All the world is wondering over the
announc cement that Nine. Adelina Patti
is to make another song tour, says the
! Rev. Thomas 3. Gregory in the New
York American and Journal. r.
The great prima donna was born in
1843 and is therefore at the present
time sixty years old. It is this latter
TACT that makes the world wonder
That woman threescore years Of age,
Sa woman who had won her crown as
queen of the opera before many of the
fathers and mothers Of today were
born, should be announced for sixty
concerts in this country the coming
faH Is something that the public can
not quite comprehend.
II Is mystery to us. Must there not
be some mistake? Can it be possible
that the Patti we are to hear in the
coming fall is the Patti who by her tall
tsmanic voice charmed our fathers and
mothers more than generation ago?
It is the same identical Patti. There
= no doubt about it. But can it be that
ahe can still sing? Undoubtedly she
sean sing, very superbly, else the best
Judges of vocal music in the world
would not pay her $500, 700 for the tour
$500 concert, $156 for each min
ute she is on the stage, $500 a second!
Yes, you may depend upon it that
Patti at sixty-can still sing and
sing like Patti. 1t is said that this
wonderful woman does not show her
age by twenty-five years. Not behind
the footlights, but out in the honest
sunlight she looks, we are told, like
woman Of thirty-five. What is the Sc
eret Of her youth and power? 1t is
what a great many people would like
t0know; it is what am now going to
tell the people. In the first place Pat
It's fine mental and physical condition
is the result Of PATHS own applied in-
teIligence and will power. u.
When she was mere child, she said
TO herself, Il will be young as long as
4 live" and she has bent every energy
and purpose Of her life toward the full
fllment Of that resolution. The great
.singerwas born with good sense, and
Nayiak that she realized that her first
thought should be about her physical
health. Accordingly she has always
taken excellent care Of her body. She
has never been drinker of alcoholic
liquors. She has always been a plain
liver, preferring to rich dishes the fare
that was wholesome rather than Elm
viting." She has from her earliest
youth been great stickler for outdoor
exercise. The winds have blown upon
her, the sunshine has bathed her. She
knows what it is to be in close and low
ing touch with the dear old Nature
whence comes the ozone Of life.
In the meantime Patti did not over
look the fact that she had q mind and
that it was the privilege OF that mind
to think and to revel in the immortal
conceptions Of the intellectually great
of all,ages. Nine. Patti is an unusual
