Most of the singers at the Metropolitan
Opera House pass their summer vacations
in a way that will prepare them for the
work they arc to get through during the
ensuing winter. In the accompanying
pictures they are shown going through
these preliminary PAGES New Workers
are enjoying in their fresh voices and
sustained art the results of thcir recrea-
ton.
Nine Sembrich is an example of the
direct connection between summer vaca-
tions and performances at the opera house.
Nothing is more important to great
singer than complete control of the breath.
1t is inability to control the breathing that
leads many singers to leave the stage long
before their voices are impaired. They get
too stout or they accumulate too much
flesh about the lungs. Then they are not
able TO sing well any longer.
Nine Semhrich, who lives most rigorous
life during the winter to keep herself in good
condition, believes that there is nothing so
good for the breathing apparatus as AL
pine climbing. That keeps the muscles
about the diaphragm and the lungs in

finished their labors for the summer and
would not have to sing again for several
months.
The party were in high spirits after lunch

Baron Cederstrom, and his young sister.
The three men arose and assumed the
pose shown in the picture. Then they

her.
They were not allowed to sit down at the
table, however, until they had posed for
her in Just the attitude they had assumed
when she stepped from her motor and they

Olive Fremstad spent last summer in
France for the first time. Previously she
had always gone to Germany, and usually
she has sung at the Prince Regent Theatre
in Munich.
Miss Fremstad had a new plan for her
vacation last summer, however She
wanted to study two roles that had never
before been in her repertoire. One OF
these was Toscd, commonly sung by
| soprano and the other Brdnnhtlde in "Sicg-
| fried, which lies as remote from the ordi-
( nary repertoire Of n rneazo-soprano.
/ To do these things she wanted the aid
/ of certain skiiful Paris teacher. 1t was
! thus impossible for her to do more than
make brief excursions into the country, in
which she usually spends all her time of
! freedom from work.
The only thing to solve such a compli-
Gated situation was a motor. Miss Frem-
stad is shown in the photograph as she
steps into her motor prepared to take a
run to Mont dor, whore she passed the two
weeks of real vacation.
Next year when there are no troublesome
thoughts of new roles to disturb her mind,
and she need not have before her the neces-
sity of stretching a mezzo-soprano register
over a high soprano compass, Miss Frem-

not demand dowries with their brides
The girls come alone land in a strange
country among people speaking an I'M
known tongue and are plunged Immediately
into tho life and death struggle of earning
their bread.
"They find that rich husbands are no
more plentiful here than In Russia, and
that even though the men do not demand
dowries they are so busy earning their
own livings that they have no time to think
of getting married. Many girl who has
come to me with all the symptoms of nos

'My own private theory in regard to

effective aid to the natural selection of desir- =

good condition, according to her theory
She is at least good argument in favor
of the plan. She spends all her summer
vacation in mountain climbing.
After her season of work is over she re-
turns to Europe for short stay at her
home in Berlin. BY the middle Of June
she is getting ready for Switzerland.
Accompanied by a woman friend and
maid, she settles down for two months
and a half in some resort remote from the
general run of tourists but abounding in
excursions. There are few regions in
Switzerland from Mont Blanc to the
EngaCline that she has not visited.
Few persons in the hotel ever know that
they are honored with so distinguished

dining room few of the guests ever see

country. Among the Jews nostalgia is
due to love of family.
IF Jew has not left family behind him
he will never come to us for the means to
take him back into the dangers and cruel
ties of life in Russia. II, however, his
family have been left behind and he sees
no immediate prospect of getting his loved
ones to America, he will do anything and
risk anything to get back TO them himself.
This is particularly true of the spring
months just preceding the Passover, the
great family feast of the Jewish people.
In the orthodox households Of Russia
absolutely the worst calamity that can
befall a family is to have any member,
and particularly the father, away from
home on this great occasion.
Every spring, then, as Passover draws
near men who during the previous months
have been we'll and cheerful, who have
worked steadily and have even laid up a
little money toward the desired object
of sending for their families, get to think
ing of the Passover table and the Pass
over ceremonies and of the wife and chill
dren gat hered about the Passover dainties
without them, and develop first class cases
of nostalgia.

they cannot sleep and they cannot keep

even lose their work through their lack
Of attention.
al have found that the best treatment
for the annual Passover nostalgia, for
the good ci the men themselves, is a firm
refusal of the coveted transportation.
Any man getting it would undoubtedly
sacrifice all the ground he had gained in
America, throw up everything and go
back to the old hard conditions in Russia
which had originally sent him to America
in search of fortune.

ing hard and getting together enough
money to buy ticket back home, and,
instead, he often gets interested in his
business again, surrenders his dream of
Passover at home in favor Of still larger
dreams for the year following, and often
succeeds in getting his family out to him
by the arrival Of the next feast.
"The greater number Of nostalgia cases
are among men, because as a rule the
Jewish father comes to America ahead
OF his family to establish himself before
bringing on the others, but have seen a
great many girls who were desperately
homesick.
"In Russia the old maid is practically

every kind of literary ware The advantage
to the unknown writer is of course obvious;
to the expert story steller it is simply relief
from the trouble of placing work. Be-
tween the two classes Of writer's, the great
| unknown and we'll, writors like Gertrude
Atherton, there is an enormous number OF
men and women whose work is more or less
in evidence, but to whom the return of
manuscript means great disappointment.
"The knowledge of the kind Of story
each magazine or publisher wants is pro-
fessional item in itself, and comes only
from constant intercourse and continual
following out of changes of policies for
which the average writer has neither time,
inclination nor training. The commission
charged, therefore, really comes as much
under the head of mental relief as anything
else.
"Of course the personal equation cannot
be overlooked. 1t is not always art for
arts sake. Nearly every magazine and
publishing house has its favorites and favor
