14 THE OREGON DAILY JOURNAC PORTLAND. FRIDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 0, 1807. CALVE, AT THE, HEJLIG Br o. I. w. , ; Skepticism ws removed perforce last wight when Calve, woman, singer and " actress, appeared on the Helllg stage. la the language of Oeorae Ada, whan you Jay it on ao thlcl: ona wonders If you're going to be there with tho goods. Calva certainly wm. For years ah tmi been railed quen of tbe oparatle stage and In no meaaura - has aha loet that position. And thourti to often an operatic alnser ta at a dis advantage In corn-art Calva roae above tha difficulty and made her hearera real lie what her romplete art la. She la a cnnauramate artist, a consum- mata actress Acting l wnl nature to her. and It In natural for her to make a whn'e chapter of mmanre ou of. aav. 'Vomln' Thro" the Kye," It were embodied In a complete opera, Hhe emnnlea warmth and brilliancy With every movement la borne the run - Tin Ion that ahe la a live, breathing human bring, full of rich, red blood; that her emotion are awlft and change able but true, and thnt ahe fairly sparkles with the Ibaeneaque "Joy of life." Tone color la hera ao rich and varied that her aonaji appear aa bcauttrul pulnt Inge. Mora Important to her than pro ducing the tone ;ust ao every time wun the aame amouht of sweetness.

It la thla sacrifice that makee Inglng In opera acem compatible with the atory It tena, mac maaea ner repre sentation or human reeunga in aong suo llma where sometimes It la only ri diculous. e Tha splendid "La Myaoll" air ahowed liar voice to better advantage even than bar Carmen numhera. There tbe way she actually played upon her voice a a thou en it were an instrument, turning It, and toaalng 4t, and juggling It, brought tha houae to thrllia of applauae that buret out oefore tha completion of bar aong. Her lowaat tonea are Just aa flaxibU and filled the house with the r warn aaae aa tha upper tonea alwaya need la auch coloratura work. Tha brll .'" Uant timbre of her voice thrilled and vl . b rated through tha houae and put to . laugh tha crltlelara that her acting only bae won her har great fame. There la little need to apeak of tha Carman excerpta. They were enjoyed - bow could It be eleeT and everyone - thrilled to realise that the only original Carmen waa doing her act before them. Har acting waa auperb, but after all, though aha waa supposedly at an ad vantage at being; at laat In her' own sphere, ahe waa hardly better off thai In her aonga. It needs the rhorua an tbe orchestra to make the proper seltln for her work svoh though It be aolo work Tha evcarntm which Incident ally, did not represent the entire second" act, but bits of two ecenra rrom in f rst and the second, were not cnnee happily for the tenor, but he waa there after all merely for carmen to ci about. That teior.-hy the way. while a sad looking lon Jose, is a pleasure 10 nrur In concert work.

Renee Chonict, violinist, won the audlrnce easily. Ilcr first number, the Hruch ai'uilo. wns the most pleas ing, but the Lain Hondo showed the awiflness of her woe ami her mastery of tho technical ilifl .t ultlen. title playa with wnrmih aid with a certain force and decision that l-nds strength In spite of trie rather sweeping tone thnt displace the clear-cut tone. She won favor easily and responded with familiar encore. Her violin ac companiment to "La Mysoll" was excel lently done and at the same time served to show the absolute truth and purity of Calve s voice as. It rose above the Instrument every time. One wondered why when all the other artlata had two appearances on the pro gram the pianist Monsieur Decreus was , figured twice, mis one numner wa played with brilliancy and ease and musical feeling that showed him worthy or attention. Ilia accompaniments throughout the evening served In a measure to ahow his musical under standing and were always In perfect sympathy and accord with his soloist. Watch Special Wa have Juat received another ona of those big shipments of high-grade watches, such well-known makes aa Klgln. Waltbnm and Hampden move ments, to be disposed of at nrlcea never before known Jn the history of I'ort- limd.

'mm Little Giftg for Christmas, , ' Among the new, pretty thlnga which may be made for Christmas are a dust ing- cloth bolder, a linen traveling: case. ".. a' lingerie ribbon bolder, ' a simple laundry bag, a linen or leather bag for collars and a similar one for cuffa. ' or. ' what la a little newer, flat cases tor these, and children's clothe racks. Any of these useful presents may be - made at two sittings, at tha nost, and . many of them may be made In an eve ' nine;. Take the duster bag, for instance. Cretonne, inch-wide ribbon, and a square of cheese cloth with a few crotched ringa wll make this attrac tive bag. Cover two circular plecea of cardboard, seven Inches In diameter with tha cretonne, on both sides and Join them with tbe ringa. Through tho rings run tha ribbon and tie In a bow at the top where the ' bag; Is hung. Within the bag place three or four dusting clotha with feather-stitched hems. The laundry bag ahould be simple so that it will launder I " a , - 'i 1 ; easily. Conventional embroidery in a large pattern la In good taste, and one should hang them with washable cord rather than ribbon. The traditional collar box with cir cular bottom Is still In use for men's collars. Flat linen cases Into which the freshly Ironed cuffs may be slipped and fastened with a snap rather than a ribbon, will not appear too finicky to the neat man. The children's clothes racks among the prettiest of novelties give to the little man or woman an Idea of neatnesa. Care ahould be tak are md en that these are hung low In the closets so that the little people can reach them easily. The hangers may be of !oard. of metal or of padded cardboard, daintily scented and covered with linen worked In cheerful, childish figures. The illustration from Mother Goose books may be utilised for a pat tern. If made of board, the hanger may be elongated and little brass screw hooks fastened through. This will make for neatness and aid in self help, two things that cannot be too much emphaalted In childish training. To make the ribbon holder, cover two piecoa or cardboard of the same alio as a bolt or ribbon, with flowered sIIk ana piace at eitner aide of the bolt with rlbbona running through and fast ening all together. This Is also an appreciates: girt to a young mother who must run fresh ribbons in so many utile garments. Remember the Poor at Christmas. From the Circle.

Read the inducements we offer for Last Side folk to trade at home on Saturday and at the LAST SIDE "BIG STORE," easy task, but It Is one which may be most appropriately undertaken at the Christmas season. In a large suburban church, a com mittee of young women was appointed whose duty was to ascertain the names or the destitute und lonely of the con gregation and to report the result of their efforta to the president of the Women's Aid society. This work, which I was started In the early fall, resulted In a large number of names belna han- I ded In. and on Christmas these persons 1 were giauaeneo oy substantial girts or money as their need required. Thus not only were the poor benefited, but the young women of the congregation became Interested In church work, and were trained for future service. In the aame way almshouses mlrht be visited, the sick and poor and lonely In hospitals and prisons found, until fin ally the true Christmas spirit would permeate the whole congregation.

Many diseases that were considered incurable fifteen year ago are now cured in a few days, and in many cases prevented altogether. The scientists of late years have been delving for the cause, the foundation, the reason and the starting point of disease, fully realizing that the actual and true cause must be ascertained before the remedy can t located. . Hair troubles, like many other diseases, have been wrongly diagnosed and altogether misunderstood. The hair itself is not the thing to be treated, for the reason that it is simply a product of the scalp, and wholly dependent upon iU action. The scalp is the very soil in which the hair is produced, nurtured and grown, and it alone should receive the attention if results are to be expected. It would do no earthly good to treat the stem of a plant with a view of making it grow and become more beautiful the soil in which the plant grows must be attended to. There fore, the scalp in which the hair grows must receive the attention if yon are to expect It to grow and become more beautiful. r Loss of hair is caused by the scalp drying up, or losing its supply of moisture or nutriment, and when baldness occurs, the scalp has simply lost all of its nounshment, leaviner tinthin? for tht hAir in tA nnnn f.nWn.f. a tree would die under similar conditions).

Practically the same idea Is carried out in a little different combination of color, the white of a hard boiled eirir mixed with mayonnaise taking the place briRht red pickled beet or red peppers eing substituted for the green. A somewhat less brilliant color scheme shows a circle of bread saute almoHt entirely covered with a red star cut from a slice of Imported sausage. On this are laid In log cabin style sev eral tlnv lensths of Dlckled gherkins. tho whole topped with a sprig of water On other little stars and circles' of bread saute may be seen miniature fruit and vegetables fashioned out or Edam cheese and held in dace either by a drop of colored mayonnaise or a little aspic. Cloves are stuck in as stems. St M St New Ideas for Entertaining. It is not always necessary to spend a large sura of money or to give a large party to Insure a good time at Christ mas. Remember that the dinner of herbs and contentment therewith Is bet ter than the stalled ox and Indigestion: so lei lauc-nter and simple joys abound.

If the refreshments are to be served on a long table, after the fashion of a New England tea party, they should consist of tea, fresh biscuits and but ter, chlppM beef, baked or boiled cus tards In tall cups, pickles, preserved quinces or preserved ginger, fruit cake and several other kinds of cake, cus tard pie and apple pie.
