Many people don't understand how Amer-
can girls can be quoted as making triumphant
debuts and singing with great success in Italy,
only to turn out complete failuers when they
come home. The reason is well put in the Bos-
ton Sunday Times New York correspondence,
which says of Mark Smiths daughter, known
as Caterina Marco: ''She had sung in opera at
Como with eminent success, just as other
young ladies have sung at Bergamo, Forl, Yer
ona or Faenza. 1t may not be generally known
that those towns bear the same relation to the
great European capitals that Westerly, R. l.,
and Bricksburg N. j., bear to Boston and New
York. The only Italian cities that stand high
muscaly are Naples and Milan, where San
Carlo and La Scala are. Even Florence, Ven
ice, Turin, Bologna, have little to recommend
them. Anybody can gain access to the thea
ters of the small towns, especially if he or she
will perform for nothing; for the opera there is
poor enough in every respect-ten times poorer
than it is in Springfield, Memphis or Whining
ton, here-and that is saying good deal"
A new gallery devoted to the exhibition OF

Albert Berstadt has nearly finished view
of the singular shore line of the island of
Farallone, off the coast near San Francisco.
The subject is the great limestone arch, one OF
the curiosities of the island, drawn against
brilliant sunset sky. The foreground is in
shadow, and the rugged character of the rock
formation, together with the group of sea-lions
near the waters edge, is in striking contrast
with the glowing tones of reflected light which
