and conflicting occurred in a recent pub
lication OF a local paper. Katie V. VIII
son. the well-known Washington vocal
teacher. will bring Nine. Lillian Nordica
here for a recital Tuesday afternoon at
the National Theatre. and in the advance
notices OF the concert sent to the paper
a photograph OF Miss Wilson was en-
closed. The friends OF the latter. in look
ing over the paper. were much ast0nished
to see a splendid likeness Of Miss Wilson
in the centre Of the page, while under
meath appeared in big letters the words
Mime. Lillian Nordisa." Miss Wilson is
so well known here that her picture was
readily recognized. and no one was more
surprised and disturbed over the incident
than Miss Wilson herself Typographical
errors are frequent and unexplainable. and
those who saw the one involving Miss
Wilson regarded !t as an occurrence for
which she was in no way responsible.
