Made- In-America
Baritone to
Sing Here
In musical profession, Arthur Mid
dleton. the American bass-baritone,
is known as one of the most reliable
and musicianly of singers. It was
Campanini, the Rrcat conductor of the
Metropolitan Opera company. who
characterized Middlcton as the "sing
er with a rhythm in his voice." a
characterization that is subscribed
to by all of the conductors with
whom he has appeared. "When
'Midd' is around, we do not have
to worry about the baritone1 role,"
was another famous conductor's trib
ute to the American singer's thor
ourIi musicianship.
Aside from being one of Amer
ica's preatest singers, he is also
thorouphlv experienced in orches
tral and choral conducting, and not
only does he know more than 40
oratorios from memory, but is also
thoroughly famit;ar with their in
strumentation Hence, the remark
able record of this artist of never
using a score for his enormous ora
torio repertoire
Arthur Middlcton is generally
known in the east as the "made in
America" baritone of the Metro
politan Opera company, so called be
cause he has received all of his musi
cal training in the U. S. A. He is
also proud of the fact that he has
never had a lesson in Europe and he
offers this as an example of what the
American student of voice can ac
complish in our own country with
our own teachers. Mr. Middleton is
known for his rich vibrant tone,
clear enunciation and rare interpre
tative power, also, for his remark
able range which drops from bari
tone to bass and glides easily, but
surely and swiftly to tenor as the
music lures.
Arthur Middleton, though well
known to a great many of Omaha
music lovers, has never appeared here
in public concert. He is one of the
artists to appear in concert in the
series to he given by the Omaha

Request Woman on
Disarmament
Conference f
The appointment of a woman on
the armament conference, and of
women on advisory committees
which may be formed, will be re
quested by a delegation from the
National League of Women Voters,
which has asked President Harding
for an opportunity to present a res
olution adopted by. the executive
board at its meeting in July.
The National League of Women
Voters, which was the first national
women's organization to take official
action on reduction of armament,
followed this by adopting a resolu
tion asking that the president
"recognize women as an integral
part of government and a contribu
ting power for the betterment of hu
manity by the appointment of
(women on all boards and commis
sions dealing with or invetigation of
international relations."
A committee on the reduction of
armament by international agree
ment was created, with Miss Eliza
beth Hauser as its chairman. The
committee has not only organized
branches throughout the United
States, but has secured the co-operation
of leading women all over the
world for reduction of armament.
Those appointed on the delegation
to visit President Harding are Mrs.
Maud Wood Park, president of the
National League of Women Voters:
Mrs. Richard Edwards, vice presi
dent; Mrs. Sumner 1. McKnight,
treasurer; Mrs. GifTord Pinchot and
Mrs. Charles Sumner Bird, members
of the committee on the reduction
of armament ci the National League
of women Voters.
Mrs. McKnight, who is national
treasurer for the league, has recently
returned from a trip abroad, where
she went to study the economic con
ditions of Europe. Her training in
philanthropic and welfare work here
and her first-hand information of
conditions in Europe make her par
ticularly valuable as a member of the
delegation.

Washington, Aug. 27.
A general exodus from Washing
ton took place yesterday and today.
For a week or so the city will be like
a village on Sunday. Then the resi
dential vacationists will be returning
and even many of the official sets
will be opening their house
and apartments, placing the children
m school or searching lor quarters
for the winter. This will be equally
as difficult as it was in the early war
days tor the all-absorbing housing
topic from now until the middle of
November revolves around the dis
armament conference which actually
begins on November 11, but which
will seem to begin the first of Sep
tember, so far as preparations are
concerned. .
Housing Delegates a Problem.
The chief delegates of the British
party have already asked for the ex
clusive use of four hotels, and as the
Chinese and Japanese delegations
are quite as large as Great Britain's,
it would appear that there are not
enough hotels to accommodate just
three delegations. What the other
delegates and visitors will do is a
problem. With 5,000 delegates to be
housed and seated in the convention
hall, there is little chance for com
fort for visitors, and not much en
couragement that any but delegates
will gain admission to the sessions.
The officers of the various wom
en's clubs of Washington arc taking
action towards the housing of the
possible women visitors m Novem
ber in connection with the interna
tional conference. The Woman's
City club, of which Judge Mollie
O'Toole, first woman judge of the
municipal court of the District of
Columbia was the founder and the
first president; the Woman's Nation
al Foundation, of which Mrs. C C.
Calhoun is president; the Woman's
Party, the League of Women Vot
ers and the PantWomen's league, all
have begun preparations to do their
share towards taking care of the vis
iting women. Many of them will be
writers.
Republican Women Busy.
The republican women are very
busy about here. Mrs. Harriet Tay
lor Upton of Ohio, vice chairman of
the executive committee of the na
tional republican committee, made
an address before the Montgomery
County Republican Women's club in
Takoma park on Tuesday evening,
when she was assisted by Mrs. Ed
ward L. Stock, vice president of th
club, also from Ohio, who gave a
short talk. Mrs. Upton, who has re
peatedly been spoken of for the first
cabinet post to be given to a
woman, returned here Tuesday
morning from a week-end visit to
Mr. and Mrs. Gifford Pinchot at
their home in Milford county, Penn
sylvania. Senator and Mrs. Irvin L.
Lenroot and Miss Lenroot also were
in the party.
President's Sister Arrives.
Miss Abigail Harding, sister of the
president, arrived at the White
House Saturday morning, just in
time to go with the week-end party
on the Mayflower, the first cruise
she has had with her distinguished
brother. Miss Harding, who is
known to her intimates as "Daisy"
Harding, is a very stunning woman,
handsome, well-groomed, distinctly
well-bred and with a brilliant mind.
She resembles her brother in many
ways and is a college-bred woman.
She has made many friends and ad
mirers m Washington during her
short visits here.
The second one of four bachelors
most prominent in Washington so
ciety to marry this summer, George
Oakley Tottcn, jr., was married on
Monday afternoon ' in his distinctive
studioJiouse to a beautiful young
widow, Mrs. Vickcn Von Tost, who
has earned some fame as a sculptress.
The first one of the four to become
a benedict was William Eric Fow
ler, who was married a month ago in
California to Mrs. Edward Earl of
Los Angeles. This leaves yet John
Barrett, former director general of
the Pan-American union, and Col.
William E. Horton, an officer with a
brilliant record in the army as well
as in society here.
Representative and Mrs. Robert
E. Evans and Miss Anna Evans made
a recent visit to Sherwood Forest, a
charming summer resort on the Sev
ern river, near Annapolis. It is a
club community. They were guests
of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Heisse.
They have made no plans for getting
away now, as all plans of everybody
in the congressional circle have been
upset so many times.
Mrs. Harry A. Williams, jr., ar
rived Thursday morning to visit Mrs.
Polly Low for a few days. She was
entertained informally by Mrs.
Fraser Edwards and Miss Katherine
May Kearney. When she returned
to her home on Jamestown boule
vard, Larchmont, a suburb of Nor
folk, she will have with her Miss
Low, who will make her a visit of
several weeks. Mr. and Mrs. Wil
liams have spent a fortnight at the
White Sulphur, where they went by
motor. Mr. Williams will remain
there until the first of September.
Clements-Renswold.
The marriage of Miss Hattie
Renswold of Alliance, Neb., to S. L.
Clements of Elmwood, Neb., took
place on Monday morning, August
15, at 114 bleventh street, northeast,
Rev. Dr. Dawson of Trinity Meth
odist Episcopal church officiating, in
the presence of a small company of
intimate friends. Miss Lenore Doug
las played the wedding marches and
Miss May. Graham sang several
solos just before the ceremony. The
bride wore her' traveling costume
and after a buffet breakfast the bride
and bridegroom left for a visit to
New York and the seashore. They
will go later to Elmwood, which will
be their future home.
"Lincoln" Dinner.
Norman Strong Nyce, son of Rev.
Mr. and Mrs. Benjamin M. Nyce of
Lincoln, Neb., is expected to stop
for a few days with relatives here
next month, when he pomes east to
return to his studies at Princeton.
He is now with his parents and his
grandmother, Mrs. N. H. Strong,
formerly of Shelbyville, Ind., in a
cottage at Estes Park, which they
have taken for the summer. Rev.
Dr. Nyce and his family are leaving
there on the evening cf September 1
for home, as he expects to be in his
pulpit in the First Presbyterian
church of Lincoln on Sunday, the
4th. They had an interesting "Lin
coln" dinner and musicale last week
in the beautiful studio of Mr. and
Mrs. Rosborough, on the mountain
side, at Estes Park. The Rosbor
ouglis have a remarkably picturesque
studio cottage, high up on the moun
tain, where they have their two
grand pianos, and keep up their
music and their study throughout
the summer. Mrs. Nyce and her
son, Norman, will make the return
trip home by automobile, as they
made it going out, but Dr. Nyce and
Mrs. Strong will make the trip by
rail.

Women's Hosiery
Defined
A Seamless Stocking
Is made on a machine that starts at the
toe and completes a round tube that is
afterward pressed into the shape of a
stocking.
A Semi-Fashioned Stocking
Most of them are only so-called. They
are the same stockings described above
with a thread applied by machine down
the back to look like a scam.
A Full-Fashioned Stocking
Is knit flat. When the two edges are
joined together by a flat seam it be
comes naturally the shape of a woman's
foot and leg. This is the only stocking
that can be permanently shapely.
Much Confusion Exists
