TO MAKE HER HIS WIFE. He knew his enthraller’s name, for it was engraved on the record, and so without delay he called on the Edison Company and asked for the lady's address. This,“ of course, was refused, but he obtained a promise to the effect. that if he liked to write a letter and address it care of the company it should be forwarded to the proper quarter. This he did, and a few days later was astonished to receive a reply from Long Island City, where he had many friends. He had written a diplomatic letter asking Miss Laurâ€" ens if she wore open to an engage- ment (a musical one, of course), as be was getting up a baseball con- cert and would be glad if she- would consent to appear on the proâ€" gramme. As the terms were satisfac- tory she agreed, and a fortnight latâ€" er sang (by request) “When I Think of You" at Mr. Deluney's highly successful concert. It did not tuke the promoter of the musical enter- tainment long to discover that beâ€" sides possessing a remarkably sweet voice Miss Laurens was also beauti- ful, amiable, and free. In less than a month the acquaintâ€" anCe so curiously begun had ripened into friendship, and from thence by easy stages it passed into Inutunl admiration, allection, and love. Mr. Delaney, who is :1 member of the New Jersey Poverty Club (an insti- tution which donut-es to each mem- ber getting married a gift, of $50 as a. kind of consolation prize), says he is seriously thinking of turning this phonographic romance into a. short play, as he has little doubt that it would meet with came a very popular one. Mr. Delaney, who, by good for- tune. is a lover of the phonograph, purchased some fresh records about a year ago. and among them was "When I Think of You." As he listened to the sentimental song as interpreted by Miss Laurene’s mobile and sympathetic voice, the freedom of a bachelor’s life seemed to lose some of its glamor. He began to think about the singer, whether she was young and pretty and unmarriâ€" ed, until at last he made up his mind to fmd her, and, if everything turned out well, Lution which donut; her getting married (‘ONSIDEQABLE SUCCESS.

The young lady who possesses so seduc- tiVe a voice, and whose professional name is Miss Emma. Laurens, was a music teacher, and in order to in- crease her income she accepted an engagement to sing into the maâ€" chines of the Edison Phonograph Company.

Norah looked disturbed for a mo- ment, but quickly reocvcred, She ran her finger along the seat of one of the chairs. and then regarded it closely. Mr. leorge. Daly, a traveller in phonographs, tells rather a curious story in connection with these 111a~ chines. It, appears that last year a lpl'lonograph belonging to a customer being out of repair, Mr. Daly called to put matters right. With him he took several rCCOrds and after he had put everything in order he in- serted a cylinder and started the machine. The song. a beautiful balâ€" lad entitled "Why are Roses Sweet?" by C. R. Hawley, was sung by a Miss Georgie Starr. While the music was in progress a lady entered the room and sat down to listen, with a rather amused ex- pression on her face. At the conâ€" clusion Mr. Daly politely inquired if she had enjoyed the song, to which the young lady replied that she had, though it was a somewhat curious coincidence that she should be listenâ€" ing to her own voice. Mr. Daly was considerably astonâ€" ished, and perhaps his expression of countenance suggested some slight incredulity, for the lady quietly pick- ed out the very song from music lyâ€" in;;,'r on the piano and hearing her own professional name of Georgie Starr. If he had not already been married, a man of fifty, and the fa- ther of a large family, Mr. Daly afâ€" terwards declared he might have adâ€" ded to the number of phonographic romances by marrying the fair song- stress; but,” under the circumstances. the story can now only take its place among curious coincidences “How dusty these Chairs are. Nor- a'h.” said the mistress. He met, Miss Robbins, hoWM'vr. at, .the house of a mutual friend. and it was not until some weeks after the introduction that Mr. Hill connected the voice in the phonograph with the {lady to whom ho had been introâ€" duced. The marriage has boon a very happy one, and Mr. Hill states that if it was brought about in any way by the phonograph then the in- strument should would like to have an interview. Miss Robbins (who in private is Mrs. Charles Hill). in a. letter to a. New York paper, declares that pos- sibly the young men might be sur- prised, and even shocked, to discover that she is short, stout, and the mother of two fine boys. It is true that Mr. Hill, who is in the musical business. knew Miss Robbins‘s voice long before he became acquainted with the fair owner, though he doâ€" clares the sound of it created in him no sentimental feelings or any par- ticular desire to become more closely vauainted with the singer. thereby makes a good income by singing into phonographs, declares that she is constantly receiving let,â€" ters from all sorts and conditions of :men who declare that they have fallen in love with her voice and Would like to have an interview.
