Mrs. Walker, native daughter of Ore
gon.
Tall and stately, with the dark eyes
and hair that distinguish the daughter
of the Norman-French-American race.
Mrs. Walker s personality suggests art.
She has the look of a dreamer, a poet,
hut music was undoubtedly given to her
as a gift, a talent to be turned to good
use. She says she loves music and
children. People who knew her as a
baby say that she had an Immense
amount of "baby musle of her own
composition always on hand, and that
she gave private recitals to her rela

which the chief attraction was LJberatl

gave an Impromptu piano recital to

then displayed that he advised her

counterpoint, etc. Mrs. Walker al
worked hard at her piano atudlea and
played with Leschetlxky's pupils
Vienna and London.
When Dr. and Mrs. Walker returned
to this city arter their foreign trip. It
was observed that Mrs. Walker ahowed
marked ability In Improvisation and
piano composition. When she played
aeveral of her new and original com
positions before the Monday Musical
Clnb her work was greeted with bearty
enthusiasm, an.l the prediction waa
made that the art of this Portland com
poser will travel much farther than
the boundaries of her native atate
The other afternoon I railed on Mr.
Walker at her apartments In 1-iicrella
Court, and had first a musical talk
and then a treat listening to the rendl
tlo of two of her own compositions
"The Reverie of a Bokhara" and "Hol
land Lullaby. I had noticed on enter.
Intr the room a prelty Rokhara rug,
from Central Asia, lying on the top of
the piano, and wondered why.
"I place the rug there for Insptra-
tlon." explained Mrs. Walker. "In the
reverie 1 am about to play I shall en
deavor to depict the situation from
the point of view of that rug."
Instantly the room waa filled with a
strange Oriental melody, called Into
being by the piano keys, and one Inuc
tned the song of a loneiv traveler fer
away from his ken. The desert waa
railed up. and the movement finished
with the aurgestlon of a camel walking
away In the distance. The "Holland
Lullaby" came neat, and It certainly
received original, dreamy portraiture.
Mrs. Walker played with unusual
ability. She nays that her Impressions
from which grow her musical compo
sitions arrive at most unexpected mo
ments and that often she has to tot
down the muslnge on paper there and
then, before they escape her. Marine
scenery helpa her In composition, and
Chopin Is her favorite composer.
ye far. this la a list of Mra Walker's
more recent musical compositions
Prelude No. 1. Prelude No. 1: Kan
rasle; Nocturnes Noa I. 2, 3. 4, (. ,

Of course. Mrs. Walker haa oth
musical compositions which as yet are
only In pencil. These and others will
leave with her next Spring when she
and her husband plan to go to New
York, where they hope to arrange for
the publication of some of Mr.
Walker's musle. Another trip to Eu
rope and the magic land east of Kurope
Is also contemplated, and we may then
expect to see the Walkers back to
Portland for good.

What Some Dentist Say About the Rex
Dental Company and the Al
veolar Method.
There Is not a DENTIST in this city
who does not know that the ALVEO
LAR METHOD Is revolutionizing den
tistry. That it is the only entirely sat
isfactory way to restore missing teeth.
They know that It is the most beautiful,
most comfortable and most scientific
way that it will last a lifetime. That
every patient in this city who has this
work (and there are hundreds of them)
will say, it asked, that It Is absolutely
perfect and entirely satisfactory in ev
ery way. We know we employ only
dentists of the very highest ability,
that we have eleven of the most suc
cessful high class dental offices In the
world, that we pay the largest salaries
paid anywhere in the world. Thereby
attracting tha cream of the profession
and that every dentist we employ is a
top notcner. Yet tnere is naraiy a
day that one or more people, wise
enough to investigate for themselves.
do not come in and tell us that Dr. So
and So savs "It's Impossible, nothing to
it. They can't do It. It won't last, etc..
etc" we do not extiect any other den
tlst to recommend his patient to come
to us. it is not natural ior any man
to send his business awav and to an
other. But we do expect every Honest
Man to Tell tne Trutn, or say noming.

Aveolar Teeth and Enunciation!
The partial plate and bridgework
which people used to wear befo're the
Alveolar Method of restoring missing
teeth was discovered interfered greatly
with enunciation. The very fact of a
foreign substance being introduced into
the roof of the mouth made it neces
sary for people to learn to talk all
over again. A great many never suc
ceeded. There is an unmistakable Impediment
In the speech of anyone whose mouth
Is encumbered with a partial plate or
a bridge with space underneath to whis
tle through or make a metallic sound
when talking or singing. The partial
plate also makes it unpleasant when
one is dining. It takes away in large
measure the sense of taste, as it covers
up the palate. The Alveolar Method
emancipates people from the many disagreeable-
features of the partial plate,
but, best of all, it enables one to use
the Alveolar Teeth with the same de
gree of satisfaction that they would
use nature's- teeth.
No one will pretend to say that teeth
fastened to a partial plate are any
more than a makeshift. They simply
fill up the gap in the mouth where the
teeth have been lost. The Alveolar
Teeth fill up the gap and they also
allow one to chew with them with en
tire satisfaction.
Alveolar Teeth Where Bridgework Is
Impossible.
If only your front teeth are left, say
S or 4 or more, we can replace all
those that have been lost on both sides
clear back with perfect Alveslar teeth,
whilst bridgework would be impossible
even if you had 8 or 10 front teeth to
tie to. If you have only two back
teeth on each side, say molars, we can
supply all the front teeth that are
missing with beautiful, serviceable.
lifelike Alveolar teeth. This could not
possibly be done by the bridge route.
Suppose you have lost'your last (back)
teeth, two or more upper or lower on
either side. We can replace them with
Alveolar teeth. The bridge specialist
would have to advise a partial plate
which would encumber the mouth as
well as to help to destroy your other
teeth. Where you have lost a few
teeth there are dentists who would ex
tract all the rest to make room for a
plate. (Where people have no teeth
we make plates, too. And when we
do they look like they grew there.
They are scientifically and artistically
built for service and comfort as well
as beauty.) Even where bridgework
is possible, there Is no comparison be
tween the two. A very large percent
age of our work is taking out bridge
work put In by supposedly high class
dentists and replacing it with the
beautiful and artistic Alveolar Teeth.
And unlike bridgework in another re
spect, it is practically painless. No
boring or cutting into the gums, noth
ing, to be dreaded Now, then, prices
being equal, which would you choose?
Curing Pyorrhea (loose teeth), a dis
ease given up hy other dentists as incurable,-
Is another of our specialties.
We cure it absolutely. It's a boastful
statement to make, .but we can do any
thing that is possible in dentistry, and
what we do Is always of the very high
est classt Our booklets, Alveolar Den
tistry, are free. Write for one if you
cannot call. We have samples of our
work to show at all times.
