Considerable gossip has been created IN Paris

book published by NM. Tresse & Stock. which
deals chiefly with anecdotes about Adelna

taste. Others, however, like the following. are
characteristic of the diva, and are merely
amusing:
"When the company which M.Schurmann was
plotting was about to start for Bucharest. Nine
Patti absolutely refused to proceed to that

BOOTHS Arrested Development.

That Edwin Booth was not a studi0us man,
as some are inclined to argue since the light
went out OF those wonderful eyes forever, was
best evidenced, according to a Chicago paper,
by the fact that the last twenty years OF his life
indicated no growth in artistic development.
The fine equpoise of genius that marked his
period Of early maturity continued practically
unchanged until the end. Even that mell0wfng
process which comes with advancing years did
not materially change the focus OF his art.
