PATTI AND JENNY LIND
By Associated Press

Paris, october 29.-A member of the French Academy of Music recently told the following anecdote concerning the only meeting between Jenny Lind and Adelina Patti It is timely in connec- ton with celebrations of the one hun dredths anniversary of the birth of the Swedish nightingale"
 Patti whose youth was just budding into womanhood, sang one evening in one of the leading salons of the Champs Eiysees. Among the audience was Jenny Lind, then rather an aged woman After the applause that greeted the conclu- sion of Paths singing had subsided, the Swedish singer approached Mime. Patti and congratulated her but not without making reserves as to certain detail of omission and a slight criticism of cer- tain notes.
 q feel that l may tell you this with of it Is already in proof. The theme is one on which fifty plays might be writ ten; I have been able barely to touch it with the tips of my fingers"
 This will no doubt be published as a serial first. Don't you wonder what the parting shot of this great Irishman will be?

AN OLD RECIPE
 ID DARKEN HAIR Sage Tea and Sulphur Turns Gray, Faded Hair Dark
 and Glossy

Almost everyone knows that Sag' Tea and Sulphur, properly compound ed, brings back the natural color ano lustre to the hair when faded, streaked or gray. Years ago the only way to get this mixture was to make it at home which is mussy and troublesome.
 Nowadays we simply ask at any drug store for ''Wyeth's Sage and Sul- phur Compound" You will get q large bottle of this old time recipe improved by the addition of other ingredients at very little cost. Everybody uses this preparation now, because .noA one can possibly tell that you darkened your hair, as it does 1t so naturally and evenly. You dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through ypur hair, taking one small strand at time; by morning the gray hair disappears. and after another ap- plication or two, your hair becomes beautifully dark. thick and glossy and you look years younger.--Adv.

 Karlton Hackett. the famous Chicago critic of "The Chicago Evening Post" avs of Mary Gardens concert. which took place there on Sunday afternoon, October Sl, before B capacity audiences:
 The solemnity of a Sunday song re- cital, or concert, cannot dim the light If Miss Gardens personality It Is many years since she has sung in concert here, and when she did it was on a semiprivate occasion, so that l cannot remem Der when I heard her without her operatic feathers.
 Miss Garden can dispense with the histrionic accessories of operatic per formance and still be a personality. She understands how to garb herself as ef- Actively for the concert platform as for the operatic stage, and her stagecraft is at her finger tips whenever she desires it, and yesterday afternoon, in the auditor ium theatre. she availed herself frely
 She made the Lever de Solelr' of Err langer a stunning emotional ntterance broadly sustained in tone and with a fire in it that caught the very glow of the morning sun. Then she played lightly with two settings by Hahn of the chil- drens poems .'The Swing and My Ship and r. with a spontaneity and ar unctuousness that were delightful II was something more than the attempt of the grown-up to talk children's talk, for there was a insight into the spirit oi the thing which rang true.
 To show what she could do just in the matter of tonal beauty, she sang the lullaby from Godard's "Jocelyn." Mir. Cassini played the cello obligato, and he drew from his instrument the warmest tcne he had at his command and as he is mighty good cellist, it was fine tone.
 MT. Van Grove at the piano made his instrument sound rich and full. so that sy the time 1t came Miss Garden s tura to sustain the melody the earsseof the audience were adjusted to tones of the mellowest quality Her voice came out with the cantabile phrases so that they had the character of singing in the old Italian sense of the word. There is no war horse of the concert stage that has gone through more battles than this lullaby, yet for all that she made 1t sound fresh and lovely.

There was man whose fame was

By blowing in an empty gun.
No sooner in the gun he blew,
Than off this mortal sphere he flew,
And met the girl in yonder scene,
Who lit the fire with kerosene.
And there he saw in vengeance dire
The one who called a man liar.
He was budding close as if for life
Beside the man who whipped his wife
Take warning each, take warning all
For retribution sure will fall
On him who does a careless deed,
Or wrongs another without heed.

Mrs Gait Issues Statement Telling
OF Right OF All Women To Vote Now
That Nineteenth Amendment Is A Law

New York. Sept. 4.-"Women have
the right to register and vote in all
states under the nineteenth amend
ment to the federal constitution
said Mrs, Carrie Chapman Gait in
statement issued today at the head
quarters of the National American
Woman Suffrage Association.
THE federal amendment is ratified
all anti-suffragists to the contrary
Notwithstanding, said Mrs. Gait,
Every woman in the land not dis
qualified by any discrimination other
than sex has a right to vote under
the federal constitution. If any state
authority denies her that privilege IL
is her right to demand it in the
courts. 1t is possible for a thief to
declare that a diamond ring is his
because it is in his possession. 1t is
sometimes necessary for the owner
to prove his right Of ownership in
the court. This is a parallel now
with the womans vote. No honor
able state will DENY it to the women.
Mrs. Gait called attention to the
statement of Charles f. Hughes that
"the amendment will be Immediately
self-executing and will render in
valid and therefore ineffective any
existing provision in any state const'
tuition or statute establishing sut-
frage disqualification solely upon the
ground Of SEX
Mrs. Gait also called attention to
the recent statement by William
Howard Taft: ut follows from this
authoritative construction Of the F1f'
teenth Amendment that the Nine
teenth Amendment as passed does
not need any affirmative action by
the states to give women the right
to vote at once. 1t is seh-executng'
It by its own force amends every
election law of every state so as to
include in the state electorate women
