De Reske, Artist and Man.


Mr.. De Reszke's voice is neither powerful
nor of remarkable quality. 1t is a true
tenor, however, and ranges two Octaves to
the high c, which he uses but rarely and
only with ramati purpose. His voice pro-
duction is without fault, and his phrasing
the most beautiful L have ever heard. His
acting is graceful, fervent and manly. But
the real secret of his art lies in it's high in
telligence. Everything he does is planned
to give to the audience a subtle. poetic and
convincing Interpretation of character. In
private life Mr.. De ResZke is a charming
unaffected, kindly gentleman. He is the
essence of refinement and good fellowship.
He speaks English. French, German, Ital-
ian and Russian, in addition to his native
tongue, and there is no society in which he
would not be welcome. He has a magnih-
cent estate in Poland near Warsaw, and a
beautiful home in Paris, where he lives in
the winter. He owns a fine racing stable.
and his colors are borne by many winners
on the Russian turf. His wife, who is a
countess in her own right, is a beautiful
and accomplished woman, who sings with
an exquisite art. but only in private. Final
ly. for the satisfaction of those TO whom
money talks, l may mention that Mr.. De
Reszke's honOrarium when he sings at the
Metropolitan Opera House is $500 a per-
Torrance, and that he is worth every cent

The unconcerned manner in which certain
nurses in Paris discharge their duties is
we'll known, but ii was left to the corre-
spondent of a French medical journal to
discover that at several public balls held in
Paris on Sunday afternoons il is quite a
common practice among nurses ~intrusted
with young children to deposit their charges
IN the cloakrOom while they enjoy a dance
with their friends. When a baby is handed
over a counter is given in exchange, and a
ticket with the same number, to prevent
mistakes, is pinned TO the child's frock.
When the ball is over the nurse claims her
baby and takes it home, assuring the con-
iding parents that she has been for ever
such a long walk.
