dominate the whole. On becoming gen.

Company. with a free hand at last, he

He is convinced that external beauty
has intimate bearing on the talent of

woman has a beautiful voice. the voice
is more beautiful and the woman more
lovely And beauty educates tempera-

is look without blush. says Cam

All of which is easy TO explain and diff

needed roping. In Paris. where she made
furore this spring, at the new Champs

And Maria Barrientos was also in Lon

colorature is beauty. In gardens she
has to wear a veil to keep the bees from
her lips. Few women in the world dress

boy was changed. He dropped his un-

suave urbanity. and intelligence illumi-

months. Only then did he throw himself

when she gently refused his addresses

because. at Campanini's great desire, she
had left the time open for three months
in Chicago, Philadelphia and New York,
in making her European dates. She
sings all the roles of the modern French
repertory and has been specially engaged
to replace Mary Garden. Campanini is
convinced. indeed, that in her he has the
only European artistic who could replace
her. and Kousnezoff has beauty to burn.
Or. take Edith Walker. an American
beauty abroad, whom Campanini had his
eyes on. But she was such a favorite in
Germany that 1t was possible to sign her
only this summer. She is engaged to
sing Electra" at the Paris grand opera
in March next. under the new and SO ar
tistic Rouche direction. Richard Strauss
will himself conduct Which news is not
known yet, even In Paris.
Only those who have seen Campanini
rushing about Europe this summer can
have an idea of the labor of it. Within
a month after arriving in Paris he had
,.Inade a trip to Italy; returned and did
that flying voyage to Barcelona; then
back to Paris, into Germany. and once
more back to Paris-all in four weeks.
He was on his way to London the day
after we photographed his Conchita.

Speaking of these things, Campanini
expressed his conviction:
When I see an artistic, I look if she is
beautiful If yes, it is 60 per cent gained
in advance. The time is past when those
women (the maestro extended his arms
wide) could stand in front of the prompt
er's box and roll off a song
And again:
"One cannot deny. 1t is as necessary
to be beautiful as sing well. Either she
must have good looks and an excessively
grand, beautiful voice, or be the raw

cultivated"
l asked him whether Americans We're

. to love beauty. but to demand it. They
have not got to the point of "mummified

Vice versa. Alice Zeppilli is an Italian

COPY OF BOSTON GAZETTE

A copy of the Boston Gazette, dat
ed March IL, 1870, owned by Karl
Riddle, has been framed and placed
on exhibition at Northcrafts. The
paper has some little historical in
terest aside from its age, 144 years.
On the front page Of the paper is
the sentiment Of the town of Boston,
expressed in no uncertain terms,
about the imposition of q tax on
tea, glass and other goods by the
mother country. The good citizens
of Boston. aroused by England's
tactics, voted to support the rner-
chants OF their town in an agree
ment not to import any Of the COM
modities from England upon which
the tax had been placed. The peo-
pie have this much to say: THAT
we do with the utmost adherence
and detestation view the little. mean
and sordid endeavors Of few trad
srs In the provinces who still do inn
port these goods contrary to said
agreement thereby discovering that
hey are governed by selfish spirit.
