Mr.. and Mrs. H. A. Hudson were reg

sian capital she became the personal
friend of the car and the royal family,
and as result OF that friendship she
is to-day the only woman singer who
possesses the order of ST. Catherine.
By this time both Patti and Strak-
osch realized that, although loving each
other devotedly, they would never be
happy as man and wife. AS her Max
laughingly said long afterward, he
wanted some one who would give him
nice things to eat and sew buttons on
his shirt So. under the solicitations
of the Empress Eugenia, Patti agreed
to a union with the Marquis de Caux,
the bearer of one Of the oldest names in
France and equerry to Napoleon Ill.
For Patti this was marriage de con-
venance, although she and her hus-
band lived on happy grounds for sew
eral years. 1t Was feared when she
first married that the gifted marquise
intended to retire from the operate
stage. Instead of this M. de Caux re-
signed his official position at court
that he might accompany his wife on
all her professional tours.

were formally married A peculiar fea-
ture of this second marriage was the
number OF ceremonies confirming its
legality There were four marriage
ceremonies in England, one in Russia.
according to the Greek church, one in
France and one in Italy.
For some time before and after this
union Patti went down in the estima-
ton of her admirers, notable among
whom was Queen Victoria. But sub
sequent events regained for the gen.
erous hearted singer any prestige she
had momentarily lost, and Nicolini's
devotion to his wife became a tradi-
ton OF the stage. He watched over
her like father, tended her, and anti
cipated her every wish. Sometimes he
even went down in the kitchen of their
hotel and prepared with his own
hands these little dishes which he knew
the diva liked when she was unwell.
And when the tenor fell Ill OF cancer
of the tongue it was Patti, the tender
hearted, who watched over him till his
death, giving up her engagements that
she might be at his bedside.

In 1867, the year following her mar
riage, Patti electrified Paris with her
juliet and scored still another sue
cess with her "Magherita,' notwith-
standing the fact that her rendition
of this part had to challenge cOmpar-
ison with that of many other great
singers.
But though PATHS married life seem

not the case. As Handel pointed out in

the divine right of the artistic tempera-

association.
In the case of great artistic, whose
art demands continual labor and sim
pie living, a husband might be called
the one private luxury in a life OF re-
pellent publicity. If he is not all to
her that her heart desires. she must
remain inconsolably miserable or re-

simple directness adopted. When Sig

The long wooing and the eventful

their first meetings the great diva felt
nothing but aversion for her lover, at
whose adiposity she was in the habit of
laughing. But Nicolini, the fiery heart

Lalians who landed at a New York
wharf just so years ago was one Sal
yatore Patti, a Sicilian operate tenor,
who for years had all but starved as
music master in Madrid. With him
came a brown eyed woman of decided
beauty and two little girls with round
ed cheeks and plated hair. These chill
dren had the soft melodious voices of
their southern home, and as the little
family was very poor, they sang in the
streets of New York. Many among the
hurryng crowds of the city stopped to
admire the rich, clear fullness of the
younger girls voice. Tightly clasped
under her arm she held bedraggled

While the marquis did not openly
disapproye of all this. he must have
had premonitions OF approaching
trouble. In time GOODNESS sprang up
between the two men, and ~Nicolini was
no longer invited 10 the nobleman' S
home. The lastSstraw, however, came
when Patti was singing in MOSCOW.
One of Nicolini's letters fell into the
hands of the marquis. AS a result OF
this he suddenly demanded that "Ro-
meo and Juliet be eliminated from the
list of the plays. The operate man
ager reluctantly assented to this. but
adroitly coupled the names OF the two
singers in "Traviata."
The angry marquis would not allow
his wife to appear on the evening OF
the performance. To turn him from
his purpose it was promised that MIC
olini should not appear If Patti were
only allowed to sing.

ter, but more regret. London fell at
her feet and her singing in La Son
nambula" carried the city by storm.
The entire English world seemed to go
mad over the beautiful young singer,
who soon proved herself TO be not only
the possessor of a wonderful voice, but
also a great actress. London society
forgot its traditional reserve and open
ed its arms to the girl who had once
sung in the streets of New York.
In her letters to the young pianist
lover she had left ir America she
makes scarcely any mention of the
great success she was achieving in Eng
land. In fact, in all her letters she
refers to her powers as nothing more
than ordinary, and once she laughing
ly said, while giving Zen reasons for
her undeserved title of Queen of Song
that the tenth cause Of her popularity
was her willingness always to sing
Home, Sweet Home" when the audi
ence asked for it.
But the young Adelina, like all 9TH
er singers with ambition, ardently
longed to have her English success con-
secrated by Calls endorsement and
confirmed by Partisan applause. When
she did appear in the French capital
she met with nothing but delighted
appreciation. Her tour of Europe was
a Napoleonic triumph. She secured
<the patronage Of the Empress Eugenia
and In three years became regularly
attached TO the Italian Opera House in
Paris She became the spoiled darling
of an indulgent imperial court, but liv-
ing always, as she has put it. "a slave
to her throat and her doctor" she let
no dissipation lure her from the
straight and narrow path of the train
ed vocalist.

ably the most brilliant and at the same
time progressive in Nine. PATHS exist

her tears. He begged for the little
bouquet and promised to keep it for
ever and forever.
In 1852 the child phenomenon was
taken on tour to Canada. On her re-
turn to New York she settled down to
hard work and close study, and the
years slipped quietly but happily away.
The sunshine of those ea-ly years
was her girlish love for Max Strak-
osch, her Dear Max" as she called
him in all her youthful, passionate love
letters Max's brother Maurice had
married Adelinas sister Amalia, and it
was through the good services of both
Max and Maurice that she first secured
suitable singing masters and eventu
ally her excellent and thorough vocal
training.
1t was a very beautiful part of her
life, this love of the singing girl for the
young Viennese pianist, who had the
habit of taking ner On his knee and
telling her stories of his beautiful
Vienna and the old world singers, and
how some day she should be great and
sing on Vienna stage. Then, after a
short rest, came the actual debut of the
girl singer. In the New York Academy
of Music in the winter OF 1859 she sang
