king would wed and whom the
henchman wins, turned nemesis, be-
cause of her woman's vanity and

1t stamps the music in true
legendary type.
We get the opera at an apt
moment. The love story opens (act
two) on Halloween, with the bench
each other, lost in a mist -ladened
woodland in England of the tenth
century. The overture has plunged
us into romance at the outset, with
sort Of breathless haste az of
flight, and theme that later be-
comes the saddened love-theme of
the king whom, not the henchman,
but Fate betrays.
She, gay and young, has VEN
tured forth to seek a lover, in
spirit of tradition, with inca nta-
tons and the like. She comes upon
the sleeping knight, fears him a
wrath. Her love theme is lovely.
Then he awakes and thinks he

and wool of romance?

No wonder Rafael Diaz is SO keen
about this role. From mans man.

henchman, is on the stage almost
throughout the opera.

QUBWOMEN'S
GUEST
Views E x hibit of
Pictures on Pioneer
Women

AIRS. WOODROW WILSON again
4H1 showed her interest in the ac-
tivitieS of the Women's National
Democratic Club by attending yes
terday afternoon the opening of the
exhibit of portraits Of pioneer
American women on view at the
club headquarters at 1926 New
Hampshire Ave.
The paintings are the originals Of
the cover pictures on the Woman
Citizen magazine from October,
1926, to October, 1897, through which
the Citizen sought to show the con-
tributions which women have made
TO the upbuilding of the United
States. When the Citizen conceived
the idea it thought that such paint
1ngs could surely be found in the
museums and state houses of diff
ferent States. Since a search re-
Vealed practically nothing along
these lines already in existence,
artists were called in to create those
scenes where women have played
q crucial part in making American
history. In some pictures the ac-
tual historical heroines are shown,
In others the figures are symbolical.
In the collection of IL portraits are
such women as the Pilgrim Mother,
Anne Hutchinson. Margaret Brent,
Lydia, Darrach. Narcissa Whitman,
Mary Lyon, Elizabeth Cady Stanton
and Clara Barton. Tea was served
IN connection with the private view.
Mrs. Wilson looked at the pictures
had nf
tea and a donkey cake" chatted
with various guests, and then slipped
away rather late in the afternoon,
accompanied by Mrs. Claude Swan
son, wife of Senator Swanson.
Mrs. Wilson wore simple gown OF
black satin and crepe and a small
black hat Of felt. A strand of pearls
was around her neck.
Before leaving Mrs. Kate Tren-
holm Abrams presented Mrs. F. H.
Within, of New York, to Mrs. Wilson,
and the three appeared to be having
an interesting conversation. Mrs.
Within Is in town for few days
before sailing for Geneva for an ex-
tended stay. She is the assistant
director Of the League of Nations
Nonpartisan Association.
In the receiving line were Mrs.
Andrieus A. Jones. wife of Senator
Jones of New, Mexico, who is presi-
dent Of the club, and Mrs. John B.
Kendrick. wife of Senator kendrick
of wyoming, who is first vice presi-
dent.
Mrs. Minnie Fisher Cunningham,
popular executive secretary of the
club. was in evidence greeting guests
here, there and everywhere. Mrs.
Cunningham will be leaving early
next year to conduct her campaign
