IT T is the survival of the fattest!
 H Madame Luisa Tetrazzini, The = Queen of Song, was the speaker yesterday as she ripped playfully into the drawing room of her gorgeousiy pa latial car, .Ideal,' built for and used by President Wilson on his League of Nations speaking tour.
 Madame Tetrazzini is far prettier than her pictures; she has the sweetest ana prettiest and most "youngish,' looking Of baby" faces, even if her figure is bit-er-er-well stylish stout. as the corset ads" express it, and she is one of the incest, one of the most friendly and one of the most adorable people you ever met in all your life.
 AS MT. Francesca Leongo, her pianist (and, by the way, he's awfuily handsome, girls, so beware); MT. Bove, flutist; MT. Gegna, 'cellist; MT. Leahy, her manager, who looks every inch the millionaire that he is. elegant, suave and dignified; MT. E. F. Stafford, treasurer; Mrs. Rich ard F.

of necessary food. If she refrains from milk and chocolate and abstains from all nutritious foods, she cannot sing a long, difficult and strengthening opera Think of endeavoring to go through
 Lucia or 'Rigoletto' on a lunch of let tuce and toast and glass of lemonade! It can't be done.
 Life holds every joy for the fat wom- an," Madame Tetrazzini said. 1T know,
 because 1 am fat. and l have fever known days sadness. laugh and joke all the time. Which would a woman rather possess-a slim figure and a sour disposition, or a too generous outline and a glad manner that generates similar qualities in her associates? The fat wom- an, to use slang phrase, has it all over
 her slender sister. I know of many
 tragical endings of women who sought to become thin by taking medicines and
 thereby ruined their digestions. It is
 well known in operatic circles that the
 great Lillian Nordica ruined her health
 and began to decline vocally as soon as
 she began to diet. She also weakened
 her system by too many steam baths.
 Look at your famous American beauty, Lillian Russell! She once told me that she retained her beauty and health be- cause she never practiced these harmful methods of beauty culture. She is hv- ing example of common sense mode of life'
 All of which philosophy is carried out in Madame's wonderfully stocked car. consisting of $4O0 worth of imported spaghetti, $1,oo0 worth of other Italian delicacies, including wine baked hams. salami, ripe olives, creams, pastes and delicious goodies of all kinds.
 And you are so much prettier than your pictures lead us to believe" l ventured during pause in the conver- sation.
