mous-sang for the first time in public
the part of Lucia in that fine old opera,
'The Bride of Lammermoor," to a New
York audience. As the Scottish hero
;ne, of course, Adelina was compelled
10 cover up her ebon braids with wig
of flaXen hair. Later on she reached
New Orleans. In that city Patti, with
her sister Carlotta and her brother
Carlo, had spent her early childhood,
and she knew and loved nearly all of
those who came to greet her as an OPP
cratic star at the French opera house.
just before the curtain rose on the
opening night Mr.. Strakosch. who was
to conduct the opera, appeared in the
greenroom and was amazed to find the
pride of Lammermoor waiting to go
on the stage with her own black tresses
waving down her back, instead of the
pale. corn-colored locks of the Scottish
lassie.
"Why, Addie, what does this mean?"
excitedly inquired the great impresa-
rio.
''That I am going TO wear my own
hair tonight" answered the budding
prima donna.
But you must not. 1t is inartistic,
inaccurate, absurd"
''Oh, no. il is not absurd" calmly
responded Patti. MY old friends in
New Orleans only know me as black
haired, skinny little Italian, and not as
golden-crowned Scotch girl. Besides,
Will not disguise myself tonight to
please anyone"
The distracted manager argued, pro-
tested, threatened and cajoled, but
"Addie' stood firmly TO her purpose.
A tremendous welcome was accorded
the youthful diva, but the audience
greeted Lucia not as fair-polled bride,
but as their own "black-haired. skinny
little Italian. Chicago Chronicle.

lean heroine, enduring patiently priva-
tion incident to life on the frontier,
where her husband, as Maj. Taylor. was
stationed. She had no ambition beyond
making her home happy.
a blond of rare beauty was Mrs. Mil
lard Fillmore, with a skin of dazzling
whiteness and auburn hair. She was
quite tall, with fine figure and of COM
manding presence. She is ranked with
the wives of the two Adamses as
learned woman, and it was through her
that her husband asked for and OBJ
tanned an appropriation of congress to
Suy books for the white house. Up to
that time there had been Bible there,
and little more.
Another woman of rare beauty was
Mrs. Franklin Pierce. She also had
many accomplishments. She was very
refined and quiet, stunning society.
Mrs. Abraham Lincoln as a girl was
very attractive and she had many suit
ors. When she became the mistress
of the white house she was "fair and
forty,' That she wTs the successor Of
the popular and accomplished Miss
Lane was not point in her favor. At
the first levee she appeared in pink
silk, decollete, short-sleeved dress and
floral headdress, which ran down to
her waist and destroyed what comeli.
ness simplicity might have given her.
Mrs. Andrew jackson possessed the
beauty of face aG form which rem
dered her mother one of the most beau
tiful of women. Mrs. Grant wds a
blond of delicate figure, rather below
middle stature. Mrs. Hayes was of very
attractive appearance. Mrs. Garfield
was noted for her tact, and her hus,
band once said that he never had to ex
plain away any words of his wife.
Mrs. Arthur, who died before her hus
band became president, was known al
"the beautiful Miss Herndor with the
marvellous voice" before her marriage
Mrs. Harrison was fair as girl ant

WIVES OF PRESIDENTS.
Personal Appearance of the Charm-
ing American Women who Have
Ruled the White House.

or mistresses of the white house one
of the most popular was Mrs. James K.
Polk. Like Mrs. Cleveland, she was
a brunette, and of fine presence; it was
often remarked that not a crowned
head in Europe could queen it more
royalty than the wife of the republican
president. Poets penned verses in her
honor, and on the last Sunday of her
stay in Washington a clergyman ad-
dressed her from the pulpit. She was
treated with great distinction, and aft
er leaving the white house was visited
every New Years day by the Legislature
in a body.
Mrs. George Washington also had
dark hazel eyes and brown hair. She
was not beauty, but she had good
form, rather below middle weight, and
her manners were frank and engaging.
She dressed plainly, and at ball given
in her honor she wore a simple russet
gown and white handkerchief about
her neck. One of her dresses, which she
herself manufactured, was of cotton,
striped with silk, which she obtained
from ravelings of brown silk stockings
and old crimson chair covers.
Mrs. Monroe was considered beauty.
She was tall and gracefully formed,
polished and attractive in society. Mrs.
John Adams was never beautiful, but
she was of imposing appearance and
very intellectual.
Mrs. John Quincy Adams was famed
for her charming manners, and Mrs.
Andrew Jackson for her amiable tenn
per and kind heart. Mrs. Martin Van
Buren,. who died before her husband be-
came president, was a pretty woman,
with modest, unassuming manners and
gentle disposition.
The first Mrs. Tyler was one of the
bellies of eastern Virginia, and was mosa
attractive in her striking loveliness of
person and character. The second Mrs.
| Tyler was the first woman to marry a
president. Before her marriage she
was. for the one season she spent there,
the belle of Washington.
A sparkling brunette was Mrs. Will
liam Henry Harrison. She was very
handsome, with a face full of anima,
ton, and her health, which was robust
added glow to her features, which in.
creased her charms. Upon her coun
tenance," it is recorded, mature had
been profusely liberal"
Mrs. Thomas Jefferson was remark
able for her beauty. Her complexion
was brilliant; her large, expressive eve:
of"the richest tinge ofauburn." Alittle
above medium weight, she was slightly
and delicateiy formed. She danced
sang. played the spinnet and harpsi
chord and rode with great skill.
Mrs. James Madison was a pretty
buxom woman, with smile and a pleas
ant word for everyone. She had regu
lar features and sparkling eyes.

woman, but had great strength of char

Lucia iii Lnmmermoor Impersonnted
by Little Adelinn Patti in
Raven Tresses.

Quite recently, at her dainty little
theater at Craig Y Nos, Nine. Patti ap-
peared as Lucia di Lammermoor. She
dispensed with wig in this part. for
she has bleached her own raven locks
a fiery gold. This fact is significant
and recalls this same Lucia, these same
"raven locks and rare performance

Orleans \pe night in the early COS.

The crowd began to gather as soon as the
man fell down. One of the thoughtful ones
ran to drug store aand rang up an ambu-

ing and Gathering was heard down the

the Washington Post.

to the crowd. Anybody here know him ?"
There was no reply, but just as the ambu-
lance men were about to pick up his pros
trate man a stout man pushed his way
through the crowd, glanced at the limp form
of the victim of the heat, and said:

PRESERVING SEASON.
Suggestion Regarding Putting Up

by Wise Housekeepers.

In putting up fruit see that all the
essentials are on hand before beginning

economy of time to buy sugar in % or
5o-pound bags, for you will need it right
along, suggests a writer in the Wash

Have Il half pound of paratfin on hand
for covering jellies, several long-han-

of cheesacloth and towels, ard large

The size of the cans to be used ma.
depend largely on the size of the fam
