Interesting Characteristics
of Nine. Lillian NOrdica

Many articles about the late Nine
days. but few Of them have brought
out the characteristics Of the singer
more clearly or more interestingly than
one contributed by Mr.. F1nck. Of the New
York Evening Post. who drew upon his
own book, Success In Music" for some
Of his material.
Among the anecdotes included therein
none are more Characteristic than one
concerned with Anton Seidl. to whom
Nordica owed her pre-eminence As q
dramatic soprano more than to anyone
else. She herself once related that Seidl
could act every part in the music
dramas. and his exactness extended to
the multitude Of details accepted as
minor, but of much importance. One
day, after devoting three hours Of his
time to me. going over the score Of Iris
ton,' we went to q Broadway store to
buy q veil for Isolde in the second act.
He asked for samples Of various kinds
Of tulle, and when they came he seized
one after another at one end and hirted
the other rapidly through the air. to the
great astonishment of the shoppers and
shopziris, who were not quite sure wheth-
er he was in his right mind. But he
knew what he wanted" For the benefit
Of those who have not heard that opera

added that the veil Ii used In the garden

no State has equaled Maine. the home
Of Annie Louise Cary, Emma Eames, and
Lillian Nordica.
Some years ago Nine. Nordica placed
with former Speaker Thomas B. Reed
and another prominent attorney q claim
for between 5000, 900 and Ao00,0oO, which
she said was due her as direct descend
ant of Ichabod Norton. Norton was a
wealthy New England shipowner during
the Revolutionary war. and had sew
eral ships and their cargoes confiscated
by French vessels. The government was
said to have secured indemnity for the
loss, but Nordica claimed the amount
was never paid to Norton or his heirs.
She said she had established a COM
plete eenealogy showing herself to be
the direct descendant and heir to Nor
ton.
Nine. Nordica was believer in woman
suffrage. One time she sang at Irving
ton-on-the-Hudson for the benefit Of the
cause. While she was inspecting the
town hall where the concert was to be
given the old clock doomed forth the
hour. mercy me. what was that?" ex-
claimed the singer. She was told that II
was the clock sounding the hour. But
can't sing with that going on" she de-
cided. So, for three hours the clock was
halted IN its progress. It was allowed
to strike the hour Of 8. Just before the
concert began, and then 1t was silent
until II, when the concert was over.
Once she gave 100 concerts In twenty
eight weeks. To make this possible she
travelled with all conceivable comforts
and luxuries. She was one Of the first
to travel in private car. which she
called the Brunnhilde. It was a little
palace on wheels. 1t had q MUSHROOM.
