lNtllN lIlN todNi WIS usslstcQ from
,arrlage by a well built man whose
)carance denoted the nobility Of the
therland. 4 half dozen bell-boys
wded around N frantic endeavors to
II possession Of the suit cases and
id-bags that balasted the convey
@, while a gracious clerk opened
le the door Of the ladies' entrance
! bowed courteous welcome The
man glanced around for an instant,
cred her mouth and nose with
hIy pcrfumed lace handkerchief OBJ
lsly for the protection OF the deli
throat that has earned her mil
:, then swiftly disappeared within
doorway.
nd that was the last seen OF Patti.
hirty seconds later she had been
sked upstairs in the elevator and
removing her costly wraps, assisted
q maid, in the Knutsford's most
latial suite, The great diva and her
mpany arrived yesterday morning
I'd while even her husband the Ba-
bn Cedarstr0m has Joined the other
hembers OF the party in pleasureable
Jight-seeing, the songsress has re-
manned In her apartments, impervious
10 the attacks Of newspapermen add
Imiring friends, and hundreds OF curious
eyes trained upon her temporary home
with strong hope OF yet securing a
glimpse Of Patti off the stage" which
is at present the consuming ambition
OF Apollo's deyotees.
INTERVIEW IMPOSSIBLE.
An interview with the baroness is
quite as impossible az the age OF Ann
Her manager offers an explanation
which Is ut least ingenious, to-wlt AS
people make long journeys to hear the
wonderful voice and pay good price
for the privilege, they are entitled TO
that voice In its very best form, There
fore, be II known, Patti does as little
talking as possible-that talk being
confined TO her husband, manager and
Northumberland closets herself In her
own rooms so as to preclude the pos
sibility Of taking a cold or impairing
in any way whatsoever her vocal or
gans. ,hss
HAS NOT yENTURED OUT,
AS already stated, she has mt left her
hotel since her arrival, Moreover, she
has not opened her door She has de-
MED admission TO all and In so doing
has denied herself the pleasure of meet
ing old friends. All service Is in her
apartments. Though the dining room
has been thronged with anxious OBJ
servers, the nearest they have come to
satisfying their desires IL the sight of
her own servant carrying a tray across
the parlor floor 10 the apartments Of
the baroness.
' BARON Is GENIAL
Not so with the baron He Is a genial |
sort OF good fellow, who loves good |
company and has a tourists mania for |
seeing the sights. With all otner mem |
bers OF the organization, he attended |

Saltair, Drawing the chilly breezes for |
a sight Of the great inland sea,
WHY PATTI Is SHY"
"You know" says the baron, "the
baroness is not TO be blamed n she re-
fuses TO meet people. She loves con-
versation and all that as much as /, |
but by Jove she cannot afford the risk,
She has stood this tour wonderfully |
well, having had every convenience and |
luxury that human ingenuity could
supply, and we want her to finish II In
the same perfect health she now en-
joys"
"As to myself have enjoyed every
moment of the time immensely. / am
infatuated with America and l must
say like the west. I'm going to see
the lake now, IL you will kindly excuse
me, and then | may be able to tell YOU
more, BY the way would II be obJeC-
tlonable, do you think, II | filled my
pockets with salt out there. ! under
stand It Is plentiful" and with a io-
vial laugh the baron strobe rapidly
away to catch his train.
A TOUCHING INCIDENT
Only on one occasion during her tour
has Patti granted newspaper inter
view, and nobody has yet been able TO
explain the cause Of her good HUNDRED
departure, II was In Montreal. Canada,
quite recently. During her talk, she re-
lated that % years ago she sang In
that city and while rendering Home, !
Sweet Home" she observed an aged
couple near the front Tears We're
streaming down their faces and finally
as the last notes fingered In the hall,
the old man broke down completely and
did not regain his compOsure for sew
eral minutes.

singer declared, was sung 20 that old
couple. was never In my life 80 deep

ROSES FOR JEWISH BRIDE.
Another incident shows PATHS love-
able nature In brilliant colors and re-
latos TO the only time that she has been |
known to emerge from her apartments
except TO go 90 her work. In chi
oAgo the party secured apartments

evening Of their arrival a Jewish we'd
ding was IN progress In the parlurs adj
Joining those Of the distinguished guest.
Attracted by the morrymaking and |
oud laughter, Patti sent her maid TO
ascertain the cause, Upon hearing Of |
the wedding, the songstross tore apart
a large basket OF roses that had been
sent &c her and made the flowers over
Into "A huge bouquet, She then waited
or a favorable opportunity aud with
rs little ostentation az possible APP
preached the bride and personally made

she could withdraw and by quickly |
drawing door TO- one OF the wedding
party compelled her to listen 10 toast
In her honor, which was acknowledged
with beaming smiles and gracious bows
Manager Sucking comments upon
PATHS complete conversion 10 the
thought that her wonderful voice Is a

,wn efforts she gave to the manager
an autographed picture. Above her
signature, these lines appear "A beau
