One marvels at the setting, staging and rendition of a wonder
ful opera; the timbre and tonal color of the voices of the great sing
ers. And it goes along so smoothly that we all forget that somebody
"took care" that the real work of those singers in developing their
voices and in caring for them forms tasks and imposes restraints
from which most of us would shrink; that the stage art is exacting,
from prompter to prima donna Work, work, work; study;
acquirements and display of knowledge.
But the same idea runs in every warp of life no tapestry of
achievement without a warp of work. Barrister, clergyman, orator
work and keeping fit.
The few do and dominate.
Jewelry is sold everywhere from pushcart and tray vender to
palaces of business.
Why do just a few names occur to you when the need arises for
Watch : Necklace : Ring : Pendant
anything wherein you wish to be sure of your ground?
Belief in the carefulness, skill, energy, determination, achieved
standing, reasonable and sufficient resources and honesty of the
concern.
Honesty of method is all-important, yet last named of the
attributes because a concern may be honest but so ill-equipped that
the service rendered would not be appealing.
