 Her "Sudus pro Patria" made her ia nous throughout Italy, and the influence of her musical work was recognized by the king and queen and Premier Crispi. Queen Marguerite gave her a locket of diamonds with an emblcmatic pearl at tached. Il send you myself, wrote the queen.
 But another rung in the ladder of fame remained for her to climb-the Paris Opera House. It is as easy for the proverbial camel to pass through the eye of needle as for woman work to reach the Grande Salle Opera in France is a state institu- tion, and the acceptance of pieces which might bankrupt the treasury is a matter of great concern. But Miss Holmes wrote, read and won, for not only has her opera, ''Montenegro, " been accepted, but it is to be produced this season.
