"Perhaps., after YOU" answered:
you have controlled that woman for so long,
and I could not and nobody else could.
The misfortune of the poor creature was tina.
she had not a beautiful face. Her figure was
beautiful and symmetrical. She had an nla-
baster complexion. real blond hair. pretty
a corset. She never bought a newsnaper to
read her %!ripmphs. In January, 1875, the
Toronto Mail called her beautiful. AS soon as
! told her that; she ordered her lackey to buy
fifty copies. She preferred beauty to the God
given gift OF n golden larynX: so her only
ambition was to have II handsome husband,
and that is the cause OF her falling q victim to
Anderson and to Hill. who were fine looking
started for Wellington before ] did, and on
the eve OF her.departure ! told them:
You are going back TO A ustrGlia. God bless
you. but look TO your bank book and SEQ how
much, money you have. II you after four
months of concerts have gained elOO, I will
pay you f1O0; II you lose. you pay me EIOO.'
They lost $500. Then we agreed that De
Murska would come back in January 10 sing
an arrangement with John Mccullough of the
California Theatre. and | should remain her
manager in the tnifed States. They did not
come. The. year after Gtummona did not go With
them, and / advised him TO go to Melbourne,
where he was a great farorite. and give piano,
singing, and cello lessons. as he would make
n fortune. as he did accommodating Ell. 900 up
TO 1850. when ] went back there with Car. otta
Patti, besides having stock In n leather and
shoe establishment.
This Is not the end OF the troubles Of the de
Murska's second marriage. NJ you will read in
