LEGAL COMPLICATIONS
SEEM A CERTAINTY
Concert Managers and Grand Opera
to Fight for Famous
Singers.

That there will be controversy
and possibly legal complications be-
tween the concert managers who have
contracts with Nine. Nellie Melba and
Nine. -Heink and the Chi
cago Grand Opera Company which has
just signed the famous prima donnas
for next season seems certain.
Cleofante Companini has reiterated
the fact that he has both the artists
under contract and declared he did
not care what their concert managers
had to say about the matter. He
said he was sure that both would be
members of the Chicago organizations
next season.
Mr.. Campanini sailed for Europe last
Tuesday with his secretary. Mr.. Dali
bier. to complete the list of singers
and secure some new operas. All the
old members of the Philadelphia Chi
cago company who have contracts
with the defunct organization will be
offered contracts to sing with the new
Chicago company, and the personnel
of that organization will be filled out
with a number of new artists some
of which Mr.. Campanini has already
signed in Chicago. II is possible that
he will engage several artists here
before he sails.
Mr.. Campanni will visit London and
thence he will 20 to Paris, while Mr.
paiblcr will go to Germany Mr. Gam
panini will not go to Germany him
self. but will journey to Italy from
Paris and await his secretary there.
Mr.. Campanini expects to be able to
induce Mary Garden to return to the
Chicago opera next season and head
the list of its permanent prima dom
mas. The engagement of Mines. Schu-
mann Heink. Farrar and Melba is for
a number of special performances only.

CONFESSIONS.
l. OF A WIFE

How would you like a beef
steak?'"
Mollie was silent a moment
and then said, Dear, is it differ
ent after woman marries?"
Very, very different. l don't
have to repeat that old story to
you about catching the car, l am
sure. Men, my dear, that is, sue
cessful men, devote themselves
with single purpose to accom-
plishing the thing they set out to
do. When a man is making love
to woman, If he is much in
earnest, he usually neglects ev-
erything else until he wins-or
loses-the girl. Then, my dear
Mollie, i have found, from my
own experience and from the ex-
perience of my friends, that he
considers the game ended and
that he is at liberty to take up
his other interests In life, which
he usually does with renewed
zest and activity"
But, Margie, what is the girl
going to do then? You make me
afraid-you make me wish that
had insisted on a long engage
ment. 1t will break my heart to
have all this beautiful time dis
sipated and lost just because / am
going to be Chad's wife instead
of his sweetheart"
"The thing to remember, my
dear child, is that marriage is
very different from that first
flush of love and desire. Ro-
mantle love is but an incident of
life and marriage only a condi-
ton. We must all try and get
the right perspective. / think
women are happier whose lives
are filled with work and things
which keep a woman from think
ing too much of herself. The self
conferred woman is never happy,
and today we women, who are
just beginning to find ourselves,
are very apt to look at life and
love in their relation to us, in
stead of looking at ourselves in
relation to love and life."
Il should think Dick would
adore you"
MY dear Moiiie, a man may
adore woman for many curious
.nings, but of all the ado alton
that / have ever heard about none
has seemed to be for the woman
philosopher.
ITO work out a scheme of phil
losophy, my dear, and live by 1t
will probably make you more
comfortable, but 1t will never
make your husband adore you."
ITO be continued.)
