DR.. Carlotta, Nordica's ir-presario, when |
called ut the Kaiserhof by appointment on
Thursday morning. IF there is anything I can
say before she Is ready, I am at your service"
There has been n report that Nine. Nordica
Is TO I've married In Paris before returning to
New York. Is that the caseT"
NO; madame assuredIy gees to Paris for a
few days before che sails, and will see Mr..
roewy. who Is studying there. and expects to
make his Paris debut in Lohengrin during the
wintor. But he's marriage will not take place
vet. Nine. Nordica sails for New York on Nov.
for fifty Appearances this season."
Where does she 60 from heref"
"To Berlin. where she sings Marguerite in
Faust she sang Elsd there last Saturday
with great success. After the performance the
Emperor sent Count Hochberg to convey TO her
his congratulations ON her Elsa. which he said
was the most beautiful and perfect he had ever
seen. The Empress also was present at the per-
Torrance. Nine. Nordica received a perfect ova-
ton. and the press was unanimous In its praise.
Madame gives n concert also in Dresden.
We had not intended including Dresden in the
tour. but the demand was so urgent that the
concert was finally arranged. Now, II you will
come up stairs, | think madame will be ready to
see you"
Madame was net quite ready, however. a. a
pretty voice from the room adjoining the little
parlor announced in answer TO the Doctors in
quiry. Madame had breakfasted. rs the tiay

champagne bottle standing on the table evil

two large packages of English and American
mail, which madame wanted to open at once.

fully, permitted his lovely moustache
and cuffs to be duly admired. and
made himself thoroughly entertaining. Ap-
parently Nordica does not share the prejudice
of so many prime donnc against fcwers. for in
a basket on the table lay n large bouquet Of
tuberoses, roses. and violets, anG more graced
the desk. on which also stood a photograph Of
the handsome tenor, Doewy, Nordica's fance.
At last the door swung wide, and madame,
wearing a blouse of pale green and black striped
silk, the pulled sleeves OF which ended at the
elbows with a rufie OF the silk edged with lace.
and a dark skirt, appeared.
II am so sorry TO have kept you waiting"
With the first words spoken in the beautifully
modulated voice came the conviction that every
report as to the evenness and sweetness of
Nordica's temper and disposition was fully
warranted. The placid gentleness Of the lovely
face-for IL Is a lovely face, with its large blue
eyes. straight brows, beautiful mouth with daz-
