It was not that the white American worker was threatened with starvation, but it was what was, after all, a more important question, whether or not he should lose his front-room and victrola and even the dream of a Ford car. There came a whirling and scrambling among the workers, they fought each other; they climbed on each others' backs.
Then how would you like to have a little picnic, just we two? I want to get away from Victrola music and children's questions and four walls, and I thought you might have a similar longing." "Mental telepathy, Martin! That's just what I was thinking as I was out in the garden."
Instead of that, with all these symptoms in mind, let us sum up the logical effect upon the average individual of our progressive methods and training. Does he not say to himself, and should he not be expected to say to himself: "This is a wonderful age we live in, with the automobile, telephone, moving picture, victrola, and all the other inventions. Modern science is the greatest thing ever.
Then George smuggled in the Victrola, and behind carefully closed doors Arethusa gave a Concert which endeared her to a music-loving Helen Louise forever, as the brightest memory of her life. Clay took them home in the automobile, with a little ride through the Park beforehand, so that the Cherrys' cup of bliss was almost too full.

The American boys promptly dubbed the place "Souptown." The Division moved to Vaucouleurs for rest and replacements. At Vaucouleurs there was a great big hut with a piano, a victrola, and a cookstove. They started the canteen, made doughnuts and pies, and gave entertainments.
My rubber plant for your victrola, each offering what he has and seeking his deficiency. It was my friend B who fairly put the case when he said that he liked so much to talk that he was willing to pay for his audience by listening in his turn. But this was a speech and a lecture.
And then what? After a couple of days, some one mentioned the recreation room. Indeed, what's in a name? Chairs were there, two or three settees, a piano, a victrola, a Christy picture, a map of South America, the dying soldier's prayer, and three different sad and colored pictures of Christ.
The floors were covered with rugs of the deepest hue and richest luster; the furniture of the front room into which she was first ushered was of an inlaid foreign pattern, of which she could not guess the name or period. There was a player-piano to match the furniture, and a cabinet of rolls. Near by stood a specially made Victrola with an extensive selection of records.
