San Francisco.
To many San Franciscans and to all
who have heard Madame Melba at her
local concerts, the following from the
San Francisco Newsletter will be of
interest:
The welcome news that Nine. Mel
ba, the great prima donna, Is going to
make her home somewhere on this
peninsula, has sent waves of delight
over the fashionable musical set, and
has made many poor girl with mu-
steal ambition to hitch her wagon OF
hope to the Melba star For the great
diva announces that she loves to teach
and that she will personally conduct
promising voices into the land Of reali
cation, acting as official guide without

adaptability than the men.
Their gowns were as indecorous as
iecency would allow (which is an
Irish bull for decollette), and every

men managed pretty well, save in the
matter of headgear. The folding opera
nat was not yet ubiquitous. The Mad
Halter would have found in this blum

4 silk tile.
But it was the matter of receiving
