The Perennial Patti.



1t has been a good many years since the
slim bit of a girl with a wonderful voice
sang for the first time in Baltimore, and
many times has she revisited the city where
she was admired from her first appearance.
She was poor then, but think what has
happened since! The worlds millions have
been hers. The plaudits of the humble and
the great for two generations have greeted
her. She more than any one else in the
world has been not only queen, but the
queen-the queen Of song, the highest in
music and popularity. The picture of the
sweet, lovely little woman comes very
plainly when memory looks back bit. and
It seems hard TO remember a fraction of the
events which have crowded her life And
now to think that she is going to be married
again. 1t is the third time. And 1t will
probably be another farewell performance.

4 Criticism Of the Weekly Picture
Paper illustrations.
Chicago Pos

Tie obgervant man put down the illustrat-
ed weekly paper he had been examining
rather critically and shook his head.
m inclined to think we have had too
much realism in illustrating this war; he
I'm what way?' he was asked.
Wei, I've been comparing the ilustra-
tons in the big weekies now with those that
were published during the war OF the rebel
non, he answered. and. while the iustra-
tons to-day are doubtless more accurate
reproductions of the actual scenes, / do not
think they are as satisfactory as those we
got thirty odd years ago.
But they ought to be infinitely better it
was urged. Phe facilities for getting and
reproducing the pictures are vastly better
now than they were then. There has been
Improvement in every branch of the busi-
That's just the trouble" explained the
observant man. i confess I couldn't quite
hgure it out myself at first, but now ] think
| can Thirty years ago our battle illus
trations were made from sketches by artists,
while now they are made from photographs.
The photographs may be more realistic. bur
the sketches were more artistic. In a sketch
all the necessary details could be made
clear and distinct in photograph they are
likely to be blurred, and this Is especially
true when the sun is working overtime. as
1t is in practically all the places where there
has been fighting / have followed this
matter closely since the first call for troops
was made. and l have noticed that as they
have moved south the pictures have become
less and less clear and distinct. Some OF
those taken in the Northern camps were
excellent: most of those taken in Cuba have
been poor | have been trying to make a
collection of them for a scrapbook and
consequently have studied them pretty
closely. One part of a picture will stand out
plainly and the rest will be absolutely lack
ing in detail. This is especially true of
faces. The figures will sometimes stand out
well and the faces be apparently hidden in
lmpenetrable darkness. In fact. most of the
faces in moss of the pictures are absolutely
featureless. What's why 1 say the illustra-
tors have gore IL too much for realism in
this war. They have reproduced direct from
photographs and the photographs In many
instances have not been good usually, il
seems to me, owing to the very strong
lights and shadows in tropical countries.
