Below you will find a good sample or
two Of the kind. Of stuff which artists
press representatives send to leading news
papers with the idea that they will be
printed as serious news concerning the
artist. They are reproduced here as thu
morisms:"
our customs officials exacted a duty
Of &.25 on Jack, Nine. Tetrazzini's prize
Blenheim, although this is the second time
that he has returned to this country with
the singer, and he was originally purchased
in New York at the dog show. Some Of
the singers friends are wondering II an
nual duty is to be imposed upon Jack, or
whether in time he will be considered as
an American citizen, and therefore exempt.
In that case, however, his various collars
and dog blankets may be taxed.
No less than 200 gowns were In those
trunks which the customs authorities fin
ally allowed Nine. Tetrazzini to bring into
this country, although of this number there
were, of course, many stage costumes
which were not new. One gown which
the officials were most anxious to declare
dutiable had been worn, as the singer
laughingly assured them, five years ago, in
San Francisco. The majority of this vast
number were, Of. course, for stage pur-
poses, for Nine, Tetrazzini likes to have
several sets of costumes for each opera In
which she sings, that she may vary them.
But her personal wardrobe, comprising, as
1t does, gowns for all occasions, including
morning, afternoon and evening concerts, is
sufficiently large to satisfy the heart Of
any woman, for the singer has a true fem
mime delight in clothes, and does not scorn
to participate with her sister women in
the joys of shopping. Six trunks full of
gowns left in London bear testimony to
her activities in that direction In London
last season"
Miss Evelyn Hopper, manager of ar
lists, or, as they would say in England,
"manageress' of artists, has the follow
ing announcement to make:
Owing to the relentless demands made
by Mr., Russell Of the Boston opera, Miss
Alice Nielsen is obliged to abandon all
recital contracts throughout the middle
west; The Omaha contract was post
poned on November 8 with a promise OF
tulfillment later In the month, but Miss
Hopper now finds the prima donna's call
from Boston came suddenly and before
November l. SO that Omaha shares dis
appointment with Kansas City and all ad-
4 joining territory.
This artist was not of the series. but
among the extra attractions, the next OF
which will be Nine. Schumann-Heink at
the Auditorium, January 6, 1910.
Mr.. August Mothe- Borglum will present
Miss Alice Virginia Davis in a piano re-
cital, assisted by Mr.. Edward Ross Bar
stow, baritone pupil of Miss Anna Bishop.
and Madame Borglum, accompsnist, at
the Schneider & Mueller auditorium, on
Monday evening. November %.

Here is a good Thanksgiving thought
which comes from the mind of Mr.. Henry
Wood of Cambridge, Mass. in one of his
latest books: There are two reasons for
the coming of every Individual experience.
1t has been invited. even though unwit-
tingly, and it is needed for a higher de-
velopment. II the events OF life seem hard
and advrse, they will be measurably soft
ened and transformed by the recognition
- 81
and meaning will be realized later. . .
our frictions are our own and not Gods.
But. all the same, they are performing a
work of educational polishing. We live
under an economy Of universal love. May
our eyes be opened to this wonderful
truth" THOMAS j. KELLY.
