Those roses were immortal and Of course

many generations. Human nature Is about
the same In all countries and In all ages;
20 II may be imagined how that story of
ejectment was modified az time went on.
Not only was the souvenir bequeathed

came down along the lines Of Ewes

trait Of humanity was forcibly brought

In Thirty Years of Musical Life in Lon
don," by Hermann Klein, there is pre-
scented an interesting description of musical
life in England during the last three dec
AIDES, and the book is made all the more
attractive by the many portraits of famous
musicians which are reproduced. Inc
author one of the leading music critics
OF London for thirty years and his close
association with the concert singers, In
strumentalists and operate people of the
first rank, who either lived In the British
metropolis or appeared there professionally
from time TO time, has enabled him to
write entertainingly of hitherto unpub-
lished events In the lives of these musical
personages. He also gives interesting
studies of the temperament and character
OF many famous musicians.
Mr.. Klein devotes long chapter TO Patti
and. I'm view of that world-famous singers
present farewell tour of America, this
chapter Is among the most interesting in
the book TO American readers Patti tells
you that she never studied the art OF pro-
ducing the voice., writes Mr.. Klein. Ma
ture alone, and unaided. accomplished that
marvel. To keep the organ in perfect con-
ditiOn she has but to run over the scale ten
minutes every morning. Her vocaliZation
IS one of those miracles that cannot be ex-
planned. Its wondrous certainty and finish
are surely not arrived at without some Ia
Dor, but in the end the miracle seems to
have accomplished itself. Her ear is
phenomenal. She never forgets a tune and
will instantly name the opera or compost
ton In which it occurs. Another mystery
is the perennial freshness Of her voice,
which. after half a century of constant
use, retains well-nigh unimpaired the de-
liciOus sweetness and bell-like Jimbre of
early womanhood. No other example of
such perfect preservation stands on record
in the annals of lyric art. To analyze its
secret one can only say, here Is surely a
singer of marvellous constitution, heaven
gifted with a faultless method, who has
sedulously nursed her physical resources
and has never, under any circumste rces,
imposed the smallest undue strain upon the
exquisitely proportional mechanism of her
vocal organs"
Musicians will recognize Thirty Years of
Musical Life in London" as valuable ref
erence book and readers who do not follow
music professionally will find in it much to
enjoy. 1t is issued in attractive style by
the Century Company. New York.
