War May Shift the
Opera Singers from
Europe Over Here
Mm. Julia Clatissen, soloist for the
Mendelssohn choir concert, which will be
given at Boyd's theater this evening, has
definite and rather fresh ideas about the
war.
The world of opera will feel the effect
of the European war for a generation
atter the conflict Is ended," she says.
"How many Carusos are lylna: dead on
the battlefields, their voices unheard by
the world? How many Linda and Nordl-
cas will be orphaned by the struggle,
probably left to die of starvation or ex
posure, or at leaat be driven into toll
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 the ranks of the dead at Gettys
burg, and we would not today be using
his eleotrlo lights, his telephones, his
phonograph. There is no doubt, but that
many Ed I sons and other potential geni
uses were lost to the world In that
struggle." , ,
"The same thing la happening in Europe
today. The whole world will feel the
loas. America will to a certain extent
profit. Prospects are that the great sing
ers of the next generation will be Amer
icans. Militarism will not have cut
through the ranks of the Uvlng, depriv
ing the country of voices that It may
have taken generations to perfect."
Commercial Club
Loses Its Pianist
Selby Gets Mumps
Tragedy hath befallen the good fellow
ship dinner to be held Thursday evening
at t.U at the Commercial club.
The pianlat hath the mump.
Frank Selby Is the man who was to
do the stunts on the ivories as one fea
ture of the evening's program. Now
that he la ill, the committee will scratah
hard for a man to take his place and'
serve the purpose as well.
Mr. Selby Is said to be quite ill with
thla affliction.
"Indoor outing" Is one paradoxical
characterisation given to the fellowship
dinner by the flaming red posters that
are going out. "A real show by Com
mercial club men," is another way it la
i haraxterlaed. Mtore actors have been en
listed in the troupe then there are
privates In Villa's army, according to
the authorities. '
An efficient guard will be stationed in
the building that night to keep out all
orators. In other words, orators will
I not be allowed above the second floor
and the dinner Is on the eighteenth floor.

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 th 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.
All the adjectives in debater una
bridged fall short of describing the beau
ties of the gowns themselves! Tier upon
tier of sheer, delicate chiffons nnd creoos
cunningly combined with filmy laces and
given a brilliant dash by tlie addition of
shimmering gold and silver lace, or gold
and silver beads, sll these are lntrtduoed
to make up a work of art that Inspires
exclametlon of de.lj ht from sll the fair
ones who gae thereupon.
American Styles.
And here Is the bmt punt of all. The
gowns represent AniriK'an styles created
by American designers and executed !'
American artists! "franco needn't exist
as a faslilon center any more so far in
we are concerned," declarea Mr. Dan
forth, In charge of thla department. "Tills
season has amply demonstrated that
America can produce und execute styles
as beautiful and as Individual as anything
ever brought over from Parle."
With whirh statement any woman who
gases upon these wonderful creations and
appreciate their beauty will readily
agree.
Frllla and Flehaa.
The Introduction of handwork, appllqued
gold and silver bead 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 la.e
blouses rival the ever-popular Georgette
crepes In milady's favor, the cape collar
of lace being the distinguishing feature
of th new blouses. The detachable bishop
collar and a new three-rufflo collar with
corresponding three-ruffle cuff Is dis
tinctly smart, while the eternally feminine
frills and fichus are shown on all the
latest models.
Nor have the little misses been forgotten
this spring. Dainty hand embroidered
frocks and dresses In all the newest
spring shades combined with fascinating
colored aashes and darling little bonnets
making up attractive get-upa for ttw
kiddles.
In dress accessories, the Imagination
runs riot. Parasols in brilliant shades,
hand embroidered and otherwise festocT
ed, daring hosiery and many-toned boots
and pumps; gloves, handkerchiefs, any
thing to fill milady's wants the newest
and prettiest of all are on display here
in fact the whole establishment Is Join
ing In the spring fashion show.
Catholio Women
Do Most Good, Says
Father Wallace

"The Social Life of Catholic Women In
the United State."

Catholic women do more and they do it
quietly."
Seventy thousand Catholic women in the
United States have dedicated their live
to the service of humanity, Father. Wal
lace told his hearers. In speaking of the
nuns and sisters. In addition to these
women, he explained, there were others,
not In orders, who were working in every
pariah of the country.
Father Wallace further went Into the
work of the investigation of charitable
institutions now in progress In New York
and he said that Dr. Bernstein, who hss
been working against Catholio institu
tions, had to admit on the witness stand
that the Catholic religious workers were
tha most consistent, th most perserver
Init and that they did th most good.
A musical program was given In which
the quartet of the Creighton Glee club
gave many enjoyable numbers. Mr. Ger
ald La Violette's recitations were heartily

ASKS THAT TRINITY
BE A FREE CHURCH
Dean Tancock Makes TM Appeal
oa Fifth Anniversary of His
Pastorate at Cathedral.
REVIEWS WORK IN THIS TIME
Desn Tancock In bis sermon Sunday
aked thet Trinity cathedral be mad a
free church.
"It Is. a free church." he said, "to sll
Intents snd rurpoaes. and I am sure that
no one ever knocked at a pew door In
thla cathedral wlthoit; finding a gracious
and hospitable 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
torate. Reviewing the material accom
plishments of these year 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 tH.OOO 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 revenuea of the church
$3 000. 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 JSO.oOO."
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 lives of the people. He appealed for
a (3,000 Easter offering.
