DEATH OF TERESA CARRENO SHOCKS MUSICAL WORLD, ALTHOUGH DEMISE WAS NOT UNEXPECTED Brave Fight for Life Made by Singer "Who, While Still Young, Became Torchlight in Opera, Says Emilie Frances Bauer Singularly Appropriate Funeral Services Are Held for Talented Woman. BT KMILIE FRANCES BAUER, NEW YORK, June 30. (Special.) The death of Teresa Carreno came as a great shock to the musical world, although those in closest touch with the great artist knew that ehe was seriously ill and that she could probably not recover. , She made a brave fight for life, as might have been expected of that leonine mind, her on desire having been to get back to her children from whom she was separated, and this was one of the things which preyed on her mind. She began 'living' so early and her life had been so full that It Is al most Impossible to believe she was only 63 years of age last December. She was like a firebrand born Into the world, and this firebrand became a torchlight at a time of her life when most men or women are still regarded as children. A torchlight she remained until the end. but for those few weeks during which she lay in the throes of such agony that those nearest and dearest could have regarded her re lease but another of the blessings which had already been heaped upon her, side by side with the sort of suf fering which only a soul of that quality can pass through and emerge the greater for the experience. Who can penetrate the mysteries of that which goes into the psychological makeup of such a personality, of such genius and of such achievements? Not alone can a world figure like this not be meas ured by other human beings, but either human beings are perfectly helpless in the attempt to measure or to analyze. Tet the study of the woman Teresa Carreno would supply a large chapter In the Book of Life, in the book which we do not at all understand and Into which we would all fain write our puny impressions of the unknowable. It would reveal something about the urge of self-expression, the relation of this expression to that immeasureable foun tain of love which was as much a part of that towering artist as was her genius. Hers was broader than musi cal talent: this talent had its fountain head in the dramattic fire of her soul. This quality is little known and less understood ; It la an Illumination and warmth of the soul. & power visualiz ing and Infusing of the divine spirit into the more tangible senses and emo tions which may be conveyed to others, and being conveyed, represents the in cense and perfume of such a soul. It is not possible at this moment to refrain from the mention of her four marriages, three of which were pathetic examples of th vAcscence of Joy, of what must be paid in pain and suffer ing for those who believe that love for man or woman, for home and fam ily is the birthright of every human being. It has been a Joy and consola tion to those who loved and revered this great woman to be able to read her justification through the beautiful devotion which existed between her and her last husband. Arturo Taglia pietra. in. whose love her soul was enabled to soar to its greatest height on the wings of peace and love, which were always more necessary to her than food to a body. She knew what was responsible for the qualities that came into her playing in later life. She knew that the tempestuous eagle may- sweep mountain heights, but angels soar beyond, and so she soared into spiritual heights of which others know not, of which none could know save those who had paid for this knowledge with well-nigh broken heart and battered wing. But with Carreno the wing was that of a Phoenix, and she arose bearing ever higher and higher the banner for music. .She 'did not heed the trappings of the stage to fan, the imagination, to supplement with . explanatory text or picture the music of any master, which, filtering through her marvelous In tellect and soul to say naught of colos sal technical powers, was made the (Concluded, oa.

ENGLISH STRIVE TO FOLLOW FOOD CONTROLLER'S VAGARIES Any Food Substitute Is Tried Once Wounded Soldiers Enjoy Ocean Trip, Cheered by Fears of German Prisoners That U-Boat Would Get Them. BY EDITH E. LAN YON. SOMEWHERE IN ENGLAND, May 26. Very soon I hope to go as nurse to a newly opened Convales cent Home for Soldiers and Sailors. As it Is at the sea I may be able to "carry on" without grettlngr hay fever.- 1-ater. having lived a!f my life in America 1 should like to help at either an American or Canadiai hospital whlchevr needs a V. A. L nurse. Even our reverse-of-enthusiasttc matron admitted that I was not a bad nurse. Jer precise words were: "In many ways you are a most efficient nurse and very keen on your work." Alas, rto went on to say that I was not strung enough for so big a hospital; "1; is s.iiiJy madness for you, nursr. madnczi;. to be continually rushlns up and dK,t rhese granite stairs." Thcrr r.-ere a lot of stiir a:id my wnrd was in the third floor. No ele vator, of course. It was more mad dening than madness to have to climb tliem so olten. It is absurd to imagine for one moment that I shall give up anything I love so well as nursing just because it got a chill once after being- in hos pital 10 months. Katttlaar Siot So Er I am persevering In my efforts to knit socks and can go on all alone now excepting for the heeL Sent quite a creditable pair to a big battleship yes terday to an old patient of mine. Poor dear, I know he will wear them even if they are a bit lumpy in places. If I did not possess so many kind friends I think I should know more about the art of knitting. As it is, the minute I get past the easy sailing down the leg. having safely accomplished the ribbing at the top and say. "Will you show me how to turn the heel?" some kindly friend takes it from me. does the heel with all the nonchalance of long practice and hands it back to me! I know no more how it was done than I did before! I insist on rounding the toea myself, from directions in a book. Every English housekeeper now spends a great deal of her time trying to feed her household with the use of as little wheat flour as possible. My American cookery book is in great de mand because It contains so many re cipes for breads and cakes made from rye. barley, maize and oatmeal. Cookery Art la Revived. There Is really a great revival of the ancient art of cookery, with modern limitations. It is a novelty to be eco nomical, not in money but in particu lar varieties of foodstuffs. The poorer people and the ones who work with their hands must have bread. Brain workers must use their brains to try to think of something else to eat and also use their supposedly fuller purses to buy other things. Somebody suggests a new substi tute and everybody tries it. It was un fortunate that someone the other day announced that rhubarb tops boiled and used ' as a vegetable instead of spinach were both excellent and plenti ful, for many people tried them and two have died as a result of their experiment. Now another sage an nounces that not even pigs will eat rhubarb tops. One person writes to the newspaper that children must be satisfied with fewer currants in their buns. Another hastens to contradict the statement with the remark that what they must have is less bun around their currants! So it goes on and so we go on quite cheerfully doing our best to save Just what our food controller tells us to save. Sometimes a little dashed in our enthusiasm to discover that our excel lent substitute ' for potatoes is more taboo than potatoes within a week after we discovered it. As soon as things get popular they also get scarce. Small Cake Knouafc Sometimes. X can assure you that some of the war aubstitutes in the way of cakes made by enthusiastic amateurs are such that two ounces of them for after noon tea Is more than enough! Only two ounces of these seems to weigh fully a ton after being eaten, out of politeness to one's hostess. The new war rules of hospitality are unique. Your hostess Is supposed to know the weight of her cakes, and bread and butter. If you say. "Could I have another piece of cake?" she la quite equal to saying, "No, that would weigh half an ounce too much have a biscuit, they are five to the ounce." It is quite true, and a further proof of the "pure cussedness" of mankind that one feels much hungrier than if such things were not limited. It is well to look upon our petty deprivations as a joke. Later on it may be no joke. In today's paper a "Chef from a lead ing hotel" offers to impart the unique information of how to make imitation new potatoes at the small cost of five pence for 20! For the sum of one shilling, sent as a postal order, he will part with this secret recipe. Up to now I have not been able to induce anyone to part with the shilling and feel re luctant to do so myself so I cannot tell you what they are made of. Merely a war time form of gold crick, I im agine. This afternoon we are going to a war economy meeting and shall undoubt edly hear new recipes for making bricks without straw. Women workers on the land are stilt persevering in their arduous labors, re lying on their enthusiasm to keep them interested. We passed one trave maid en successfully driving a herd of bul locks to market yesterday. She looked her part, dressed in breeches and over-, alls of khaki and a big slouch hat.'. The men were making very compli mentary remarks about her nerve. Sha is a pupil at one of the farm schools.; of the county. Things are quiet down here in tho country. We did think we heard a Highland regiment with its bagpipes in the middle of the night, but it proved to be merely a snail crawling up th wlndow pane!!! It made a noise preV cisely like bagpipes playing in the distance. I got a letter this morning from an 'A. B." on a destroyer, thanking me for one of the parcels I sent off. Amongst other things he says: "The cigarettes came as a God-send, for I hadn't had a decent smoke for about three days." I consulted him as to whether it was too warm to send him and his messmates some more knitted: things. He replies: "My mess-mates would like some woolies. as the wea ther is always changing, and it does not do to throw off everything Just because there's a ray of sunshine." So I am very glad that another large parcel of knitted comforts has just arrived from Portland. Another man. a soldier, writes and says: "I really enjoyed . the parcel.". No matter how busy they are they al ways find time to write a letter of . thanks. Germans Dread Sea Trip. One of the maids here has a brother who has recently been invalided home from Krance. and is in hospital now in England. He wrote his sister a most amusing letter describing his homeward journey. They had a good many German prisoners on board, and these men were in a panic when they found they were tp be taken on a boat to England. They wept and implored to be left on dry land. "Our 'U' boats are sinking every thing On the surface of the water," they cried," and this is a hospital ship we cannot risk our lives." They were remorselessly marched on board along with our own men, and according to all accounts the jourrtey of our wounded men was 'rather cheered than otherwise by the nerv ousness of the Germans. They were most awfully surprised to find them selves safe and sound in England in spite of their "U" boats' uttermost en deavors. This man also sejrt a very clever sketch of himself in bed, tended by an exceedingly pretty Red Cross nurse. During my term on duty as night nurse st the Naval Hospital some of the sailors got up a magazine, gome of the sketches and verses in it were very good. The nurses were asked to contribute and several did bo. L my self wrote a warped little verse at 3 o'clock one morning which was re ceived and printed, I am proud to say. It may be interesting as show- s (Concluded on Fact 2, Column 4.) 0
