 W NRICO CARUSO, come to 46 years
 F. offers an extraordinary specta- ~ cle. even in a wonderfuLyear in n cycle of miracles. To begin with, he is conspicuous. almost unique, in that he is living, modern instance of great tenor growing old gracefully.
 The fact that he is quoted as be- moaning his vanished years of youth only goes to show that he is eminent not only as singer but as an actor. Indeed, those sighs for the ragged years of hardship in boyhood cannot he half as sincere as his choke in Ridi Pagliacc; he only thinks he re- grets the thrill of the first engage ment at few franks in 1894. to sing an old mans part in forgotten opera Nor can he shed many salt tears over his youth when he sang In church, at 15 years of age. But his heart may be soft indeed, in memory of that time, for it was then that his mother was very proud. when every body was talking of him" Only for that shall we believe in Carusos sighs for his boyhood:
 There are gains for all our losses.
 There are>balms for all our pain But when youth the dream, departs, It takes something from our hearts,
 And it never comes again.
 ' not proof against that pang; nobody escapes it. But he needn't expect the public to think his sadness strikes deep for any of the past years since his voice changed when he was 1S-for then he felt the joy of the artist leaping steadily onward through the applause of many peoples and the sub stantial assurance of worldwide fame.
 The secret of his Monte Cristo suc- cess seems simple enough, granting him such natural endowment of voice as only comes once in generation. q never refused to work" says He. "This is how I have succeeded; l never refused an engagement" And "the experience is everything, he declares. Also, he has no "favori,e role" in opera. "The singer who has a favorite role Is not an artist, but T specialist He laments the custom of operatic managers of changing the bill almost every night, but he undet- stands the reason well enough; tn" people demand it, and, as he comedies. with a smile: Tt is the public that makes the favorite roles." Is he lesa an artist because he does not demant that human nature be made over 10 suit his preference? No whit.
 Caruso has the favor of the sun god and all the rest of them. Tns singers art is the most fragile of all; the written word remains.
