PARkINA TO A FULL HOUSE
Only Acute Nervousness MARRIED the
Singers Performance.

Kansas City has true affection for
Bessie Parkinson and showed it yes
terday afternoon. 1t was a loyal,
generous audience that filled the
Shubert Theater, generous in its ap-
plause for Mr.. Bush, for the orches-
ira, for the first appearance Of the
singer, for her performance-the
kind of audience the symphony as
ISOLATION should be proud to have
behind it in its second season.
1t was doubtful at the last moment
whether Miss Parkinson would be
able to sing at all. Always of a merry
Gus disposition the ordeal Of facing
her first audience after such long
retirement was almost too much for
her. A slight hitch in the rehearsal
was only the indirect cause of a tenn
porary nervous breakdown. For
one thing her sister, her inseparable
companion on all occasions, was not
with her, and only those who have
learned to trust their whole reserve
power to one particular person I'M
der such circumstances can realize
what she endured through that alb
sence of support. 1t was a slight af-
fair, many singer has lost nerve at
a rehearsal; but it robbed her of her
self assurance, and the audience
could not fail to realize that they were
hearing Parkina at a disadvantage.
But What Voice!
Yet what a voice it is! How many
singers could have done SO we'll with
all the terrors of nervousness at their
elbow? There was no apprcciable
weakness in the organ itself; it filled
the auditorium with pure, mellow
tone, true to pitch, and with that
heartfelt quality that first won her
fame. What she left out-and the
outs were obvious-waS not for lack
of vocal power, but for sheer mis-
trust of her technical fluency. That
is serious matter, of course--un-
pardonable it may seem. And to
evade difficulties frankly invited by
putting the Lucia aria on the pro-

gram would indeed be unforgiveable
if one did not know what a heroic eff
fort OF self-mastery already was to
the credit of the artist. The one I'M
pardonable sin is insincerity, false
ness;of that Parkina cannot be ac-
cused either in voice or spirit. She
gave of her best, all that she could,
and the audience received it with en-
ioyment and like generosity.
The question of Parkina's future
will OF course be in everybody's
mind. AS to that there should be no
doubt with the single reservation that
she labor increasingly to regain her
fluency and with it her confidence.
Probably she took her task too easily
until the last days. Confident in the
sOundncss of her voice, which was
in question until yesterday, but should
be no longer, she did not realize the
unnerving influence OF her long rest.
Her friends in Kansas City will have
faith in her and follow her career
with no less sympathy because she
came before them in the last days of
her passing weakness. *. c. Times.

Courthouse Wears its
First L. S. Flag

Liberty, Mo-, Nov. 4.-For the
first time since the Civil War an
American flag waved to day from the
top of the Courthouse of Clay county,
a center of guerilla warfare in Mis-
souri, and the stamping grounds of
Jesse and Frank James when they
were Confederate soldiers and after
they had become outlawed.
The last flag of its kind, minus
several of the stars on the blue field
which the latest conner carries, was
was put there by Federal troops who
took possession of the Courthouse in
1861 and hauled down from the tower
the Confederate flag placed there by
Mrs, Hall, private in Gen. Ster-
ling Prices devastating brigades.
Strange to say, the starry emblem
which today was raised was put up
in ceremonies presided over by Gen.
John Will Hall, State Commander of
the United Confederate Veterans. The
local &. A. K. chapter influenced the
County Court to order the flags
raising.

A Simple Way to Make Soft Soap

While its use is not general, some
housewives prefer for certain cleansing
purposes to use soft soap, or soap in
paste form, believing it more convenient
or economical than ordinary soap.
Gold Dust washing powder can be
converted into the finest soft soap by
dissolving it in hot water in the pro-
portion of heaping tablespoons of the
powder to each quart of hot water.
When cool, it is ready for use.
Gold Dust works more thoroughly and
quickly than soap or other cleansers.
