"XX/HEN I was young girl my
w teacher took me to the great
opera house in Barcelona, Spain, to
sing for the conductor. / was very
small, unimpressive little girl, some
what lost in the cavernOus darkness
of the great stage, but my teacher
was very proud and very jealous of
my ability.
"My voice must have been unusual
ly good even then to challenge the
opinions of the great orchestra leader
of the fashionable opera house. But
he was not impressed and said to the
teacher, I do not like her voice; I
do not care for it.
"Some years later. when l had
grown to be twenty-one, and Of some
celebrity, was selected as the prima
donna for the, gala performance in
honor of the coronation of the king
Of Spain. The conductor of this per-
Torrance was the same man who had
refused to believe in little Maria."-
Maria Borrientos.
TO-DAY - Maria Borrientos is
prima donna of international fame.
She was the leading coloratura So

in New York, until few seasons ago,
and created many famous roles.

their enchantment to the boudoir

Negligees of the esthetic nature

which at present everywhere domi-

not succeeded in doing for years.
Sheer fabrics, too, abound in unstinted

The exquisite negligee in the pic

"Just as though / had some toy

"And then he had a toy copy made
of the kitchen boat that used to go
alongside the boat he was in and at

the kitchen workers would pass over

There were toy copies made of

"She had been sick for quite long

"And then, of course, she did not
feel well herself. Oh, no, she didn't

mother wasn't well.

CHE WHY of
SUPERSTITIONS
BY H. IRVING KING
BREAKING THE NEEDLE

THE superstition with regard to
i breaking a needle while sewing
upon a new garment differs in differ
ent sections of the country; but has in
all a general signification of good
luck. In some places they say that
to break needle while sewing upon
d new dress is a sign that the owner
will live to wear out the garment.
In other places they believe that it
is sign that the person for whom
the garment is being made will, If
single, he married before the year is
out: while in some sections the break
ing of the needle means that the gar
ment will be "lucky" for its owner.
The magic of this superstition Is
based upon the idea so firmly held by
the ancients that iron was obnoxious
to evil spirits-they hated 1t and they
feared it and sought to work mischief
upon anything into the composition
of which iron entered and to revenge
themselves upon those who worked
in iron.
Inc neeuie Is dh lIoh IhpichChI
or, which Is the same thing, a steel
one-and the evil spirits hover about
in anger when it Is being used, but
are afraid to touch it. They might,
however. try to "hoodoo" the gar
ment which was being constructed
by the feared and hated implement.
But when you break the needle, there
by destroying it, you do just what
the spirits would have done had they
dared and they go off satisfied, leav-
ing the garment being worked upon
therefore lucky; their vengeance is
accomplished by the destruction of
the needle.

may conceal or mar the beauty Of
the design.
Indian prints are priced according
to their size and quality. The former
is easily diStinguishable, but the latter
not so. Quality in Indian prints is
first of all matter of material. The
fine cashmere cottonS are the best,
and the coarser almost ''cheese-clothy"
ones are the least expensive. In most
stores one will not find more than one
or two qualities, and the distinction
may be readily made by comparison.
The better Indian prints are more
carefully and delicately printed than
the cheaper ones. The colors in the
finest ones are so well printed that
they appear to be woven in tapestry
fashion. The colors are more carefully
matched and blended, and the designs
are blocked in with meticulous care.
For Summer use, however, the in
expensive prints are thoroughly suit
able, and they are of real beauty.
Hanging on the wall, texture and care
in blocking are not easily discernible
in these prints, and the housewife
with decorative problem to solve
may solve it beautifully and inexpen-
sively with one.
Among the uses which have been
found for these prints are as luncheon
and tea table cloths, napkins, hand
kerchiefs and bandannas or bandeaux,
table runners, head rests on uphol-
stored furniture, bedspreads and Gov.

and aprons, and, in fact, for every con-

l. Process.
Have a kettle of boiling water with
the steam escaping either from the
spout or some small opening. To
steam over the large exposed surface
of an uncovered saucepan has it's diff
ficulties. Hold the hat so the steam
comes directly on the places that are
most in need of restoring. The point
is to keep it there long enough to get
moist, without becoming actually wet.
Quickly press the blemiShes into the
right shape by means of the thumb
and forefinger.
Brim.
If the brim of the hat is fat. the eff
feet can be improved by first steaming
it, and then laying it on an ironing
board and pressing with a hot iron
Since straw scorches quite easily, be
sure to try the iron before using.
Flowers.
Flowers, held firmly by the petals
and vigorously brushed with a soft
brush, will be improved. "A brief in
terval over the steam should follow
and then a good shaking, though
gentle. Flowers that are faded, but
otherwise sound, can be successfully
retouched with water color paint, ap.
piled with a paint brush. The colors
should not be wet enough when used
to soak the petals. Unlike the real
blossoms, water serves to wilt rather
than to revive them. Care should be
taken that the flowers are in the right
position when laid down after steam
ing or retouchinG.
Feathers.
A few drops of olive oil is miracle
worker for renewing the gloss on
feathers. Moisten the fingers slightly
with the oil. Begin at the base, or quill
end of the feather, rub outward, keep
ing the barbs close together. The oil
unites the barbs and restores the bril-.
liancy to the surface.
If, despite such treatment, a feather
seems so fragile that a wind would
watt parts of it away, there is an
easy remedy. A hair net of the shade
nearest its color can be deity applied,
or very carefully matched piece of
