Aristocratic Husband
For Career In Music

suit OF all this: The voice OF the
singer became more beautiful; TO the
artist had been given, in place OF
the domestic he expected, a voice
with a message never before expert
enced. IL was the voice OF one who
had suffered: the voice which had
come with disenthrallmept, the voice
that stirs deeply because II has a
greater power OF Interpretation than
ever before.
Voice Enriched BY Suffering.
The girl. who left Syracuse with
such ardent anticipation OF life over
seas with the hero of her dreams
was awakened to find her hero van
ished, but her voice filled with
wealth OF beauty and sentiment that
il had never before possessed.
When she went TO Italy she be-
lieyed that he was the same gallant
young officer whom she had met
twelve years before. He had his
own ideas OF her. Neither was
bit like the real thing. He was the
nephew of S. Nitti. the political pow
er of Italy, and the descendant OF
one Of the great families of the
south, possessor OF many lands In
the Taranta region. He also owned
property in Rome.
A talented man in many ways and
able to write articles that would
readily sell to the magazines and
current publications, he felt that to
attach his name to an article for the
public was as great a disgrace as
allowing his wife to sing on a con-
cert platform.
The musical opportunities of Rome
were so abundant that Signora Dell
'Osso decided that she would not even
leave the place where she had seen
her romance fall in ruins about her.
She told her friends in Rome that
she would stay right on there, open
her house to musical students from
America, and thus unite instruction
along with the great chances to hear
the finest music in Rome. Already,
II is understood students from SYRIA
cuse have made inquiries about such
an arrangement, and Signora Dell
'Osso believes now that she will thus
return to the art which she has
chosen over her husband.
