the peasants sing as they worked in her
fathers fields. and she would sing with
them.
When little Vaccari was y years old
her folks took her TO Rome o. a visit

the queen. She sang few little songs
in the queens private apartments and
her majesty told the girls mother that
she ought TO train that voice.
After that Vaccari was taken TO Paris

not wealthy. and II was hard for them

razzini" and reports of her wonderful
singing seem to fully warrant the COM
parison.
She will sing Gilda i'm "Rigoletto" al
