Slade her wedding dress and wished that

She was born sixty eight years ago in
Boston. Her father was a poor Jewish

Elise who was to be queen, had a
natural talent for singing. So had her
younger sister. When the elder Was six
teen years old she gave a concert in
Springfield, this state. where the family
were then living, and It was her intro
duction to the musical world.
The old tailor, eager for the success of
his daughter. took her to Europe soon
after she was eighteen years old. She
sang at La Scala and then in New
York.

Of Don Fernando, the king, and he sat
IN the royal box with his eyes fastened
upon the fair American on the stage.
1t was q night OF triumph for the
