Madame Thomas
And Singers Are
Chautauqua Hit
' Despite the rain and the wet under'
foot the chautauqua tent was filled
yesterday afternoon to hear Madame.
- Hughes-Thomas and he company of
Koyal Welsh Singers of international
tame. As scheduled they gave a full
concert in the afternoon ana preiuaea

This organization is perhaps the
most representative of Wales that is
now touring America. Madame
. Hughes-Thomas directed the singers
, who eight in numDer ana uieo ac
companied them on the piano. The
inrarx are eirls who have studied with
" her. She has chosen the best singers
or her Chautauqua organization irom
nmnnir the manv In her choir.
Manama Hitches-Thomas Is the
daughter of the Rev. Richard Hughes,
a. well known Welsh preacher. She
married A. Edward Thomas a former
mayor of Cardiff, the most important
city in Wales, sne nas lanen an bj
" tive part in the political and musical
Ufa of her own country and since
comlnir to America and establishing
lir home at Detroit. Mich, she has
continued these activities in a broader.
way. '
Yesterday in an Interview Madam
Hughes-Thomas was asked: "So you
really sang for the kin'g and queen or
England at Windsor castle did you?"
and the big honest eyes of this tal-
' ented wortian sparkled with delight as
he replied: "Oh, yes, and wasn't it a
privilege to so highly please their
majesties as to be permitted to remain
Instead of twenty minute one hour and
a half, and to hear the king say on o-r

ingers, Madam Thomas, on your
splendid musical.4"
- "And you knew Madame Melba too,
I am told?" was another question put
to Madame Thomas.
' "Madame Melba?" exclaimed- Ma
dame Thomas "she was a friend whoBe
memory Is sweet to recall. She was
very kind to me after hearing my
singers, she said: 'They are magnifi
cent, they are perfectly splendid! And
you may tell folks that I said so.' "
"How do you like our America?
was then asked.
"Oh, I love you Americans, you- are
bo big and free and make us so wel
come. Your scenery Is magnificent,
your cities are beautiful, and your
wonders are many, but when I sing I
gee my hills and mountains around
by little Welsh country, and when I
play for you, It Is of them that I am
pUying. My country Is a small coun
try, but it has been sung by bards of
old. Wordsworth loved to visit there
and he wrote much of the beautle
my home land. Oh," and Madame
' Thomas' eyes brightened, "I wish I
might lake you back with me to visit
with my people, to see them in then
quaint costumeB of bright striped mus
lins with an over drees of bright silk,
or an apron of dainty design. The glrU
tire beautiful in these picturesque cos
tumeB and Bhoes with large buckles
and a tall hat of beaver under which
la worn a neat muslin cap."
"Do you all wear these costumes "
' "No, only the fishermen's wives and
daughters wear them now. It is a
pretty sight to go where these girls
are selling their fish and hear them
ing Instead of call their fish for sal.
You see all Wales sing. Every hamlet
and vllluge has its choral society and
all the people are taught to sing the
best things. They know the operas
and the oratorios. These are . the
tunes whistled by the school boy as
he oomes and goes through the streets.
The nation as a whole encourages
music among Its people and so each
year there Is given an annual national
, festlvl which is called 'Eisteddfod.' -
"And do you know personally, David
Lloyd-George, the great English pre
mier?" "Oh, yes, he has a home on the
' north coast of Wales and lives there
' amid the ruins of an old Norman cas
tle, whose tragedies and romances
must have had much to do with the
preparation of his great mind for its
work in tne wona or men ana iih.
He is a great lover of music and many
times he and Mrs. ueorge nave non
ored me and my singers by attending
i' our concerts. He said: 'Your Welsh
folk-songs are a delight.' "
Madame Hughes-Thomas Is pleasing
and graolous. She is much loved by
the members of her company, and
although she has been paid homage
by royalty she Isn't the least bit snob
bish, but, on the contrary Is very
democratic, for as the Interview ended
the turned to her Bultcase and said:
'Come on little traveling companion,
I'll have to carry you to the hotel. Oh,

Winifree, they tell' has shouted vile
names at his wife at all hours of the
night, and in broad daylight he has
dragged her into the yard by hur
hair, while she screamed and fought.
Both have been at fault, they say.
Mra. Winifree took her children
when she ran away, apparently in
tending to go to Oregon City and at
tempt to get a divorce and obtain
custody of them. '
Winifree works at a lumber mill
near Sandy. He swears he will find
his wife and bring the children back.
The Winifree cSse aroused much
attention at the time it first came
up. Mrs. Winifree had been employ
ed temporarily at the Aurora State
bank. The piles of crinkly bills and
yellow gold tempted her daily. She
wanted to get her children, who had
been given into their father's cus
tody by the divorce court's order.
Finally she took $6500, and came
to Portland. She showed the money
to her divorced husband. They de
cided to buy a little farm near Bull
Run. They made a payment of $1,
600, and most of the remainder of
the money was burled In the ground
near their house.
But Mrs. Winifree was suspected
and Burns operatives finally took
her into custody. She confessed and
the money was recovered. Because of
her mother love and desire to return
to her husband, the bank directors
decided not to prosecute.
A few weeks later the Winifreeg ap
peared in court here, saying they
had made up their differences. The
Judge remarried 'them, and they
went to Sandy to live. Neighbors
