mere name and station. There is another
object in mind, also, which every bust
ness man who had ever conducted his
own correspondence will appreciate. The
details of the answers have been left for
each employ to work out for himself with
out ca techetical assistance; and the char
acteristics Of the writer reveal themselves
not only in the facts he sets forth, but
the way in which he states them. Every

THE CONDUCTORS WIFE.
II She Sings, Troubles Are Likely 10 In.
crease for the Impresario.


crease for tho Impresario.
This is to he year of conductors wives,
az well as Of new and distinguished prima
donnas Of the baton. as the eminent gentle-
men who direct orchestras are now called.
The wives Of Richard Strauss and Felix
Motif are public performers, and will
accompany them to this country.
Frau Strauss was a soprano at Wcimar
when her husband was conductor there.
She was known formerly as Pauline de
Alma, and she sang the lyric Wagner roles
at Bayreuth for at least one festival.
During the last few years she has devoted
herself almost exclusively to the singing
Of her husbands songs. of which she is
said to be an admirable interpreter. She
is to sing here during the coming season in
concert, alone and with her husband to
accompany her recitals Of his works.
The wife Of conductor who comes here
to take charge Of an opera season presents
difficult problem. The negotiations be-
tween Felix Mottl and Maurice Grau were
delayed and almost defeated by the i'm
presarios refusal to engage Nine. Mottl
to sing with his company. She is always
engaged when Mottl conducts in London,
and Is member of the company at the
opera house in Carlsruhe, where his repu-
tation was made.
Before her marriage she was Henriette
Standhartner and was a member OF the
company at the Imperial Opera House,
Vienna. After her marriage she went
to Carlsruhe to be under the direction of
her husband at the opera house there.
She has lately asked the direction to
allow her to leave the company, although
her contract has several years to run. Her
position there is said to have been made
unbearable since her husband left the
theatre that he made famous to come here.
She says that it has been impossible for
her to do herself justice in her profession
on account Of the annoyances she en-
counters.
She is to come here as soon as her release
has been formally granted. She is to appear
here In concert, but will not come until her
husband has rented a house and settled
In this city. He is to live in New York
for five years.
Possibly the complications which arise
over the wives of conductors supplied the
reason that led Herr Hertz to declare the
other day that he was most positively not
engaged to be married. in spite of the rumors
which reached this country from Gei eimany
during the summer. He knows that the
conductor with wife who sings is likely
to have more than the usual number Of
troubles

perfectly free to accept the suggestions or
not.
