sion of any sort, she maintains her
brilliant prestige o. the stage, through
lising exactly as she pleases, eschewing
regular practice Of any kind, and i'm
posing on her wonderful constitution
few of the customary restraints,
I'm studying I was never bound
down to exercise alone; sang notes
at the same time. Now have no reg
ular practice. I sing-always my
notes-just when I find the impulse
siezes me. A born singer, one with
voice not Jabriqae' should not need
regular mechanical practice. All that
is needed TO keep the voice flexible
do by singing when l really want to,
and no more"
In the middle of the night Calve
sometimes arises and pursues her
study. She leans over the score
and softly huns phrase after phrase
uutil she is satisfied of the vocal and
dramatic unity in her delivery. On
the day she sings she breakfasts at ten.
Underdone broiled meat and little
wine make up the repast. Atthree she
dimes again on underdone meat roasted
and usually glass of champagne.
Wine she considers good for the voice
in moderate quantity. Nothing must
touch her lips from the three o'clock
dinner before she sings unless perhaps
little beaten egg and wine just be-
fore going on. She may take few
sips of the same in the entr'acts but no
solid food until her return from the
opera. Then she enjoys really the full
est meal of the day and denies herself
nothing she cares for. Her tastes and
appetite are limited, however. and she
contends that for . singer late solid
supper is the best thing.
She always has her long morning
walk. 'If singers" she says, would
exercise the general muscles of their
bodies more and their voices less they
would do BETTER Enough air and ex-
ercise she must have daily. and after it
on the day she sings she insists upon
perfect quiet. Sometimes she says it
is more of trouble than a relief to
lie down and refrain from talking, but
her argument is: Il have taken the
necessary outdoor exercise. l must
now prepare to rest my muscles and
my voice to be ready for the strain
which will be put on both tonight. ]
may not feel now the benefit of this
rest, but if / did not take it would
feel tonight i'll effects from the want
of it, So she rests.
Calve eschews society all she can
without giving offense. Everything
that is regular, elaborate or conven.
tionally planned wearies her. So that
her appearance at formal functions
may be accepted as particular con-
cession to very particular hostess.
When Calve can drop into an afternoon
tea in ordinary visiting dress she likes
it and is seen at her best. She is her
self brilliant, spontaneous, varying
and magnetic. She talks, she sings if
the spirit moves her and people beg
and clamor as they always do. She is
the same unrestrained being she is to
be found at home, nature so rich, so
exquisitely colored, so brilliant in its
dramatic texture, SO gloriously lovable
in its susceptibility and glow, that the
cloak of convention should never for a
second conceal its rare and magnetic
variety.

it's ever was, but more abundant in
quality by far than Patti could ever
boast, Melba, in a word, is the great
est singer, pure and simple, living to-
day.
Less of the atmosphere of ''great
artist surrounds Melba off the stage
than probably any other singer to be
met. What strikes you first in this
frank English-speaking woman is her
buoyant simplicity, her freedom Of ex-
preston, the entire absence of affecta-
tion, and fresh candor which is de-
lightful. She grasps your hand and
says: How dye do" in a sort of warm
hearted, homelike way, that makes

policy preached by politicians whose
domestic policy has been anything
but vigorous, has fallen on deaf
ears. 1t is certain that the Ameri-
can people want no more territory.
In recent years they have made
their mind on that subject perfectly
clear. They have never felt the
least qualification in the possession
OF Alaska; they showed unmistak-
able anger when the plan to secure
Cuba came to light; they care
nothing about Samoa and they do
not want the Sandwich Islands. The
Outlook differed from President
Cleveland about his proposed inter
ference in Hawaiian affsirs, but, al
though his application OF the princi-
pile was, in our judgment, uuwise,
the principle was Just and noble,
aud the President struck a note
which will become dominant in our
history. For almost the first time
iu the history OF diplomacy, a
powerful nation put aside the op.
uortunity Of ACKNOWLEDGEMENT lying
in its hand, aud declared that exact
Justice should be done to q foreign
people who were at its mercy. This
was a great and novel position; II
broke away from the selfish tradi.
tions OF the past; it struck q new
aud ringing note: IL was true Am.
