won a place in the hearts of the music
lovers of the city which she yet retains.
A few years after her initial appear
ance in the city she was heard at the

owing to the fact that she had sur
rounded herself with a number OIL musi-
clans of inferior me-it who occupied
places on the program the audience did
not get to hear as much of the NOrdiea
music as they had expected and were
disappointed.

all the rarest musical gifts, the pet of
every opera house in Europe and the
idol of New Yorks exclusive set that
fill the golden horseshoe at the Metro
politan opera house. She is a master of
the truest artistic interpreta tons; she
is the best equipped vocalist in the
musical world.
Always a delight to the eye, she was
never more so than she is today. In
superb health, she is physically as
typical a daughter of the gods" as she
is the very queen of song.

This is the only great artist We

which is $500 less than is paid for it in
