Kansas City Girl May Get a Metro-
politan Engagement.

PARIS, Aug. 3 (Special.) -- Elizabeth Parkina, whose real name is Parkinson, a Kansas City girl, is about to sing for Manager Conreid of the Metropolitan Opera house, New York.

The young diva's success at Covent Garden in London made Mr. Conreid anxious to pass judgement upon her as a possible addition to America's list of operatic attractions.
