During the base ball season just ended the poor umpires received many LEMON, and after the sea- son was over couple of Waterbury base ball stock holders started Ill presenting each other with a LEMON, and we understand there are about three would-be state sena- tors of our beautiful city of brass ready to hammer each other with LEMONS. Then again we under stand there are quite a few or our city liquid dealers who would pc willing to present our honorable state policemen with a LEMON or two, and we doubt whether the dis pensers of the internal stun would be particular about the age or con dition of the LEMONS. But the most appropriate distribution of LEMONS lately are the ones given to the catch-penny trading stamps, they are getting them and they are the real sour ones, too. Nevertheless they are being distributed, and it's pretty near time, not only for the beneht or the purchasers. but also for the ben eft of the many people who have been compelled to eat the food stuffs sold because stamps" went with It. We do not believe in that way ci doing business; we believe in giving the very best quality possible for the price paid, and that's the time we secure good, sensible, solid GUS toner.

ceased bombarding her with letters Of
expostulation. Later on she compro-
missed
Urged Sister Onward.
III you will not give up the stage, be
a real artlste!" 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 IL is certain
that the frigid Ada wrestled with the
fiery Lima seven days-and triumphed!
Grooming in spirit like the camel,
Lima again renowned 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
err beckoned her But on and on she
bore the burden, with her sister always
by her. How she finally succeeded is
we'll known.
In 1901 she was singing the principal
part of Mimi in Puccinis 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 TRAY

overwhelming triumph as Media

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.

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 a 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, it was 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 l will not
keep her, Her presence cannot but
prove a danger in a household"

secuted Signorina Ada as teacher for

Ada Cavalieri 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-

anything financially. On the contrary,
she had never done so we'll 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.
1t is a quiet street and rich-ths
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 it are snug
and at peace with the world. Well,
among all, there will be none more
snug than a 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 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

once told.

eide against the teaching career Be-
sides her beautiful person, she had a
pretty voice; and even had the voice
been less her first appearance on the
music hall stage left no doubt as to
the kind of success she might expect.
In 1893 Lima Cavalieri was called
''the prettiest girl in Vienna" At the
famous Ronacher's she had enormous
vogue as beauty and wearer of mag
nificent toilets. She warbled a few
catchy ditties. And they were sufi-
cient.
In 1894 she was drawing all Paris
and the clubs contingent-to the
Folies-Bergere. She had discovered the
dressmakers and milliners of the Rue
de la Paix and was making the ac-
quaintance of the jewellers. The pho
tographers had sent her lovely face and
figure to the four corners of the earth,
and she began to be called "the most
beautiful woman of Europe"

Paris.-That "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 fattered and feted.
She had but to show her beautiful per-
son and MARBLE a few ditties to earn
heavy money. The world had prac-
tically told her that her loneliness was
all-sufficient without talent.
Lima Cavalieri tossed aside the bril-
liant sinecure and plodded the hard
road leading to grand opera. When
Parisians learned 1t 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
a grand opera star, with rumored
engagement at the Paris opera itself;
and furthermore she has just bought
a splendid mansion in the Avenue de
Messine. But why she grew discon-
tented with being "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 a great hope, con-
tinued through a great despair and
ended in a 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

Three years passed in work and love
and hope. Then Lina's chance came in
1900, when she was allowed to make
her debut at no less a musical center
than the Theater Royal of Lisbon as
Media in "Pagliacci."
Unhappily, the Lisbon public is a
hard one. When it pays for grand
opera it insists on having something
near perfection. The debutante was
young, exceedingly lovely, with a
sweet voice; but she showed inexperi-
