War May Shift the
Opera Singers from
Europe Over Here
Mm. Julia Claussen, soloist for tha
Mendelssohn choir concert, which will be
given at Boyd's theater this evening, haa
definite and rather fresh ideas about the
war.
The world of opera will feel tha effect
of tha European war for a generation
after tha conflict is ended," she aaya.
How many Carusos are lying dead on
the battlefields, their voices unheard by
tha world 7 How many Linda and Nordl-
cas will be orphaned by tha struggle.
probably left to die of starvation or ex
posure, or at least b. driven into toil
which will forever obscure their vocal
possibilities from the world." '
"For example," she says, "If your civil
war in America had come a few years
later, your great genius, Thomas A. Edi
son, might have been among the youthful
slain in tha ranks of tha dead at Gettys
burg, and wa would not today be using
his electric lights, his telephones, his
phonograph. There ia no doubt, but that
many Edisons and other potential geni
uses were lost to tha world in that
struggle." ,
"The same thing is happening in Europe
today. The whole world will feel the
loss. America wlU to a certain extent
profit. Prospects are that tha great sing
era of the next generation will be Amer
icans. Militarism will not have cut
through tha ranks of tha living, depriv
ing the country of voices that It may
have taken generations to perfect."

AMERICA CREATES
STYLES FOR ITSELF
Spring Opening Shows that Country
is No Longer Dependent .
Upon Gay Paris.
BLOUSES OF FILMIEST LACE
Spring, fresh, verdant and color
ful, is the keynote of the decora
tions carried out in the spring fash
ion opening at the Brandels stores.
A profusion of apple blossoms, pink
and red roses and luxuriant foliage,
transforms the display windows and
the entire store Into a garden or
woodland, while real canary birds
and white Java sparrows In highly
ornamental Swiss cages, give Just
the proper- touch of "atmosphere"
to the whole ensemble.
AH the adjectives In Webster's una
bridged fall short ot describing the beau
ties of the gowns themselves! Tier upon
tier of sheer, delicate chiffons end credos
cunningly combined with filmy laces and
given a brllllont dash by the addition of
shimmering gold and sliver lace, or gold
and silver beads, all these are Intrrduced
to make up a work of art that inspires
exclsmatlons of fle.lf ht from all the fair
ones who gase thereupon.
American Stylea.
And here Ih the bfnt punt of all. Thf
gowns represent Anirilcan stylea created
by American designers and executed -y
American artists: "France needn't exist
aa a fashion center any more so fsr
we are concerned," declares Mr. Dan
forth, In charge of this department. "Tula
season has amply demonstrated that
America can produce and execute styles
as beautiful and aa Individual as anything
ever brought over from Paris."
With which statement any woman who
gases upon these wonderful creations and
appreciates their beauty will readily
agree.
Frllla and Flehae.
The Introduction of handwork, appllqued
gold and silver beads on the taffeta. Is a
feature of the spring suits, the same be
ing true of the newest In blouses. Dainty,
alluring, yes, even seductive are the
blouses on exhibition. The filmiest of lace
blouses rival the ever-popular Georgette
crepea In milady's favor, the cape collar
of lace being the distinguishing feature
of the new b" uses. The detachable bishop
collar and a jew three-rufflo collar with
corresponding three-ruffle cuff is dis
tinctly smart, while the eternally feminine
frllla and fichus are shown on all tha
latest models.
Nor have the little misses been forgotten
this spring. Dainty hand embroidered
frocks and dresses in all tha newest
spring shades combined with fascinating
oolored aashes and darling little bonnets
making up attractive get-ups for th-s
kiddles.
In dress accessories, the imagination
runs riot. Parasols in brilliant shades,
hand embroidered and otherwise festoon
ed, daring hosiery and many-toned boots
and pumps; gloves, handkerchiefs, any
thing to fill milady's wants the neweat
and prettiest of all are on display here.
In fact the whole establishment ia join
ing in the spring fashion show.

ASKS THAT TRINITY
BE A FREE CHURCH
Dean Tancock Makes TMs Appeal
on Fifth Anniversary of Hii
Pastorate at Cathedral.
REVIEWS WORK IN THIS TIME
Dean Tancock In bis sermon Sunday
aked thft Trinity cathedral be made a
free church.
"It Is. a free church." he said, "to all
Intents anil purposes, and I am sure that
no one ever knocked at a pew door In
this cathedral without finding a gracious
and hoapltable Invitation to come In, but
we want to place this church on record
as approving the principle of the free
church."
It was the fifth anniversary of his pas
torste. Reviewing the material accom
plishments of these years he said:
"The first element of success came in
the second year of my ministry when we
set before us the task of paying off the
debt of 111,000 on the cathedral. The sec
ond factor In the development of the work
has been the Installation of the duplex sys
tem of giving. By this we have not only
Increased the revenues of the church
$3000. but also have been able to meet
our full obligations to the general church.
The third step In our development has
been the creation of an endowment fund,
which now amounts to over $50,000."
He pointed out also that the real In
dications of a church's success Is In
spiritual growth. Increase of communi
cants and a growth in grace found In
the Uvea of the people. He appealed for
a 13,000 Easter offcrihg.
