with cold. On two other Gays she was
busy with don Giovanni rehearsals, as
she has not sung Donna Elvira" for
some years. On Friday night she sang
''Isolde," so her week was busy one in
spite of the fact that she made only one
appearance. at the opera. The rehearsals
are ordeals to which all the singers sub
nit with difficulty. The dangers of
draughts, the fatigue of singing for sew
eral hours, the possibility that one of the
most important persons in the cast will
lot appear-all these things combine to
make the rehearsals one of the things
against which the prima donnas struggle
Nine Lehman is an exception in this re-
spect. Her devotion to rehearsals. Is
marked, and her decisive passage at arms
with Manager Stanton in the old days at
the Metropolitan is ;alwayssrelated as evil
dence of her zeal. It was nearly clock
and the stage hands were waiting to pre-
pare the scenery for the evening perform
ance, but Nine. Lehman continued to re-
hearse a certain scene which did not go to
her satisfaction. The stage manager ap-
pealed to her In vain. Finally Mr. STAN
ton came on the stage to suggest that the
rehearsal had better end in time to allow
the evening performance. Mme Leh-
mann's reply on that occasion is remem-
bered for its decisiveness and Is always
quoted as an indication of her willingness
to rehearse until everything is as well
prepared as it can be.

pupnc, rne praise OF critics and the ma.
terial rewards which come to the great
singer-can there be- anything in the
world to counterbalance such delight?
The matinee girl thinks not: y, So she sees
only things to be enlVied In the singers
life. There are other views of her career,
however. The long years Of laborious
study are a. familiar prelude to every mu-
steal career. They are understood in a
vague. sort of way even by persons who
know little of the singers task. That
the prima donna must have worked hard
before her honors and her salary grew
great Is appreciated. But few realize that
she is still forced to guard her voice. to
study new roles and keep herself fresh
in old ones. to watch herself so carefully
that she is practically a slave to her art,
and to give up so much of the ordinary
enjoyments of life that not one girl in
ten who applauds and envies her would
be willing to change places with her.
