EARLY CAREER OF N0RDICA
Gilmore Told Her She Would Be

In America.

In the first series of articles de-
scribing the girlhood of great singers,
the Woman's Home Companion tells
of Nine. Nordica's experience with
Nine. Tietjens, the dramatic soprano

(that being Nordica's real nance was
then studying.
Nine. Tiejens, who had come to the
city to sing In opera, sent a message
to the conservatory asking to hear
any student with unusual voice and
talent Nordica was sent In response
her mother going with her. The visit
was made on a matinee day and the
prima donna to spare herself deputed
her sister to receive them.
Though regretting a lost opportunity
the aspirant started to sing. Before
she had got very far a door opened
softly, then was thrown wide and
Tietjens entered In her enthusiasm
she took the accompanies place at
the piano.
Work ahead and you will be greas,"
she said simply. BEING warm hearted,
she added: when you come 10 Lon

offer was unfortunately never real

after.

THAT summer Nordica studied 20
roles. In the autumn she came out
in concert In New York with Brignoli
and in the early spring following was
fairly launched on her career as SOLO

ton ranking with Sousa's. The test
was strenuous for one so young-often

her pluck, once exclaimed: You will

GRAVE OF PATRICK HENRY
Tongue of the Revolution" Is Buried
on His Estate in Charlotte
County.

Every now and then there comes
the query, Where is Patrick Henry
buried?" and tourists in Richmond,
Va, constantly ask to be shown his
grave, with the mistaken idea that 1t
Is in that city, where much of his
public career was passed. Few per-
sons, comparatively, know that the
man who acquired the title of THE
Tongue of the Revolution" lies in a
quiet grave on the estate in Charlotte
county where he formerly lived. Over
him is a marble slab inscribed with
the one line: His Fame His Best
Epitaph."
The estate lies on the Staunton
river, 3S miles from the town of Lnych-
burg, Va, near the border line which
separates Charlotte and Campbell
counties. 1t derived its name of Red
Hill from the peculiar color of the
soil In that vicinity. When Patrick
Henry bought the place it comprised
about three thousand five hundred
acres. The land is rich-there was a
saying in the neighborhood that poor

there as high as a man on horseback.
there is general air of smiling fields
and abundant prosperity. Its situa
ton in early times was very remote
Neighbors were few, one of the near
est being the celebrated John Ran
dolph of Roanoke, who lived in his
chosen solitude fifteen miles away.
Red Hill is now owned by Henry's
grandson, William Writ Henry, {
gentleman of the "old school" He
has in his possession some interesting
relics of his celebrated grandfather
including the desk he always used
which still contains his letters from
Lafayette, Washington, Madison and
other great men of early days; the

Patrick Henry died, and portrait Of
him by the elder Sully. under which

Origin of Uncut.

The seashore book shop was crowd.
ed. Best sellers at s1.15, SLIPS and
even $3.50 were going like hot cakes.
The proprietor, pushing through a
throng of pretty girls in white. said
joyously:
I'VE don't need to handle uncuts
in this glorious country of ours. Why
actually, I've just had to wire to New
York for two extra statesmen"
But what has that got to do with
the uncuts?' the reporter inquired.
"Uncuts." said the dealer, "are
books with uncut edges. They orig.

would read another chapter gratis
