Due to high prices of n ative prod

workers have found it cheaper and

Caucasus, in which the A m ericans are

been found to be practicable in re

believe tiiis.
L e t Miss M eiuis con
vince you. She says:
" I dreamed it!
I dreamed th a t I
was on a concert stage singing w ith
perfect freedom of range and expres
sion.
I know th a t a t last I had
: learned to sing properly, and th a t I
lhad ‘a rriv e d .’
" T h e dream was so vivid th a t It
seemed an ac tu a l experience, which
it really turned out to be tow ard the
end of m y dream , fo r when my hus
band awakened and surprised al h e a r
in g me singing a t three o’clock in the
m orning, came and awoke me a t the
piano, where I was sittin g in m y
night dress.
"W h e n m y husband awoke me I
was more puzzled than surprised, for
w ith me Btill was the impression th a t
.something had changed in m y th ro at.
A cloud seemed to have passed from
It, and in my ears was still ring ing
the echo of m y own voice. I was so
convinced th a t the desired tonal q u al
ity had come a t last th a t I did not
move from the piano seat, but began
to play and sing again.
T h en we
both realized th a t the new tone had
come to stay, and was an established
re a lity th a t had survived the d ream .”
T h e dream came to Miss M eiuis be
fore she was to give a concert fo r
c h a rity . She had been accepted cor
d ially before th a t tim e on the concert
stage, b u t since then she has carried
(her audiertces by storm . On one oc
casion a ll the m usicians in th e o r
c h e s tra th a t accompanied her laid
down th e ir Instrum ents and. rising
to applaud, competed w ith the a u d i
ence in an ovation.
D r. S. U . L a w to n , a noted N ew
Y ork psychologist, says th a t a n um
ber of subconscious causes m igh t
have been reasons for Miss M eiuis’
apparent failu re fo rm erly to achieve
¡the vocal tones desired, and th a t these
subconscious
obstacles
would
be
‘¡Inked in her m ind w ith th e idea th a t
she could not succeed.
"She awoke from her dream com -
¡pietely wrapped up in herself and
her singing,” he said. "She forgot en
tire ly her subconscious im pedim enta
to her perfect tone, and, in a moment
of self-abandonm ent and unconscious
ness she h it the note and got the
.tone. In w h a t may be term ed a psy
chological daze, she crossed the b a r
rie r."
Some have compared her case to
th a t of Du M a u rie r's T rilb y .” T h a t
