CAREFUL OF THEIR VOICES.
Public Singers Forego Many Pleas
ures for the Sake of Their Art.

-
ures for the Sake of Their Art.
Adelna Patti has led life of self
denial for the sake of her voice. AS q
young girl she never had any of the plea
sures which fall to others Parties. dane
ing and fun of every kind were denied
her. Her father and her brother-in-law.
nj. StrakOsch, who was also her impre-
sario, were in constant fear that she
would fatigue her voice. One can mag
inc how bright and lovely a child Patti
was, how eager her delight in innocent
pleasure, yet pleasure had to be fOrgOne
AS to girlish firtations until she married
the Marquis de CauX at "A the little diva
had been kept almost like a nun at home
and knew absolutely nothing of the
world. The pleasures of the table were
not for her. She used to eat only plainly
cooked meat and toast, so that even the
slightest indigestion would not impair the
clearness of her voice.
On ordinary days, when Patti has to
sing IN opera at night, she dimes off beef
and potatoes and baked apples at about
$3.50 p. M, for beef is said to give force
and apples smoothness to the voice
After dinner the prima donna fasts until
she sings, taking between the acts of an
opera homeopathic doses of phosphorus
and capsicum, both of which are bene-
fetal to the throat If tired a cup of
Patti never speaks word on the DAYS
when she has to sing. Nor does Nine
Albani, who otherwise takes less care
Of her voice than the diva and fears only
indigestible food, salmon, nuts and such
like. Both declare they never even ''look"
at tea, which hardens the vocal chords
Between the parts of concert or opera
