ROSA POnSELLE PRIMA DONNA
 TO SING HERE

At the beginning of the season be- lore last, the Metropolitan Opera Company, finding itself without dra- mhtic soprano of the first rank. en- gagged the young Italian-America soprano, Rosa Ponsefle, who had never before appeared in opera, for the leading role of La Forza del Destino." The sensation created by PoSselle at her first appearance at the Metropolitan was such that she was immediately acclaimed by the musical critics of New York the supreme dramatic soprano of the day, some even venturing so far as to de- clare her to be the new Falcon" Ponselle's voice has been described as a dramatic-lyric soprano of velvet quality, great sorority and astonish- ing range, taking one back to the days of Liin Lehman and Mi1ka Ter mini at their best.
 Following close upon the heels of her success in "F'orza del Destino," Ponselle created an even profoundet impression in the leading soprano role of "Oberon,'' revived at the Met ropolitan in English, and later at the Atlanta season of the Metropolitan, the young prima donna created a fu- rore by her remarkable interpretation Sln21nS 1iera Rusticana-a
 Last season Ponselle has provided the New York opera goers with a still further revelation of her powers as a singer and actress with her assump- ton of the role of Rachel in La Jufve., which was revived in order to afford Caruso a. new role, and to util- ize a voice of the quality and propor- tiens of Ponselles.- At the conclu- sion of last years opera season, Pom seIIe embarked on a tour of the prin- cipaI spring festivals and achieved the unioue distinction of duplicating in the more restricted environments Of the concert stage the sensational sue cess she has attained in opera.
 As an interpreter of the larger phases of song literature, as we'll as the more intimate and subdued classics, Miss PonseIle surprised her most fervid admirers with her wealth of tona1 beauty and skill in creating the desired mood for each song. In 4he early Italian and English songs. in her voicing of the major songs of Grieg. which she elected to sing in English, and in two or three classic arias from half-forgotten operas, the young soprano appeared as much at ease as in the blazing arias from Aida and Gioconda It is to her early train ing in piano, harmony and theory that Miss Ponselle points with particular pride for it is to this training that she attributes much of her success in con. t cert.
 F Miss Ponselle will be herd in Polls theatre Sunday, Feb. 15. when she will sing for the Raymond w. Harris Rost, Veterans of Foreign Wars of the United States

ETIQUETTE

A Divorced Woman's Cards-''When a woman is divorced and is given back her maiden name, should she have her cards printed, as for example Miss Mary Blank or Mrs. Mary Blank and is her title Miss illegal since she has been a married woman once?" (Answer)-We'u let the "CycIopedia of Social Usage (pub- lished by G. P. Putnam's Sons, N Y.) answer that query as follows:
 'There is a distinction drawn be- tween the card of a divorced woman and one separted from her mate by death, that must be made clear. Very often, in event of legal separations, the wife continues to use her hus- bands surname, replacing his Chris tian and middle name with her own Christian and maiden surname"
 Thus in place of inscribing on her cards (for instance) Mrs John x. Dash,' which was her husbands name, she would have the cards en- graved sMrs. Mary Blank Dash" or Mrs. M. Blank Dash,'' assuming her own maiden name had been Mary x. Blank
 If a divorced woman resumes the use of her maiden name in its en- tirety she prefxes it with the title Mrs Thus in the fictitious case as- sumed, above, she would have her card engraved Mrs. Mary x. Blank ''
