The ovation given to Madame Patti
when she sang for a charity at Swansea
is not surprising, as, whilst amateur
concerts for charitable purposes are ire
quent, it rarely happens that any one
going to one gets much more for his
money than a sense of having devoted
1t to some useful object. When Patti
took up her residence at Craig-y-Nos
Castle, "thero was Whisper" saws the
