EATHlEEN LAWLER during her
stay in Kurop and her travel
; In the 8tata has coma to the
conclusion that America -i full
i of lovely voices and that the
RlrU in thl country , do not ireaiiy
know what native talent they posses.
Miss Lawler, coloratura , soprano.
Portland girl, preparing for -operatic
' work. A here to pass the summer,
- planning to remain three months, and
yesterday she tajlted interestingly and
enthusiastically . of music and must
clans, z-t
"America has lovely voices." she
erted, after speaking of the students
in Paris and other European; centers.
"The girls here seem to be born sing
ers, nearly .every one with some veice,
whereas in Europe natural i voices are
r Quite rare.. . - - -
"And voices seem to endure here bet
ter, than for instance in France. Tou
can't name a" famous French woman
alnrer today, of age.. It seems their
voices we not lasting. - X" r i
his is due largely t& the language,
however. - The French insist on dis
tlnctN diction, and it cannot be done iu
, French without a te.rrlfic strain on the
fclgh voice. "
"French .teachers i devote, more .at
- tentlon to nuances and charm than
voice, and this is why many foreign
teachers Are so successful in Paris.
They teach voice and tone production.
The French teach interpretation and
aU the little finishing touches that go
: to perfect th art. ;, - -.
"So - the French language is diffi
cult tof the high voice, If you wish to
; guard your text.' But when it comes
- t medium or low. It is different. That
is whV we4 have ' so many splendid
French baritones and bassos. -
"lUlian, on the other hand, is free
" and open. And so 1 English.
"Some of the modern composers give
you outlandish words to sing high.
The old composers related the musie to
- the text eo that for instance a word
like Spring-would not fall on a high
' note' where it- could , not possibly be
pronounced without - either Impairing
the tone or the enunciation.
A a vettt Vnn ; I nusei the Winter
r In 'New York and while there met sey-
eral former portlanders, among them
Mrs. May Dearborn Schwab, soprano,
'' whc is doing concert work and holding
a-nod chair nosition. ' Her voice has
developed "greatly and -broadened.
Harry Hilligan. organist at the Fifth
'Avenue Baptist - church, , is gaining
' prominence through his childrn"a
songs: Ann Swihburn is looking over
plays for-the coming season and has
been - coaching -for concert repertoire.
Tom Dob son, tenor, gave two concerts
recently that I had, the good fortune
, to attend. He is studying voice and
rirtinir Mall in Mmmnanlat I think
he is going to develop into a very in
teresting lieders singer. It is not so
"much Dobson's voice that appeals, it
is his artistic singing.- Marion Bauer's
children's songs, like thos of Harry
MlIUgan,.'are making quite a - hit. .1
. shall sing. one '-of each-at the concert
: here before I leave.
- "A greaf many singers of interna
tional fame passed the winter in New
Tork because of the war in r Europe.
'There were Sembrlch. teaching; Calve,
, CarolineAVhite and David Bispham. in
high "classsMvaudevllle? Paderewski,
trying- to cllect funds for his suf
fertng countrymen,-and unable to? play;
Passles, the famous cellist; Bauer, the
pianist, and Kreissler, the violinlst.
-TVhy doesn't' Paderewski play?
you heard it asked often. But the poor
man can't play in his grief over his
slxicken country. And there are many
otners - in tne same category. ucj
cannot put soul into .their art under
such circumstances..-
"Just before I left Paris, it was then
a month after war had started, foreign
students who resumed work were often
. told to desist practicing In their rooms.
They would begin to sing or play and
immediately some one would rap on
the door, and' courteously -but firmly
' intimate, that it was not to be toler
ated. -
Speaking of ; Portland singers in
New Tork, I forgot to mention Kath-

Tatlc Tops
By Mary Lee.
"1 don't know what to do with the
top of this table," said a woman who
had rented an inexpensive "camping
out", bungalow, for the aummerTh
bungalow was simple, freshly painted,
and attractive; but the furniture, as
usual la such cases, was exceedingly
cheap and lacking in good taste.
The table in nnntlnn ,
highly varnished. Everything that
was ' placed upon it scratched the
varnish and the woman was anxious
to avoid Pads and t&hi rinth. inHn
her summer ouUng. A varnish re
mover and a few coats of paint would
have - Improved the table: but to the
landlord the varnished wood, was
beautiful and he would not hear of
this Innovation,
This - woman, howevor. win n
cetlent household decorator, and this
is the .way she finally solved U;
problem. Over the table she stretched
a piece of white .oilcloth. On thi.
about a foot deep around the edce of
the table, she stenciled a border of
green to match the. green and white
china she was using. Then she var
nished the painted . border with a
waterproof varnish. The result; was
surprising. The cheap, commonplace
table was transformed into an orlr.
Inal and attractive rlec of rniti-
furniture, suitable to a bang-alow. It
could be set with or without doilies,
and was kept fresh and Bootless thr
rubbing with a damp cloth,
A stencilled ' design on oilcloth can
be used in other ways. It is good -for
siicnen caoies, ana mates a pretty
and practical top for a dressing table
in the bathroom.
For the more expensive appointed
summer house, a table covered With
chintz and fitted with a plate glass
top is exceedingly attractive This is
very expensive if ordered from a pro
fessional decorator; but If you buy
the chints yourself, fit It to your ta
bleland have the glass cut to measure,
the cost will be much less and the
effect quite as pleasing.
Another device for an inexpensively
furnished country house is the trans
formed kitchen table. A cheap kitchen
table can be treated in a variety of
ways to make an attractive bedside or
writing table for the guest chamber.
One that I have seen, for a green and
white bedroom, had the legs sawed off
to a convenient length and was paint
ed an apple green. Over the top was
stretched and tacked on the under
sidea cover of green denim; on the
top of this was set a large green writ
ing blotter, a rack for note paper, and
a green pottery ink well. - The result
was a pretty and original writing
table at a costvof two dollars and a
half. . . i . ;
A kitchen, table painted white and
decorated to match the chintz or wall
paper is attractive; but this demands
some skill with the brush.

mental reasons, of course, but at the
same time they are a mighty good In
vestment," said J. J. Rahlf. of the firm
of Wollenberger & Co. "They are is
sued in small, as well as lartre
amounts. Expectant though we were
of a warm response, we have been sur
prised at the character of some of our
purchasers. Worklngmen as well as
captains of industry have bought."
- The total ! allotted to this country
was 25,000,000 marks of the issue of
1,200,000,000 marks. Chicago, and the
territory 'surrounding it, therefore,
have absorbed about one-fifth- of the
whole. The subscription price is

this figure, although In Berlin the
price has risen to 99. The bonds
bear 5 per cent Interest and can not be
called before 1924.
"This is the second-loan floated by
the German government," said Mr.
Rahlf. - "Both-, have been easily dis
posed of."
