~ EMMA ABBOTT ABROAD.
The Little Singer Babbles PrettilY of Euro
pean Art, Royalty and Dressmakers.


That vivacious little singer, Miss
Emma Abbott. arrived early yesterday
morning on the steamer Champagne
from Havre. She has been travelling
abroad since June and has brought back
with her four new operas, which she will
produce the coming season. The cos
tunes, which she has had made for her
by Worth and Felix in Paris, are, she
says, ''finer and more exquisite than
ever graced the wardrobe OF an en-
press. -
TOUT SUPPLEMENT.
l saw the little lady last night at the
Vendome hotel. She was the sRe gay,
light hearted, laughing creatuee Is ever
$50 the dear old Herald wants 10
know what have been doing abroad?''
exclaimed Miss Abbott, il silvery tones,
as she settled herself in the depth of an
easy chair. 81 have been busy, oh, so
busy! every moment l have been away
If l was to tell all 1 have been doing it
would make long story. When you get
a reputation some one has said you can
lie abed till noon. 1t is not so. An
artist who wishes to please the public and
deserve their approval must work, work
work incessantly. She must study con-
stantly, go everywhere and see every
thing. That is what I have been doing.
TAMAGNO's VOICE Is WONDERFUL.
''While in London [ went to CoYent
Garden to hear TamagnO, the great
tenor, sing ''Otello' in honor of the
shah. l never heard a tenor OF such
tremendous power on the high notes as
TamagnO. Oh, but he is grand! His
voice makes your blood run riot in your
veins. He is as strong in his physique,
too, as he is in his voice. The heavy
drop curtain was descending the night 1
saw him when some lady threw him a
bouquet. The curtain weighs all the
way from one hundred and fifty
to two hundred pounds, and it
was coming right down on his head,
when he reached up his left hand and
held it, while with the other he picked
up the bouquet and bowed his acknOwl-
edgements. My! I was so frightened
when l saw it about to strike him that
screamed.
1.-The display of flowers in the theater
was the most beautiful 1 ever beheld. 1t
looked like Garden of Eden. A beau
tiful bouquet was on every seat in the
auditorium and the perfume waited
about was like heaven. I never expect
to see such sight again while | live.
The prince and princess of Wales were
in attendance. She is the wonder of the
world. She looks as young as her daugh-
ter who was married. She reminds
Americans so much in manner and looks
of Mrs. Cleveland that they all speak of
it. Her hair she dresses just like Mrs.
Cleveland-you know those two little love
locks that the ex-presldent' wife wears
on each side of her forehead.
BANGS OUT OF DATE.
'tBy the way the fashion in hair has
changed in Paris, and all the ladies wear
a single little lock down the center OF the
forehead. L suppose the style was sug-
gested by that ancient dOggerel.
There was a little girl, that had little curl,
And it Curled right over her forehead;
When this little girl was good she was very,
very good,
But when she was bad, she was horrid.
Bangs must go now. 4
81 went to Bayreuth and heard
'Parsifall' there Such musical effects
1 never heard anywhere else. Oh, those
sweet pianissimo notes! They seemed TO
