THE EVOLUTION OF KATHLEEN
MCAlISTER
Miss McAlister will be heard at the
Augusta City Hall, Tues. evening"
Mar. 10, under the auspices Of the
Augusta Girls Community Club.
"Rorn in q stable. -

Born in a stable.
The piquante features of Kath-
leen McAlister, one of Buston's
musical finds" of this season. took
on solemn expression.
She spoke from the depths of an
armchair which seemed to swallow
her up.
Her head, with its glorious mass
of unshorn black hair. bowed itself
in an affirmative that spoke volumes.
II shan't deny the truth she
said with quiet earnestness, raising
her large deep-brown eyes again
quickly.
And I'm not ashamed Of 1t, eth
er. The fact is the memory has been
a great help to me 1t has given me
a true appreciation of such good for
tune as l have experienced. On the
other hand, when things looked very
black to me, l have been able TO
think that once they were even
blacker. And l have passed through
many dark moments"
1t sounded odd to hear such words
from this particular young woman
sitting there in her studio. OF all i'm
pressioEs, a very strong one she gave
was that a life of culture and consid-
cradle ease probably preceded her
recent proud experimentation Bos-
ton music critics, despite the fact
of her being young and newcomer
paid the highest compliments to her
singing. AS If divining this thought,
she went on:
"Of course, I suppose I ought to
feel myself a pet of Good Fortune as
far as my success with my first Bos-
ton concert is concerned.
But then. how different other
times were. =
Heavy contrast seems to be the
rule of my life. Look here"
She jumped up lightly and pointed
out framed diploma.
1t stated that 1t was record of
the awarding to Kathleen McAlister
of first prize in singing, on decision
Of a jury whose names were signed
and they represented some of
Frances most distinguished musical
figures.
Il was the first American girl to
win that" she said simply.
Now, look at this"
She showed a picture postcard, ex-
planning:
This big red building in front is
the Bangor Y. M. C. A. Now notice
the store in the background. with a
house beyond. That is the location
of the old stable where l was born,
as you've read.

took the minds off the dining room
where the hostess was endeavoring to
lead forth the annual crackers and
brew some spiffy cambria tea. Guests
were reluctant to depart. but drowsy
lids forced them to seek their coy
cribs.
