New Game Foods from the North

that Canada has available for this new
industry more than 100000 square

This territory is unsuited for the

for grazing purposes it is excellent. In

PATHS GirlhOOd in the Bronx

For some reason the parents of
Adelina were Jealous of her voice and
they did not want everybody to hear
her sing. They were artists themselves
and ] suppose they realized what a
wonderful voice Adelina was gifted
with. So to practise her vocal lessons
she would steal away into what was
known as Cranford's Wood and there,
far from the ears of neighbors, who
might spread her fame and cause an
noyance to the PATHS, Adelina would
sing to her hearts content. And what
a wonderful voice! 1t was so powerful
and strbng and yet so sweet Her
notes would ring through the trees and
at the end Of her song we would listen
till 1t died away. never heard any
thing just like Adelina's voice and !
suppose never will again.
II did not hear her often, because,
as I said, she would not always let
me go along. On this particular day
/ wanted to go along and Adelina and
my sister told me / would have to
stay at home. ] wanted to hear her
singing and 1 cried when they told
me 1 couldn't go with them. My tears
were in vain and I stood in the road
way and wept bitterly while watched
them on their way. l followed them,
but when Adelina saw me again she
told me I would have to go home. /
refused, so Adelina just lost her tenn
per and spanked me. Then 1 went
home.
MY sister was Adelina's privileged
companion and she used to sit by the
hour In the wood while Adelina poured
forth her beautiful song. She would
pretend she was on the stage and
she would act like a prima donna for
the approval of Elizabeth. Adelina was
very fond of my sister and In her
later days she did not forget her. One
Of Elizabeth's most treasured possess

was then in its palmiest days. She
was years old and was singing for
Strakosch in concert. She sang three
nights in the old Firemen's Hail. which
was then the best place of amusement
in Detroit.
"She was the most bewitching and
fascinating little creature I ever saw
In my life. Her eyes were large and
dark, and she had wonderful long
eyelashes that gave distinctive charm
to her face. Her color was exquisite
and she was grace itself in all her
movements. Her hands and feet were
tiny and her form perfection. Her
hair was black and lustrous and she
wore 1t in two long braids which hung
down her back. i never saw as pretty
child, or one like her, until went to
Italy, when 1 recognized in the little
street singer the same beauty,
She Always Was Merry,
"Her singing impressed me then
with the same feeling that it did when
1 heard her in later years. She sang
In those days like a bird on a bough.
She was full of natural music and her
trills and warbling were as sponta-
neous as her laughing, and she was al
ways singing or laughing. She was
such merry little thing! She cared
far more for her playmates and dolls
in those days than she did to sing be-
fore the public. OF course she Was
spoiled and caprlcious, but not the
least bit self-conscious.

was her brother-in-law, had to resort

dolls and candy. | remember that at
one time my father, who was an army
officer came home bringing me a Mex
lean doll. 1t looked so much like the
little Adelina that gave it to her, and
that night she would not. sing without
the doll in plain sight OF the audience.
You see, she was a perfectly natural
child and had hardly learned the A b C
of art at that time.
Her favorite concert songs were
The Last Rose of Summer and
Comm Through the Rye But
can give you no idea of how that little
child sung them. Everybody who
heard her Yas charmed. AS I told
you,' she said to the reporter, "when
1 heard the little street singers of
Italy | was reminded of her by their
personal beauty so their singing re-
called hers; their trills and runs
were the natural evolutions of the
voice, the cadenzas of the birds.
never heard such musical voices in
any other, everything right. and she
stepped before the footlights and sung
like a little angel.
"She always looked like a typical
italian child. She wore pretty white
dresses, and l remember a pink gauze
with spangles which had great attrac-
tions for my childish eyes. She was as
charming as playmate as she was In
her singing. and she would sing all
her songs for us whenever we asked
her to in the sweetest humor She al
ways seems to me, when | think of

where Patti went to school, but neither
Mrs. Mack nor Jacob Mandrey, who as
boy knew Patti, remember the
singer as a pupil in the Mount Vernon
school, The Mount Vernon building,
situated at the corner Of Thirteenth
avenue and West Lincoln avenue, is
now a saloon, and because of the pro-
hibition wave is soon to undergo an
other change in its long history.
Mandrey recalls that the building in
PATHS day was used as 4. Sunday
school, and he has no doubt that the
singer went there occasionally on the
Sabbath in company with other chill
dren Of Washingtonville In that re-
spect it is undoubtedly true that the
building can be associated with PATHS
early life.
PATHS Home in The Bronx.
There are other spots in the present
city OF Mount Vernon which were IA
miJar to Patti in her girlhood. 1t is
said Of her that she gave one of her
earliest concerts in a building situated
on what is now the property OF DR..
Edward Brush, Mayor of Mount Yer
non. Mrs. Mack and present residents
of Mount Vernon also remember hear
ing Patti in a concert in a building
now known as the Mount Vernon Ho-
tel.
PATHS former home, which is still
standing, is one of the real points of
interest In The Bronx. 1t is on Ma
tilda avenue, between 241st and 242d
streets. The Matilda avenue home
was the summer residence of the
PATHS and in the winter months the
family lived further downtown. Even
in these days the Patti homestead has
certain mark OF distinction in the
neighborhood in which 1t is located
One can easily imagine how imposing
1t appeared, with its double row of
steps leading up to a high veranda.
The building is OF brick and at the
present time is owned by Charles f.
Klausmann.
A Detroit playmate of the diva, the
wife Of DR.. Henry F. Lyster, recalls
Patti thus:
II remember her perfectly. She was

in vain. She pleads no more. A
woman's firm hand is raised, and a
firm woman's hand strikes the man

He does not stir.

They do not strike their wives, Amer
leans, n'est-ce pas, no, never?' They
seem to look far ahead; and a quiver
of joy passes through them. But the
fiancee is sobbing alone, sobbing under
the clump of trees. :"
The most pathetic problem in con-
nection with this work, says Mrs Sey-
mour, has been the care of the
fiancees-girls who have come up to
Brest to find American soldiers and be
married to them, and who have every
reason to expect that the men will
marry them. THE work in connection
with this flancee problem is most un-
turned out very tragically for the
women concerned"
