Mr. nnd Mrs. C. D. Vaughan, llvo In tho vlllago ot Ilowman. When Eula was only 214 years old she was known to play on tho organ, whllo hold In tho lap ot a nurso. Owing to tho fact that thero Is no piano In her homo, as tho solo Instrument her parents possess Is an organ, her playing play-ing has been confined almost cntlroly to that. Still tho youngster can play on tho piano very well Indeed, for It seems to bo as natural to her to play on either organ or piano as It is to breatho. At tho last commencement ot John Gibson Institute she played an accompaniment on tho piano for the orchestra without oven practicing tho numbers. Her father says Bho can repeat re-peat any composition she has ever heard played. From her earliest years she seemed to havo an Idea of harmony. Ono day her uncle. Prof. J. R. Vaughan, happened hap-pened to hear her play. Ho wrote tho music down as he heard It, and so clever was tho composition that It hns found a ready sale nt tho music stores. Eula's touth Is remarkably sympathetic. sympa-thetic. She Is very pretty and small for her ago. Her musical talent Is not confined to cither tho plnno or organ, for the has a pleasing childish voice, which gives much pro'nlsa for tho future fu-ture Often when Eula Is playing over some music she hns heard Bho adds variations of her own. As Eula plays her face brightens and It seems to those who hear her strange Indeed that so much feeling and expression ex-pression bhould bo seen in tho llttlo faco of so young a child. |
