I . Brawley IN Chester, South Carolina, Mr. James P. Brawley was honi, an only child, and a true southern gentleman. His mother died at his birth, and i departing, intrusted her young son to the loving solicitude of his grand- ' mother and an aunt, Mrs. Trenholm. I The marked talent which is so essential a part of his character early re- ■ vealed itself, and he left Chester to attend a school for boys in Boston. While 1 he was pursuing his academic studies in this school, Mr. Brawley also attended j • the New England Conservatory of Music, where he distinguished himself by 1 his musical ability. At the age of nineteen, he went to New York and studied ; under Ml ' . William Mason, a musician and composer of great repute, and at tb. ' Srb..,,l ,,f . p|,li..d . rts, under Miss Kate S. Chittenden. Miss Cliitten- den ninnifesli ' d a warm infrresl in liei- pupil, delightedly reiterating: He is su irlmlli musical! J ' ! I For four years Mr. Brawley taught in a Missouri crjUege; he then spenf jt; ' ' I two fruitful years in Vienna, studying under Lcschetizky. In 1901, he I came fii Peace as piano and organ supervisor, and with the exception of a lii-ief have of alisiMice in IfUl, he has remained here, amusing, inimitable, i ami beloved. .- I The luischicvous gleam laughing in his eyes as be makes an announcement, ; ' the deep rumble of his voice in the dining room silencing the shrill chatter of feminine tones, the calm deliberation of gait on his famous morning strolls around the fountain, these are but colorful fragments of a personality that is vastly intriguing. Music, imperious, wistful, has chosen his body as a domicile and has lavished upon him a humonins and philosophic understand- , ing and a bland and impervious content. As the roguishly absent-minded Mr. Peter Brawley, he is teased and cajoled and adored by all the Peace girls, and as the brilliant instructor, he is offered by his pupils a young awe and sincere adulation.
