a half hour to 60 away and write anything
nasty Of her. Some way you think Of a bird
of brilliant plumage or a luscious tropical
flower when you stand in the diva's pres

peachy face, the lights In her splendid orien-
tai eyes and red gold tresSes, the fash of dia-
monds and the soft luster Of velvet For the
queen Of song is always exQuisitely dressed.
You are fascinated by her picturesque per
sonality, her magnetism, her sweet voice, her
thousand and one winsome ways, and you are
diverted by her self appreciation. "Were

Oh, how much you missed! I sang superbly.
When l was 16 my voice was silver, but now

be pity to deprive the public Of such voice
as mine"
Patti is enchanted with her beautiful new
hair, which was finished in New York, the
preparatory work only having been done
abroad. She is like child with a new toy
as she pats, careSses and calls attention to the
beautiful shining mass piled high on the
graceful little head. She asks you frankly il
