THE GROWTH OF A MUSICAL GENIUS 
MOZARTS OPERAS 
By EDWARD J. DENT 
“The book bears evidences of the author’s thorough and fruitful re¬ 
search in the field of eighteenth century music. He has drawn a careful 
and well-proportioned picture of Mozart’s relations to contemporary 
opera and to his century.”— The Bookman. 
Written to present Mozart’s operas as still living works to modern 
audiences. Each opera is discussed as to libretto, music and presentation. 
Illustrated with reproductions of portraits and with musical quotations.

This house is stained with Cabot's Creosote Stains ( bungalow- 
brown walls , moss-green roof), and this is what the architect, Clinton 
P. Shockley, Waterloo, la., says about them: 
“/ have specified your shingle stains exclusively on all of my 
work ... In every case they have given the best of satisfac¬ 
tion .” 
\ We can refer you to hundreds of similar cases, showing that 
you are sure of good results when you use 
Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
They are the first shingle stains ever made and the genuine 
Creosote, wood-preserving stains. The coloring effects are 
soft, rich and velvety, and guaranteed to last.^ If you insist 
upon Cabot’s you will be protected against the'crude, tawdry 
colors, the fading and the dangerous inflammability of the 
benzine-mixed imitations. 
You can get Cabot's Stains all over the country. Send 
( or stained wood samples and name of nearest agent.

Years of effort have 
failed to improve upon 
shingles as a covering for 
and side walls. 
Other materials either prove less economi¬ 
cal or lack the desired artistic effect. 
But untreated shingles soon rot, curl up or 
split. To stain them on the job is costly and 
mussy. 
“CREO-D1PT” Stained Shingles will last a 
lifetime. We preserve selected Washington 
Red Cedar Shingles with creosote and stain in 
any color desired. They come dry in bundles, 
ready-to-lay, all one even color. They last 
twice as long as brush-coated or unstained 
shingles;are better preserved and cost less than 
shingles stained on the job — and look better. 
Colors ground twice in pure linseed oil.

and ask for Pad of Colors on Wood. Names of 
Architect and Lumber Dealer appreciated.
