planned to wear dress of that hue to
| the inaugural ceremony, but finally de-
cided it was too elaborate for the re-
ception, having been made for. the ball
which was eliminated from the program.
Though the gown was not worn at that
time, the color has become the fad. 1t
| is soft shade, cool looking, and viii
| be beautiful for summer dresses, and
will no doubt be even more popular
three months from now than it is at
present.

Yet another "woozly'' dance is on the
brink of popularity. this new one being
the Hesitation, and it has a name and
a method that appeals more powerfully
to the imagination than any of the
fads that have preceded it. The turkey
trot, the grizzly bear and the bunny
hug are as passei now as two petit
coats on one woman. The Boston and
the tango are with us still, and their
possibilities have been demonstrated
at some local dances All these
steps have been pronounced shock
ing by many good people and by
all people who were too stout to do
them gracefully, but so soon as the
ban is placed on one of them, another
is introduced that more than fills it's
place. Forbidding it has the usual eff
feet on those that go to the balls where
they are danced 1t sounds much like
command hang your clothes on a
limb. but don't go near the
water"

The Arizona federation has held its |
annual convention in Douglas, and |
Governor Hunt. the first governor of |
the state. left his official duties and
meeting. The federation has twenty |
three clubs and the individual club |
reports showed that some of the |
women rode thirty miles to attend |
their club meetings; that in rural COM |
munities the mothers brought their
children and stayed all day, and that |
many clubs, by their own exertions, |
had raised two or three hundred dol |
lars each to be used for altruistic |
purposes. The women of that state, |
their clubs, are having a no |
table influence in the upbuilding of |
the moral strength of the new COM |
monw wealth. |
81 was born in Ireland. I have sung |
all over the world. 1 am here; that is |
all there is about me-" said John Nc |
Cormack. the foremost Irish tenor of |
the day, short time ago in the west. |
81 made my debut in Savona, Italy, |
in January, 1906. I sang in Mas |
cagni's 'Amica Fritz My English |
debut was made at Covent Garden in |
October 1907, in 'Cavaleria Rusti- |
cana and in November, 1909, 1 ap-
peared at the Manhattan opera house |
in New York with Nine. Tetrazzini in |
La Traviata.'
Yes, I have had some difficulty in |
rising to the top of my profession. 1t |
was very hard for me to get p hear |
ing in London; the agents would not |
hear me at all ! got hearing from
Arthur Boosey of the music publish
ing firm of BooSey & Co, and was
engaged for their ballad concerts L
can sing at their concerts whenever I
wish for the rest of my life.
II studied eighteen months with
Sabatini in Italy. There is no such
thing as the italian method: all great
teachers use the same method, and
are equally good, whatever their ma
tionality.
MY favorite role is Rodolfo in La
BOheme, and my pet song is L Hear
You Calling Me- by Marshall. I be-
ieve in singing in English for an Eng
fish speaking audience, but 1 do not
mean that 1 do not also want Italian,
French and German songs. Let each
have their rightful place"
Mr.. Mccormack will be heard at the
Auditorium Saturday evening, March
