KATE CAREW FINDS IA BELLE CAVALIER" STRONG ON Low

spoke The chic Parisienne had disap-
peared. She bent and swayed with her
description. and she drew an imaginary
bow across her arm to show how ths
'cellist got his effect.
You do love your music. don. your
I exclaimed Spontaneously.
Yes" sho replied simply. TT Is my
life"
-ShalI you return to Paris when the
tour Is ended?" asked.
-As straight as the bird fiies." laughed
Madame. Il am happy everywhere. but
happiest In Paris. It is the city In which
I must live Italy love. but not to live
In Paris all Is beautiful. comfortable and
gay. The people are so kind and sympa-
thetic. Then. too, II Is the best home
| for an artist-and one must also think
of that"
| DO you consider marriage fs a good
thing for an artistT'I demanded. a little
tremulously. lest might be rushing in
where angels fear to tread
But not at all
| Mime. Cavalierfs face wore a serene
phatically:
MARRIAGE NOT FOR THE SINGER.
| Il most certainly do not believe In
marriage for q singer. She belongs to
the public. She cannot also belong to a
husband. II he Is jealous he suffers and
makes her suffer. He cannot understand
her success. her popularity. A man may
| say to her: Madame. you sang enchant-
ingly this evening Immediately her

there are scenes and recriminations. No.
no; the artist has nothing to give her
public IL she has to expend herself in
that way"
We'll. but what about two artists;
couldn't they be happily msrried?'
Madame nodded. Yes. that Is possible
That has often been very successful
They have the same work and interests.
They can understand each other better
and make allowances for each other"
Then for some mysterious reason the
creamy pallor of the singers cheek was
| covered with a deep crimson It was .
blush which commenced almost at her
neck. and even touched the lobes Of her
little ears.
or course, being a bit OF a Sherlock
Holmes. i drew my own conclusion. Be-
| sides, they do say-but. there. why should
retail Paris gossip to you, dear ones7
And. anyhow, they say so much in Paris.
They never finish saying things. You
hear odds and ends about people IN all
parts Of the world In this little village.
Really, for an all-round centre of gossip
and scandal Paris can hold its own with
New England town or any watering
place in America
And. anyhow. no doubt you'll ferret
out all mysteries when the pair arrives,
chez vous-
HIGH PRIEsTEss OF BEAUTY.
I. being a perfect lady. tactfuuy
changed the subject
II seemed the moment to CLEAN a few
beauty hints from the priestess of the
cult. so with you in my mind began:
How do you keep SO delightfully."- slen-
der?" inquired winningly. Most sing
ers get so fat, don't they?"
Yes. they do" she agreed. I'm sure I
don't know why don't except that I
am Just as le Bon Dieu made me-"
do you take much exercise7"
-Mais non. I never walk II can help
IT 1t bores me. and I am very lazy
about it Sometimes a quarter of an
hour in the morning That is all"
DO you diet, then?"
Not i. Never. I eat everything 1
want. and I eat enough for four. In fact.
I have a shameful appetite. I can take
huge meals, plenty OF soup. bread and
butter and all sorts of vegetables and
other things"
Now. is this just or right? I ask you
When most of US consider the relation
ship OF every piece OF bread and every
potato to the curve OF the hip that spoils
the straight line demanded by the fash
ion OF to-dayI .
We'll, anyhow, you run upstairs, and
that is good for the figure" I remarked
hopefully.
