niaii company ran bulM. a corps of caro
takln;; servants ami every conceivable com
fort arc no guarantee that tho nwlft changes
of tho temperate one will not bring hoarse
ness to a singer, ami particularly to a
singer who Ik daring enough to give a re
cital unaided, as N'ordlca Is doing tills sea
sun. There is no (older place In the United
Stntos than nli ng the Maine coast, where
Ulllan Norton nas born Hut Ulllan Nor
ton and Lillian Nordlia are very different
persons. Lillian Norton was a slurdy girl
with a largo voice that gave iniich promise,
hut was rather inetnlllc and did not satisfy
the artistic soul of It?, possessor. Tho Maine
girl loft her friends and their lavish praise,
which she believed to be unmerited, and
began the culture of the wonderful voice
which has brought nil the world to the feet
of Nordlca, the queen of grand opera sinn
ers. Years of life In (leriuany ami Italy caused
tho girl from tho state of pines to forget
below zero weather, or rather caused h"r
volco to forget tho rigor of the cllmato In
which the singer npont her childhood. Nor
dlca loves tin cold, but she has nn dcilro to
enjoy It when the price might be about
$1,000 per illem.
Viirillcii In (liiinliii.
Thu Saturday afternoon Noidlca spent In
Omaha recently sho was wrapped carefully
In n great broadcloth coat, which was lined
with beaver and had a collar that stood
above the top of her queenly head. Then
sho started out for a walk. A handkerchief
was wrapped about her mouth to guard her
throat from the cold wind. Hut all of this
care did not convince the prima donna that
she would not catch cold. She remained out
In the air for less than five minutes and
during that time did not open the mouth
from which golden notes were to pour that
night at the Kounte Memorial church.
"Oh, yes, so many people nivy us sing
ers our voices nnd long for nn operatic ca
reer. I am frequently told that my llfo Ib
so vnricd and Interesting." Nordlca sighed
nftor sho had been driven back Into hor car
liy tho Nebraska breezes "Then- Is no
llfp ns monotonous an tb.it of a singer.
Work Is nil there Is In store for us, but
then, of course, wo dollght In tho work.
singer must always practice solf-deninl
Keeping n volco In good condition Is ns
dlincult ns Us cultivation. The sin pop vehn
gives the public his best effort must sloop
and rest and starve hlms. If. Self-denial
must bo practiced constantly. All excite
ment must be avoided and most pleasures
forfeited."
The car in which Madame Nordlca lives
Ij nnmed after her favorite rolo "Brun
klldo." It Is a home worthy of the groat
slngor and Is as cosy ns tho proverblnl
vlno-clad cottage. Nonlica li a great homo
body nnd Is very dnmostlc In her tastes
U tho windows of the car arc dainty whlto
cnrtnlns. which worn made by the great
ninger, and In all the rooms are traces of
;i woman's hand
Nerdlcn's sister. Mis (icoigc Walker. Is
sharing the moving home of the singer at
priscnt. and before tho end of the season
another Mister Is to Join them In III li
travels Mr. K. llomayne Simmons. Nor
dlca s accompanist, Is also a member of
the great soprano's household. Two maids
(inil several colored servants complete the
pirsonnel of the party that lives In tho
llrunhlfdo."
The drawing room is tho crowning glory
of the "llrunhllde." It Is In the center of
ihe car and Is quite Inrge. Tho woodwork
in the room Is mahogany nnd the draperies
are green. A touch of yellow appears In
the celling. In one corner of the room Is
a great divan of green plush covered with
n half dozen lnrge. bright-colored pillows
At olio end of the car nro an organ nga im
the wall and a writing desk with a grea
mahogany top. Against one of the sldt
walls stands a hamlsomo piano wlih a ma
hogany case. A few easy chairs am) a
large tablo adorned with handsome spray
of roses complete the furnishings
.mm ttiieen'M IHIK lllril.
Ono member of the Nordlca household,
and a very Important member, too. wns
overlooked. A pet canary holds the place
of honor in the drawing room Ills gold
cage hangs nboe the piano, where (he
sinner can watch the yellow fellow warble
as she vocalizes. The bird Is Nordlca's only
pet and It Is not so much her pet as her
master, for the great singer watches the
little fellow continually as he chirps away
in his wild abandon.
The sleeping rooms In Nordlca's little
palace arc much larger than the rooms in
most private cars and comfortable brass
beds replace the berths of former days
Pressing tables and comfortable chairs give
ihe chambers the appearance of the smnller
looms in a llrst -class hotel.
t one end of the "Hrunhilde" are the
l,Hi In n and the servants' quarters and at
In- other end Is a large reception room,
ulil'h is tilled with the baggage of the
parly. Kvery gown Nordlca wears In pub
lie has a separate trunk, a tall trunk, which
stand on end ami Is large enough to con
tain a dress form, upon which the gorgeous
gowns are hung when not In uso.
The Nordlcn one sees upon tho stngo la
no more beautiful than the wholesome
women one meets In the "llrunhllde." (inrge
oils clothes do not enhance her beauty. Sho
Is as queenly In a plain gray walking gown
as In n Worth creation. Her regnl cnrrlngc
can be seen as plainly upon the strcot ns
upon the s'.ige.
Nature has done every thing possible for
Nordlca nnd Nordica has had the good
sense to enhance her charms by keeping
herself free from all worry and by leading
a life unlike the strenuous i xlstcnco of
nn st stage celebrities. She Is not forced
to resort to coMinetlcs and paints to cover
up the traces of age. Her skin Is ns clear
ns a child's ami the coloring of her cheeks
Im not unlike that of a Hl-ytnr old girl
Her eyes ate a bright blue and are arched
by dark brow. Her hair Is light brown
ami in a bright light shows a Huge of red
There Is nothing artificial in Mine. Nor
dica's appearance. Her clothes are such n
any well-bred woman would choose nnd
show none of the eccentricities which nil
great singers are supposed to possess. She
Is a genius without Ihe earmarks, a beauti
ful, gracious woman who has mastered the
greatest of nrta.
