Miss Clara Louise kellogg passed
through the city Saturday on her way to
Jacksonville, where she sang on Satur-
day night. During a pleasant chat at
the train she remarked that it does not
seem as though her appearance before
Savannah audience tonight will really be
her first in this city. Continuing, she ex.
planned that although born in the Old
Palmetto State, Dot fifty miles from Co
lumbia, fate had always led her in some
other direction than back to her old home.
Her artistic life has not as vet permitted
her to establish any other home than the
one she made for herself years ago on the
banks OF the Hudson, which she disposed
Of owing to her Fittings hither and yon
from one continent TO the other, and from
the lands Of the south to the shores OF the
western ocean and the wild regions of the
frontier; now driving through the snow OF
Petersburg TO royal palace, now flashing
her smiles upon English nobility In Lon
don drawing rooms, now feted in the city
OF the Golden Gate, then roaming on to
quaint towns 10 which the Indians carry
their wares, where life is like that OF an
other planet compared to eastern splendor
and the culture OF eastern homes.

In New York is the Clarendon Hotel. Its
quiet eXclusiYeness pleases her taste, and
her many years sOjOurn there make her
feel that IL 10 almost her home, the more
so that the apartments are fitted up with
her own belongings and decorated with
her trophies.
Speaking Of the habit Of giving valuable
presents as a recognition Of favor, the
prima donna said that the American
magnates Of society lavish their money
on entertainments and flowers as no
Briton does, but In England the habit of
giving valuable presents is much more
common than In America. "On the con-

not crown IL. or course it Is not a mer-
cenary feeling, but royalty instead OF
showing ite appreciation by elapping Of
hands and stamping Of feet has made 1t
the custom to present breach, or ring,
or a bracelet"
A beautiful ornament which Miss
Kellogg wore was the exquisite gift that
some Of the citizens Of San Francisco
made 10 her AT the close OF her successful
engagement In opera among them. II Is
worth $4,000, and is In the form Of a bar

pleasure loving city of the Pacific coast,
but as a reminder Of her happy sojourn
