Mr. and Mrs. Sallie being the Confessions of a new wife ... by Gladys Baker Illustrated by Paul Robinson Copyright 1925 by Publishers Autocaster Service Lemoyne's Debut A cozy place is the Opera Comique. In spite of its tier after tier of galleries and its wide parquet, one has the feeling that here are banded together a group of persons who love music for itself alone. Unlike the famous Opera House—or the Academie "You have meant much to Lemoyne and," he caught my gaze and held it unwaveringly with his own, "much to me." Suddenly I had an idea thinking over what he forgetting to remember a greeting of flowers. I knew how this neglected consciously enter Lemoyne and unfit her for the tional task. "Listen, Barry," I said something for me? "You have only to be replied with an ear luminous eyes. "All right.

"You have meant much to Lemoyne and," he caught my gaze and held it unwaveringly with his own. "much to me." National de Musique et de Danse—with its magnificent stairway, luxurious loges and gigantic chandelier. "Every seat is taken, I do believe," I announced to Barrington Pierce, who was seated with me in a box to the right of the stage. "Yes," he nodded, glancing with approval over the well-filled house, "they come year after year to hear the same operas. They greet them like old friends. Then, too, opera is not a luxury to them, but a necessity like bread and wine. Besides," he continued, "the admission here is quite within reach of all, not more than the movies at home. The other opera house is quite different. There you sit next to tourists, nouveau riche and others who come merely because they think it is the thing to do or because they have a new gown to display between the acts as they parade the length of the promenade." "You've absolutely sized it up," I agreed, nodding my head; "we went the other evening to hear 'Faust.' The production was unusually fine and the ballet especially good, but somehow I felt the lackadaisical way in which it was received. An entrancing Marguerite was Jane Laval, and the music in the last act reached an appealing and magnificent climax, but the audience was too affected to show its appreciation by applause." The occupants of our box included the Lowell DeWights, Barrington Pierce and myself. That afternoon Curtiss received an important cable from the office and as a result he had made an engagement to meet a business associate who had just arrived in Paris and with whom he was to dine. The DeWights were planning to occupy another box with friends, but Lemoyne, insisting that I should be there, asked them to come with us and act as chaperones. She had rare intuition and seemed to sense the fact that Curtiss would never have consented to my going with the young musician alone. "I can hardly wait to hear Lemoyne, she's bound to be superb!" commented Mr. DeWight, who was one of her countless admirers and at the same time one of her staunchest friends. "How did it happen, so unexpectedly?" I inquired. "Well," began Barry, "it seems that Mlle. Kousnezoff, who is a favorite here, was to have sung the part, but her son was quite ill and she broke the engagement. She's really remarkable, though well in her forties she has the figure, voice and personality of a girl in her teens. So you see Lemoyne will have no easy time filling her place." She had rare intuition and seemed to sense the fact that Curtiss would never have consented to my going with the young musician alone. "I can hardly wait to hear Lemoyne, she's bound to be superb!" commented Mr. DeWight, who was one of her countless admirers and at the same time one of her staunchest friends. "How did it happen, so unexpectedly?" I inquired. "Well," began Barry, "it seems that Mlle. Kousnezoff, who is a favorite here, was to have sung the part, but her son was quite ill and she broke the engagement. She's really remarkable, though well in her forties she has the figure, voice and personality of a girl in her teens. So you see Lemoyne will have no easy time filling her place." "Oh, but you don't doubt for a moment that she will?" I questioned, anxiously scanning his face. "She CAN do it. She has the voice and is in splendid condition." "Despite the cocktails she took in our honor the day we were at your studio for tea?" "Oh, I doubt if they had anything in them but orange juice. Lemoyne is first of all, a clever actress, and she pregended to be drinking that day to tease me or rather to make me become alarmed about her voice. But I know Lemoyne." he spoke in lowered tones, "she's acted so much that unless one knows her intimately one is never certain when she is playing to the audience or when she is being herself." "But I'm sure she'll make a tremendous hit tonight!" I exclaimed, going back to the former subject. "Let's pray." "Your unselfish interest and loyalty for her are unusually fine," he remarked. "You have meant much to Lemoyne and, he caught my gaze and held it unwaveringly with his own, 'much to me.'" I blushed, for there was sincerity and warmth in his vibrant voice. "Shhh-shhh—" hissed the crowd to the conversationalists all over the house and just then the curtains were drawn. "They demand absolute silence," whispered Mr. DeWight. Just as Barry had said, the audience was "en rapport" with the singers from the very first note of Massenet's melodious score. The stillness was so marked that one occasionally heard a sigh—the interest so intense that it could almost be felt. From the very first I sensed the fact that Lemoyne was not giving her best. She sang superficially, without colour or allure. "She'll do better in the next act when she sings 'Adieu, Our Little Table,' announced Barry when the curtain went down and the lights flared up. 'The first act doesn't really give her a chance.'" I was greatly relieved. During the intermission the DeWights began discussing the amazing number of flowers and telegrams that Lemoyne had received wishing her success. "By jove! I've done a terrible thing," said Barrington Pierce. "I forgot to send anything. I get more absent-minded daily, I do believe. But Lemoyne knows it's a stupid, failing of mine and will forgive my negligence, I am sure." "Women often forgive the lack of attention, but it hurts just the same," I replied, lowering my voice. I knew Lemoyne's adoration for him and I felt sad to think Barry had neglected her on her night of nights. Once again the curtain was drawn and revealed Manon and her dashing Chevalier in the happy atmosphere of their little home. Manon has heard that her husband is about to be seized and is under great emotional stress when she begins to sing farewell to the little table and to her cozy surroundings which have been filled with unspeakable bliss. "Now, now," whispered Barry, leaning forward and at the same time keeping time with his forefinger to the melancholy tune. Again, however, I was conscious of the lack of some vital quality in the singer's voice. I had seldom heard the aria before without being moved to tears. It is true that the technical part of the work was well done, the notes were brilliant and, like icicles, were sharp and crystal clear. But the thing that makes the role of Manon so appealing and touches the heart of the simple working man is the sympathy created for the innocent girl-wife. It was plain to see that Lemoyne had failed to produce the desired effect. "Great Scott," murmured Barry, "something's wrong with Lemoyne. I've never heard her do anything as poorly as that. She simply sang the words and kept time to the music; that's not enough. She won't even get by if she doesn't wake up to the part!" Suddenly I had an idea. I had been thinking over what he had said about forgetting to remember Lemoyne with a greeting of flowers or even a note. I knew how this neglect would subconsciously enter Lemoyne's very being and unfit her for the tremendous emotional task. "Listen, Barry," I said, "will you do something for me?" "You have only to ask, ma cherie," he replied with an eager light in his luminous eyes. "All right. Good! Go back stage—find Lemoyne—speak to her—tell her we're all WITH her—make her understand that YOU are too that it means FOR SALE—1000 clean Valencia orange trees. Frank Champlin, 810 Zeyn St. 4t Work is just being emptied on the widening, repairing and straightening of many bad turns on the Santa Paula-Ojal road, according to recent information received from the Touring Department of the National Automobile Club. This grade is now in excellent condition and will attract many motorists during the oturing season. An ideal Sunday drive is the one via coast highway to Girard, through Santa Susana Pass to Moorpark; Grimes Canyon road to Fillmore, Santa Paula, Ojal and Ventura, returning via coast highway. This is one of the most beautiful trips in Southern California. The Grimes Canyon road from Moorpark to Fillmore is a good gravel road and very scenic. Plans are under way for the eliminating of many turns and grades on this road as well as the paving of the entire distance, within the near future.

The proper method of listing solvent credits and foreign securities for taxation under the new California law advanced endorsed by the California Taxation Improvement Association. The new tax law, known as Section 3627-A of the Political Code, provides that "Notes, debentures, shares of capital stock, bonds, solvent credits and mortgages or deeds of trust," not exempt under the laws of this state, shall be assessed at seven per cent of their full cash value thereof, provided that the taxpayer "shall have included such property in his annual statement, under oath, made and delivered to the assessor, as required by law," and provided, further "that in the event of failure or refusal to file such annual statements, such property shall be assessed at its full cash value." Section 3627-A also provides that a taxpayer may ask for and have deducted from his taxable solvent credits (but not from stocks and bonds) seven per cent of his debts owing to a bona fide resident of California, if such debts are not secured by mortgage, deed of trust or contract on real estate in this state. For example, a concern has, we will say, solvent accounts receivable amounting to $10,000. If this property were assessed at 50 per cent of its value, and the owner thereof owed $5,000 to an individual, bank or other corporation of California, these accounts would be assessed at $5,000 less a deduction for debts allowable of $2,500, which would leave them paying the tax on $2,500. In past years this would have necessitated their payment of approximately $118.75 actual tax. NOTICE OF SALE OF STOCK FOR DELINQUENT ASSESSMENT Office of the ANAHEIM EUCALYPTUS WATER COMPANY, R.

Anaheim Eucalyptus Water Co., By M. E. BEEBE, Secretary, 2-18-8t For example, a concern has, we will say, solvent accounts receivable amounting to $10,000. If this property were assessed at 50 per cent of its value, and the owner thereof owed $5,000 to an individual, bank or other corporation of California, these accounts would be assessed at $5,000 less a deduction for debts allowable of $2,500 which would leave them paying the tax on $2,500. In past years this would have necessitated their payment of approximately $118.75 actual tax, but, under the new law, the tax would be approximately $16.62. In event of failure or neglect to list these securities and solvent credits with the assessor, at the time of filing the statements required by law, the taxpayer would lose the benefits of the reduced tax under the new law, because the law requires the assessor to assess such non-listed property upon discovery at its full cash value. Discovery of such property through death or otherwise leaves the assessor no alternative but to assess at full cash value, and if such property has escaped assessment, upon discovery he must assess it for all the years so escaping, up to five years. The following property comes under this law: Bonds of all corporations whose property is located wholly outside the state of California. Bonds of corporations whose property is located partly outside the state of California are assessable for the proportion of the amount located outside of this state. Bonds of corporations which are in part secured by pledge of collateral or personal property, or which owned property located outside of this state, taxed in proportion. Bonds of all other states, their counties, cities and political subdivisions. Bonds of all foreign countries. Capital stock of all corporations whose property is situated wholly outside the state of California. Capital stock of California corporations which own property located outside the state, taxed in proportion to the value of the property outside of this state. Mortgages and notes or loans secured by property located outside of this state. Chattel mortgages, notes, loans and accounts receivable whether in or out of California. Note or mortgage secured partly by real estate in California and partly by collateral, chattels, or personal property (the proportionate value of the real property is exempt).
