Years before, as plain Mr.. Wallop, the

+, far-away Australian home, devoting
much time to a lovely garden about
Coombe Cottage near Melbourne and
spending many happy hours teaching a
numerous colony of parrots how to
sing. The grey parrot OF Australia is
deemed the most versatile and most
musical of all the varieties of talking
birds. The space where these pets are
kept is large and filled with trees and
small Towering bushes, and those not
to be trusted with liberty are kept in a
smaller Enclosure entirely covered with
wide meshed wire. Some of the birds
could readily get concert engagement,
according to friends who visited the
former diva and heard them, but Dame
Melba keeps them for her own pleasure
and that of her friends, and beyond
teaching them to carry refrain with
her. she makes no effort to have them
perform difficult antics. She has many
kinds of these pets besides the grey
bird of the South Pacific, the yellow
Mexican kind which is so lively and
can be taught to whistle and to mimic,
and the gayer macaws and the smaller
varieties from the southern hemisphere.
Coombe Cottage is filled with souvenirs
of the glorious career of the owner and

Mrs. James Couzens, wife of the SEN
ator from Michigan, is one of the most
widely read members of official society
and leads the list of purchasers of new
books not only in her home city, De-
troit, but also in Washington. But she
does not buy new books at random
and solely because they are lately of
the press. She reads book reviews more
assiduously than the majority of book
purchasers, for she bestows gifts on
large number of libraries and also on
individuals. Few members of the busy
official circles in Washington have
time to read books except, perhaps, dur
ing the leisure days of Summer, and
for those who travel even this period
is closed. Washington's most advanced
leaders are given to synopSeS of cur
rent literature and to explanatory lee
lures and in particular to the many
publications devoted to condensing the
outpouring of letters and happenings
for the benefit of those who can merely
skim the pages. But Mrs Couzens
who presides over one of Washington's
most imposing homes, who has the
multitude of social obligations pertain
ing to her position and to an increas-
ing number of visiting friends, really
does read and can discuss the best in
recent books with the most erudite of
professors or book reviewers.

which is regarded as the supreme model
for sacred music.
In speaking of the new school, Mgr.
Ryan said, THE school of liturgical
music will be noteworthy addition to
the artistic and educational life OF

Nshment Of a school with such high
classical ideals as we intend to conduct.

GANG GETS $1,000 IN
JEWELRY AND CASH
Fashionable Apartment in Chicago
Robbed by Five Bandits, Who
Posed as Policemen.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 31.-News Of a
daring robbery last Saturday night in
the fashionable apartment of Mr.. and
Mrs. Stuart Logan, social leaders, by
five bandits who took between 5000
and $4,000 in jewelry and considerable
cash was made public Thursday night.
Police had suppressed it to give the
bandits an opportunity to open negotia-
tions with Logan for return of the loot
on cash settlement basis, as they had
agreed to do.
The bandits, posing as policemen,
forced their way into the apartment
and kept Mr.. and Mrs. Logan and the
servants in separate rooms while they
ransacked the place.
Logan, who is a wealthy retired bro
ker, tried to persuade the robbers to re-
turn the stolen goods for a cash pay
ment. They promised they would, but
failed to do so.

out German Ambassador Won Hoesch

Both appeared well satisfied with the re-

It Is generally felt here that despite
the additional sacrifices France was
obliged to make, she emerged the moral
victor because she made possible a
peaceful conclusion of the conference.
M. BRAND drove from the station
directly to the ministry Of foreign
affairs, where he went to work with his
secretaries, preparatory to leaving on
