The Great Prin1a Donna Was Full OF
Mischief and Caprice.
no prima donna was ever more de-
lighfulIy capricious, more full Of mis-
chief, than the famous Nine. Malibran.
At the rehearsals Of Romeo and Ju-
net'' she could never make up her

It was important for Romeo to know,
but all he could get was mot sure" :"

compelled to "die' beside her, and
thus, when the curtain fell, couple Of
footmen had to carry the pair of, one
at time, to the intense amusement Of
the audience.
John Tempieton, the fine old Scottish
tenor, was probably never SO miser-
able as when he was cast to sing with
Malibran. Very often she was dis
pleased with his performance, and one
evening she whispered to him, "You
are not acting properly; make love to
me better" to which, 80 it IS said,
Templeton innocently replied, Don't
you know am a married man" EVt-
deutly the lady Gid not think there
was anything serious in the cdrcuna-
stance, for not long afterward, when
IN "Somnambula" she was on her
knees to Templeton as Elvino, she sue
ceeded in making the tenor scream
with suppressed laughter when he
should have been singing by tickling
him vigorously under the arms.

Cut eight or ten inch pieces Of yellow
soap into bits and put it over the FIRE
to dissolve In q couple Of quarts Of wa

have been removed. Then rinse 1t In

Cover It with two coatings OF the

dry before putting on the second coat.
Then give it several coats Of the en-

will no longer be an unsIghtly object
Care must be used not to run hot water
