only receives calls from friends, but there
are always others who would like TO know
her and, having admired her from the audi

her face to. face. There are always others
who have a desire to follow her career and
they beseech her to hear them sing and ad-
wise them what TO do. Madame Nordica's
invariable advice is not to attempt such
life work as her own. She is lover OF
music and has reached successful heights,
but il has required heroic effort. There
are few that reach her position Madame

rigid hardships they did not forget the
fourth of July and celebrated the birth

our nation with her thirteen stars and
