saws Max O'Rell. she has everywhere
the reputation of being a most mod
est. retiring, unselfish woman, very
devoted and submissive wife and a
most tender mother. For that matter
sne is a good wife and mother. Her
husband believes in her until some
mnexpected event causes her to appear
IN her true colors and to reveal her
,lf a eonceited and selfish woman.

Many years ago, says the February
Pilgrim. a poor little Polish girl, ill
clad. i'll fed, cold and weary, was de-
voured by a desire to hear the singing
Of Adelina Patti, the greatest soprano
Of her time. The poor little Polish girl
could not afford to buy a reserved seat
for that performance, yet somehow she
must hear it, for perhaps never again
would the radiant queen of song come

city, and SO the poor little Polish girl
gathered up the savings of many

sleepess nights and ptiable drudgery,
hammering her little fingers to numb
ness playing dance music for well-to-

clutched in those same tired fingers she
stood for five hours in the bitter cold
with the line of people waiting for the
GALLERY entrance to open.
Then with the crowd, pushing and
painting. she was thrown, trampled,
beaten up the stairs, her little savings
gone and the precious ticket given up.
till she found herself huddled away in
a corner of the GALLERY. And then she
heard Patti and for two brief hours. the
sordid earth became a paradise, such
a paradise as the poor little Polish girl
hoped to reach, perchance, beyond the
portals of death.
To-day Adelina Patti is growing old
and has left the operatic stage, and
the poor little Polish girl is everywhere
acclaimed as the greatest woman sing
er of the time. Cor the cold. tired, hun
