MY dear old fiddle has made me
the. happiest sir! in the world
happy because it made me inde
pendent and happier because I love It
for the music 1 draw from It. and the
reai happiness It gives to others.
I call miy deal old Sirad "My Fiddle."
I think it grander to call the dear
thing; a fiddle than a violin for the
same reason that most women. think It
nobler to be called a woman than a
lady.
Whenever I stop to think of how I
first learned to love a fiddle it really
makes me sad. and when 1 really pos
sessed a fiddle all my own.' words
cannot express the deep feeling and
untold gir.h happiness that vibrated
through 11 le. Oh. it was a grand mo
ment! I was 12 years old at the time,
and a cripple. I.avins been a sufferer
for years with a painful knee trouble.
I was forced to go to a charity hos
pital for an operation kill or cum
clothing but sadness around me a
sight that almost equaled the excru
ciating pain that 1 waa undergoing
dally from the surgeon.
Child that I was. I even prayed for
death to end my pain, and on the day
when I really think my agony had
reached the olimax, and hopes for my
recovery had failed, on account of my
weakened condition, a poor little crip
pled boy. propped up on an adjoining
rot. started to play his fiddle. ' How
those beautiful tones crept forth and
cheered evory sufferer In the ward. It
was glorious ev;n to me me, who was
ready to die.
Well, to make a long story short
that child and that fiddle cured me. I
began to breathe a new life, and in
five weeks was well enough to leave
the hospital. Hut how I did long for
that child and his fiddle, and my doc
tor, a grand, noble, manly man. knowing
my heart pined for something, and I
waa too young for romance, reflected
that a fiddle and a teacher were the
only things to complete my recovery.
I shall never forget the look my dear
dady gave me when he heard the doc
tor's prescription. It was. "A fiddle
and a teacher once every 24 hours."
'that prescription was filled in double
quick time, and from thar" time on I
started to get well and really to learn
as.J love everything.
A few years later, when financial
reverses fell hard on our family, dear
old fiddle came to the rescue, and has
been the old bread-winner ever since.
U! course, my fiddle has brought me
into prominence I might add fame as
I have played on many important occa
sions before many prominent people
of the world, both In Kurope and
America.
My character of Caudlne In "The
Pink Lady" inspires me to such a pitch
in the third act that I fairly revel In
the music of my dear old fiddle, and
when I play "Beautiful Lady" my very
soul goes out to everybody in the thea
ter. I know It. I see It at every per
formance, and I am satisfied.
Oh! It's grand for a woman to be
Independent, and it is grander for a
girl to have an old friend like "My
Kiddle" to guard and support her.

EDITED BT LEOII CA89 BAtX
CATHKINE OOCNTISS remarked the
other day that although all wo
mankind is thinner as a species
this season than at any season hereto
fore, she will bet a cookie to a door
knob that the stockings they hang up
will not be proportionately skinny.
Gotns; right on with Hiss Countiss
here's a story about her that is true.
Having a fine sense of humor, she re
lates It herself, on herself. Two sea
sons ago. when she was starring In
"The Awakening of Helena Richie." she
arrived in Philadelphia Just a few hours
before time to open the evening per
formance. On her way to the hotel she
was driven past the theater where sba
waa to play, and noticed the electric
sign displayed. The Awakening of
Helena Richie" In 10,000 worth of let
ters as yet unllghted was being made
into a aijn. Not one word about Cath
rlne Countiss. And Miss Countiss"
contract expressly stipulated that her
name was to appear In all the billing
and in the electric signs. So. when
she got to her hotel she called her
manager and told him nicely, but firm
ly, tivat the sign must be changed. He
said it couldn't be done. It was too
ate. Very well. Miss Countiss would
telegraph bf New Tork manager.
Threatened with the investigation as
to whoso negligence had really been
at fault, the manager's local manager,
advance man. or who. Miss Countiss'
manager rushed down and had the sign
changed. Naturally the work was
rushed. And some of the lights did not
work properly, but the electricians
doubled forces and worked rapidly. And
at theater time Miss Countiss, having
aired her. grievances, wept a bit.
stormed considerably and then quieted
Into her own charming self, drove past
to see the sign. In great biasing
lights across the front of the theater
stretched the sign. "Cat Coun
ties." The stars were dark.

as she can make out. a Jury is A body

in abasement." Maybe he was used
to falling to the floor in a basement.
Trlxie Friganxa now signs here name
Trixle Fiiransa GoetUer or at least
she has it that way on a "Wlshing
all - my - friends - a - Merry-Christmas'"
card in a dramatic sheet. And Mr.
Goettler is a member of Only Their
Husbands' Club.
Alice Lindahl, Portlander. is appear
