Adelina Patti never takes any out of
door exercise. She is very much afraid
of cold air, and when she goes out for q
drive in winter swathes' herself in furs,
ties up her head and even puts cotton in
her ears. She never speaks in the night
air, and when she runs from the stage
door to her carriage her mouth is covered
by the scarf that goes over her head.
Mime. Patti has kept her voice in good
condition by this treatment, but it would
not do for every one.

alive, and that he will not permit the
noble animals to be hunted again until
