MADAME GA03KI. "The voices of American women are Improving every year," declared Mme. Gadski, when starting out on a tour which is to bring her here October twentieth. "Among all aspirants for the concert stage, however, the percentage of truly good voices is naturally small. Sometimes out of a dozen I hear there will be two or three that give promise, but usually the percentage is smaller, American girls lack patience; they expect to achieve fam before they are ready to appear ln-pub-. lie at all. At my home in Stettin 1 spent nine years learning to place my voice, and even then I worked gradually from part to part. But the American girl likes to tape up some 'method' that promises quick results. "There are no French or. Italian or German methods of learning to sins. There is only one method; find your voice; then practice, practice, practice for days and " months and years. Then, if you have the soul and love your art,1 you will make a singer" Mme. Gadski first came to this country with Walter Damrosch, the present leader of the ISew York Symphony orchestra, then . director of the Dam-rosch-Ellls Opera company. Later she won success with Maurice Grau. of t.je Metropolitan Opera House. Of Grau, the prima donna was a great admirer. The prima donna's engagements at the Metropolitan Opera House this season to sing her great Wagnerian roles make her available for only a limite-i period for concert work, and local mu-sic-lovers may therefore consider themselves especially favored. j ;.

Fashions and Fads Heavy corded moire Is a material that will be much seen this fall. Spotted foulard is being used for the linings of motor coats. New models are expected to show all kinds of plaltings and shirrings. Bengaline and moire promise to be great favorites in the winter costuming. The lengthening of the waist is now definite and an accepted edict of fashion. An innovation of the season is the use of mousseline niching to finish silk gowns. Gloves of the- winter are to be in black, tan, white and gray and no other colors. The reappearance of the flounced dress is one of the novelties of the moment. Foulards will figure generously in the making of fall and winter house dresses. , Cloaks of the moment are very much on the same lines as those of fifty years ago. Very attractive house dresses for morning wear are made from the bordered gingham. Trimmings of sable blackness are again to figure conspicuously on nearly everything. Huge cut jet barrettes are being worn and are particularly effective upon blonds heads. Some of the huge, turban-shaDed hats of soft material are studded with jewels or with jet. The latest sleeve for tailormades is small and close, with no apparent full ness at the top. Where every day suits are in nlain color, navy blue and brown seal will be popular shades. AH kinds of eighteenth century gear Is to be in vogue this winter if Paris predicts aright. Handbags and belts of finely woven white twine are the newest accessories of the white costume. With a white-embroidered muslin robe a hint of color is effective, and green is a favorite choice. Black bearded velvet wheat in sheaf3 is the newest trimming on hats for middle-aged and elderly ladies. v A headgear feature is the jeweled embroidered cap. arranged with a large eccentric feather at the side. Hollow gold balls that slip on and

over the diamond earrings are used by 1

many women in traveling, as they are j very handsome and are a great protection when the diamonds would be too temptingly conspicuous. Silk- serge and some of the heavier ottoman weaves in silk are to be made up In dressy fall street costumes. Even full dress costumes are to clear the ground if the latest edict of Paris, abolishing all trains, is obeyed. Silk lace has returned to favor, and in the different blonde laces and in mechlin many exquisite costumes are made up. Among the coats that are practical as well as beautiful, those of heavily ribbed and knotted shantung silk are noticeable. Established tones of colors to be worn this season are maize, cerise, blue, line green, linden green and king's purple. Many of the new silks incline to dull effects rather than to brilliant sheen, but the latter will be by no means abolished. The fall coat will almost certainly be very long, so long, in fact, that not over two inches of the skirt will be left in view. Among the new shades is one called linden. It is really a creamy, yellow green. It is particularly beautiful in shimmering stuffs. It is predicted that the Louis XVI tri-corn, or three-cornered hat, is coming back this winter, with its luxurious mass of feathers. Satin fabrics will undoubtedly figure very prominently in fall and winter wear, as they combine excellently well with the favorite nets. Among dress accessories, the hoods and scarfs, the latter of Spanish lace, with long fringe across the ends, are the smartest novelties. "CHOSEN PEOPLE" HOT AHHE POLE Absence of "Ten Tribes" Is a Crushing Blow to Mormonism. WAS THOUGHT MANY THERE DISCOVERIES MADE BY DR. COOK AND COMMANDER PEARY NONPLUSES THE CHIEF REVELATOR OF THE CHURCH. Salt Lake City, Utah, Sept 20. Mor monism in Utah got a severe jolt when the announcement was made by Dr Cook and Commander Peary that the north pole country had been discover ed and found to be nothing more than a bleak desert of ice. Since the beginning of Mormonism the followers have clung to the theory of the land about the pole being occu pied by the descendants of the ten tribes of Israel who left Palestine a few centuries before Christ and travel ed in a northerly direction for a year and a half. Through a series of remarkable discoveries and revelations the Mormons claimed to have located the descend ants of the ten tribes at the north pole, which must surely have been their stopping place if they traveled north from Palestine for a year and a half. Believed Millions Were There. To confirm the theory that the de scendants, probably many millions m number, were in the north pole coun try, the books of Isaiah and Jeremiaa were referred to by the Mormon elders and missionaries. In these books many references are made to the Lord's people of the north and how they would be "brought down from the north." Josephus, the Jewish historian, is sponsor for the statement that the ten tribes went north a year and a half. Through revelations and inspirations the Mormons drafted the story of the descendants being co-favorites of th Lord with the Mormons. The ten tribes were the chosen peo ple of the Lord In the early days, while the Mormons claim to be the chosen people of the latter days, and for that reason they call themselves Latter Day Saints. A sense of protection always ha been felt by the Mormons in the teachings that in the day when they were in the sorest need of help from the opponents of their religion the north pole tribes would march down to Utah and combine forces with the Mormons. Two Armies of Saints. Led by the Lord, the two armies of saints would be a world power, and all other religions would fall before the progress of "the army of the Lord. With the discovery of the pole and the failure of the discoverers to 'ocate the missing tribes, Mormonism is suffering considerable ridicule from those who often have listened to the Mormon elders staunchly advocating the north pole theory. It is up to the teachers to arrange a new account of the whereabouts of the ten tribes and their descendants. No explanation has been offered yet by the president and chief rerelator of the church. Tns tvitty R Merited It. Edwin, aged three, wbu unwisely fondled his small cat overmuch, appeared before his mother one day. bis little face guiltily aioed and a Mt-ratcb upon his hand.

Affinity Now Hates Earle: Through With Soul Mate Love

New York, Sept. 20. Miss Gertrude Buell Dunn, erstwhile soul mate of Ferdinand rAffinity") Earle, returned home from abroad, employing a ruse to escape unobserved from the liner La Lorraine and hurry to a friend's home, where she will remain in stric; seclusion. On the trip to New York she confided to a few friends" that the platonic sojourn with Earle shattered the ideals which he had pictured to her. and sW said she felt nothing so much as contempt for him. It was 9:30 o'clock last night when La Lorraine, from Havre, reached is pier. Miss Dunn made the trip ,inder the name of Mme. Buell. She accompanied by a friend Mme. Mrzxonavichar. and the latter's little son. Will Not Admit Identity. The two women went down the gr;r. plank together and Mme. Mazzonavichar started off to look after their baggage.

CUfrD LIKELY TO WIN. Countess of Granard to Romovo Opposition to Elkino-Abruzzi Match. The Countess of Granard. who was Miss Beatrice Mills of New York and is the niece of Ambassador Whitelaw Held, has duriug her married life in Eugland made au euriable reputation for herself as a witty conversationalist and a successful hostess. King Edward recently was the guest of the Earl and Countess of Granard at their splendid estate, and during this visit the Americun countess invoked his aid in behalf of her friend Miss Katberiue Elklns toward removing the opposition of the dowager . queen of Italy to the marriage of Miss EI kins and her grandson, the Duke of the Abruzzl. As everybody knows, the Duke of the Abruzzl. who has proved himself a man by braving in turn the anows of the arctic aqd of the Himalayas' loftiest peaks, is ready to renounce all claims to the throne of Italy if only he wins his American affinity. Lndy Granard friends say, too. that as soon as tbe duke returns from Indiaand be is on bis way he. Miss Elklns and her mother will meet at COCNTXSS OF OkAXABXk. Mortimer House, tbe splendid residence on Hatkin street which the Earl of Granard recently leased. They add that Mrs. Elklns and Miss Elkius are about to go from Bad Nauhelm, in Hesse, to Marienbad. in Bohemia, for tbe sole purpose of being introduced formally to tbe king. He is at Marienbad for the "cure. as usual each year. When Mrs. Elklns and Miss Katherine Elklns went abroad last June the young lady's father, a senator from West Virginia, announced that sbe bad "a slight affection of tbe heart" and was going with her mother to one or another of tbe European spas to take tbe waters. Miss Elkins. a lovely and determined girl, seems to be able to brave the frosts and to climb the mountains of Queen Margberlta's opposition. Meantime. It is rerted from India, the Duke of the Abruzzl has scaled the highest peak In the Himalayas.

Mazzonavichar led Miss Dunn from the plsr and was heard to direct the coachir.na to drive the young woman to the Mar tha Washington hotel. Miss Dunn is quoted as saying 'o one of the passengers: 'I am through with Mr. Earle foro er. I believe I must have been Lynotized into believing in his theories.

Hugh Cains, tbe Boston sculptor, declares that women's figures bars been ruined by devotion to fashion. He says It Is Impossible for a woman to be wasp walsted one year and free laced tbe next and still preserve artistic lines. He points out that a year or so ago women were pinching their waists and that at present frocks bang loose with hardly a suggestion of a waist line. Cains certainly hits the truth when he says tbe fashions this summer are In execrable taste. . Slim women are made to look like toothpicks and plump women can't, and. true to tbe 'contrariness of the sex. It Is the woman of comfortable avoirdupois who pushes tbe fashions to the extreme. Thus every woman above the normal weight for her height could gain in proportion by breaking her waist with a belt, bat Invariably they run straight np and down, thereby accentuating the fullness, which secretly, of course, they hate like poison. Tbe failure in this respect of women to make the most of themselves forces the impression that tbv sex contains few artists. French View of Women.
