Duttini:, «bu hU3 bueu a member of the eduratlon (Ippartmpnt of a College for almost tweiity-flve years. Most of tbto girls who be'.lcve thoy can never slug, go out at the end of tlio year of musle education li'Ot only ahlo to Ring but ubk- to tt-acli a soiii?. I»rofes8or Dutting explained that real monotones, that Is persons who are born without a tonal sense and cannot te'il one tone from another or mateb tones, are very rare. "A monotoDO 18 a defective Ju.st as much Us a person who Is d<>uf or dumb. When I tell Ihut to my Btud-nt.f tliey lire less anxi<ius to tluini tliiit dis- tinction." "If a Btudcnl says flie cJtnnot .sing. I ask her try some popular song with me. Nine out of ten of them can do It: because they have beon hear- InK these songs practically a'l t'le''" llve.s. The trouble with the.fe girls Is that thpy caunot match tones. That Is, they cannot reproduce exact- ly a tone, or group of tones glveu on a plth-plpp or sungr for them." Professor Dutting advises aduH." who want to perfect their slngine to provide themselves with a pitch-pipe. They shnitld match one touo at a tlnif-, then groups of tones. After a lime It will he po.sslble to sing slm- |)le m;i.sl('al phrases. Profe.'sor Diit. ling cited the case of a girl who entered her class last term and wa.s unable to reproduce a single tone coireclly. Working with a pit('h- pipe pvery day and having her frlend.< and family listen to her, she was able to sing a Hong perfectly at the end of the term. "That girl was .in rxaniplc of the ri'sults to be gainod by persi.'jteiil individual work." said Professoi Dut- ting. "I would prefer having that girl teaoh music to a child of mine to having that c:hlld study under :i careless musician." Until recent years llille stress was plaopd on musii' education and many teachers and cvi n inu^ic supervisors could not sing well. Professor Dut- ting encouragps her students to ac- (|iiir<' a rich musical backgrotind by reading thp mii.sic columns in the daily newspapeis. attending operas and conceits, aiul listening to good musical programs on the radio. She believes a music instructor should he "a little of a poet and a lltllo of a musician besides l)eing a pedagogue." "We try here to do with our stu- dents what they will do w-lth chil- dren in their owu classes. They are taught how to Introduce and teach a song to a class. As rote songs are the basis of niusi(; education and are learned by Imitation, the first essential Is for the teacher huTself to sing well. She should not attempt to cover loo mucli ground but he .suro of her selections and insist on their iif'lng sung in an artistic and <arefui manner. f;hlldren sing naiurallv .iiid In a thin flntelike tone." .Many of Professor Dutting'.s stu- ileiits say they were not allowed to Ing ttt all In elementary schools "Nothing siiould disturb the beauty • if tlie class tone quality," said Pro- I'ssor Dulling, "and a 'pitch prob- 'i m' sliould not Indeed sing wllli the I '.I of the class. He should be pliicpd In a position of honor, how- ever, and asked to help the teacher isten to the othcr.q. This should be followed tip with individual holp. The dellmiuent Idea should not be iii-'gested. (.Children fee] this and it IS not fair to them. A child does not :.itlnnnll/.e and may retnain s listen- â-  r all his life."

"Vou i)oint«<l out to Brian Pear- son the gravity of such a course of action?" aske»l the Chief ConsUble. •'.Said he didn't give a damn. He had nothing to do with the murder and it was up tx> us lo prove he had. The way he had employed his timf was his own business and none of ours, and he declined definitely to state where he had been and what he ha<l been doing." •'.Most extraordinary," saitl the Chief Constable. "Yes, sir. It's an extraordinaiy ca.se. You see, there's no u.se j^ettin;.? away fnini the facts; this man's far more the tyi)e than the other. There's something incoiiRruous about James I'earson hitlinjf an old man on the head with a sandbagâ€" but in a man- ner of speaking it might be all in the (iay'.s work to Brian Pearson. He's a hot-tempered, high-handed young man -and he profits to exactly the same extent remember. "Yes- -he came over with Mr. Kn- deiby this morninK, very bright and breezy, quite sijuare and above-board, that "wa,s his attitude. But it won't wash, sir, it won't wa.sh." ••H'm â€" .you mean â€" " ••It i.sn't borne out by the fact.-. Why didn't he come forward before'.' His uncle's death was in all the pa- pers Saturday. His brother was ar- lesU'd Monday. An<i he doesn't give a sign of life. -And he wouldn't have, either, if that journali.sl hadn't run across him in the garden of Sittaford Hou.se at midnight la.sl night." '•What was he doing there? Knder- liy, 1 mean?" '•You know what journuiists are." .^aid Narracolt, "always nosing round. They're uncanny." '•'hiey are a darned nuisance very often," .said the Chief Constable. "Though they have their uses too." "I fancy it wa.s the young Imly put him up to it," .said Nan-acolt. "The young lady?" ••Miss Emily Trefusis." "How did she know anything about it?" ••.She was up at SiUuford nosing around. And she's what you'd call a sharp young lady. There's not much gets past her." "What was Briar. I'ear.son's own account of his movements?" '•Said he came to Siltaford House to see his young la<ly, Miss Willett., that is. She came out of the house to meet him when everyone was asleep hecau.se she diiln'l want her mother to know about it. That's their story. Inspector Narrncolt's voice express- ed distinct disbelief. "It'.i my belief, sir, that if Kndcrby hadn't run him to earth, he never would have come forward. He'd have gone back to .Australia and claimed hi.'; inheritance from there." A faint smile cro.-:se»l the Chief Constable's lips. •How he must have cur.se<l these pe.-^tilential prying journalists," he murmured. "There's .something else come to light," continued the Inspector. "There are three Pearsons, you remember, and Sylvia I'ear.son is inanied to Martin Deriiig, the novelist. He told UK that he lunched and spent the af- ternoon with an American publisher and went to a literary dinner in th'.- evening, but it n-ow seems that he wasn't al the dinner at all." "Who says so?" "Knderby again." "I think I must meet Knderby," said the Chief Constable. "He ap- pears to W one of the live wires of Ihi investigation. N'<> doubt alwut it the Daily Wire does have .some bright young men on their staff,' '•Well, of course, that may mean little or nothing." continued the In- spector. "Captain Trcvel.van was killed l>cforc six oVIcK'k, so where Dering s|>enl his evening is really of no consequeiufv-but why should he have deliberately lied about it? 1 don't like it, sir." "No," ttgrciil the Ciiief ( oiistable. "It seems a little iiniieces.sary." "It makes one think that the whide thing II. ay be laisc. It's n far-fetch- til supiHisition, I suppose, hut Dering might have left I'a«lding1on by the twelve ten train • arrived at Kxhamp- ton .Hoino time after five, have killed the old man, gut the six ten train and be<'n back home again l>efore midnight. At •ny rate it's got to be looked into, Kir. We've got to inve.stigale his ft i.anrial position, .-ee if he was desper- ately hard up. Any money his wife came into he would have the handling of â€" you've only got to look at her to know that. We've trot to make jier- fettly sure that thj afternoon alibi holds water." "The whole thing i.s extraordinary," commented the Chief Constable. "But I think the evidence against Pearson is pretty conclusive. I see that you don't agre« with me â€" you've a feeling you've got hold of the wrong man." "The evidence against James I'ear .son is all right," Inspector Narracott, admitted Ut the Chief Coristable, •'cir- cumstantial and all that, and any jury ought to convict on it. . Still, what you say is true enough â€" I don't see him as a murderer," "And his young lady is very active in the case," said the Chief Constable. "Miss Trefusis. yes, she's a one and no mistake. A real fine young lady. And alxsolutely determined to get him otf. She's got hold of that journalist, EiKlerby, and she's working him for all she's worth. She's a great deal too good for Mr. James Pear.son. Beyond his good look.s I wouldn't say there was much to him in the way of character." "But if she's a managing young woman that's what she likes," .said the Chief Constable. "Ah well," said Inspector Narra- cott, "there's no accounting for tastes. Well, you agree sir, that I had better take up this alibi of Dering's without any more delay." "Yes, the sister. That's perfectly all right. I have made inquiries there. She was at home at six o'clock all right, sir. I'll get right on witli the Dering business." It was about five hours later that Inspector Narracott found Mr. Dering at home. He couldn't he disturbed as he was writing, the maid had said at first, but the In.spector had pro- duced an oflTicial card and bade her take it to her master without delay. While waiting he strode up and down the room. His mind was working ac- tively. He picked up a rather bat- tered old book. "Pride and Prejudice." He opened the cover and saw scrawled on the fly-leaf in rather faded ink tho name. Martha Rycroft. Somehow, the nrrae of Uycroft seemed familiar, b :t he could not for the moment remember why. He was interrupted as the door opened and Martin Dering came into the lOom. The novelist wa.-- a man of middle height with thick rather he.tvy chest- nut hair. He was good-looking in a somewhat heavy fashion, with lips that were rather full and red. In.spector Narracott was not pre- IHissessed by his appearance. "Good morning, Mr. Dering. Sorry to trouble you all here again." "Oh, it doe.sn't matter, inspector, but really I can't tell you any more than you've been told already." "We were led to understand that your brother-in-law, Mr. Brian Pear- .son, was in Australia. Now we find that he has l)een in England for the li'st two months. Your wife distinct- Iv told, me that he was in New South Wales." "Brian in England!" Dering seem- e.. genuinely a.--tonished. "I can a.s- sure you, inspector, that I had no knowledge of the fact-- nor, I'm sure, had my wife. Sylvia has twice writ- ten him letters to .-Vuslralia during that time." "Oh, well in that case 1 apologize sir. But naturally I thought he would have Communicated with his relations and T was a bit s«ire with you for holding out on me." "Well, as T tell you- we knew ni>ih- ing. Have a cigaret, insjiector. By the way, I see you've recaptured your esc:ipe<l convict." "Yes. got him late Tue.s^lay nigiit. Rather had luck for him â€" the mist coming down. He walked right round in a circle. Did about twenty miles fo find himself about half a mile from Princetc.wn al the end of it." "Extraordinary how everyone goes round in circles in a fog. Ciootl thing he didn't escajie on the Friday. I suppo.'ie he would have had this mur- der put down to him as a certainty," '•He's a dangerous man. Frt'cmantlo Freddy, they use<l to call him.

Old Guard List Most Glamorous Movie Artistes Hollywood.â€" At a luncheon the other day were some of the Old Guard, men who had been in the movie game for 18, 20 and more years. The talk got on to Garbo and what makes the woman so glamorous, then on to gla- morous women generally. Clarence Sinclair Bull, portrait photographer, the only man whom Garbo has allowed to photograph her during the last five years, was among those present. Mr. Bull was asked to name the most glamorous women of his entire screen career. He named, and this is a game you may play at your own luncheon or dinner table, Theda Kara, Barbara La Marr, Nita Naldi in the Blood and Sand days, Mae Murray, and, of course, Garbo. Choice of Theda Bara was question- ed; Mae Murray's name, too, but other men present volunteered them a dis- tinguished place in their respective heydays. They were colorful, and, ac- cording to their day, glamorous. Certain other names, outstanding ones of the moment and undisputed big box office, were given other credits, but not glamor. Two of my ovn\ par- ticular favorites, maybe yours, too. were dismissed as suggesting too much ability to create glamor. Others were condemned as too coldly classical, too self-sufficient, too just beautiful, and nothing else. Anyway, they missed fire somehow on the powerful allure before which strong men bow and weaken. Others, it was contended, affected men in too nice a way to pro- voke glamor acclaim â€" a sister hold, a favorite blood relation appeal. Then it was contended that certain only women., have only screen glamor. On the stage or in private life they ir.ight be washouts. The suggestion followed that perhaps this was res- ponsible in no small measure for the frequent change in marriage partners out here. The .screen per.sonality is fallen in love with. Later, talking to Alice Brady about glamorous women of the stage, she named Katherine Cornell, Lynn Fon- tanne, and Ina Claire. Miss Cornell for the dark, brooding, mysterious quality that makes you think of cath- edrals and things like that; Miss Fon- tanne for a brittle careless quality, a mental api>eal rather than a physical one; and Miss Claire for the "band box" perfection of clothes and groom- ing.
