changes and developments in musical
knowledge with which she will be con-
fronted. provided she goes anywhere out

she will know nothing about them. Patti
audiences In America will be composed
almost wholly OF people who wish to see
the celebrated singer, not to hear her
About 10 per cent. Of each audience will
consist OF persons who believe in the Home
Sweet Home" tradition, and have travelled
many weary miles to have Patti make
them cry.
The entire name OF this singer IL Adela

In the second part of the entertainment
she appeared in a little one-act opera, which

Nine. Roger-Miclos went TO the Kneise
Quartet concert the other night and sat
with an expression of bored federation on
her countenance. No doubt it was hard
for her to endure such playing. so different
in style from her own. Also she wore
a hat, and observant humans at once knew
why she trimmed herself up in Greek style
for concert appearances. Without the
Psyche knot Mime. Roger-Miclos Ia not
even early English. She needs the atmos-
phere of Roman courts, Of bare-headed
patios and fountained gardens. Also
she needs a whole lot OF perspective, and
that cannot be obtained in Mendelssohn
Hall.
She was accompanied b a tall blonde
young woman, with a swaying walk and
