She was then slight of figure, weighing little over 100 pounds. Her engagement at the Cafe Kerkow ended February 2 of last year, and Miss Parker, with her mother, left Los An geles for San Francisco, where she has been singing in various cafes ever since. It was merely chance that led Maud Allan into the restaurant where Nadine Parker was employed a few nights ago; but chance having accomplished that much had nothing to do with what fol lowed. It was Maud Allan's big heart and her appreciation of Nadine Parker's remarkable voice that did the rest. Miss Allan sought and obtained an introduction to the young singer. The chat that followed was one of many, and finally Miss Allan offered to pay Nadine Parker's expenses if she would g-o abroad to study her art. The girl wast overjoyed and accepted at once. When she was only 17 Nadine Parker married a Boston man, from whom she is now divorced. Now she is going abroad to study singing, and Miss Allan is authority for the statement that the girl's voice Is one of rare promise.
