Tours through the provinces, daily interviews with celebrities, statesmen, leaders of the scores of political factions; adventures under the surface of the victrola phrases pouring from the government buildings and the anti-government buildings, had occupied even his introspections. Seemingly the empire had turned itself into a debating society. Life had become a class in economics.
Then a very tender, sympathetic look passed between mother and daughter. "I hardly think, Blue Bonnet, that your check would pay for the Victrola," Miss Clyde said. "We should not want to get anything but the best something that would last; and records are very expensive." Blue Bonnet looked woefully disappointed. Then she smiled delightedly.
His gospel of orderly energy is the inspiration of thousands of business offices; his sententious maxims are parts of current speech: the victrola has carried his singing lyrics even farther than the banjo penetrates, of which latter democratic instrument his wonderful poem is the apotheosis. And we have the word of a distinguished British major-general to prove that Mr.
"To Heaven's door, and through, my lad, O I will walk with you." After the ceremony the strains of a Wedding March fell upon the ears of the people gathered in the orchard. Amanda's lips parted in pleasure. "That's Phil's work!" she cried and ran behind the clump of bushes from where the music seemed to come. Philip was stooping to grind the motor of Landis's Victrola. "Phil, you dear!"
Gloria was off to bed early, saying "good-night everybody" rather absently. She climbed up the stairs wearily. When her mother slipped away from the others, having started the victrola and urged them to dancing, she found Gloria ready for bed but standing before her window, looking out at the first stars.

Prior seemed quite starved for music." Miss Clyde never acted upon impulse. She thought for a few moments, then turning, went up-stairs slowly. When she came down she handed Blue Bonnet a check. "I think this will buy the Victrola and some records, too," she said. "I would suggest that Doctor Clark get old-fashioned music they would like that best." Mrs.

In the apartment below some one was playing a victrola. I hoped Ruth was not as conscious as I of Van de Vere's at this time in the morning low bells, subdued voices, velvet-footed attendants, system, order.
I didn't list the piano in our assets, but I really think it's one of the best we have on the farm, because it helps to bring us together and keep us happy." "May I play the victrola a while, Aunt Bettie?" asked Ruth. "If you want to," said her aunt. "How much did you say the poultry brought us last year?" asked Edith suddenly, as Ruth began playing.
Then Mary followed suit. If this was really going to be a party she hadn't quite got this idea before she'd have to spend the afternoon unpacking and putting her frocks in order or she wouldn't have anything to wear. "Well," Paula said comfortably, "until they turn me on like a Victrola at nine o'clock or so, I've nothing to do with the party except not think about it."
She had hoped to buy those cases some day, one at a time, and getting them at one fell swoop seemed to her more arrogantly opulent than the purchase of the house and grounds than even the big shiny victrola.
