opera in English absolutely impossible. simply couldn't do it and so 1 resigned.
 You mean you do not believe that there is any future for grand opera in English?" l asked.
 "On the contrary, l think there is q great future for it, but only if it is sung by English speaking people, she de- clared Tt cannot be sung by foreign tongues interpolated into an English cast. The Italian spells an English opera by his accent and temperament; German does the same thing. Grand opera to be a success in English must be sung by your own native people,"
 And as to our American composers, l asked 'Why do we seem not to have any like Puccini, for instance, who could have taken The Girl of the Golden West and written a score as beautiful as his?''
 Americans will not accept the music of American composers it seems, Miss Scott said quickly. '"Take Mir. Victor Herbert for example, his 'Natoma,' which had a hearing at the Metropolitan opera, is one of the most beautiful things l ever heard, and yet it has probably seen it's best days. So with MT. Damrosch's operas. The only American composer who will go right on living down through the ages, in my opinion, is Reginald DeKoven. His Robin Hood is the nearest approach to grand opera you have and the only American opera which has survived so far
 But my romance" she said quickly. 'T must tell you how it all happened. After I had cancelled my contract with the Aborns, at the Century opera, I found myself high and dry with nothing to do.

FITTS-MORRISETTE

 '"The bridesmaids and matrons came down the stairway singly, Mrs. John Scott Pollard of Selma, sister of the bride, was the first to advance through the aisle of ribbons. Her gown was an ex- quisite creation of shell pink taffetta com bined with lace and trimmed with bands of skunk. Next came Mrs. Adolph c. Cade of Tuscaloosa, the brides cousin. She wore nile green taffeta, trimmed with silver lace. She was followed by Miss Annalee Fitts of Tuscaloosa, sister of the groom, whose toilette was of nile green taffeta combined with chiffon, silver

It was in the middle of the season and every place was filled. One day when the all star cast of Robin Hood was an nounced for the New Amsterdam in New York, l was thinking what a nice thing
 it would be if I could sing Maid Marian It's a very pretty part; l was familiar with it, and I liked it. It seems that my fairy godmother knew that l was making some sort of wish about such things, for Bella Alten, who was singing the part at the time, left the company and to my de
 light and surprise my chance came. I went to see Mr. DeKoyens and sang for him. He was quite much impressed with the fact that I sang the Forest Song in the original key-something that no other prima donna had ever done. It is very high, you know-tlie key of D. We'll. to make long story short was engaged, and from that time until the end of the season sang the rofe. When the opera company was being reorganized to make this tour just few months ago, I was signed and when the manager of the com pany came to arrange matters with me found myself thinking very often and very kindly of him. Three months later Mr. Walker (for he is the manager and owner of the present Robin Hood company) and myself were engaged, and a very short time afterward we were married. So there's the whole story"
 And a very nice story it is to be sure, for anybody with half an eye see that while music and opera and all that sort of thing form big factor in the fascinat-
 ing prima donna s life, nothing is half so sweet to her as her pretty romance!

.DINoSAUR FOUND
BY A Denver man
Scientists at Work Trying to
Collect All Of the Bones.

Grand Junction, Colo. - Coming tc
Grand Junction to examine the skele-
ton Of the dinosaur found south Of the
city recently Professor J. D. Higgins
Of the City Park museum in Denver
found another while searching the
hills. He expects to have it excavated
and removed to Denver to be mounted
in the museum.
Professor Higgins, with two guides,
viewed the pile Of bones Of the petri-
fed dinosaur recently located and
found the bones much scattered and
disintegrated. Some were carried
away by specimen hunters. He found
several hard, round rocks which he
declared to be the stones a dinosaur
swallowed to grind food with. as a
chicken swallows pebbles. @r
he kept on the trail and soon found
small slivers of bone and a large joint
sticking out of the ground. -.
He staked the place and returned to
Grand Junction and states that he will
Immediately start the work Of having
the huge skeleton uncovered.
Judging from the formation where
the bones were found, there is every
reason to believe that the skeleton can
be taken out in more than ordinarily
fine condition.
Professor Higgins said it has always
been the case that when petrifed
skeletons Of dinosaurs have been found
in Colorado some eastern museum has
swooped in and captured the prize,
while Colorado's own museum stands
devoid of any Of the specimens found
In its own state. If this proves to be
fairly good specimen it will be placed
in the Denver museum as rapidly as
the work can be accomplished.
While there is no way of determin-
ing the size of the saurian until some
excavation is made, the size Of the
joint found protruding from the ground
indicates that the animal was as large
as the largest ones found In the valley.
