era when the lens was pointed in the
direction of masked batteries. Soon
she became the object of scoffing in
the street, she was Kissed at the op-
era. she found herself unable to get
letters to her friends or to hear from
them. She became so nervous and dis
pirited that she wished to go away,
regardless Of her operate contract
and was threatened with arrest If she
tried to 60. When, at last, men an
noyed her with threats of publishing
the spy story and thus running her
career unless she paid money to them,
she contrived to get word to the
American ambassador, in Rome, who
put the wheels in motion for black
mail trial. whereby Miss McVane was
cleared and the men were punished.
She was led to adopt singing as a
profession on the advice Of artists and
others who heard her voice in Paris,
where she had gone merely to perfect
her French. When her French instruc-
tors sent her to Milan, with letters to
the composer Puccini, she knew the
leading roles in 20 operas. 1t was re-
ported that Puccini intended to write
an opera for her, but the war abb
sorbed him In other affairs.
Miss McVane is something Of a
psychic. The story is that both she
and her titled lover believed firmly in
the survival of personality after death
and the ability of the disembodied
spirit to communicate with the living
and that they exchanged vows that the
one dying first would visit the surviv-

she is said to have been expecting such
a visit.
