shortly afterward married the young
Princess Yourievski, morganatic
daughter of the deceased Car Alexan-
der H., living with her mother in high
Partisan society. And Lima Cavalieri
remained "the most beautiful woman
of Europe!"
Here the devoted sister interviewed
with force from her humble employ
ment at Genoa.
Too Beautiful for Governess.
On leaving the Roman convent
school three years after her elder sis
ter had quilted it, Ada Cavalieri Ito
give her the family name adopted and
made famous by the other) had to face
the same hard proposition that con-
fronted Lima.
She was quite as beautiful as Lima
Indeed-as you shall learn, If you have
not already heard 1.-THE sisters look so
much alike that photographs of one
have been mistaken for the other.
Also, she had a voice. Yet she never
hesitated. She had been educated for
a governess. 1t was correct and hon
orable to be governess. And a gov
erness she would be. Even after she
had lost her first three places by a
strange and unique fault she never
wavered.
Surely, IL was a unique fault.
This young girl is too beautiful to
be a governess," wrote her first en-
ployer to the superioress of the school
as she returned her. Her conduct has
been irreproachable. She is goodness
itself, intelligent, patient and with a
talent for teaching. Yet | will not
keep her. Her presence cannot but
prove a danger In a household"
At last a good and generous lady
beautiful enough herself not to be jeal-
Gus of another's beauty-took the per-
secuted Signorina Ada as teacher for
her two small children. I may not
give her name; she was the wife of a
foreign consul.
Ada Cavalier had watched her bril-
liant sisters triumphs with uneasy
wonderment that grew to terror.
Old maids are born-not made. In
spite of her dazzling beauty-the same
beauty line for line that had made
Lima famous-Ada had, from the be-
ginning, all the frigid timidity, the
chaste tranquility and the hard judg-
ments, both for herself and others, OF
the born old maid.
She had fought with Lima to give up

the music hall career. She had never
ceased bombarding her with letters OF
expostulation. Later on she compro-
missed.
Urged Sister Onward.
"If you will not give up the stage, be
real artiste!" was her final appeal.
When Lima had begun studying with
Nine. Mariani-Masi she began to hope.
And when at last Lima was to make her
debut In grand opera at Lisbon she
was waiting anxiously to learn the re-
suit.
When she learned the pitiful result
Ada Cavalieri took a great decision.
Quitting her place at Genoa she hurried
to Paris.
She settled down beside her wound
ed and reckless sister. Did she try to
comfort her? How could the born old
maid comfort her? But it is certain
that the frigid Ada wrestled with the
fiery Lima seven days-and triumphed!
Grooming in spirit like the camel,
Lima again renounced the easy life and
money of the music halls. Again she
took up the burden of grand opera.
Love, with great shining eyes, no long
er beckoned her. But on and on she
bore the burden, with her sister always
by her. How she finally succeeded is
well known.
In 1901 she was singing the principal
part of Mimi in Puccini's "Vie de
Boheme" at no less an opera house
than the San Carlo of Naples. Next she
secured brilliant engagement for an
entire season at the Imperial theater
of MISUNDERSTANDING Violetta in "Trav-
iata," Marguerite in Faust" Mimi in
"Vie de Boheme"-and taking fine re-
venge on the cruel Lisbon public by an
overwhelming triumph as Media.
Succeeding years confirmed this sue

cess, and artistic and social satisfac-
tons of grand opera ceased to cost her
anything financially. On the contrary,
she had never done so well in the halls.
At the Theater of Ravenna, at the
Grand Theater of Palermo, at the
Opera of st. Petersburg, and notably
at the ultra-artistic Casino-Theater at
Monte Carlo she has had repeated en-
gagements. In Russia she is all the
rage. Her own country of Italy has
taken her to its heart.
And she has bought mansion in the
Avenue de Messine for her Paris resi-
dence!
During her present summer vacation
she will furnish it herself-a work Of
peaceful satisfaction.
Beautiful Old Maid.
It is a quiet street and rich-the
Avenue de Messine. 1t is a short
street of only "a numbers, running
from the statue of William Shake
speare in the little square of the Boule-
ward Haussmann to the delightful Pare
Monceau, surrounded by its palaces.
1t is. a street of the newly rich, per-
haps: few great titled families live in
It. But those who inhabit 1t are snug
and at peace with the world. Well.
among all, there will be none more
snug than most glorious old maid.
You know who it is. There can be
but one such-"the most beautiful old
maid in the world"
Ada Cavalieri takes charge Of Lina's
Paris mansion. That she is so like her
sister will not strike Parisians-be-
cause they will not see her. When she
goes out she will dress in sad, plain
clothes. And where she goes-to
church for the most part-Parisians
will not follow.
In her own way she is happy. Is II
not strange Here is beauty gone to
waste, you will say. Well, Judge for
yourself. Some time ago the somber
sister had a skittish moment. 1t In
cited her to prove her equal beauty.
How she dressed in one of Lina's
gowns and posed to one of the first
Paris photographers as her famous sis
ter is a tale that has been more than
once told.
For a time the counterfeit present
ments circulated In commerce, being
practically undistinguishable from pho
tographs of Lima Cavalieri. Nowadays

LOVE, HOPE AND WORK

There was riot in front of the curtain
and panic and determinations behind it,
and in a row that would not have been
out of place in a Latin quarter cafe
Lima Cavalieri and Alexander Baratin-
ski spoke their parting words.
We know no more than this. Was
it one of loves hateful treasons? Was
it desertion in the hour of need? The
girl had worked and shaved to please
him. The world would have liked to
see him stand manfully by her in her
hour of failure. That Lima has never
accused him proves nothing. She may
have been too proud-or she may have
been in the wrong. And, note, that
Baratinski never defended himself
proves nothing. He may have been too
chivalrous or he may have had no
excuse.
Baratinski fed to his yacht. Simply
that.
Cavalieri moved with dignity to the
railway station. On her lonely trip
from Lisbon to Paris by the Sud Ex-
press, accompanied only by a faithful
maid, the company disbanded-who
knows what bitter thoughts may have
been hers? All, work that had all gone
for nothing! Really, i know of no
more pathetic figure than that of the
disabused and lonely girl returning to
Paris.
A few weeks later in Paris she
learned that Prince Alexander had al
lowed his Paris apartment to be sold
out by the sheriff. The young folks
never met again. Prince Alexander

Paris.-That 1.-THE most beautiful
woman of Europe" may be discomfort
ed with her job is shown by the ex-
traordinary case Of Lima Cavalieri.
AS a music hall star Of the first
magnitude she was flattered and feted.
She had but to show her beautiful per-
son and MARBLE few ditties to earn
heavy money. The world had prac-
tically told her that her loveliness was
all-sufficient without talent.
Lima Cavalieri tossed aside the brill
liant sinecure and plodded the hard
road leading to grand opera. Mnen
Parisians learned it they shrugged at
the impractical choice and as good as
forgot her. Now she has just given
them a mighty jolt by coming back as
grand opera star, with a rumored
engagement at the Paris opera itself;
and furthermore she has just bought
splendid mansion in the Avenue de
Messine. But why she grew discon-
tented with being 1.-The most beautiful
woman of Europe" and how she threw
up the music hall sinecure on the Off
chance of succeeding in grand opera
remains a secret.
The secret spring Of Lina's change
of base began with great hope, con-
tinued through a great despair and
ended in great devotion. The hope
and the despair were those of worldly
love. But the devotion was that of a
sister.
Nothing could be more striking than
the contrast between the lives chosen
by the two girls. When their widowed
mother died in Rome in 1889 Ada was
10 years of age and Lima II. AS there
were no relatives and the property was
small, friends put them in a convent
school of aristocratic connections,
whose side speciality was the edu-
cation of poor girls of good family for
governesses and companions.

CITIZENS POINT OUT
NEEDS OF GEORGETOWN

With the idea OF presenting the needs
OF their section, the West Washington
Citizens Association yesterday after
noon entertained the three District
Commissioners with a trip through
Georgetown and along the Conduit road.
II was the intention Of the association
TO secure pledges of support for i'm
proYements needed all over that section.
and that they succeeded was atteSted in
the keen interest manifested by the
Commissioners in various places pointed
out TO them as needing attention.
The party proceeded through George
town, where the greatly congested con-
dition of NJ street. from Twenty-ninth
to the Aqueduct bridge, was made plain.
The association contends that If Pros
pect street is opened TO the junction Of
Foxhall road ii will open another ave-
nue. of traffic over the Conduit road to
Great Talls and points in Montgomery
county. Md.
The need of properly lighting the Con-
duit. Foxhall Ridge, and Canal roads
was brought to the attention of the
Commissioners by President Gordon.
who referred TO IL as dangerous to life
and limb.
