Gloves With EriIls-

New silk gloves for wear with long
sleeved coats and frocks have tiny
frills in contrasting color at the top,
the little frill running down the wrist,
which fastens with snaps. White
gloves have navy blue or black frills
on gloves in the new sand and putty
shades and in pale champagne tint
which is very fashionable. The frills
on these new gloves are made of the
woven silk fabric Of the glove plated

LLEWELLYN REVIEW.

Miss Louise Llewellyn made her
Ilrst appearance as a singer in Topeka
Friday afternoon in recital at the
Grand theater. Her coming had a
special interest to many who regard
her as a sort of local institution, mas
much as her father was once governor
OF Kansas. and she herself lived in
Topeka during his stormy administra-
ton. though she must then have been
little girl, for she is still young, an
that was good while ago. A Topeka
woman was the teacher of her Sunday
school class, and one of the school
teachers who taught in the building
where the little girl was a student Ie-
clares that they all knew the child had
talent. but they were certain it was
not for arithmetic.
Miss Llewellyn selected to introduce
nerSef to her erStWhile fellOw-tOWnS-
men, program of folk songs, inclu j.
ing a few English ballads and a good
many Bohemian pieces. These were
drawn from Slovak and Moravian
sources as well as from the music of
the present province of Bohemia. The
outstanding attribute of these Slavic
songs is a certain graceful melody and
strong rhythmic character, such as
belongs to the early music of all peo-
pies, and is especially marked in their
folk songs. They carry always q hint
of the dance. AS to their emotional
significance, it was pretty we'll con-
ScdlcO DeninO Inc DdITlerS OF n IOI-
eign language, even though the singer
explained the meaning of each selec-
ton before she gave it. From the
translations she gave, the text of many
of the songs was trivial. apart from
the understanding of their association
with the life of the art of q great mu-
steal nation in it's formative period.
Through the medium of these folk
songs Miss Llewellyn cOntrived to
convince the listeners of the attract
i've qualities of her voice. which may
be briefly catalogued. The tone is
fresh. vital and sympathetic, not of
large volume but of good carrying pow
err. She is happiest when she exploits
the upper part Of her voice. In the
lower registers the tone was some
what uncertainty produced. On the
other hand, the singers heart was 50
evidently responsive to the music she
sang that she gave the touch of feel
ing and interest to her numbers, that
by the nature of the concert lacked
somewhat in a pleasing variety. Miss
L1ewellyn has studied the folk music
of Europe at first hand, and finds
her favorite subject the Bohemian
songs.

CAN'T use CANAL
Southern Pacific Must Quit Oh
Give Up Its Ships.
/. C. C. Finds No Objection to
the COastwise Trade.

Washington, Feb. 13.-The South
ern Pacific company must dispose Oh
its holdings in the Pacific Mail Steam
ship. company unless operations of the
Pacific Mail vessels through the Pan
anna canal are stopped within sixty
days, according to a decision by the
interstate commerce commission to-
day. Operation through the canal
would make the Southern Pacific
holdings in the steamship line illegal,
the commission ruled.
The petition of the railroad set forth
that it proposed to operate the steam
ship company in traffic between San
Francisco and ports in Mexico. Guate-
and Costa Rica, between Mexican and
Central. American ports and Europe
and between Mexican and Central
American ports and the Atlantic and
Gulf ports of the United States. This
triffic, the petition says, would be
handled by the steamship company to
or from Balboa and transshipped in
connection with the vessels of other
lines in no way connected with the
petitioner.
The commission was told during the
oral argument of the case that the
Southern Pacific proposed to give up
it's service from San Francisco to New
York through the canal and from San
Francisco to Europe via the canal be-
cause such service might be considered
10 ne In COmDelll1On WIN the SOutH-
ern Pacific rail and water service via
New Orleans.
The commission today held:
1.-The Pacific Mail Steamship COM
pany operating boats between San
Francisco and Balboa or Colon, may
compete for coastwise interstate traffic
between points in the United States
for traffic between points in the
United States and points in Mexico
and for traffic between points in the
United States and points in foreign
countries. with the Southern Pacific
company's rail lines from San Fran
cisco.
THE commission is without power
to grant any extension Of time as to
vessel or vessels operating or to oper-
ate between San Francisco and Colon,
for the reason that that service by
water would be through the Panama
canal. If it shall be made to appear
that certain specified vessel or yes
sells will operate no further than Bal
boa, the commission could as to such
vessel or vessels, grant, an extension Of
time.
From the record it appears that
the service proposed other than that
through the Panama canal would be
in the interest of the public and Of
advantage to the convenience and
commerce of the people. and that it's
continuance would neither exclude.
prevent nor reduce competition on the
route by water under consideration"
