‘NEW YORK,» Oct. 8.-——A girl or
eighteen with calm. speculative eyes
and brown hair massed in old-fash-
ioned coils at theifiuck of her head
arose at 6:30 Tuesday morning. Pol-
ished the floors of her apartment,
pushed the corpet’stveeper around
and baked a. pumpkin piewn good
one—almost before New Yorkers
, had rubbed the sleep out of their
eyes. She hummed an gir as she
worked. -
By 9:30 the telephone at 74 ”West
Sixty-eighth street had begun to
ring nnd'lhe girl—Marion ’l‘nllcy—
,was receiving congratulations.
"For what?" she inquired.
“Why, haven't you seen the morn
ing newspapers?"
Marion was still unconscious that
her name and picture had made the
front page with the announcement
that she would sing in the Metro-
politan Opcru this season. She went
calmly on with her dusting. She is
that ébrt of girl.
The thought that she may one day
be a. prime donnn runs to give litur-
ion a thrill. She looks forward to
her debut in FClil‘Uill‘y with pious-
ure, but ulthout trepidation ,nnd

from it. She is rather proud of this.

Talley has n. hankering in this di-
rection. ‘
Marion received lurce groups of
reporters and photographers ’i‘ues-
day in a block georsutto frock, with
long sleeves. over which she pulled
an apron when assisting her mother
in the apartment. Like every other
. frock she ever owned, it was made
by her sister. Florence. who has
been Marion's accompanist since
she was a prodigy at 3. .
Yes. Marion like most youthtbl
prodlgles., began to show promise
almost in the nursery. Her mother
says a little song bummed in her
car would soothe her when she was
a freti‘ul baby. At three she would
sing by herself. At eleven she
joined a church choir and the direc-
tor. a Welshman, became interested
in her'voice. . .
She did not play. like other chil-
dren. She liked to read and to prac-
tice her music. both violin and
piano. At other times she sewed or
cooked and dusted. She still runs
errands for her mother and admits
that for exercise she walks. Games
do not appeal to her.
Marlon was eleven when she
made her first public appearance at
a church event in Kansas City. It is
a matter of record that as the years
went on her voice made an impres-
sion locally, until finally a. benefit
performance was given so that she
could be sent abroad to study. She
returned from ltaly a few weeks ago
after a year's study. Prior to that
she studied for two years in New
York.

Mrs. Jack Dempsey

LOS ANGELES. Oct. 8,—Estelle
Taylor. actress wife of Jack Demp-
sey. heavyweight pugilist. denied
yesterday that there was any foun-
dation for the reports in New York
that there had been a separation or
contemplated break in the Dempsey
fnlnily.
"Such 9. thing is positively ab-
surd." Miss Taylor said. "Of course
we have not querrclcd and we are
not going to separate. Every day
I have received two or three mos-
sagcs from him and every night a
long distance telephone call."

Merrill Schools 1
Plan Spelling Bee
Students of the Merrill Buslnosu
Schools in South Norwalk,Stan1-
ford and Port Chester will turn
back the clock to a feature of the
educational methods of the district
school of ilfty years ago in a con~
certcd effort to bring their knowl-
edge of spelling to as near perfec-
tion as may be. At the first fall
teachers‘ meeting of the combined
Merrill faculties. held in Stamford
on Saturday afternoon. considerable
time was devoted to an analysis of
the common lack of spelling ability
on the part of the average student
today. The result of the discussion
was the decision to carry out a drive
for perfect spellers in the three
schools and to reward those who
make'the host records.
b. An old fashioned spelling bee. to
be held at the Stamford school Just
before the Christmas holidays. will
bring together the best spellers from
the three schools. The contestants
will be chosen on the basis of their
daily records during the next two
months and only those who have,
proven their spelling ability in rogu-
lar school work will be admitted to
the contest.
The spelling bee will be the fore-
runner of a school dance and from
present interest in the contest. the

able portion of the student body. due

Your husband knows about extension telephones.
The chances are that he has one in his place of
business. It not. then he has seenone in use in some
other ofice'or store. Every business man wants to
at down the loss of time and waéte of en'ergy—which
is why the percentage of extension telephones in
business organizations is so high.
What obOut lost time and wasted energy in the
home? ‘ '
Tell your husband how many times a day you
hurry up or down stairs, or from one end of the
apartment‘to the other, to answer the telephone.
Ask him what he thinks about an extension telephone
for you. it may not have occurred to him before.
but he will probably suggest that you order one
without delay. . .
‘The cost of an extension telephone (after a
. moderate connection} charge) is less than 2 cents a
day. What other convenience. comparable with this,
can youbuy so cheaply?
Telephone our local Business Office. today, and
