AMERICAN SINGERS
DOING BETTER WORK
Expiration of Copyright on
Wagner Music Giving
Them Opportunities.

Miss Adelaide Norwood. the prima
donna soprano. who is to sing the role
of Cho-Cho-San In the gorgeous produe-
ton the grand opera triumph, Madam
Butterfly" in this city this week, tells
OLA chance for American girls.
She says; The American girl is

Norwood has recently returned from

the conditions existing there in musical
circles. also as a prophecy which is of
interest to American singers THE
American girl is going to shine in the
brig musical circles of the Old World. -
The copyright en- the Wagner. music
dramas expires shortly, and all of the
leading opera directors are arranging
to produce Wagners works exclusively
for an indefinite period.
Where are they going to get their
singers2 OF course, some of them will
be Germans. and other foreigners, other.

been studying Wagnerian repertoire stu
diously for the past eigh teen or twenty
years. They have made many sacrifices
to do so. and now they win come fully

ONEPiECE IDEA NOW
POPULAR IN GOWNS
Women's Cothes More and
More Are Made in
This Style.

How quickly we snatch any new idea
and apply it to as many garments as
we possibly can, whether for young or
Old.
There was first khe one-piece gar
ments-the one-plece frock, the one
piece apron. the one-piece corset cover.
and so on-untii YOU could mention al
most every garment a woman wears.
from her topcoat to her undervest, as
being made in one piece.
The idea of combinations andN har-
monies carried itself into the color field.
At first madame was satisded~to have a
tiny ruffle OF colored embroidery adorn
Ing her wafs-- Then she used heavier
and more attractive qualities of the COL
cred trimming. at times including a tie.
Soon after she began 10 have her no
siery embroidered in eolors to match
her costume.
And, as If il were not enough for
women to carry out this color scheme
for themselves, they planned for their
children the wearing OF stockings TO
match their ribbon accessories.
The men, feeling they are forced to
follow the fashions of Eomen as closely
as possible, now have me general color
scheme carried out in tneir socks, neck
ties, and. possibly a delicate touch OF
color in their shirts

STRAWBERRIES REACH HERE
NOW IN VERY GOOD
CONDITION.

Dealers, as well as consumers. are
getting a great deal of satisfaction out
OF the strawberry season this year. One
factor-the quality Of the berry-is re-
sponsible for it. This makes Il possible
for ths fruit to reach the market in
good condition. and to be almost i'm
mediately disposed OF.
At the beginning of the season a few
shipments showed poor quality. and,
as result, the price Of the fruit was
reduced and IL met with very little
demand. With the ushering in Of the
season on Carolina berries, however,
quality showed a great deal of i'm
provement. and 1t is practically certain
that the same will be true Of Tennessee
shipments.
The present price on strawberries may
be still further reduced. but II viii be
because of an unusually heavy supply
of the fruit. in (which quality will De
OF such high order that the season
viewed from every standpoint will be
one OF the est in years.

Aside from the great practical good IL
is doing-in the way Of furnishing val
liable hints for the woman who wants
10 make her home more bright and
cheerful-the contest has served to show
that many Of the housewives of Wash
ington and vicinity, who read The
Times. have a weli-dehned sense of
humor.
No day passes but what the editor OF
the wOmans page does not receive some
contribution that causes everybody who
reads II 10 smile broadly and audibly,
as witness the woman who suggested
that the best way TO keep cool IN the
sumner was to sit IN the shade with
your feet in tie wafer, sing From
Greenlands Icy Mountains" while some
body else does the work.
The interest In the contest is not lag
ging and the hints which are being re-
celveo daily show that there are many
womel among the readers Of The Times
who think seriously on the problems Of
The home.
Below are some Of the valuable hints
for this weeks contest
