ADELINA PATTI The
QUEEN OF SINGERS

There was a time, and IL is not en-
tirely passed, when to mention prima
donnas you would instantly think Of
Adelina Patti She was born In
Madrid, Spain. and her paretns were
operate singers OF Italian ancestory.
She first sang at an early age in New
York. but her fame was secure af-
ter her first appearance in London,
and from that time she held high rank
as one Of the first singers Of the
day The rich bell-like quality Of her
voice and remarkable evenness Of
tone had a range as a high soprano
never surpassed, and her cadenzas
and trills were the delight of her
admirers. Equally az home IN tragic
tenderness Of grand opera, or vivacity
of comedy, or stateliness Of oratorio,
Adelina Patti will owe much OF her
fame 20 the way and manner I'm which
she sang Comm Thro' the Rye" al
though her greatest success was
Marguerite" IN Gounod's Faust" b"
Year after year she continued TO make
farewell tours In America, and year
after year she sang the sweet Scotch
ballads with all the fervor of Latin
blood. She lived In a castle in
Wales in mature years. where she de-
lighted to sing for friends. and on
special occasions for charity. The
divine Patti never underestimated the
value OF the songs that touched the
heart. "The Last Rose Of Summer
Is a song that will always be identi-
fed with Patti.
Comm Thro' the Rye" and when
to Thy Vision" from Gounod's
Faust" both are 10 be found IN
Heart Songs" the book now being
offered by Lippincott and Company,
az a cost Of distribution and one cou-
pom. The Last Rose Of Summer
is 10 be found on page lac Of the
volume. and is only one OF the many
favorites OF Patti that render the book
a possession that should be one OF
the treasures to be found in every
/ home.

Premature Peace Efforts

Referring to a praiseworthy but premature
effort on the part of certain American peace
advocates to influence this government to make
forcible representations to the belligerent Euro
pean powers in behalf of restoration of peace,
the New York Sun wisely comments:
1T is we'll to point out, lest any ardent wish
err of peace now impossible should be duped by
his hopes, that this war, which has been hang
ing over Europe for years and has been regard
ed inevitable, cannot end, that no durable
peace can be negotiated or without derision at
tempted, until that ancient problem the Balance
of Power has been settled decisively The long
preparation has been made, enormous expendi-
lures for ornaments have been endured, that
when the struggle came it's event should be final
for generation or two at least. Either one side
or the other must be beaten to it's knees militar-
lily and economically No such result is in sight.
Until it is, the talk Of peace must be evidence of
humane intention rather than of present practi-
cal value"
