SONGS THAT CHANGE
THE COURSE OF LIFE
' By VIMFRLD BLACK
"Bongs are like sausages," says Mr. Irving Befiin.
"Hard cash. That's the song racket. Feed the slush—a song about
being lonesome or somebody went away—that will fetch ’em every time."
Well, well, so that’s what you mean when you get us all humming.
"All Alone at the Telephone,” and ‘What Will I
Do?” end all the rest of your outrageous, irresistible
tunes, you rascal.
I wondf ? if that’s how the fellow felt who wrote
"Home Sweet Home”—they say he never had a
home by the way—maybe that Is v hy he was so sad
about it.
“All the world is sad and dreary everywhere I
roam.”
Was that all "the bunk." Stephen Foster? or did
you really shed a tear or two yoirself when you
wrote it?
I know a woman who changed the whole course
of her life just by hearing that song at the right
minute, or the wrong minute, whichever you choose
to think it.
The woman was in London on a vacation and a
WINIFRED BLACK ne**l*P<r publisher offered her a glittering
contract for five years.
. .... . Che was to write whatever she liked whenever
ah°!7Ver.She 5Uced’ for * great London daily paper which was
8oin$? to Americanize sor* of its departments
Ana it was June and the crocuses
were all abloom in the grass. aH
Hyde Park and Eton boys, in their
wide collars and top hats, were hav
ing tea on the terrace at the House
of Parliament. English strawber
ries were in season and garden par
ties and fresh frocks, just from
Paris, and good-looking young men
with single eyeglasses and spats,
were on every corner, and life wa*
gay and sunny and full of high
sweet flavor.
‘I'll stay,” said the woman. “Ill
stay and have the fun of it and
the change of it—for five years—
I'll make them all sit op, I prom
ise you.”
And she put on her new Pari*!
frock of silver gray and her hat of j
gray with violets and her gray shoes,
her gray silk stockings and she pin- i
nod a knot of primroses in her,
dress and went dewm to Covent
Garden to a smart concert.
A lot of people she knew were
there—the great cellist with his
Spanish accent and his flaming
Spanish eyes; the soprano, with her
red hair that wras afterwards to
conquer the world: the queen of
the American colony in an abso
lutely stunning dress; the Ameri
can dancer with her saucy face
and her eyes that said the most
outrageous things; the Russian
grand duke and his duchess, in the
smartest of Mayfair clothes.
Two English Ducliescs in clc ’.io.;
that were anything but smart—the
“
X “
darlings—a literary person from
Wales, In a queer old hat and long
flowing locks. Oh yes. life was very
interesting in London just then.
The American woman was gl3:i
that she had decided to stay.
And then the great singer took
an en'XJrr and. in a trail of misty
black with her yellow hair parted
in the middle, she sang, what do
you think?
“All the world is sad and dreary.
“Far from the old folks at home.”
And the American woman went
out of the concert and bought a
ticket back home, and wrote to
the English publisher and sent him
back his contract—and that wa*
that, all oecase of the “slush" in an
old song.
