New York Letter

More depends upon a singers eating than
one is apt to suppose. You constantly see
paragraphs in the papers how this prima
donna or that prima donna is so capricions
about her food. 1t is not caprice; il il me-
cessity. A prima donna could not sing an
a meal cooked as the average hotel furnishes
it. Her digestion must be looked after or
her voice suffers. A ~good-natured laugh
passes over the face OF the country at Miss
Kellogg's little frying-pan and alcohol
stove, but that little %frying-pan and alcohol
stove have made it possible for Miss Kel-
logg to sing after a days journey, when
she would have no appetite for ordinary
hotel food. A chop or an egg, or a bit Of
chicken, cooked as they are not cooked In
an ordinary hotel, give her nourishment
and she must be nourished to sing, Ths
voice is largely dependent upon the condi-
ton OF the stomach. Patti knows this, and
she will take no risks. She has her own
chef with her, and he prepares her food lust
as she wants it. She is about TO 20 to Bos-
ton, and she has just sent word to Col. Ma.
pleson that she won't go unless her chef can
cook the dinner she has on the trainl or
course, he cooks for her in Boston, but Ma
pleson thought she might partake Of one
meal not Of his preparing; but she thinks
differently, so her chef must don his can
and white apron and cook her dinner as ths
train speeds over the New England land
scape. Patti is right. She knows her W
stomach and what it requires, and she is
going to cater to it. II she didn't she
wouldn't sing as well as she does,

Florence Letter to the San Francisco Chronicle.l
The Italian theatres are tbs finest in the
world. They are not so richly dec rated as
ours. they are not SO luxurious, but they are
far more roomy, more c~ommodious, better
ventilated and less liable to catch fire. They
appear to DO modelled after or rather de-
yeioped from the Roman amphitheatre. The
form is oval, not horseshoe shaped. like
ours. The oval form enables the stage to be
seen from every seat, which Is not the case
with the horseshoe. The floor Ct the par
ouet is the solid earth itself, covered with
garden gravel. This forms an K sllent re-
c~eptacle for cigar stumps, orange rinds and
the other debris Of enthusiastic audiences.
and it may be easily removed with
O rake. The structure is usually Of
brick, with a minimum of woodwork.
A fire is next to impossible, and ii one
does occur the parquet, in which the seats
are wide apart, and where the aisles and
cross-passages are wide n numerous, is an
excellent refuge while the audience is filing
out Of the house. The roof is ten feet above
the top of the walls, the intervening space
being left open for ventilation. One Of the
consequences OF these arrangements is that
there is no closo or musty smell about the
house. Iamnow describing the Arena Ma
tionale of Florence, but the other theatres
are much of the sans type. The play was

She was singing in the twilight,
And a shade Of purple gloom
Half unveiled the pl asant faces
Gathered In a lcfty room.
Not a whispered word was spoken
Not a movement stirred the air;
AS the music lOated upward,
In the silence, like a prayer.
AS listened, soul and senses
Rapt, entranced, me seemed, l heard
Altar, the wOndrous trilllng
OF a silver-thrOated bird,
That charmed me, with its sweetness,
To a lovely Fairyland,
Where the sky was 0palescent
And the odOrOus breeZes bland.
There | strolled beside a river,
In the pleasant even-time,
Where the waters made q music,
Like the rythm of Gothic rhyme.
While the shadows of the LEAKAGE
Danced together, baud in hand.
And the flowers kissed the wavelets
Kneellng on the silver sand.
The Summer sun was setting,
On a couch OF molten gold
Digit about with crimson trlngeS
Bright and wOndr0us to behold.
And. me thought, a band Of angels
Coming through the gates or DAY
Stopped and fingered there to listen
To the sweet, melodious lay.
1t was done, and | awakened
From the beauty and the bloom,
But to find | hah been dreaming,
In that self same lofty room.
But, in all the years before me,
Be they short, or be they long,
shall not forget the singer,
Nor the sweetness Of her song.
