Expressing his belief thai there is

When the law of prohibition
had been passed" he said yester-
day at q reception in his honor

there would be no further need
for temperance or total abstinence
societies, and hence the practice
of giving pledges against the use
of Intoxicating liquors to our boys

But the pretty girls who drifted into his life
drifted out quite as easily.
AS far love itself is concerned he seems
to have given that only to the girl who sang
her way into his heart back in Stuttgart.
Maybe Mrs. Herbert understood that her
romantic husband needed youth and loveliness
if he wanted to make songs that would be re-
membered Anyway she went on loving him
and living with him in contented happy sort
Of fashion.
Herbert seemed satisfied. Romance didn't

Damrosch was puzzled Kaye says:
But her career? New York was q city to
which all European artists wished to go: new
country, new audiences much money Woula
she miss such an opportunity?
The young woman was not at all excited.
America might be all that the Herr DamroSch
said, and the Metropolitan a magnificent place
to sing, but she would not leave her Herr Vic
tor Herbert.
"Damrosch went to interview Herr Victor
Herbert. He heard him play and returned to
Fraulein Forester. Would she 60 if Herr Vic
tor Herbert went with her? Went with her IS
what? AS first cellist of the Metropolitan.
"Ah, ja! Certainly she would GO. That
would be pleasure"
So the couple signed contracts to appear in

NOBODY knew Victor Herbert. He played
~ cello and drew $50 week. But every
body knew his wife. She fairly sparkled In
the glamorous settings of the Metropolitan.
She sang with Lilli lehman on the opening
night in THE Queen of Sheba."
The critics said all sorts Of nice things
about her voice and beauty when they wrote
their press comments. She used the name OF
Frau bert-Foerster. Victor Herbert. who
loved his wife as madly he wanted to be
famous, had to read comments such as this:
"The newcomer, Frau Herbert-FOerSter, was
received with favor. Her mezzo- soprano voice
has both strength and resonance, and her
comeliness for the first time since the Queen
of Sheba' was made known in this country.
rendered Asads infatuation comprehensible"
Herbert knew that he didn't have to be
jealous Of his wife's popularity. She adored
him. She sang some Of her love songs straight
at him. as he sat hidden away in the or
chestra pit.
She worried because he smoked big. black
cigars that she thought weren't good for him.
The two young people used to exchange smiles
across the footlights, quite as though nobody
else was present.
Mrs. Herbert was heard in four roles In the
Metropolitan She was the queen in the
Queen of Sheba," Elsie in "LOhengrin." Aida
in aida" and Irene in Wagner's "Rienn." |"
Her career was brilliant but brief. When the
season closed she announced that she wouldn't
be back. She wouldn't give the reason.
COME people said that it was because nef

scenes. Others because children came.

Herbert loved her husband exceedingly, and
was, by nature, a home person to whom the
good management of house and family was
even more interesting than the creation of an
operatic role. she could yield to him without
too much aggravation."
Then he makes the statement that ends the
romance:
Though the HerbertS' marriage originated
In love. they were unhappily mated. Herbert
was not q man of fixed interest where women
were concerned, and he differed characteristic
cally from Mrs. Herbert He was never more

His orchestrated numbers were being hum

beautiful, started to fade. She grew fat She
couldn't get the hang of the English language.
These things grated on the man who had
adored her so blindly one Spring in Stuttgart.
Herbert's interest lessened. But he grew
more handsome. Therese adored him as COM
pletely as she had done when she refused to be
famous unless he could be famous, too Her
children were taking her time now There were
two Ella Victoria and Clifford.
Some OF his light operas were very success
full Some weren't appreciated. Mrs. Herbert
was always consoling, sympathetic, sure of her
husbands genius.
She never mentioned the fact. when stars
were being sought for the leading roles Of his
operas, that she had once belonged in the front
ranks of the music world. II she remembered
those days, she never told her husband about it.

Until recently no one has known very much
about Herbert's own romance. He must have
had one. everybody said. Or at least wanted
one. His songs told that
It wasn't enough of an explanation to learn
that he was married at the age of 27 and lived
with his wife until his death in 1927. Ever
since the radio put his music on the air people
have been asking questions.
THEY wanted to know if he had a secret
] yearning that he expressed in song. If he
had ever loved and lost. If his wife was really
the inspiration of his music. as he said she was.
Now the story has come out.
Joseph Kaye has written the biography Of
the famous composer of light opera. He calls
kt simply by the music masters name, Victor
Herbert" But the book, published recently by
g. Howard Watt, answers the questions.
Herbert had romance that started in a
manner dramatic enough to suit anybody. His
wife the heroine of 1t. The marriage
lasted. But the romance didn't.
Back in 1886, Herbert was the handsome
young first cellist of court orchestra at the
Stuttgart opera in Germany.
Already he had made up his mind that he
was going to be great. He was writing songs
and short instrumental pieces. He was play
ing his cello in way that made people dream
and cry and start to dream all over again.
THE girls of Stuttgart adOred him. Tall,
u strong, broad-Shouldered. vigorous, unde-
niably handsome, they looked upon him as the
answer to a maiden's prayer. He laughed,
firted, danced with them, and went right on
playing the cello.
Then Therese Forester came along
She was tall and statuesque. beautiful and
very young. Her dramatic soprano voice had
been given plenty of applause at the Vienna
Opera House. She was booked IS one OF the
stars of the Stuttgart opera.
Victor Herbert sat in the orchestra pit, gazed
A& the new star, and fell in love. She looked
in his direction and did the same thing Fate
worked right along with the lovers Fraulein
Foerster needed coaching. Victor Herbert
cheerfully came to her aid.
Spring came. ALI the linden trees were in
bloom. Even the music of the opera house
seemed levelier Herbert and Therese were
engaged now.
But Walter DamroSch had arrived in Stutt-
CART. He was searching for new voices for the
German operas which the Metropolitan Opera
Co. in New York wanted to feature. When he
heard Fraulein Foerster he decided that she
must be included.
Z lE told her about it. She liked his terms.
I But she said she couldn't go. She ex-
>6aained that she was engaged to Herr Victer
Herbert who played the first cello. and she
oouldn't leave him.

IT'S TINE for a new frock. one
which seems to say a not too sud
den good-by to winter, yet in its happy
bright coloring and lightsomeness car
ries a hint of approaching spring.
Rather a paradoxical call of the mode

The sheerness of the new woolens
is perfectly amazing. They take one
by surprise for often they have
sturdy look, while in reality they are
as airy-fairy as the most fastidious
may desire. The t5mato-red worsted
and durene tweed which fashions the
chic dress which the seated figure here
pictured is wearing is that sort. This
attractive material which exploits the
now-so-smart honeycomb patterning is
so thin and sheer as to be almost
transparent when the light shines
through 1t. The fact that the worsted

of its charms.
Added to the beauty Of the fabric OF
which this dress is made are two in
teresting style features which are es
pecially news-worthy. One Is the
epaulet sleeve, which is so often men,
toned this season. In this instance
the epaulet effect is achieved via tiny
capelets of self-material. The other
important message of the mode is the
skirt Of many cores which is manipu-
lated so as to give snug hipline with
a gentle fare at the hem.

NEWEST ENSEMBLE
HAS SUBTLE CHARM

A subtle relationship marks the
frock and coat of the newest ensem-
BILE. Nothing so banal any more as
both garments in the same fabric and
marked by the same trimming and
treatment. No, the new ensemble
owes Its charm to far more interesting
accents than those.
Usually the coat and frock are of
two different materials, of the same
coloring, of course. Very often the
color of the fur on the coat is repeat
ed in different trimming on the frock.
And even If the coat and frock do not
subscribe absolutely TO the same treat
ment and detail, some note such as
tucking or empiecements announces
to the world that the coat and frock
were just made for one another and
for you.

gerie touches on this frock. 1t is char
acteriStic of most of the new spring
daytime dresses that they have ac-
cents either of alencon lace, or irish
crochet, or some equally as effective
note of lingerie. 1t should also be TAX
en- into account that patent leather
shoes and a patent leather belt is
worn with this youthful street frock.
The outlook for patent leather Access
series is very promising. One of the
most popular items for spring Is the
wide soft belt made of supple patent
leather in several of the seasons new
bright colors.
While in the picture the dress shown
in the center panel above presents
very simple appearance, 1t Is really
very stunning model. Its chic and its
charms are due to great extent to
the material of which it is made, which
is very sheer wool crepe in the fash
ionable rust shade. BY the way, fash
ions latest wrinkle is thin woolens of
this genre in lovely pastel shade

and a soft green being among colors
heralded for spring.
AS to the styling of this dress its
chief claim to distinction is its bodice
front which fastens in a crss-cross
manner These crossed effects have
been generally adopted by designers
and are being featured throughout the
spring mode. Brown kid shoes and
brown kid belt make an effective color
blend with the rust tone of the fabric
which fashions the dress.
