aud Wideawske, well-oullined eyelids, stFoag
| dark eyebrows, little impudent nose sad a
wide mouth? The liTs are full and the teeth
perfect. But thechiu is slightly un1er-huug.

which gives it soft expression. Emma Nc
| vada is about the size OF Minnie Hauk, but
of different build, her 6ga,e being more
slight and supple. Her voice is siDgularly
high. Its uPpermost notes are the best.
They are clear, crystalline, and are managed
in intricate and brilliant passages of the score
with extraordinary ability. The medium
range Is relatively poor, but the lower notes
have volume and are msilf1luous aud grave.

French term sons files or draHn-out noles, aud
there ls elesrness and precision in the
staoeate passages which are very rare. In
some respects she comes nearer to Patti than
any other cantatrice of the day.
