Now. however. It Is a drawins-room-
which is a source OF much gentle Joy to
all Of US.
Clara said ''drawing-room' the very first
day she came to US.
When one Of the family spoke OF going
into the 'parlor' Clara regarded that one

MUSIC AND MUSICAL TRAINING.
THE OPERATIC ARTIST.
Upon Mental and Bodily Energies
Often Thin Ranks of Ambitious in This Work.

ence In how far noted singers possess
these traits of temperament lies the extent
of their sway over audiences
Without some or a fair proportion Of all
these characteristics. the public singer, espe-
cially in opera, finds 1t hard to attain or
maintain a wide reputation.
Physique has also a good deal to do with
the successful career Of the stage vocalist
A moments thought will show that it can
not possibly be otherwise. Only those who
have themselve. gone through the hard
drill required before a good first appear

hours.
It is now we'll known how beneficial the
exercise OF singing Is to the development Of
the chest muscles and the health of the
lungs; the singer Is, nevertheless. not ex-
empt from attacks of cold and hoarseness.
as all artists and impresari know only too
we'll
How often a protracted chill or trivial
accident cuts off an otherwise promising
career is a sad. and oft-told tale.
Few among the audience guess the fuii
extent Of the mental and physical strain
involved In the fulfllment Of such a role
as that OF Carmen for instance. :.
Again, the versatility of energies required

heroine like that Of Gounod's Marguerite

TIETJENS'S CAREER.
II is pathetic to note that the career OF
Tie,iens was cut short by an internal dis
ease no doubt brought on by that arduous
course which she imposed upon herself OF
faithfully fulfilling her engagements even
when excusably indisposed. Her last stage
appearance as Lucrezia is still remembered
by many She carried 1t through with thrill
ing brilliancy. even though on the eye OF
trying operation: her friends and the de-

The youthful environments of a child vo-
ca,ly gifted have much to do with the
choice of an operate career
Nearly all our greatest operate artists
have grown up in an atmosphere OF music
and particularly yocalsIl-and at an early
per,oa in their lives they have been brought
into touch with histrionic matters. either
through the connection of relatives with
ths stage or by the influence OF preceptors
