Minnie Tracy Tells How She Wont
Grand Opera Fame on Her
Merits Alone.

An intensely interesting story "
trials which beset an American girl
seeking operate fame abroad is told
here by Minnie Tracey, an American
prima donna of world wide reputa-
ton. 1t is a warning TO the girls Of
the South and to their parents and
should be needed.
Miss Tracey went to Europe as an
obscure singer gifted with a splendid
voice. She was a young woman Of
refinement, well educated, and a
member Of an excellent family. From
the beginning she was beset by
temptations. presented by fabulously
rich and sometimes royal white
slavers." One of the greatest bank
ers in France offered to get her an
engagement in the opera under GER
tain conditions" Prince Mohammed
Ali, brother of the Khedive of Egypt,
showered her with jewels and fol-
lowed them with yelled insults

FOR scandals" she says. But she
thrust them all aside and gained her
reputation as a singer purely through
her own ability. Her own story is
well worth thought and study. Here
