THE SUNDAY OREGOXI AX, PORTLAND, JANUARY 10, 1009. Katharine Goodson, Charming Woman and Pianist of Rare Merit ff Leone Cass Bier Has Interesting Chat With Artist Wha Is to Appear in Recital in Portland. A Special Sale That Eclip All. Others : A LAI w3 1 rr f i t t BT I.EOXE CASS BAER. THe first thing that strikes a woman In looking- at a feminine celebrity is her personality. It was my rare goou fortun yesterday to meet and converse with Miss Katharine Goodson. who will appear as soloist with the Portland Symphony Orchestra on Tuesday evening at the Masonic Temple Hall, and I was at once Impressed with her wonderful charm and the one com plete sparkle of her electrical a If. She lias been called by an enthesiustic Ger man admirer a Paderewski in smiles and petticoats. She had enclosed her slender graceful body In a clinging gown of sun shine chiffon velvet, gathered In soft folds Into an empire bell, with a wide, brown silk hat und a sweeping ostrich feather shaded a most piquant, earnest little face, w ith wonderfully expri sslve eyes, like purple ranstes, and a mobile, sensitive mouth. Miss Goodson is simple and girlish and there are cadeno-s of merriment run ning through lier talk, with an Interest keen and a.crt about a dozen topics other tiian her music. In fct. It is not at all easy to talk about her music. In her Irresistible manner Miss Goodson says: "People so ofi-n ask me who Is my favorite composer. How can thy?" (with an enip'ia&is on the can). "Just as If I did not love them ail in turns, just as I do my pu-tur.'S and books, tne for one mood, or.e for another, but none really first all the time." Although es; vnlially feminine in styla and personality, she has the usually ac cepted masculine attribute of nervous fore? and stored up energy, which she ex pends to the last drop, and as may be readily conceived. pos. 'sses an enormous amount of Imagination, marked lndivid Jallty and po-tie expression. One cunnot for a moment forget Miss Goodson Is an artiste, it upp.ars so spon taneously In hr voice with Its varying lights and shad -s. In her beautiful eyes, and In her temperamental hands. Her figure is mom grac ful and willowy and reminds one forcibly of a Burne-Jones portrait but p -rhaps, after h.r fys. her hands are her most wnnd-rful feature, they ari so characteristic and full of vitality. Th y are b autlfuily shaped, with Ion?, taprinir fingers, and seem to respond to .'V -ry passing word or thought. One mlnuf they are in absolute repose, and tn n l!ke a flash they are virile with expr. sfion. il.su Goodson d -signs every gown she wears, whetu r for concrt. soci.il or trav eling wear. In a naive way MifS Good son explains: "Some days I take a day off. or oftentimes just a morning, and I plan out all the powr.s I need and then you see it need not worry me again." Her gowns are symphonies In pastel tints of beautiful texture, and are all made at Liberty's, In London. She car- PLANING MILL DESTROYED CLARK & WILSOX PLANT AT LIXXTOX DAMAGED $30,000. Entire Town Threatened by .flaniea and 6a Ted by Work of Port- land lire-boat. Fire that is supposed to have been caused by a hot box in the engine-room of the planing mil) of the Clark & Wil son Company bis plant at. Linnlon yes terday morning completely destroved the planing mill and a large quantity of lumber, entailing a loss of approx imately JJO.OiK'. But for the i;erotc work of the company's employes and efficient work of the llreboat George H. W illiams the entire plant anil portions of the town misht have been dstroyed. The loss Is covered by insurance. Engineer Henry Morgan discovered the llanies at 8:30 o'clock yesterday morning, when he opened a small door of the engine-room to glance at the machinery. As he opened it llames shot out. almost enveloping him. He quickly closed t!.e door, and, rushing out of the building, notified Foreman Albert Olson. The foreman hurried to the sawmill and by means of the whis tle sounded the alarm of lire. The entire force of 173 employes and many residents of the town formed a volunteer bricade and began a desper ate fight on the tlames. Half a dozen lines of hose were attached to the water tank on the hill and a few min utes after the discovery of the flames were sending streams of water, to check them. A strong wind from the southeast threatened danger to the sawmill and rther propertv. The fire boat Georfte II. Williams made the run in a brief time and ar- , rived In time to render valunhle s- !. stance. The llames were confined to the single building and prevented from reachlnir the sawmill and other adja cent hull. lings. "The loss, I think, will probably be . .! 1 J.

Her first lessons took place at 6 years of age, and there ensued euch rapid pro gress und.T the village organist that It i was presently decided to send Miss I "Dottle," as she was then called, to a school of music In th.3 near-by town of Walford.

In his enthusiasm: "When you j shall be so big as ine, little Dot, you I make pots of money." j She studied piano, nrpan, violin, har j mony and counterpoint at the Royal Con servatory, and attamett sucn pronciency with the vlohn as to become one of the seconds In tho oreh stra.

One simply makes a monograph with sparkling red wine for ink and dips tn it an enthusiastic nib to write of her. She barely looks 20 years old, but surely must be a bit more, else she would not have had time to set In vol canlc action such torrent eruptiuns of admiration and adulation as are her share. An example of Miss Goodson's wit, and the subtlety of her replies, was In stanced recently, when she was asked, among other famous people, by the edi tor of a London society paper, which were the qualities she most admired in a man. Her reply was: "The qual ities I most admire in a man are those which best enable him to appreciate the qualities which 1 most admire In women." Miss Goodson impressed me, first and last, as being a supremely happy woman, and us she says, that's of pri mary Importance after all. In private life she is Mrs. Arthur Hinton. and her husband.
