1t was during the time she was study
ing singing under Alfred Baehrens In
Paris that Miss Pearson first met some
of the better known artists. Baehrens
was then assistant to Jean de ResZke.
Miss Pearson attended numerous re-
ceptlons, luncheons and art exhibitions
and on account OF her 1.-the. picturesque
beauty she soon became the idol of
artists ideals.
Her latest portrait Is by Alonzo Kim
ball and II was finished at his studio
in the Healy Building here last month.
1t has not yet been placed on exhibi-
ton. The Kimball painting IL a full

standing gracefully near hammered

vet clinging gown and her expression
is that OF a world wise American girl.
intelligent, crafty and attractively en-
trancing A heavy plush curtain back
ground adds to the effectiveness and
striking appearance Of the picture.
Miss Pearson IL true westerner
and she was born in Denver In the late
sos. She grew up amid the healthy
atmosphere of the Rockies and when
s years old entered Wolcett School. a
private institution for girls in Denver.
There she remained until 1904. when
she enrolled at Miss Kemper's School,
an Episcopal convent at Kenosha. Wis
Miss Pearson remained there four years
and in September, 1905, she journeyed
to Europe, accompanied by her mother
In Paris she finished her studies be-
came the prize pupil of Alfred Baehrens
and achieved popularity among artists.
Baehrens was Of the opinion that Miss
Parsons voice was Of such unusual
purity of tone and OF such sympathetic
quality that he urged her to follow the
example OF the great majority OF other
American girls who come to Paris to
study singing and go into grand opera.
But. being a typical Western girl in
her matter Of fact way in looking at life.
and though she feels that she might
have been success as a grand opera
singer Miss Parsons ambition is to
prove successful in comic opera. That
Is the chief reason why she returned
TO this country in December and ac-
cepted an engagement from the Messrs.
Shubert to take a principal role in THE
Midnight Girl"
Art is a wonderful feature of the
twentieth century" says Miss Pearson.
But ! would rather be doing something
more active than posing day after day
for some painstaklng artist. For me
comic opera or musical comedy is more
human and more entertaining. Many
young women make the mistake of be-
coming ambitious for fame in grand
| opera when their voices and their tenn
permanent are more suited to lighter
opera.
Comic opera Of the present day is
| rapidly undergoing a change. The Old
style musical comedy with its principals
| and chorus who cannot sing is waning
in popularity. Nowadays people wish
to be really entertained and they insist
that those who entertain them shall be
artists well taught in their profession
and possessed of good voices.

why she didn't get results from deep
breathing. asked her to show me
how she did 1t. and found that instead
Of opening everything up she was
breathing in such way as TO close
everything and not using her diaphragm
at all.
Few people seem to realize that IL
they don't use their diaphragm in
breathing all the organs OF the abdomen
are bound to suffer. In the same way,
using only part of the lungs in breath
ing results in stopped shoulders and in
displacement of other organs which de-
pend upon the muscles of the chest for
their proper position.
Cases OF incipient tuberculosis are
sent to rarefed atmospheres for relief
and cure. The reason this is done, as
every one knows. is that the patient Is
forced to I'LL his lungs to get enough
oxygen. The same effect can be pro-
duced consciously OF course by means
of correct breathing exercises.
Children who grow too fast are often
stoop shouldered and narrow chested
because their lungs have not grown in
proportion to their body. Such chill
dren find 1t difficult to supply the body
| with sufficient oxygen to cause their
organs to perform their functions Wig
orously unless they are given some
form Of breathing gymnastics.
II have classes In one or two very
modern private schools and the re-
suits We get from the children there
are most encouraging, the principals

spirit of vanity has been handed down
through generations from Mother Eve

Perhaps IL becomes monotonous, how
ever, to be acclaimed beautiful many

the right road correct breathing becomes
as much of a habit as bad breathing
was before. and they have started life
right.
"A certain amount OF anatomy and
hygiene must be taught with the breath
ing exercises because the children do
much more readily something which
they understand. The same method
works best with grownups. too. And a

and at all times have practised GER
tain breathing exercises to develop the
body as a part Of their religious ritual.
The science OF correct breathing in
relation to health and voice production
received Its greatest stimulus in mod
ern times from the findings Of q COM
mission in Paris about fifty years ago.
This commission was appointed to in
vestlgate the reason for the retrogres-
sion of the art of singing. and reported
that the basic cause was defective and
insufficient breathing. This resulted in a
gradual awakening all over the CONT
tent to the Importance Of the study
of the breath. voice production and cor
receive breathing gymnastics. new
class of throat specialists has indeed
sprung up which treats certain disor-
ders Of the throat by means Of the
voice and breath.
Miss Boas studied with Prof. err
mann Gutzmann, phonetlcian and
throat specialist Of the University of
Berlin. She brought with her to
America one of the first Gutzmanns
breath measuring machines to be i'm
ported, and she finds 1t of great as
sistance in ascertaiEing where the
trouble lies in cases of defective breath
ing.
The machine records by means of a
straw stylus on roll of smoked paper
the slightest variations of the breath.
Records are made of the nasal BREATH
ing, lung breathing and diaphragm
attic breathing, and the source OF the
trouble becomes at once clear
After the trouble has been diagnosed
by means of this machine and frequen mt

| physician Miss Boas prescribes the ex-
| ercises designed to fit that particular
| case Sometimes the case has had no
precedent. Such was the problem Of n
boy of IL who after having had his tom
sils removed lost his vol, e and control
over the movements of his tongue. The
last OF several specialists to treat him
told Miss Boas about the case, but tried
to dissuade her from attempting to do
anything with the hoy, as 1t seemed a
waste of time. Miss Boas asked to
have the boy sent to her and found
| that the whole trouble arose from de-
feet in breathing, and after four les
sons got deep, natural tones from him.
In two and "A half months the boy was
cured and now he wants to go on the
| stage.
