THE HUMAN PROCESSION


 Emma, Flames Gorgoza, for two de cades one of the most popular prima. donnas of the English and American operatic stage, is Chinese by birth. having been born in! Shanghai forty six years ago today, August 13, 1867. Her parents were American, however, her father being a lawyer in the In ternattonal courts of Shanghai. The childhood of the great singer was spent in Boston, where she studied music and sang in church and other con certs. She went to Europe to com pIete her musical education,- and made her debut at the Paris Grand Opera in 1889, in t'Juliette.'' Two years later she sang before a. noteworthy audience in Covent Garden, London, and was greeted with continued applause. That year also marked her marriage to Ju- liam Story, the artist, a son of w. w. Story, the sculptor and poet, and a grandson of Justice Joseph Story of the United States Supreme Court. For many years the painter and the sing CT lived happily together, but in 1907 the break came and Mme Flames se- cured a divorce. A few years later she married Emilio de <4orgoza, fa- nous baritone. MT. Story also mar r.ed again. A few months ago Mime. Flames announced her retirement from the professional stage, and declared that in the future she would sing only for charity.
 Tor always in thine eyes, O Liber- ty: shines that high light whereby the world is saved''-so one might pay poetic tribute to the genius of Sir Ar thur Lasenby Liberty, who found Eng land a dreary waste of sartorial and decorative ugliness, and transformed it into the abode of taste and beauty. The founder of the world-famous house of Liberty was born seventy years age today. and, with Horace Fletcher, the chew-chew man, was pioneer importer of Oriental wares. The st1n and stuffy styles of interior decoration then prevailing in England aroused his anfmosity, and he began preaching a gospel of beauty that soon made his shop the gathering place of famous artists, including IeightonE Whistler, Ruskin and William Morris. He next turned his attention to the clothes worn by Eng1ishwomen, but his Gre clan costume internationally famous as "the Liberty-draped woman," was co extreme for general adoption NeV- ertheIess, his crusade was successful and English ladies lost their unenvia- ble distinction of being "the worst dressed women in the world" Sir Arthur was made a knight the first of this year.
 Dr. Felix Adler, the German Jew who founded the ethical cu1Cure move ment, was born in Alzey, Germany, sixty-two years ago today, the son of Rabbi Samuel Adler. He came to America in his youth and graduated from Columbia University, later re- turning to his native land to study at Berlin and Heidelberg. From 1874 to 1876 he was a member of the Cor nell faculty, and in 1876 he founded the New York Society for Ethical Gull fure, the first of many similar socie- ties tI1rouehout the world. The great est need or the day, according to Dr. Adler, is trained and scientific moth erhood.'' ---
 .tN5o1hefhood must become voca- ticn,'' he recently declared. Mother hood must become intellectualized. woman's great decire is to work for the best of her offspring. It is not enough to desire that. She must know what the best is. So mother hood must become scientific. The mother must be trained-must have a knowledge of the mental life of the baby of the character development of the child.''
