Asst week when everybody was
talking himself and herself
hoarse over the wonderful beau
ty Of Nine Tetrazzini's voice, 1
had a great deal Of difficulty in keep
ing quite mum on another phase OF
art which Nine Tetrazzini exempiified
IN a wonderful degree Inded 1 think
this second gift OF hers almost as un-
usual as her voice I hope wou all
won't gasp and hold your breath when
I say IL Is nothing more nor less than
the perfect genius she displays IN the
building Of her gowns
Not one woman IN a thousand would
make such a shrewd use Of common
sense in dressing herself as does Nine
Tetrazzini The great singer. as you all
know, Is stouter than most women
indeed. she is far too stout to stand
within the range Of beauty in form
She IS shorter than most women, too,
and this goes a point further in accen-
tuatinE her difficulties. Furthermore,
on account Of her voice, she must have
free play for the abdominal muscles, so
there IS no possibility OF adjusting her
overpIus of flesh by the usual means
OF CorsetiIg.
You viii all agree, then. that Fate has
put heavy burden upon the shoulders
Of the great italian prima donna But
fortunately for all concerned, Nine
Tetrazzini has brains and a sense OF
form, so she sets about CoUnteracting
her handicaps by a careful adjustment
Of such everyday things as fabric, cut
and line
That she was eminently successful
everybody who saw her in her various
characters last week viii all agree. In
deed, I wish every woman in town who
IS doomed TO carry too much 'adipose
tissue about with her could have had
the opportunity TO see Nine Tetrazzini.
and to note the "sartOrial philosophy
she displayed IN her really wonderful
frocks-
Of course, she looked large. but when
one is able to reduce ones apparent
size at least One-third, one has every
right to be considered clever sort Of

Madame TetrazZini a Genius

Madame TetrazzinI almost invariably
