GLOVES
WERE WORN

When our ancestors threw down a
glove it was equivalent to challenge
to single combat, and the person thus
defied signified his acceptance of the
challenge by taking up the glove and
casting down his own-which cere-
mony was regarded as mutual COM
pact to meet at the time and place
specified to fight
In the 14th century they were in COM
mon use among the better classes and
today they are in common use by
most every one.
Best among gloves worn at the pres
ent time are those made by the Carson
Glove Company and are worn by all
who discriminate in the selection of
anything to wear-the name Carson on
a glove means perfect glove, and they
are sold where all good gloves are sold

NORDICA FAREWELL

Many Encores Are Demanded
by Admirers of the Great
Artist
By Walter Anthony

One of the agreatest Wagnerian sing
ers in the world proves to be one OF
greatest song interpreters In Nine.
Nordica's art the opposite poles of
Wagner and OF Franz cease to have
geographical location. They are one
Nine. Nordica sings the strophe song,
or the opera aria, or the art song,
with equal ease and brings to what
ever variety Of music she gives an al
most ciairvoyant genius to discern
esOteric truths and find hidden beau
ties. Yesterdays farewell matinee was
given over, however, almost entirely
10 what the Germans style "Durchcom-
monirtes Lied" wherein the music of
melody and harmony fits close to each
verse of the poem, and wherein Nine.
Nordiea indicated every changing mood
and turning thought by voice and pose
and facial play
IN BETTER VOICE
She was in better voice yesterday
than she was week ago, and her
audience was wrought up to the en-
thusiasm of demanding unreasonable
things OF her. She had to respond to
innumerable encoreS-some of them
better even than her listed offerings.
For instance. Schumann's 'ich grolle
nicht' was given an almost new mean
ing as she sang it, after Schumann's
Der Nussbaum'' had been demanded
twice. The passionate and tragic
poem was made mocking. sardonic and
wickedly cruel by an Interpretation
fateful song. She made the shudders
come with the words about the ser
pent around the heart of the faith
less one. Cornelius gem '.Mein
Freund ist Men, was another won
derfui lyric offering with its exulting
finish, and Robert Franz song,
''Stille Sicherkeit," was deeply moving
and musical. Indeed enumeration
would demonstrate that everything
save, perhaps. the last, was queenly
music. At the last, however-the
Schubert Die Almacht''-an organ
wearied with incessant recalls and
terribly taxing program showed signs
of wear and lacked the big import of
Schuberts rather bombastic sacred
song.
AUDIENCE 10TH TO LEAVE
OF special interest was her singing
of the Henschel song. There Was an
Ancient King" which setting is on
the same poem that Grieg has graced
with a melody. The audience was
10th to leave after the last number
was over.
Mr.. Hastings. the barytone, was
given almost as hearty a welcome as
the prima donna. His voice has been
described by me before. It is white
and poorly placed. and he shoulders it
forth with great muscular activity. 1t
has excellent quality, and God has
been better TO him than his teachers.
BE viii not sing long if he does not
cease TO abuse a naturally beautiful
tone. OF artistic repose and repres-
sion there is none; of temperament
there is plenty. Injudicious applause
IS doing him injury. Miss Showers
played prettily and was also encored
warmly after a rather girlish rendi-
ton Of a Liszt rhapsody.
