slightest idea OF the kind Of picture she In
destined to make Of herself.
She never knows what dress she is to wear
nor anything else. 10 is 'Car'line, as she Is
called, who has all that in charge. Carline
10 Miss Burkmeister, who has been with
Patti for years and knows the tastes Of the
Diva better than Nine. Patti herself does.
II it were not for Car'line, Patti would
probably think abe couldn't run Craig-y-
Nos. Why, Patti does not know how many
jewels she has; but Car'line does When
Patti retires Car'line strips of her jewels
while Patti laughs and chats, and hasn't an
idea what diamonds her companion has
taken of. or course, 100000 worth of
diamonds aud other precious jewels is an
immense amount TO care for, but Car'line
knows to brilliant how many jewels the
diva has. Therei are bracelets, necklaces,
stars, breaches, rings galore, earrings and
hair ornaments in such profusion that they
amount to more than a fortune. PATHS
favorite ornament and the one she wears
most frequently is the beautiful diamond
arrow that the Princess of Wales sent 20
her when she and Nicolini were married.
When Car'line thinks madam would en-
Joy new ornament, some Of the jewels
are taken up to London and reset. Rus
sell, the great jeweler, almost always has
some of PATHS jewels IN his atelier, and
Miss Burkmeister designs the shape in which
they are TO be reset Not only that, but
she designs all Of PATHS gowns. She does
not wait 20 ask Patti if she wants new
gown, or inquire what she would prefer
Worth makes them, but Car'line designs
every one Of them 90 every puff and fold.
She buys every article that Patti wears,
and her wardrobe is 80 extensive that q
dozen members OF the $50 could supply
themselves with extravaganza trosseaux for
q season, and still have plenty for as many
more.
Packed away IN many trunks are all the
costumes that Patti has ever worn In opera
each almost as fresh as the day IL was flrst
put on. One OF the fascinating groups of
this collection consists Of all the costumes
she has ever worn as Marguerite The shoec,
caps and all the stockings are laid carefully
away between tissue paper with each COS
tune. IL Patti desires to establish a
museum that should bear her name, no
greater attraction could be- found to start
With than this stage wardrobe OF hers with
the story OF each gown.
Patti Is sdored by her servants, but nos
because they see her investigating the con-
dition OF pantries and counting up the sill
YER. She never does that. and there Is no
need for IL. Carline knows everything
that goes on ia the castle She is like one
OF those famous housekeepers that ali Ger
man novelists install 20 keep order IA
labyripths OF royal castles. They are little
short Of genii, and Car'line must have her
veins full OF the same kind OF blood. She
buys every article that goes into the house.
She hires every servant inside and outside
the place. She does everything Ia fact, and
withal, Is @ small, slender woman apparent
ly never tired or ruffisd.
when Patti sings the check is paid 70
Miss Car'line, and she pays all the bills at
the castle and elsewhere. II il easy 10 see
what wonderful person she Is, and how
much OF PATHS comfort Is due 90 her inde-
fatigable companion. Aud Patti has ap-
preciated her and loaded her with gifts uns
