SWEET-vOICED SINGER
is QUICKLY FORGIVEN
BY SHOCKED AUDIENCE

New York, Feb. 23.-Emma
Zarska, one of the singers at
the evening performance at the
Metropolitan Opera House, not
only furnished good music, but
also two sensations.
The first sensation was
caused by her dress, which was
a creation direct from Paris.
2 The only way to describe it is
to say that the audience saw a
great deal of Emma.
Be that as it may, just as the
lady was about to sing some
thing happened. Mile. Zarska
said later that her shoulder
strap slipped. Anyhow, some
unfeeling person in the upper
gallery softly blew a police
whistle.
After a time all was forgiven
the singer, she sang so well.
