Lillian Nordica Tells of Her Tirst Attack of "Simplelifitis" Also Waxes Enthusiastic Over Her Opera-Honse and School for American Girls on the Hudson. BY NANCY I.EB. NORDICA Is here. I was apprised of the fact by Wynn Coman, whom I met yesterday afternoon alighting: from a taximeter. "I have Just left Mme. Nordica," said she. "Would you like to take a drive with me and call on her?" I confess it took no particular amount of bribing-, . and with a decided degree of alacrity the invitation was accepted and we were whirled to the apartments at the Hotel Portland of the glorious American diva to meet the famous Lil lian, whose superb voice, full of bril liancy and limpid tones, has swayed the intelligent audiences of the world a voice which Interprets the entire gamut of human emotions and depicts with such Ineffable charm tenderness, gaiety, pathos, consuming anger, poign ant grief and despair. Upon arriving at the hotel we were announced by madame's superior-looking .chocolate-colored servant into a drawing-room converted Into a bower of flowers and redolent with perfume. At this juncture, Mme. Nordica Joined us. extending a cordial hand, and re called our previous meeting. Broad of shoulder, and with regal bearing, she at once commands respect. However, the dominant feature, her kindly face, certainly suggests womanliness and lark of ostentation. The conversation drifted to her hur ried trip to Portland, whither she had coma on short notice to appear Thurs day evening as soloist for the New York Symphony Orchestra in some of the Wagnerian roles in which she has appeared, namely: Klsa In "Lohengrin" and the three Hrunhlldes. Mme. Nor dica has been recuperating for a few weeks past in the interior of Idaho and Is most enthusiastic over the rural at mosphere and her first attack of "sim plelifitis." "For the first time In my life I held a shotgun," said she, "and my enthusiasm was unbounded. I donned the short lengthed costume and experienced great sport in hunting. The Intricacies of a threshing machine were duly explained to me and upon being hoisted to the top of the stack, I discovered, to the sur prise of the crew, that a Plymouth Rock hen had In some unaccountable manner flown there and was hatching a brood of cunning chickens, a surely novel spectacle for a city-bred woman who was unaccustomed to the delights of a life In agricultural neighborhoods." ' Later I suggested that Mme. Nordica tell more of her stupendous plans for building an opera-house and school for Americans on. the Hudson. She imme diately waxed enthusiastic over her plans, which; in all probability, will be con summated within the coming year. With remarkable generosity she has con tributed 40 acres of ground at Harmon, on the Hudson on which to build an opera house, an exact replica of the famous Wagnerian theater at Beyreuth, whtch is under the personal direction of Frau Wagner. At Harmon the famous Wag nerian roles will also be given. Adjoin ing the Opera-House. 'she la to endow a school for Americans, but primarily for girls, where ambitious women are to obtain the tutelage of the most famous musicians here and abroad. In this Mme. Nordica has already elicited the hearty co-operation of David Bispham, Km ma Karnes, Walter Damrosch and other lights. The girls are to be given every advantage. They will be given the opportunity of hearing the greatest singers brought from foreign lands, and of being examined before an experienced board. . ' "This," said the prima donna, "will en able Americans to receive all the ad vantages of toreipn Instruction In their own country. It will then eliminate the many tragedies that have befallen those who have been persuaded by admiring friends to seek laurels abroad, only to find intimately that they were wholly unqualified to compete with foreign artists. The opera school will continue during the Summer months with frequent performances. In addition the foyer of the theater is to be hung with works of various American artists and will event ually become a permanent art exhibi tion." Too much cannot be said of this great undertaking for the benefit of the Amer ican people. With a woman of Mme. Nordlca's electrical personality back of it, her tremendous enthusiasm and her host of admiring friends, it will eventu ally be a success which will be memor able. Portlanders are most fortunate In hear ing Nordica In ESsa. In this same role she sang before Queen Victoria at Windsor Castle on her sixtieth anniver sary and received a veritable ovation. After leaving the Queen's presence the diva missed a small brooch and asked one of the maids of honor to send It to her hotel, if found. The following day the missing brooch was returned and another worth many times her own, with the compliments of the Queen, was sent her. The great soloist will delight music- lovers as she has done in the past on the occasion of the Damrosch concerts. JILTED, SHE ASKS $15,000 Winsome Widow Begins Suit Against Senator Keed.

"I T'S a nice, 'open' 'Winter we are having, Isn't it?" asked a down town business man of another yester day morning, as he stuck his head in the latter's office for a moment. When the latter reached for a handy book to fling at the visitor's head, the latter dodged. Surprised at his recep tion, he came in and asked if the ag grieved business man had been betting wrong on the election or what it was J that caused him to be angry. "This weather business is getting on my nerves," was the reply. "This Is fierce. I am burning as much wood at home as I do in the Winter. Every time I try to wear my straw hat I get rained on. Every time I want to go out for a picnic and take the kids, the sun forgets to come out, but the clouds are on the Job. as usual. Every morn ing when I look at the paper I seethe same old forecast: 'Cloudy, with show ers.' It's enough to make a man fight with his grandmother. It Is no longer a joke with me; it's a personal griev ance." "But what good does it do to get sore about it?" asked his friend. . "That's just it. It don't do any good, and that Is where the trouble Is. That Is what makes me so mad. Every time, anybody gets to talking weather, I lose my temper. Some even try to spring that old gag about It being very unusual. But that makes me madder than anything. Everywhere you go you find the usual unusual weather. "Here is the Rose Festival and show ers. Let the poet rave about 'What so rare as a day In June?' I can tell him. The answer is a little ray of sunshine. I'm getting darned good and tired of thia," and his features assumed an ex pression as dark and vindictive as the 'louds. as he looked out the window at the pattering raindrops.
