A NEW METHODIST BABY.

A brand new baby was born
early last Sunda" morning, in the
home of Rev. Wolfe, the presiding
elder. This is the first baby, so far
as the editor of the Register De-
partment of this paper recalls, born
in this parsonage home. But, read
a little further: This was not Mr..
and Mrs. Wolfe's baby. but the heir
to the throne of the House of Kelso,
where Mrs. Kelso Glanced to be on
visit at the time. And now you
know why this preacher failed to ap-
pear at his usual haunts. this week,
and why his face was so weathered
in smiles Monday morning at the
Methodist church.

Miss Hazel Eden, formerly of To-
peka, will appear III Kansas City the
last of the week and will probably
come to Topeka at that time to visit
her relatives.
THE career of Hazel Eden reads
like one of Grimm fairy tales" says a
Kansas City paper. Miss Eden first
Chicago Opera company where, atbo
handicapped by the, fact of being an
American, she, by dint of sheer merit,
forced recognition from Campanini
and was freely accorded the credit OF
being one of his most valued artists.
But being one of however. was not
part of the Eden creed so she left the
Chicago company to accept the posi-
ton of leading soprano with the Bos-
ton English Opera company and II
was here her real opportunity came.
ON the famous forty weeks tour with
that organization she time and again
demonstrated by her brilliant voice,
by her beauty and her unusual drama
tic sense that here was an artist such
as looms but once in a decade. Critics
pronounced her the reincarnation OF
Lillian Nordica in her prime. OffArs
came to her from the big companies.
but Hazel Eden remembered that
opera in English gave her her first
chance and when she was rendered the
position of prima donna with the Gen.
tury English opera company she ac-
cepted it.
I'm this organization she has found
her big opportunity and Hazel Eden
stands today acknowledged one of the
few truly great lyric sopranos of the
decade
Hazel Eden is former Topeka
girl, having made her home for years
