Sojourner, at Avalon. on Catalina Island. Art Given Slight Start by Appearance of Three Maids Attired in
Combination Riding and Swimming Costume.

AVAl-ON. ml.. Aor- 11 Three
sprightly young ladles, visitors
from the East, have solved the
muvdi great question of mountain
rostume vs. aquatic by combining the
two In a hybrid garb of the moat de
lightful pljuanry. which turna a dam
sol out In two styles at onoe. and
which has mad the supreme censors
In session on the verandas of the
prominent hotels gasp at the audarlty
of Uie lrls and threaten proceedings
for contempt of court.
The audarlous younr women In ques
tion are the Mlaaes Iris and Nirvana
A dame, of New York City, and Mine
Susanna Peloe. of Jersey City, the
former two pretty blondea and the lat
ter a splendid brunette. They hare
erolred the first real equestrlenne
swlmmlns; costume ever seen on the
Paciflo Coast. If not In the world.
Can you Imagine It? Anil can you
Mama the supreme conrt of the ellts
for conalderlns; It an Infraction of Ju
dicial dtrnlty?
The costumes which hay so sudden
ly appeared to enliven midsummer
so-lety here, are a direct result of the
bitter discussion over what should be
the fashionable outdoor costume on
a sea beacb which Is overshadowed
by mountains. The resourceful young
ladles were raised near salt water.
They have to spend part of the day In
wimmlna". And how they can swlral
Here Is their plan:
Combination la Keceoslty.
The nomine costume must be suit
able for rldlnr and swimming, without
chance: the rtde tn the early morning,
followed by the ocean plunge direct
from the saddle. If possible. The cos
tume must be chic and always fre
sentable a little startling perhaps, but
always on' the safe side.
Therefore the costume shall conalut
of a not-too blouay blouse of a soft
browa material resembling khaki, but
oft and silky, with low neck and roll
ing nautical collar: a pair of bloomers
of the same material, not too bloomy
In fact, they may be mistaken at a
casual glance tor loose knickerbock
ers, or shrunken harem skirts ampu
tated at the knee: very attractive silk
stockings and very stylish bootlets
with little spurs attached. Add a
Westerly dash of sombreo on top of a
red bathing headdress, and they're off
lip the mountainside, with attentive
escorts, of course. When the party
returns from the ride. the young
ladles may proceed dlreotly Into the
i'acUle Ocean merely by doffing the
sombrero and kicking off the bootlets.
The novel suits are not a bit less at
tr lve when wet; and If the plunge
Is to be taken from the side of a yacht
some distance out. Instead of right
from the horses barks, they ara per
fectly adapted to shipboard, offering
unusual opportunities for gracefully
riding the bowsprit with Bilk-clad
tootsies wrapped about the martingale,
a feat wltneaaed when a yacht belong
ing to a prominent young man of Los
Angeles put to sea with a party which
Included the unlquely-clothed young
ladles. .
'It's a Jolly good way out of the eos
tume difficulty. Isn't It?" said Miss
Deles today, "and what If tha people
do stare? We are always dry when
we walk on the atreet front, and we
don"t look exactly repulsive, do we?
'Sat Breath-Taklng," Sayo Woman.
"What do people Say? Why. what
do tha Mra. Grundys usually say when
ona tries to Introduce a novelty? For
my part. I can't see why there should
be anything so breath-taking In the
costume. It Is graceful and conven
ient and appears to me preferable any
day to flannel bloomers reaching to
the ankles. Have you ever noticed
how the self-same Mrs. Qrundys who
are so horrified over the Innovation,
rig themselves up for a dip In ths
ocean? Could anything suggest on
galnllness and ugliness better than a
billowy female clad to her ankles in a
badly fitting droopy bathing suit, a
Straw hat tied on her head, waddling
out to let the waves lap her toes?
Don't you think it Is vulvar to attract
notice by clothing oneself In clumsy
fashion?
-The reason a graceful costume, such
as ours, attracts so much notice Is be
cause the general public Is unusd to
grace and harmonious lines.
Plenty of It, Too.
"No. I don't think It a bit too scan
ty. We are all agreed that It Is tha
most convenient and appropriate cos
tume ever evolved. Anal La think the
critics should be still until Ue bathers
of the opposite se are restricted
somewhat more than they now are In
this otherwise delightful sport. for'I
have found no one who would deny
that the men make a repellant show
ing on California beaches. I'm sorry
that we are going away soon, for I
would like to argue that question out
with the board of censors, though I'm
sorry we have brought any publicity
to our party."
Bo Tar. the slashers of the Oordlan
fashion knot have done their swim
ming that portion of It done dlreotly
from shore from Pebbly Beach. In
stead of Avalon. They finish their
horseback ride there, send their horses
around to town by an attendant, and.
with their escorU, swim and stroll
along the rocks until they land In the
eastern end of the bay. The local
young gentlemen haven't shown as
much resourcefulness as the Eastern
young ladles in their rldlng-swImmlng
clothes, but are content to wear ordi
nary equestrian costumes Over bath
ing suits, and "peel" at the water's
edge. The attendant takes charge Of
tn outer garments.
The Misses Adams and Delos have
been members of a house party enter
tained by Ban Francisco people.
AMERICAN SINGERS OWE DEBT TO
GERMANY FOR THEIR SUCCESSES
Hostile Criticism Often Made in United States That Artists From Tbis Country Are Unfairly Treated Across
Atlantic Said to Be Unwarranted When Aetna! Experience Is Considered.
bt exilic rsAKcn baver.
EVERY season finds new American
students In the opera-bousee of
Germany, and this year there Is an
unusually intereetlng . number enrolled
In place of those who have worked
themselves Into other fields. The raoit
Interesting phase of these engagements
Is that this would m to Indicate with
out further queltlon tbe attitude of
Germany to American Singers and ar
tist. Ail too frequently and with little
Cause over-sensitive papers, eager to
create senaatlOna. publlah stories pur
porting to prove that- Germany Is tired
of what is known as the American In
vasion and that they are the target for
aptte and for vilification, but thoae who
know what this country owes to Ger
many for the opportunities for study
and for experience that our artists have
been afforded reaent this phase of Jour
hallem more than any one else. We
need only remember that Nordics. Frem
tad, Blapham and others have won evar
lading reputations aa Wagnerian elng
ero la Oermany long before this country
ever considered them: that Mary Garden
had Stirred the world when America
hardly knew of her existence, through
the opportunity riven to her In Paris,
and SO there are many who have gained
their experience In Italy and elsewhere
In Kurope. '
Grls-wold Will Return.
Within the past seasons America
has had back again to grace Its
operatic stage such artists as White
hall. Hinckley, to say nothing of Geral
dtne Farrar. after having received the
stamp ef Oermany to the full. Putnam
OrlswOld Is next la order, and he will
be remembered as the brilliant young
basso from Oakland. Cal, who has been
one of tbe Berlin favorites for several
years. Grlswold will come for bis first
engagement at tha Metropolitan next
eeaeon. although he miut a tour with
Henry W. Savage In the 'Parsifal" per
formances. There are some few. but
very few who have made positions for
themselves ta Amerloa and tbca elsewhere-Foremost
among theee ara Louise
Homer, the great contralto, who Is
probably the moat versatile contralto
ef today, singing ss She doee the leading
Wagnerian roiea. the nrst Italian roles,
the French leading contralto roles, and.
ef course, anything that English opera
has had to offer hr at the Metropolitan.
FUccardo Martin, after a mere debut In
Italy, has become ona of the leading
tenors of the world, and assuredly at
the Metropolitan he comes next In piece
to Caruso f.om the standpoint Of Voice,
and la repertory he seems Inexhaust
ible, as be Baa to hat advantaC over
the great Itailan tenor the faot that he
la equipped in Italian. French and. of
course. Engslsn. and only his personal
frtsBds know that If tomorrow he were
called t tha German opera be would
be perteeCy prepared, as he has already
all the heroic and lyrlo Carman roles.
In London Martin has won a position
miaba wnai se tue - " -
unfortunate crime of being an American,
and just what this means only he and
his American confreres Could tell.
Of the younger Amerlcsns who have
wedged Into the wel'.nlgh lmpaasable
doors Of the Metropolitan, one of the
most pronounced successes has been that
of Alma Gluck. who with youth and
beauty and a beautiful voice as her only
ssxets. made a place for herself at the
Metropolitan. For two seasons the young
artist has been plesdlng with Gattl
Casassa to let her out of her eontraot.
for she ia more than eager to go to some
small opera-house In Europe to do what
la known aa routine work, but he re
fuses this, as she has become a drawing
card and she Is really unhappy over the
fact that shs came Into a position of
such Importance so esrly and without
what she felt she needed.
Future Believed Bright,
Herbert Wltherspoon has won a place
for fclmeelf by aheer determination, be
cause he went onto the Metropolitan
stage with no experience whatsoever, and
In the first season his results were not
such as to have warranted him In re
maining In opera when be was suoh a
powerful figure In recital and In ora
torio. But Last season -he arose to Superb
Melghte In German opera, and there Is
little doubt thst he will become one of
the great Wagnartaa stngtrt Of this
country, and be will be so much ths
more interesting because 61S experience
will have been gained solely at tha
Metropolitan.
Among the Americans wno are to make
careers within the next few years is
Lucy Gates, of Bait Lake City, who has
been studying In Berlin for soma years.
Bhe hss been engaged to sing the lead
ing coloratura rolea in Casael. although
she has sung at the Royal Opera In
Berlin.
Julia Uelnrlcha, the talented daughter
of Max Helnrlci.a. Is a young artist
worth watching. Beginning her profes
sional life as a concert contralto of ex
traordinary range, she became con
vinced a couple of years ago that she
should have bvn a loprtno. She reversed
conditions and began study of the voice
with that In view. She has Just been
engaged for the youthful dramatlo so
prano rolea In Hsmburg. and she will
have a year of preparatory routine at
the opera in i-berfeld. Paul Petri, well
known in musical circles of New Tork
and Newark, will sing a ysar In Chun
Hill preparatory to Ailing a three-year
contract in Hamburg.
May Schelder, from Indianapolis, but
well known In New Tork. has had un
usual success at Zurich, where she bss
bsen for three years. Sf.e will now go
to Karlsruhe, which is One of the more
important opera-houses of Europe, and
In the same company will ba the Cali
fornia contralto, Margarets Bruntach.
Miss Schelder had the good fortune to
lfltsrest Sembrleh. who recommended the
young American t her own teacher, the
younrsr Lamport!, and Miss Schelder
has the distinction of being one of the
lsst pupils of that noted master.
Ameag other Amerioane wno e,r i
Germany are Alfred Plccaver, who will
go for five years to the Vienna Royal
Opera. Burton Plersol, a young basso
cantante, who has been studying with
Putnam Grlswold will sing at tha Ber
lin Royal Opera next season, Bella
Applegate will go to the Lander Thea
ter in Prague, George Meader from
Minneapolis Is now singing at the Court
Theater In Stuttgart after a successful
beginning at Ilpslc. Porothy Letta
who Is known In light opera circles in
America Is singing In tha Bummer sea
son at Kroll's in Berlin, Ella Hlrsch
berg, of Newark, will sing messo roles
at the Bremen opera this season, tfybll
Conklln, of New Tork. whose studies
were made with Oocar Baenger will
make her debut on the stage in Flber
feld while Ruth Ashley and Helen
Stanley both pupils of Frank King
Clark have been re-engaged at Halle
and Wurxburg where their success has
been unusual.
This is only a small proportion of the
Americans who are engaged In Europe
and this Is only on the smaller etages
of Oermany. The real proportion of
American singers on the stage In
Europe and In America would be well
ntfrh impossible to estimate while but
a few years sgo the story could ' b
told In a few words. '
Osoar Hammersteln has made no
promises, but It Is obvious that Jie In
tends to use American talent as he
can. Among those already engaged are
Orvllie Harrold. the young tenor dis
covered by the Impresario Just before
be closed the Manhattan, and Arthur
Phillips, a brilliantly talented young
concert and oratorio singer to whom
Mr. Hammersteln will give his first
chance In opera.
e e
Friends Of Mme. Oadski have been
delighted to hear that the great prima
donna has entirely reoovered from her
recent Illness and there Is now no
doubt that she will be in New York In
first-class condition for the entire sea
son. rur1ng the last part of the op
eratic season In New York Mme. Gadskt
wss such a sufferer from sciatica that
she went through most of her roles
hardly conscious of what she was doing
so great was her pain. But she has
undergone a slight operation and she
has spent almost her entire time under
the oare of the most eminent specialists
who pronounce her entirely recovered
and able to stand tha very great strain
which next lesson will prove for her.
The fact that she Is now climbing
mountains In the Tyrol would signify
that Brunnhllde Is herself again,
e e
Harold Bauer who will be one of tha
greatest attractions that the new sea
son will offer will make his first re
appearance tn New York Friday after
noon October 17. with Walter Dam
roach and the New York Symphony
Orchestra In the New Theater, where
Mr. Damrosch Is planning anotner eiao
orate series of concerts. Mr. Damrosch
has announced eight Friday afternoon
subscription concerts beginning Octo
ber JT. snd 18 8unday afternoon con
certs. The Friday concerts will be
designed for the most aavancea stu
dents of music and will Illustrate the
development of symphonic mnslo. from
tha concerto and suite of Bach and
Handel to the complicated symphony
of today.
e e
Next season w may etpeet to be
flooded wltn Llsrt music as this Is
the centenary year of that great
master of the piano whose composi
tions during his lifetime always suf
fered On account of his extraordinary
gifts as pianist. There will be few
organizations, orchestras or soloists
who will not devote entire programmes
to his compositions and already some
elaborate offerings are announced.
In commemoration of Llsxt, who was
born October 22. 1811. Walter Damrosch
will open his double series of Friday
and Sunday afternoon concerts with a
Llsxt Festival, when Harold Bauer
will play one of the Llsst concertos.
Tha MacDowell Cborus whlcn. has be
come In one season a sensationally
auooessful singing organisation under
direction of Kurt Schlndler will give
at Its first concert of the season
Llsxt's "Saint Elisabeth." Arthur Fried
helm, a noted Llast pupil, one of the
last of the great ones has already been
engaged tn many parts of the country
to give Llsxt programmes.
From all over come news of sym-'
phony orcheetrss sprouting up her
and there. Indeed there seem: ie
almost as much Interest displayed In
this form of amusement as In the
Optra. Many will 'remember Henrlques
de la Fuente. who was musical director
at the Manhattan Opera-House after
Mr. Hammersteln succseded in separat
ing hlmeelf from that great conductor
Campanlnl upon whom rested much of
the suocess of that house. De la Fuente
who conducted French opera In New
Orleans last season will begin a series
of symphony concerts in that city Octo
ber U and It will be Interesting to note
tn result, as New Orleans is a city
wherein opera has always flourished
With the utmost success. Indeed for
some years there was much rivalry be
tween New Orleans and San Fran
cisco so far ai appreciation of opera
was concerned and New Orleans has
always supported its opera, but In San
Francisco the old days of excellent
opera at the Tlvoll are no more.
Saint Paul will have a very elaborate
season again under Walter Rothwell
who has sent bis final arrangements
from Europe where he has been
partially resting. His announcements
Include 11 concerts by the Saint Paul
Orobestra and an extra concert to be
given by the New York Philharmonic
orchestra which under Its new leader
Stransky of Bxrlln. will make a tour
