The first base and head of the fam
ly enjoyed a hearty laugh when the
astrologer's predictions were explained
to him. He tucked the idea away in
a corner of his mind, however, and
when something more definite hap
pened it had an influence in deciding
the future singers career.
Miss Jerry's phenomenal voice was
brought to the attention of Charles A
Ellis, now secretary to Henry L. Hig-
ginson, the Boston millionaire patron
of music. Mr.. Ellis agreed to arrange
time for having the little Melrose
girl sing for Melba during one of the
prirna donna's visits to Boston.
Jerry appeared one afternoon in the
wings of the Boston Theater when a
rehearsal of opera was in progress.

functorily. waving her arm toward the
excited child.
"Wh-what song?" gasped the girl
/ letting fall her bundle of music and
stumbling over a chair in the dusky
twilight back of the stage.
Whatever you choose said Melba
who is accustomed to hearing young
musical prodigies perform, and ordi-
narily hears nothing worth while
The child selected a pathetic little
love song and sang it through, gath
ering courage with each note. Melba
listened attentively, and when the girl
finished she leaned over and kissed
her.
You are going to be Americas

work hard, little one you will make us
all look to our laurels.''
Then, turning to Mrs. Farrar, who

This enthusiastic approval of Melba
decided the fortune of the girl who
charmed the Emperor of Germany and
his court a week ago.
In 1893 Mr.. and Mrs. Farrar sailed
for Europe to complete the girls must
cal education. She studied for awhile
in Paris, and then went to Berlin to
finish under the instruction of Grail
ami. She mastered the German Ian
guage so well that Emperor William
remarked, You speak German like a
native"
The fame of Grazianis promising pu-
pill went out in the misical cities of
Berlin, and when the time came for
her first public appearance Melba, Nor
dica and other singers of note were
ready to enroll themselves as her pat
rons.
Miss Farrar's only fame in the
United States until recently was won
in a memorable appearance before
President and Mrs. Mckinley during
the Spanish war. 1t was the day that

"Oh, women will undergo almost any

Here is a good subject for a romance,
and 1t is an absolutely true story if
that is any help to the romance max
ers. The woman in the story is, Of
course, young and beautiful, and con-
sequently had many lovers and friends.
Among these were two young men
who called upon her frequently. The
story does not relate the intentions of
! the two and whether or not they were
| both seriously enamored of the young
lady. They were intimate friends. and
| it is implied that this was one reason
why both called so frequently at the
same house. However, that may be,
one of the young men was seriously in
love, proposed, and was accepted by
| the young woman. With the an
nouncement of this important event
the second young man disappears for
! time from the story.
| Not once, says the New York Times,
did he call upon the young lady for
an entire year, during which time the
courtship progressed, the wedding day
was set and arrived. and the bride
was preparing for the great event.
when just an hour before that of the

and stopping her preparations she hur-

And what did he wishl No one
| would ever guess that such a thing
| could happen outside the pages of a
| sensational novel. He had come to tell
| the young woman how much he loved
her and to ask her to marry him. The
| sensation ended just where it began.
| The woman naturally refused this
| eleventh hour request, and went up
stairs, put on her wedding gown, was
married. and lived happy ever after.
1t only remains for Psychologists to

young maa and the feelings which
caused it.

covered by the old Romans at place
called Castanea, in Thessaly. They
called it the Castanea nut, whence
| comes our name of chestnut. Strange
to say, they held it in light esteem. and
the patricians would not eat it, leav-
ing ID to the common people. And the
common people soon found out now
good and nutritious it was, and 1t be-
came a regular article OF food with
them.
In Italy to-day the nutting time is
one of the important seasons OF the
year, for many of the people almost
depend on the chestnuts for their food.
So important is it that the schools are
required by law to have a,vacation at
that time so that the children may go
out and help the older people gather

excursion, but a regular industry.

and camp there for a month. During
this time they scour the woods every
day, men, women and children. each

from the waist, into which are put the

but gather only those that have fallen
out of the burrs. The nuts ripen under
the combined action of the sun and the
frost, and the burrs then open, and the
nuts drop to the ground. The crop is so
abundant that the gatherers always
find enough to keep them busy.
Some of the nuts are saved to be
eaten as nuts, but most of them are
dried and ground into flour, from which
a kind of porridge, calledN polenta, is
made. Little cakes, called necci, are
also made out of it.
The drying is done in huts built out
on the hills especially for that pur-
pose. The nuts are spread out on the
floor. and a low fire is kept in the hut
to give certain degree of heat which
soon dries them. The drying is merely
the evaporation of some of the water
from The nut by means of the warmth.

To Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt. IT.,
tremendous opportunity has been given.
She has been selected, says the New
York World. to entertain Prince Hen
ry, our royal guest at dinner. Hers
will be the only private entertainment
which he will accept while In America.
The reasons for this honor are lust
now of secondary Importance.
Primarily it must be considered as
the opportunity for which Mrs. Cor
nelius Vanderbilt must have hungered,
if she have not the soul of an angel,
ever since she defied all the Wander

to them was the Cornelius Vanderbilt
faction and the sheep who always fol-

Without having kept a note book.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., must
remember the names of those who
stood by her and those who snubbed
her.
The honor which has befallen her
lifetime, rare in the lives of most hu-
man beings.
1t is rare that a woman, without lift
ing her little finger, is presented with
an opportunity to retaliate while she is
still young and beautiful with the very
methods that once belonged to her enc
mics.
Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt holds the
whip hand.
And so simplei

private function he will be pleased to
attend during his visit to the United
States.
Behind this announcement what en-
mites are conjured up, what snubs are
recalled, what stab thrusts Turk!
Every one who is any one must long
for an invitation. And every one who
is any one must realize that it all de-
ponds upon the attitude her or she as
sumed when the Cornelius Vanderbilts
were more or less in disfavor.
AS it all happened less than six years
ago, even the younger set remembers
how lovely Grace Wilson and the cid
est son of the house of Vanderbilt were
married privately with the sanction of
the Wilson's and the bitter condemna-
ton of the Vanderbilts under the COM
membership of the late Cornelius him
self.
If Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt is not
wholly bent upon carrying a harp
among the angels she must already
have begun to figure upon who's who. "
BY every rumor she has already COM
pleted her list. So has every man, wo-
man and debutante in the 400.

from those who have no expectations.
