Courtship Like Jenny Lind's

was indeed, a master Of the violin.
Before he went on the stage. Pare
pa, who had the blacklist, merriest
eyes ever saw, would approach Rosa,
whose hair was fair, whose complexion
was pink. and whose eyes were the
bluest ever sew. and ask him In Ger
man how the weather affected his vio-
lin She would do 1t charmingly, her
eyes dancing. her olive tinted cheeks
suffused with a delicate blush Then.
after Rosa had finished playing and
had sought the wings she would ap-
preach him and say fascinatingly what
in English amounted to this: All, my
little violinist. you brought the music
of the heavens out Of your instrli-
mentl' The boyle was then only In
his twenties, while Parepa was in the
thirties-would blush like school
girl at the compliment. and look with
sly. furtive glance at Parepa while he
stammered his thanks for the compli-
ment.
when Parepa's turn came to APP
pear upon the stage she would fash
the merriest Of glances at the timid
violinist and say to him that she
wanted him to listen to her singing
because. II she knew that he was lis
tening. then she would be sure to sing
her best. And again the violinist
would blush furiously and look fur.
lively at the great singer. and his
long. dropping blonde mustachs would
tremble In his agitation.
"As soon a. she had finished her song
Psrepa would seek out Rosa in the
wings and say softly. Welt and
then wait for the compliment which
she had invited. And the embarrassed
boy. blushing red, would say stammei-
ingly to her: You win see how you
inspired me when I play my next Sc
lection
"oh. It was q beautiful case Of visible
courtship and Parepa made love not
coQuettishly, but charmingly. And she
had to. The fact was that Carl Rosa
was 80 modest and 90 complete devo-
tee Of Parepa and admirer Of her ar.
tistic work that he was afraid to assert
himself a. her lover. Like Jenny Lind
with Otto Goldschmidt, she had to do
all the counting; she knew that Carl
Rosa's timidity was all that stood In
the way Of his becoming q most de-
voted and impassioned lover. At last
she limited to him that her hand and
heart were his for the asking, and the
next day. i have been told, Carl Rosa
played superbly and Parepa sang a.
never before.
They were married shortly after IN
New York Then they reorganized the
Parepa-Rosa English opera company
out Of which, after the death Of Parspa
In 1874. grew the Carl Rosa English
opera company. the most successful
and the longest lived Of all the com
panies organized to give opera in Eng
lish."

they should have all the care that
any good fruit tree deserves.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fullerton Of the Long
Island railroad experiment farm, Med.
ford. N. Y. have q number of these
plum trees.
These trees were planted four
years ago In soil from which pine
scrub had been grubbed only a few
weeks before. The trees are bearing
well and show hne color and great
vigor.
The japanese plum differs from the
domestic varieces in that its leaves
are longer. thinner and smoother. and
Il has a greater tendency to produce
lateral fruit buds on the annual
growth. Its fruit is mostly short,
round and plump.
The japanese plum is less liable to
injury from curculio and black-knot
than the domestic variety. Mr.. Full
ierton says that up to this time his
trees have shown no signs Of disease
or attack from insects OF any kind.
