OUR BIG OPERATE COLONY.
Scarcely n Hotel in New York without q
singer Where the Artists Are.

Wv ~
New York never before had such an
operatic colony as it possesses this year. The
companies Of the two opera houses make
a group OF singers more numerous than
any other city in the world can boast, larger
even than the Milan colony when all the
unengaged singers in Italian opera go
there in the summer to seek engagements.
There is scarcely a hotel in New York
that does not shelter some singer from one
troupe or the other. The Hotel Savoy
Is again the home of Nine. Sembrich, who
has lived there for the last ten years.
This season Signor Caruso moved to the
same hotel in order TO be more alone than
he ever could be in the hotels in which
he formerly resided. He has previously
been the central figure in a little band OF
his compatriots, and he decided that he
would prefer to be a little less intimate
with them this year.
Nine. Cavalieri Is also n member OF the
Savoy colony. Geraldine Farrar and her
mother live at the Hotel Netherland. Bessie
ABBOTT, chapcroned by her mother and
sister, live at the Hotel Collingwood.
Nine. Homer is soon to buy a new house
on he ppe " est Side and lives now in
an apartment in that region. Nine. Bon
insegna is at the Hotel Flanders.
Bella Alten ives at the Hotel Belvedere.
where she is chaperoned by an aunt. Nine.
Fleischer-Edel. with her two children and
her husband, who is an electrical engineer,
lives in the Hotel " oodwsrd.
Give Fremstad has since her marriage
occupied an apartment in a new house on
upper Seventh avenue. Both Marie Rap
,old ap1 Marie MattfaId raa;da In Rro,Ll,u,
and Nine. Kirkby Lunn is a guest Of the
Hotel Navarro.
Charles Rousseliere and Andreas DIPPED
are both members Of the artistic colony in
the Hotel Majestic. Carl Burrian dwells in
the Hotel Astor and 80 does Pol Plancon.
Ricardo Stracciari is at the Hotel York,
which still possesses the same Italian chef
who made Signor Caruso and his cohorts
so long guests of the house. Antonio
Scott also continues to reside there, while
Anton Van Rooy and Alloys Burgstaller
cling to what is left OF the Gilsey House.
Regina Pinkert lives at the Marie An
toinette and Nine. Russ, tire other prima
donna Of the Manhattan Opera House COM
pany, is at the York. Nine. Donalda, who
is in private life Nine. Seveilhac, is at the
Hotel Latham, and Nine. Bressler- Gianoli
lives with a French family in West Thirty
eighth street.
Maurice Renaud is at the Gotham, where
Nine. Melba will put up when she comes
to New York. Signor Bonci is at an apart
ment house in Madison avenue. He keeps
house with his family, Signora Bone and
one Of his two children.
Vittorio Arimondi and Cleofante Cam
panini are guests at the Hotel York, while
Charles Dalmores lives in a French PEN
sion in West Twenty-fifth street, selected
because it Is near a gymnasium in which
he boxes every day. NJ. Dalmores is an
excellent boxer and in France has won
several amateur events. Signor Ancona
is included in the musical colony at the
Hotel York which is as popular with singers
of the present day as the Normandie was a
decade further back.

THE BUSINESS WOMAN.

The business woman of today re-
fuses to be mere appendage to a
mere man, a tender to a masculine
steam engine. In the dark ages man
was the unit and woman the cipher
10. Take away the man and nothing
was left but the decimal point. Wo-
man now feels herself to be something
more than man-trap. She refuses
to be moon revolving around a mas
culine earth-she will be a twin star
or nothing The era of feminine i'm
becility and cowardice is passing
away,
The above picturesque bit of verbal
chiaroscuro is the work of the Rev.
J. l. Scudder of New Jersey.
The competent girl able to earn her
own living is not entirely dependent
on some mans choosing her Tor on
her ability to trap him, if one agrees
with Mr.. Bernard Shaw for happiness
in life. If the right man does not
come along she wends her way
through the world alcne, not perhaps
quite as happily as if congenially
mated, but approximately as happy as
