Ballads" began to appear in 1B68
In the same year he frote his bur
lesque "Dulcamara," which was fol
lowed by more burlesques, dramas,
comedies and fairy comedies.

his enduring title to fame. The series

ended with "The Gondoliers" in 1889.

nine," "The Mikado" and "The Yeo
man of the Ouard."
Sir Arthur Sullivan, an English
composer, was also born in London,
May 13. 1842. His father was a mili
tary bandmaster ana taught his son
before nine years of age to play every
wind Instrument used In the band,
thus laying the foundation of the
fine and wide orchestral knowledge
afterward displayed by Sir Arthur.
In 1856. Sullivan won the Men
delssohn scholarship of the Royal
Academy of Music.
In 1862, he attracted attention by
his music to Shakespeare's "Tempest."
His serious works include the ora
torios "Prodigal Son" and "Light of
the world." anthems, hymns and
numerous favorite songs. His most
popular compositions are the Savoy
series of burlesque operettas, which
he produced in conjunction with W.

positions Is the arrangement of Long
fellow's "Golden Legends." which he
set to music In 1888. In 1891 he
produced his grand opera "Ivanhoe,"
a masterly work which did not win
the success Its merits deserved.
"The Gondoliers," produced by Gil
bert and Sullivan, had the signal

The Blindfold Test
Is Simple
with
Take two or three varieties of bread and serve
them to your family on the game plate. Ask
them to judge which one is the best. Watch
which one comes out on top which one gets
90 of the votes.
The flavor of Spun Bread is so outstanding,
so much better than the ordinary bread that
it easily wins by comparison.
One other test which we would like to urge you
to make is to try toasting "Spun Bread."
Toast made from Spun Bread is a revelation.
The outstanding flavor of this new bread is
at its best in toast. And note the tender crusts
and how quickly it browns. Spun Bread is
truly the king of Toast Breads.
