AT PORTLAND COOKING SCHOOL
Sale of Fancy Home-Made Conserves
Will Be Held This Week.
The Portland School of Domestic Sci
ence Is an Institution of Innovation?, but
these innovations are made from the prac
tical standpoint of a direct benefit in
household economics. People live poorly
from ignorance. Their manners improve
and their physical condition and home
comforts Increase as they are taught to
live better.
There is an undeveloped field in Oregon
for the effort to preserve Oregon's match
less fruit products after the most ap
proved methods. "The Portland Cooking
School this Week will show to the people
of Portland the wonderful results one of
their most prominent members has al
ready attained in this line. Do people
generally know that Oregon-grown fruits
carried off all the highest awards at the
Pan-American Exposition at Buffalo? Do
Portland's people know that' Oregon's
Royal Ann cherries are the standard of
excellence of the world? On Friday and
Saturday next, from. 10 to 6 each day,
there will be offered for sale at the rooms
of the Portland School of Domestic Sci
ence, 131 Tenth street, near Alder street,
home-made conserves put up under the
direction of Mrs. Jesse M. Ritchie. These
will consist of wild-blackberry and other
jellies, sun-preserved strawberries, cherry,
wild-blackberry, apricot, peach plum,
pear, apple, quince, crabapple, logan-berry
preserves, and a jelly of the berries of
the mountain ash, to be used with veni
son and other game. Orders will be taken
for orange marmalade and next season's
preserves.
A real novelty and the quintessence of a
staple food product that under a complete
metamorphosis is changed into a delicacy
of the highest culinary art, will be apples
preserved In ginger. This conserve may
be used in preparing dainty Thanksgiving
desserts. Every woman in Portland who
takes any interest in cooking will visit
the Portland School of Domestic, Science

Morgan, the present owner Is said to have
paid 5250.000 for 1U There are pieces of
tapestry in the possession of rich New
Yorkers for whloh they have paid 5100 a

said to be worth 5150.000 and there are
hundreds of pieces of canvas scattered
over Europe and- America worth quite as
much. "When a Stradlvarlus violin Is sqld

TOMORROW eve nine, at the Mar
quam Grand Theater. Pietro Marino
and his celebrated orchestra win bo
heard in but aslngle recital. Critics con
cede that Portland musically is far ahead
of other "Western cities in Its growth and
development, and that Portland music
lovers realize the Importance of the mu
sical event Is but testifying to the fact
of their knowledge and fprethought. It
is not often that a "Western city has an
opportunity such as the present one is to
listen to a virtuoso whose fame as
"Ysaye's favorite and most talented pu
pil." is worldwide. His ability is not in
his" knowledge solely or in his manner
or cultivation. These are great qualities
to possess and are possessed by Marino,
but his greatness lies In natural and
inherited genius. That one word is the
keynote of his success and popularity and
Is the foundation of the applause which
Iftis been accorded him on all sides.
With Marino in the capacity of soloist
is Miss Pauline Sherwood, of St Paul, a
most talentel and beautifully graceful
young woman, possessing a highly cul
tivated lyric soprano voice of wide range
and delicate feeling. As a protege of
Miss Hill, daughter of James J. Hill, the
railroad magnate, she has been able to
procure the most advantageous teachers
under whose tutelage In SLPaul and New
York she progressed rapidly, graduating
with high honors and the universal com
mendation of her teachers. At the rec
ommendation of numerous friends and
musicians of note she was spoken of to
the young director of the orchestra, who
eagerly opened negotiations for her en
gagement for the ensuing season. The
programme follows,:

GETTING .GOOD TONE.
Singing and Speaking Defects Re
moved by Training.
Miss Anna Ditchburn, of thi3 city, well
known here as a soprano vocalist and
public reader, is studying voice with
PeYcy Stephens, a New York teacher, and
sends to The Oregonlan a helpful article
Mr. Stephens recently wrote on "The
Voice": '
Americans are sadly-deficient In voice cul
ture. The doctor, lawyer, orator, clergyman,
society woman and school teacher prepare
themselves carefully for their various posi
tions In life, but neglect that all-Important
matter' the voice.
This Is more particularly to be remarked
in the American actor and actress, richly
endowed, as they are by nature, with phys
ical and mental gifts of high order, they fall
to appreciate the necessity of voice culture,
which.' of course. Includes enunciation.
In the theaters of Europe the first thing
one recognizes Is the well-ufalncd voice. How
rarely, I am sorry to say, do we hear It
from our own tage! How often do we hear
the text of the song from the singer? Per
fect enunciation Is so exceptional as to occa
sion Immediate remark.
One may possess every charm, physical
and intellectual, but. If the voice be harsh
or rasping, the effect Is seriously Impaired.
A- good voice, properly controlled, Is- the
basis of many a professional reputation. How
much time, for example, does the lawyer
give to the cultivation of his voice? Tho
Influence of a resonant and finely modulated
voice has helped to win many a case before
a Jury. How much, more convincing and
Impressive the sermon of the minister If his
delivery be smooth and free from disagree
able ' nasal tones. How soothing -the pres
ence of a physician as he enters the patient's
room, with words of comfort and advice
given In a soft, musical 'otce. How abso
lutely necessary Is voice culture for the
society woman.
Most people are of tho opinion that a fine
voice is a natural endowment. It is more
a question of knowledge In its use than a
lack of natural voice. It Is purely and
simply the working of the law of subcon
sciousness. The trained mechanism of the
vocal cords acts with the same uncon
scious certainty as the trained fingers of the
technlclst. One should realize this, and go
back to first principles. It is hard. It Is a
blow to one's pride. What! Go back to my
A. B, Cs? Ufe is' too short! one exclaims.
It should be a matter of pride, in any time
of life, to do the correct thing.
I repeat, it Is a Question of knowledge, not
a lack of natural qualification. Therein lies
a. point for the mother. See what power Is
ers. If she will only "learn how," what a
simple matter, both by teaching ana exam
ple, to bring up a child to the possession
of a round, well-modulated voice. Early
training is of vast Importance, for the last
ing Impressions of childhood are well known.
This result con only be accomplished by
serious thought and effort.
The production of the voice Is not such a
mysterious thing. The fundamental princi
ples of "speaking" and "singing" are the
same. The "tone course," "support,"' "re
sistance to the breath-pressure," 'poise of

the head and body," are not different, but !
more accentuated. The shortest road, to
correct tone In speaking is through the
correct tone In singing. As the singing tone
is more sustained than the speaking tone,
a clearer understanding of the value of the
different vowels and of those In which a
particular voice Is defective can be obtained
through singing 'than by the methods of elo
cution. The came is true of enunciation.
The voice is an Index to character and a
potent factor in the makeup of an attract
ive personality: and congenital malforma
tion, barring disease or accident. Is the
only apology for a disagreeable voice. A
gentle, well-modulated voice Is Infallible
evidence of culture and the acme of good
taste and good breeding.
