Farrar's love-making and show the grand

In such an inspiring role as the motor

Gamma Wslska-C Cochran would show the
adoring public how wonderful thing 10
a career" and why it was much more
worth while to play Zaza on the stage than
to play wife in her own home.
The opening night Of Zaza had been
fixed for Tuesday in December last.
Every seat had been sold and the musi-
cal world of Chicago awaited the great
event of the season. That long-looked-for-
w,Tard-to evening came and passed-but
great Gamma Walska and her over-power-
ing presentation Of wicked Zaza--
Something happened.
But exactly what 1t was that happened
seems shrouded in mystery. A few
things, however, are known with GER
tainty.
1t is established that the prima donna
packed up and left Chicago the day be-
fore she was to make her debut. Arriving
in New York the next day she applied for
passports to 60 to Europe.
From behind the scenes at the Chicago
Opera House came whispers that the

p The first struggle of the poor little
career" to once more get on it's feet
was a full page announcement in re-
cent number of the Musical Courier"
But hardly had the notice appeared in
the Courier" and the happy little
career opened its eyes once more than
it beheld the first sign Of trouble on the
horizon. Immediately Nine. Luella Meluis,
the operatic coloratura soprano. arose In
Chicago and announced that no concert
tour of Gamma Walska would be per-
mitted under the management of the dis
tinguished Jules Daiber.
"Mme. Walska never will sing In the

Daiber," she declared in no uncertain
tones. "They cannot treat contract with
me as a mere scrap Of paper and hap
pen to have an exclusive contract with
Jules Daiber. He cannot and will not be
permitted to manage any other woman
artist for five years. I shall get an in
junction preventing Nine. Walslea from
singing under his management"

ciety was aghast. Mr.. Cochran had
been regarded as the "fattest catch"
on the horizon, and now having ar
rived at mature years of discretion,
he had passed by all the eligible
society buds and picked an opera
singer. Would it last?
The answer was not long in being
heard. Ganna's little career got right in
the way and the third matrimonial venture
soon went to smash on the rocks of family
discord.
Mr.. Cochran seemed to have feeling
that he had something more to offer than
a wild goose chase after a "career"--and
yet, with all his wealth, mansions and
yachts, he could not keep his wife at home
or even control his own wife's voice or
hugs or kisses. This was explained by the
soprano herself in her own words.

Walska-C Cochran had an artistic soul above
such tiresome commonplace existence.
Her career was the only thing-the
whole thing. Anything that got In the
way of that precious career was going to
be run over-whether it was husband
or home or anything else.
And so it was that Mr.. Cochran was
left behind in New York to play with
his yachts and mansions and clubs and
millions, while his artiste-bride, Gamma
Walska, took up her abode alone in a
Chicago hotel and began vigorous work
on the role of Zaza, which was to be her
operate debut.

taking them"
Mrs. c. c. REMINGTON.
Now, you might think that any
medicine which is strong enough to
move the bowels when they are para
lyzed, would be too powerful to be
used by a person suffering with
ordinary Constipation. Yet "Fruit-a-
tives" is regularly taken by children,
young boys and girls, men and women
of all ages, without pain, gripping or
other ill-effects. Because "Fruit-a-

from the juices of tTuit, and gains it's
peculiar power to cure Constipation
