BEAUTY P-AGE The True Story of How Gallazini, Famous Opera Star, Got Her Marvelous Voice Which Thrills Thousands Every Night CMatinees Wednesday and Saturdayj Dear Readers : I am telling my story in the hope that the thousands of American -women who read this newspaper may take heed and profit by my experi- ence. Yoififnay think you will neveribe a singer, but I am telling you that you can sing! Don't deny it! You can! All you have to do is to follow my in- structions implicitly and within fifteen minutes, you will have a brand new voice. Spend the time pleasantly, reading a book, perhaps, and before you know it, the hands of the clock will have moved around one-quarter of an hour, and there you are-a singer! Here is my story:- ar if lk I was brought up in a little country town of New York, and ever since the 'tender age of six, Cmonthsj, I had been noted for my loud, clear, voice which could be heard for miles around and was even known, at times, to wake neighbors from their sleep at night. As I grew into gentle girlhood, however, this gift was taken from me, until at the a-ge of eighteen, I was unable to sing a note. Gradually all my friends drew away from me. At first, I could not understand why, for this is an affliction of which even your dearest friend may not speak to you. My miserable posi- tion was brought home to me at a party one night, where Lorenzo, who used to be my steady, as the small-town folk say, paid assiduous attention to Isabel Abell, who had such a loud, clear, ringing voice, that a totally deaf gentleman was seen to start when she reached one of her high notes. That night, I rushed home, Hung myself on my hard, little bed, and burst into a flood of desperate tears. What should I do? As I sat up in despair, I heard something rustle under me. It was a news- paper, and staring up at me 'from it was the adver- tisement of this miracu- lous cream to improve the voice. I immediately sent for it, and live months later, it arrived! Its power was so great that even as I walked home from the Post Office with the package under my 111 ,170 arm, Lorenzo, passing me on the street, raised his hat with an atfable nod, in a manner fully ap- proved by the Etiquette Book. I then went home, and delicately rubbed the Marvello Cream on my throat, as directed. Scarce- ly had 'the fifteen minutes elapsed when without even opening my mouth, a full, rich, piercing tone came forth. All the work- ers rushed forth from the factory, thinking it was the noon whistle. They gathered in admiring crowds outside my win- dow,-and from that day on, my fame began. lk lk Pl' You can do the same! Do it! Now! just send for the Mar- vello Voice Cream to 62,859 Saint's Blvd., Cin- cinnati, Ohio, DO NOT SEND ONE CENT! just pay the post- man 317.85 Cto cover postagej. If you're not pleased, try and get your money back! QSig.nedj Gallazini

ATHLETICS Foot-ball One of the biggest events of the season's athletics was Hunter's foot-ball game with Hale for was it Yarvard?j University.

When the crowd saw the glorious heliotrope and white fluttering under the stars, they were thrilled as they had never been thrilled before, as they tenderly thought of what those colors had always stood for,-victory! As the Hunter eleven came marching daintily down to the field in their lavender bloomers and white silk jerseys, a mighty cheer arose from the throats of the multi- tude ........ a cheer that shook the rafters of the gigantic stadium.

They were shouting their uni- versally popular cheer. When do we eat? We want lunch! When do we eat? We want lunch! As the last dim echoes of the cheers died out, there remained to view only a deserted field, lonely and silent under the red glow of the set- ting sun Qor was it the stars before?j. ak ar 1: CLIMAX O:F 'THE SEASON The big climax of 'the season, which all the school a W a i t e d with breathless interest for months, and which proved fully as thrilling as it had been expected to be, was the game of Prisoner's Base, between Hunter and the University of Colorado.
