make bold the faint-hearted lo er; a song can touch the tenderest emotions, and It can arouse the fierc est passions of mankind. In short there Is nothing that a song cannot do with the human heart More, perhaps, than most singere. have I experienced v. hat a song can do. For there is an indefinable some thing In my voice which often has an extrordlnary effect upon my hearers. I do not say this In vanity, but sin*- ply as a fact, testified to by score* sad scores of people. This Indefinable romethlng—the Scottish word "uncannlness” perhaps best expresses it—ln my voice has of ten affected my hearers to the verg of fainting, especially when I have been singing strongly dramatic songs. Indeed, I know of one occasion when a gentleman was so overcome by this eeriness of my voice that he fainted clean away; whilst, ou another occa sion, a lady at a dinner party, hear ing my voice through a gramophone was so deeply stirred and moved that she was obliged to retire.

God given, not made b> me—l mnn tion it solely as an example of what a voice can do. But to come to more concrete instances, I a:n proud of tin fact that a song recital of mine bought u picture for the National gal lery. One day, Mr. Frank Rutter, the well known art critic came to me aud said that he was very anxious to secure an example of Boudins, the grout French Impressionist painter's work for the nation. We hua no example of this famous painter's work, and there happened to be a chance in a thousand of securing one. “Very well," I said, “I will give an impressionist song recital,” and I did, introducing for the first time impres sionist songs —that is songs in which I seek to convey an effect, quite inde pendent of the words. And to have a fair test of my powers as a “song paiuter,” I sang in Norwegian, a lau guage, I need hardly ray, totally un familiar to my audience. Nevertheless, they understood what l was Hinging about as clearly as if l had sung In English. For afterwards many came to me and said, "Ah, mad ame, that first song you sang was about the snow, was it not? Yes, wo thought so, we could see the snow falling:” or, again, “That third song, madame, it was about a summer’s day —we could feel how warm It was. we could hear the bees humming, we knew it was summer.” And so with the proceeds of the concert the Boudin was bought for the National Gallery.

Nnext morning, when the queen rose, she said to one of her lad ies-tu-waiting—so I was told afte r wards—that, thanks to my singing, she had for the flrst time in many buys enjoyed a good night’s rest, and that my singing had greatly t heered and comforted her, adding that, if possible, she would dkc me to give another concert that day. A messenger was sent over to th, hotel at Hallater, where I was stop ping, and, fortunately, I had not yet gone south. But my accompanist, Mr. Bird, had already returned to Ixmdon. 1 Bent word explaining the predica mont, and back came a message tha» I was not to mind, the queen’s daugh ter —Princess Henry oi Battenberg— would accompany me, and I was to come to tea to try over ray songs. So I went to tea. and In the evening, ac companied by Princess Henry, whose musical gifts are well known, 1 gave another concert.
