piayed all of Mrs. Rahn's accom
paniments with extreme under
standing.
Mrs. Rahn was demurely lovely
lu her rose-colored Colonial gown
with its countless 'ruffles, tight
basque and quaint lacing. In this
costume she sang. three of Francis
Hopkinson's most perfect love
lyrics, "My Days Have Been So
Wondrous Free," "Beneath a
Weeping Willow's Shade," and
"My Love Is Gone to See." . The
group closed In a perfect tumult
of applause when Mrs. Rahn fin
ished the picturesque "The Second
Minuet," (Maurice Besly).
Mrs. C. Ralf Miller of Portland,
sister-in-law of the soloist, gave
exceedingly acceptable renditions
of three of the Brahms waltzes
the first of which. "Waltz in B
major," was especially fulfilling.
Jn her second group Mrs. Rahn
wore a gorgeous Oriental gown
of! lacquer red, cherry-blossom
white, and clear blue, with a
dark, .heavy head-dress. "The
Song of the Plum Tree" was an
exquisite number, exquisitely ren
dered, and admirably accompan
M. The "Song of the Pine and
Cherry was another Oriental
capieo. Remaining numbers in
the group were "Pillow Song,"
"Song of the Well Rope," and
"The Honorable Chop-Sticks." All
of Ithe numbers in this group were
written ky. Dalhonsie Young, with
the exception of the last. , -

tinctive - piano numbers just be
fore Mrs. Ralui'B Russian portray
als;.' TVlrs. Miller played Mac
Dowell's "Improvisation" and the
rapturously gay "Hopak" of Mons
sorgsky. The 4 "Hopak" was so
clamorously received that the pi
anist was forced to return to the
piano and repeat it. ;
Mrs. Itahn returned to the stage
for: her unforgettable Russian
group in which the three numbers
were extraordinarily enacted,--,
each a miniature drama, with the
vocalist acting and the deft fingers
of he, accompanist, auickly .erect
ing! and changing brilliant stage
Betau Very lovely, were "the "Two
Folk ongs of Little - Russia," ar
ranged by Efrem. Zimballst. A
haunting number was the closing
"Hopak," which Mrs. Jtahn sang
with such fine abandon, such su
perb rocal acclaim. For this group
Mrs. Rahn wore the lovely cloak,
boots! and head'dress of a beautl-

ful young peasant girl.
The end of the program came
too quickly, though the sheer
beautiful quality of the tiing was
intense.
The last group was magnificent
ly given, from the haunting "In an
Old, Old Garden" to the passion
ate cry, "How'g My Boy?" Mrs.
Rahn's gown was a lavish model
of cobalt blue georgette, rich with
medallions of rhlnestones.
The stage was unusually at
tractive last night with many
boughs of cherry blossoms arrang
ed with the footlights, and bas
kets of 1 hydrangeas, gladioli, tu
lrps and Easter lilies on the platform.

"One of the greatest forces in
modern .merchandising today is
color," said Mr. E. F. Seagrave
one of the officials of The Paraff
ine Companies, Inc., wTio arrived
here yesterday. "Concerns selling
household furnishings and wom
en's apparel realize the importance
of selecting the right colors. It Is
now being demonstrated that the
colors that will be popular in a
coming season can be largely fore
cast on a basis of previous col
ors." "Color in the workroom can be
used profitably in treating the de
sired effect upon employees. On
the other hand where groups are
working under high pressure, a
shade of gray' green will tend to
relieve the nerve strain. The
whole atmosphere of a town can
be changed by the proper selection
of paint ami roof coverings. Tho
drab and depressing appearance
of many towns is such that men,
in many cases become dissatisfied
with their surroundings. Thous
ands of mill workers come from
countries where the humblest vil
lages are scones' of-beauty.
"Really the possibilities in the
use of color have hardly been
touched." declared Mr. Seagrave.
"The Paraffine Companies, Inc.,
realizing this tendency of color in
home beautifying, have installed,
the necessary -equipment for the
purpose of producing colorful min
eral surfacing for the molern
ideas in roofs."
"Time was when a roof was but
a roof -today it is "The Crowning
Clory of the Home." Home folks
want a roof of color and design
a roof that blends with and sup
plements the color scheme of the
rest of the home- a roof that is a
part of the picture and not some
thing that has to be there."
