tack the first notes in a fighting mood
until the music holds me and 1 feel my
part; yet all the time l am possessed
with the fear that my voice might sud
denly fail me,
THE memory Of Naudin, the tenor, who
after such an experience at the San Carlo,
Naples, years ago, shot himself in his
dressing room, haunts me always, and
every minute on the stage counts as "a
year of my life.
Lately an Italian socialist paper at

my task they would know every cent 1
get is deservedly earned.

my success. Through my own energy
and pluck | have worked up from the low

an easy matter. Long ago when after
years Of hard work l had succeeded In
bringing my fees up to $1,000 l had to
pocket my pride and come down again

singing at Covent Garden.
