Kribs, social chairman, in LLOYD GEORGE'S RELATIVE SIXGS. A fair visitor in this city is Miss Mae Alameda George, soprano, recently star In professional light opera in New York and other Eastern points. Site is the guest of Miss Dels B. Howard, Park street near Jefferson, and may soon be heard In public concert or recital. Miss George, through her father, dis tantly Is related to the celebrated Lloyd George, Premier of Great Britain and Ireland, the one man who, experts say, has won the war against German mili tarism. It Is stated that Miss George's father very much in appearance resem bles Lloyd George, and that Miss Mae Alameda George resembles the daugh ter of Lloyd George. So much for re lationships in the Lloyd George family. Miss George's mother died last Feb ruary In British Columbia, where her father now resides. Miss George was born in Toronto. Ontario, Canada, was, when she was a baby, taken by her par ents to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where she grew up t girlhood. She grew to be proficient in many outdoor sports and won medals as the champion girl ice skater In Winnipeg. Early in life Miss George gave prom ise of being a singer of more than usual ability, and soon she was sent by her parents to etudy singing "over the line" in the United States. In Colorado and New York City Miss George busied herself with vocal study and blossomed a a church choir and concert soprano. Later she entered the ranks of young "prima donna" In professional light opera, afterward starring as prima donna In one of the "Chocolate Soldier' and other com panics. Called back to British Colombia oy the death of her mother. Miss George recently was prevailed upon by her friend. Miss Dels B. Howard, to visit the latter In her home in this city. where the fair singer soon won the af fections of Miss Howard's two adopted daughters, the tttian-haired Thelma and Velma. In manner Miss George Is vivacious and sunbeam-like. She has a merry laugh. She la quite good looking and has a finely proportioned, plump fig ure, being about five feet four in height. In singing her voice is pure. shining and beautlfuL It has been skillfully trained, and In "vocal tlm bra" It reflects both lyrio and dramatic qualities. She sings easily, and is trained actress. She is a, graceful dancer and a charming; piano accom panlst. The mends that ws George s voice has made for her in this city urge her to make this city her future home. She is as yet undecided whether she will return to New York City. Ml'SIC BRIEFS. The Treble Clef Club again Is hold ing rehearsals, and is preparing for a public appearance soon.

The programme rendered for the Portland Women's Club, under the di rection of Mrs. Frank M. Taylor, in Mrs. Petronella C. Peets, contralto, recently has been substituting in the White Temple quartet. Tom Ordemann, baritone, of' New York City, was visiting soloist last Sunday morning In the surpliced choir of Trinity Episcopal Church. He sang Shlcker's "Morning . and Evening." Gifted with a tall, commanding figure, which will be of much use to him on the concert platform when he begins his professional career as a soloist, Mr. Ordemann looks and acts like a nat ural singer, who sings from the posic tlve joy of singing. Mr. Ordemann -voice still is under process of training, under direction of Franz X. Arens, of New York City, and the strong drama' tic qualities of his voice are remark able. It is resonant and sparkling in quality, and Mr. Ordemann sings with fine, cultivated taste. He Is a serious. educated student, whose future as singer ought to be bright. Soon he re turns to New York City. Arthuf Middleton, the all-Amerlcan baritone, and whose home is In Cht cago. enjoys the distinction or Dein the only soloist engaged for 12 con secutlve performancea with the Apoli Club of Chicago. He was soloist on two tours with the New York Sym phony Orchestra, three tours with the Minneapolis Symphony and appeared as well with the Chicago Symphony, the New York Philharmonic, St. Paul Symphony, etc Arthur Middleton 1 purely an American product, never hav ing been abroad, and yet without any previous operatic experience he was engaged for the Metropolitan Opera Company, and during his first season there had 35 appearances. As an ora torlo artist his popularity is shown by the fact that he has appeared more than 200 times In "The Messiah" and 150 times In "Elijah." Mr. Middleton has sung in concert in this city. When Alfee Gentle's debut at the Metropolitan Opera-Houee had to be postponed last season on account her severe illness tt was a bitter dis appointment to her. Miss Gentle's debut this season will be made the opening week of the opera in "Forza del Destino." In her role in this opera she has a drum solo to play at the same time that she Is singing. "This Is a very difficult feat,", explained Miss Gentle, "because the rhythm of the drum part is In direct contrast to the voice. It reminds me of one of those tricks you occasionally see on the stage, when a comedian tries to pat his chest and rub his head at the same time. Mine is even more difficult because I'm not supposed to be a come dian." see Max Rosen played the Saint Saens concerto on his recent tour of New England with the New York Phil harmonlo Orchestra, and received re markable ovations in every city. In Worcester and Springfield, Mass., and Providence, R. L, he was recalled -no less than 10 times to bow his acknowl edgments to the applause of the audi ence. That he created no less a sensa tion with the critics may be seen by these few sentences culled at random from his notices. "Rosen draws a tone from his Instrument that for sheer beauty has scarcely been equalled by any violinist ever heard here. It is of ravisning sweetness anu pure MB nun light." Providence Journal. "Mr. Rosen has a breadth of style which reminds one of Kreisler, but has an individuality very much his own, Worcester Evening Post. "Max Rosen certainly has a superb technic, yet what one thinks of is never the per fection of his playing, but its charm. His tone is deltclously sweet and pure." Springfield (Mass.) Republican. If one is a frequenter of concert halls In New York City, and If one is par ticularly partial to piano recitals, one Is sure to notice the prevalence or the Ethel Leglnska " coiffure amongst the audience, writes a, New York City cor respondent, since me one ana oniy Ethel Leglnska, English pianist, de cided for reasons of comfort and econ oray to "bob" her temperamental tress. es. It seems as if many young things striving for mastery of the piano forte, thought they could become i Leglnska by doing the same. As James Huneker remarked In the New York Times recently In the course of a re view: "The hall was full of little Ethel Leginskas, with Buster Brown coiffures, full of suppressed technique and boiling over with enthusiasm." "Of course. It's flattering to be Imi tated," eays Ethel, "but I do get tired of seeing: myself duplicated sometimes.' e . At th patriotic music celebration held past Thursday night in various theaters in this city, and directed by Mrs. Percy W. Lewis, of the Monday Musical Club, stirring music was con- ributed by Mrs. J. Curtis Simmons. Mrs. Fred L. Olson, Miss Gertrude Hoeber, Dr. Stuart McGulre, Stanley Norvell. J. William Belcher, H. L. Hansen and Chester J. Hogue. Community sings also were held in those theaters, and the fine programmes reflected .credit on all concerned. It may be due to the fact that South ern California Is her official residence and that the air in that vicinity may be laden with moving picture germs, but whatever the cause, the fact re mains that there la no more enthusias Sir Henry Wood, the eminent English conductor, so long and so closely as sociated with Queen's Hall. London, who recently refused the appointment of conductor of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, insists on clear enunciation in singing. Lecturing on this subject one day he puzzled his hearers by ad dressing them as follows: "See-aea dwum dye at thee yorgorn, ay wuz iweery and ell ut eese " His audi ence looked puzzled, as well they might. "Now," proceeded Sir Henry, "this Isn't Esperanto, neither does it happen to be Chinese or Choctaw, or any other outlandish lingo, it is mere ly how many singers render the first two lines of the 'Lost Chora,' wnicn axe translated into ordinary English, "Seated one day at the organ, I -was weary and ill at ease.'

"To start at the beginning, I was a submarine lookout on the transport that landed us at Brest. One hour in every eight I mounted my high perch and scanned the sea for suspicious- looking objects. "After rest camp, we boarded box cars, little French affairs, packed like sardines, 40 in a car. After a mad house of two days and nights without sleep, we landed at a pretty little vil lage where we were billeted. We had fine quarters and fine treatment from the natives, who forced free wine on the boys, and gave us milk, cheese, but ter. Jam, stew, syrup, grapes, raisins, blackberries, etc In return we ' left some things we couldn't have taken with us, but it took hard work to get them to accept even this. "After two nights and days more of box cars, we landed at dusk and marched through the mtrd with our 60-pound sacks until dawn. The next day we heard the thunder of big guns. Leaving again at dusk, we marched till dawn through a driving rain and bitter wind, laden heavily with ammunition, equipment and other gear.

"Next day about dusk we pushed through acres of barbed wire. Finally we reached a dense thorny wood matted with wire. We penetrated this, with huge shells throwing masses of wet earth all over us and spiteful small shell whining past but miraculously hitting no one.

Willard, Civil War veteran, did not get a chance to go across and take a shot at the Kaiser in person, although he was one of the first members of the local home guard company and volunteered his services wherever they might be needed. But when he got hold of one of the cir culars advertising a motion picture play upon which the militaristic face of old Bill formed a first page feature, the temptation was too great, so he tacked the picture onto a board, took a .22 rifle and at a distance of 40 foet, put three shots Into -the Kaiser's muff."

"Believe 'me," writes Mr. Dakin, "wa are soldiering and the gas and flame unit Is some branch of the service. ' I am sure glad I picked this outfit for several reasons.

We dug a short line of trenches on the campus and placed some squirrels therein. We had pur first lesson in gassing. The work is certainly Interesting. That gas Is peculiar stuff. It is set off by elec tricity. I played my rrt by looking after the batteries. We dubbed the squirrels Boches poor beasts. The gas fixed them." REDDISH TINTS AND GOLDEN GLINTS MAKE BEAUTI FUL HAIR You will often hear girls say, "I shampoo my hair every ten days or two weeks." Washing alone does not finish the toilet of the hair, any more than washing alone finishes the toilet of the face. Smart women and girls know how to Improve the appearance of the hair. Its color can be made to appear strikingly better, without really changing the color, by shampooing with Cin derella Golden Glint Shampoo. It gives the hair the finishing touch; it brings out the reddish tints and golden glints. You don't have to wait for results; one single shampoo makes your hair look better. Adv. MUSICAL DIRECTORY.
