criticism of Miss Walkers rendition of this aria, invited her to come as a guest to Berlin and sing the role of Hicks.
 To this young American girl this propo- sition was almost overwhelming She had not yet appeared in opera, but she went faithfully to work upon the role.
 There were endless rehearsals and with Miss Rowley, her closest friend, she tramped over Dresden in her preparation for the great event. There were extra lessons with Orgeni lessons in dramatic expressions in fencing.
 Finally the day of days came, and the two American girls departed for Berlin. Madame Orgeni accompanied them.
 There was the agony of the first re- hearsal, through which Miss Walker came out victorious The director con- graduated her and the chorus looked upon her as something sacred. Not long afterwards she accepted the position of Imperial Royal Court Opera singer to His Majesty, the Emperor of Austria.
 This was five years ago and she has now signed a new contract for five years longer. She receives the largest salary ever paid court singer.
 Miss Walker makes her home In Vienna where she lives in all the magnificence NAhS most beautifully attired woman in Flu rope, and she enjoys the entree into the most exclusive circles.
 When singing at the private receptions for the Emperor she frequently remains for the private dinners usually attended only by royalty.
 On the occasion of the Czar of Russia s visit to the Emperor of Austria sometim e ago, Miss Walker was presented and the Emperor afterward sent her a magnifi- cent diamond bracelet.
 Two years ago when Schumann-Hein was i'll, Miss Walker was considered the only singer who could satisfactorily take the place of the world-famed artist.
 It was during the opera season in Lon don and MT. Grau telegraphed to Miss Walker of Schumann-H Heinks illness. The Emperor gave his permission for Miss Walker to go to London and Mir. Grau was anxious to bring her to New York, but her contract in Vienna would not permit her to consider the propos- tion, nor is it propable that Miss Walker desires to ever leave Berlin.
 There are peculiar advantages that she enjoys in both Austria and Germany.
 Contracts with opera singers are never made for less than three years, and they are required to appear not oftener than two or three times each week. They have long vacations.
 The opera begins at o'clock and by 10 o'clock a grand opera singer may be comfortably settled at home if she so desires For the artists who remain ten consecutive years In one place they re- eeive q lifetime pension.
 Should Miss Walker never return to this country, she will always be remembered by many Americans who knew her in Dresden before she attained fame. And there are frequent evidences that she holds those mem ories very dear. There is a little Birmingham girl who regards Miss Walker as a fairy god-mother, and for whom she was named.
 Miss Walker has never seen her youth full namesake but few anniversaries and holidays are allowed to pass without a

 ''No sculptor" said Mrs. Porter, "could n, ould a more perfect hand and yet the nails have been sadly neglected"
 The woman with the perfect hand de- clared that she manicured her hands re ligiously," at least that she had been do- ing so, for week or two, whereupon Mrs Porter said that this was just the point she had made.
