Barilia, had sung Norma with great
ec,at In 1851 Patti. at the tender
age of s, was also singing. but her
real debut was in this city in 1859.
Her singing made furore; her sue
cess was instantaneous.
Seven years later she met Marquis
De Caux, of an honored French fam
| lily. They were both in love and a
marriage was arranged by no less a
parsonage than the Empress Eugene.
Then in 1871 she met the tenor
Ernesto Nicolini. For Patti he
changed the whole current of the
diva's life. Signor Nicolini was "a
singer of no very remarkable ability.
The great songstress loathed the man,
who persisted in following her all
over Eur iae, though there was a Sig
nora Nicolini and several little Nico-
linis.
Loved the Young Tenor.
But Nicolini was persistence itself.
He was a friend of the Marquis de
Caux. who found out one day how
matters stood. He forbade the sing
err the house. This made the diva
furious. He also refused to allow
his wife to sing. This was the last
straw. They separated A divorce
was finally obtained in 1884 The
Nicolinis were made twain, too
Then Patti and Nicolini were mar
ried- 1t was then Nicolini grew in
the estimation of the world. He
loved his new wife devotedly He
was the lover-like husband always.
And Patti loved him, TOO. When

the woman with the wonderful voice
What care he-or she for that matter
about little difference in age?
They were married, Craig-y-nos was
sold and the happy pair retired to a
new castle in Norway, where they
dwell yet, happy as larks.
Never was there a happier mar
riage than that of the late Baroness
Burdett-Coutts and William Lehman
Ashmead Bartlett, 81 years her jun
ior, now styled Ashmead Burdett-
Coutts. He was Brooklyn boy of
modest lineage and more modest for
tune.
Married Youthful American.
The baroness possessed a fortune
Of Inany millions of pounds sterling
and was a partner in Coutts bank,
one of London's Oldest financial insti-
buttons. She Immediately settled an
annuity of the interest on S1,250,000
upon the young Brooklynite. He in
turn, changed his name to Burdett-
Coutts.
1t was the happiest of marriages.
The young husband was all devotion
to his wife, who in turn was tremen-
dously interested in his career She
made him almoner of all her vast
schemes of charity; sha advanced him
in politics until he got seat in parlia-
ment
When she died, at go, last Deem
Der, her husband was grief stricken.
Another International love match

this case the bride was the American,
the bridegroom the British subject.
