'BROOKLYN LIFE 22 you. I am just cleaning my table for a vacation." Morley has just sailed for a holiday in France. "7 INTERESTING PUPIL RE- CITAL was that given by the pupils of Edwin Johnson, whose voice studios are at 149 East Sixty-first Street, Manhattan, and 403 Hancock Street, Brooklyn. The recital took place at the New York studios on Wednesday evening June 23rd. The program opened with a duet by Ware, "Good-night," sung by the Messrs.

Walsh and Norton. An aria from "Tosca" was sung with great dramatic fervor by Mr. John McKenna, tenor soloist of St. Thomas Aauinas' R. C.

Church, and Miss Wilma of Brooklyn, has leased the northeast corner of Nevins Street and Atlantic Avenue, which will be remodeled for their occu-, pancy. Norman W. Thomas, of Leroy Thomas, was formerly with the N. W. Thomas, Automobile Agency.

Mr. Leroy was "formerly president of the L. S. Paper Box Manufacturing Company, Inc. The members of the firm thus have had a great deal of business experience, and they know the real estate needs of business.

The firm employs three salesmen and the business it has been able to handle in the downtown business section on Atlantic and Flatbush Avenues and from Bedford Avenue to Borough Hall has justified its entry into this section, Mr. Leroy stated this week. Lehrenkrauss Travel Agency. This little book is complete with trip that the weary vacationist may take. No longer is there any need to worry.

Just sit down and read through this attractively fitted up book and decide whether it's Canada, Nova Scotia, the mountains or a trip across the country that is luring you away. The book is so complete in make-up that every detail of the various trips is explained perfectly. Is it canoe cruising, jaunts to Lake George and the Adirondacks, or ocean trips to Bermuda and points south or north, that you want They are all delightfully described Lehrenkrauss' blue book. The book obligingly lists trips from one day tours to round-the-world trips taking four months. That many residents in Brooklyn-are seeing in the blue book a solution for their vacation worries is the assertion of M.

J. Kelly, manager of the travel department of Lehrenkrauss. Many requests are made for the blue book before it is ready to be given out. It may be obtained now at the office of the agency, 359 Fulton Street. Each year it is improved, the agency profiting by the questions that are put to it by travelers concerning information they need.

Now the blue book is so arranged that it may be read at a glance. Wight, soprano soloist of Calvary Baptist Church, Westwood, N. 'sang Coombs "Her Rose." Hawles "My Little Love" was given by Miss Alexina Hirsch, whose contralto voice is particularly rich and warm in quality; Miss Nina Maher sang in a brilliant, ringing soprano the Waltz Song from ''Romeo, et Juliette." An aria rom "Don Sebastiano," by Donizetti, was sung with great emotional intensity by Miss Kathryn Behnke, contralto soloist of the. Hillside Presbyterian Church, and the "Lullaby Lady" of Station WRNY. So This Is Grandeur! "The abodes of Indian potentates are an incredible mixture of the magnificent and the cheap, the grandiose and the ludicrously homely.

Cows back on the front steps the anteroom is filthy with the droppings of pigeons beggars doze under the gates or search one another's heads for lice; in one of the inner courts fifty courtezans from the city are singing interminable songs in honor of the birth of the Maharaja's eleventh grandchild in the throne room, nobody quite knows there stands a brass bedstead with a sham mahogany wardrobe from the Tottenham Court Road beside it; framed color prints from the Christmas Number of the 'Graphic', of Some Further Remarks on Skin Beauty By Louise A. W. Steers Practically speaking, hairs have no roots. The part which we call the root has noth-, ing to do with hair-growth. Those who woul (remove objectionable hair permanently, according to their statements, and who display the "roots" as evidence of the accomplishment of their object, are necessarily frauds.

The hair receives its nourishment from the hair-papilla, which is not part of the hair, but of the true skin. This is situated at the base of the hair follicle. The papilla fits snugly over the enlarged bulb at the bottom of the hair, which is technically known as the hair-bulb and is falsely considered the "root." It is not to be wondered at that women are often deceived by the appearance of this dark knob into believing that the hair has been permanently removed. Their amazement on 'discovering shortly another and stronger growth is not difficult to understand. The fact is that the flourishing little papillae, which are provided with little blood vessels, have formed new bulbs which will eventually reach the surface of the skin again.

The destruction of the hair papillae can only be accompanied by the electro-chemical process of electrolysis. With these facts in mind, a woman is enabled to proceed more intelligently toward obtaining the relief desired. Multiple electrolysis is so satisfactory, in that it is absolutely safe and quickly and easily performed without discomfort, that I am sure that it is only ignorance of this modern method that makes women endure the discomfort and suffering caused bv superfluous hair, moles, and other skin blemishes. When the absoluteness of the relief is considered, this means is but moderately expensive. I believe that it is the duty of all women, both to their friends and to themselves, to appear as well as the means at their command permit.

Scientific treatment should not be ignored in securing this result. In restoring the natural beauty of the skin, one helps nature paint the picture and bring out the beautiful color which is hers to command, and which no earthly artist, not even one of the old masters, has ever been able to duplicate. Mr. John Regan, tenor, showed artistic feeling in his rendering of Brahms' "May Night," and "I Love You So," by Mana- Zucca, was sung nicely by Miss Marion Page, soprano. Miss Marie Broun, who is the contralto soloist of St.

Thomas Aquinas' R. C. Church, displayed a rich contralto in "Rest and Forget," by Wadding-ton, and Mr. Raymond Norton, bass solo-ist of the Holy Name R. Church, Manhattan, gave a fine interpretation of an aria from "The Fair Maid of Perth." The rich, sympathetic tones of Miss Mildred Anderson's soprano voice were greatly enjoyed in an aria from Massenet's "Le iyU7 alternate along the walls with the most exquisite Rajput and Persian miniatures; in the unswept jewel room, five million pounds' worth of precious stones lie indiscriminately heaped; the paintings are peeling off the walls of the private apartments, a leprosy has attacked the stucco, there is a hole in the carpet; the marble hall of audience is furnished with bamboo chairs and the Rolls-Royces are driven by ragged chauffeurs who blow their noses on the long and windblown end of their Aldous Huxley, in the July Cid." "Swift the Hours," by Turner-' Maley, was well sung by Miss Loretta Curry, contralto.

Mr. August Kirsch-doerffer, who has a fine tenor voice, sang Bartlett's "A Miss Irene Croft, soprano, sang the Jewel Song from "Faust" with brilliant effect; Hubert Walsh, tenor, displayed a sunset lyric quality in "The Garden I Love," by Nutting; "Elysium," by Speaks, was sweetly sung by Miss Irene Phelan, soprano; Joseph Kilduff, tenor, sang effectively an aria from "Aida" Miss Gladys Tabor, contralto, displayed good tones in Bemberg's "Hindoo Song" i Miss Anna Thompson gave a dramatic interpretation of "Dich Theure Halle," from Mr. C. Bennet Christiansen, baritone soloist of St. Thomas Aquinas', sang "I Am Late," by Hamblin; Miss Esther Hultgren, soprano soloist of St.

Thomas Aquinas', sang with admirable control the "Caro from "Rigolet-to," and the final number was a brilliant Atlantic Avenue Growing Backwards Atlantic Avenue, one of the widest thoroughfares in the borough and a direct artery from east to again is coming 'into its own. As the city progressed, Atlantic Avenue seemed to settle down for a long sleep, secure, in the belief that it would keep its position because of its natural advantages. Old shops growing more dilapidated as the years went by continued to grace the avenue. These are passing and a new era of business development has begun. Charles A.

Leroy, senior member of the firm of Leroy Thomas, formerly known as Stober Thomas, is authority for the statement concerning the new business development. This firm, which was organized last January with offices at 572 Atlantic Avenue, has had ample proof that business houses are seeing in Atlantic Avenue an ideal location. In. the old days Atlantic Avenue developed from the harbor eastward. Its new development starts on Bedford Avenue and proceeds westward toward the Borough Hall section, directly opposite from the way it first grew.

Automobile row on Bedford Avenue is seeing in the wide avenue which crosses Bedford an outlet for its rapidly expanding business and is giving an impetus to the real estate transactions that within the last year have given unmistakable evidence of the new interest aroused in the avenue. The new Cadillac building and the new sales quarters for Packard cars are among the recent developments. An electric supply company has taken possession of property near Vanderbilt Avenue. Leroy Thomas, announced last week that the Automotive Device Company, had through their firm the property next door to the new Packard show room and will occupy the building, 1046 and 1048 Atlantic Avenue, as soon as extensive alterations are completed. The same firm also announced that the Thomas Roulston, owing to the fact that the present store of the company at Third Avenue and Atlantic Avenue is to be torn lown to be replaced by the new central building of the Young Women's Christian Association Explained Girl: "She seems to have the utmost 'contempt for him, yet he adores Guy "Yes, she helps him save his money."

She breaks all the dates he makes with her." rendition of the trio from "Faust," sung by Mrs. Anna M. Johnson and the Messrs. Kilduff and Norton. A Community Service Through its long years of intimate association with the Rotary Club, Brooklyn Life has come to regard "Service Above Self" as.

pointing out the ideal toward which our publication itself is striving. And if this is so in the business world, how much more truly must it be in recreational hours when we express ourselves far more truly than when compelled to think first of our food and shelter and clothing. The service rendered to a community by a good bookstore is beyond reckoning in the dollars and cents, which, by economic necessity, remains a part of it. It is therefore with the greatest pleasure that Brooklyn Life congratulates Mrs. Theodora Gray upon the opening of "Miss Adams' Book Shop" in its new quarters at 149 Pierrepont Street.

We are most happy to advise our mutual acquaintances to drop into "A Friendly Shop for Friendly People," where Mrs. Gray will be pleased to greet them and offer any advice or assistance in their reading selections. Especially valuable will this service be to those whose time is so well occupied by their business affairs that they find it diffi- "The Art of Singing Naturally" ISABEL LEONARD, Soprano-Teacher of Singing STEENWAY HALL 113 West 57th Street, N.

For, if you don't have your own place, either at the shore or in the mountains that lures you each year, or if you have grown tired of the same recreation, the one thing left to do is to travel. Travel, that mystic word, about which Sir Francis Bacon 300 years ago wrote: "Travel in the younger sort is a part of education, in the elder a part of experience." How true are those words, even a ter three centuries Bacon's essay on travel is contained in the blue book, just issued by the Universal AMERICAN INSTITUTE OF APPLIED MUSIC Metropolitan College of Music Kate S.
