Melba in Paris.

Nine. Melba has seldom received
such a remarkable ovation as that
which greeted her appearance at the
recent opera gala performance in
Paris. 1t cannot, however, compare
in delirious enthusiasm with one she
received some years ago in st. Peters
burg. On one memorable night, after
the close of the opera, she was called
before the curtain again and again
for more than an hour, until she was
so exhausted that she could scarcely
stand. Her enthusiastic admirers
then followed her carriage to the ho-
TEL where they serenaded her, al
though it was a bitterly cold night,
until three o'clock in the morning. On
the following day when she reached
the station to depart the platform was
crowded with hundreds of adoring
music lovers. AS the train was leav-
ing they took the pencil with which
she had written her autograph for
all who could get near her, bit 1t into
small pieces and passed them around
as souvenirs.
