Paris.-That "the most beautiful
woman of Europe , " may be dlscontent-
1 d with her job Is shown b ) ' the extraordinary -
" , traordinary case of Lina CavaHer ! .
As a music hall star of the first
magnitude she was flattered and feted.
She had but to show her beautlul person -
son and warble a "few ditties to earn
heavy money. The , vorld had practically -
tically told her that her loveliness was
all-sumcient without talent ,
Lina CavaHeri tossed aside the bril-
Uant sinecure and plodded the hard
road leading to grand opera , When
Parisians learned It they shrugged at
the unpractical choice and as good as
forgot her , Now she has just given I
them a mighty jolt b ) ' coming baclt as
a grand opera star , with a rumored
cngagement at the Paris opera Itself : I
and furthermore she has just bought
a splendid mansion in the Avenue de
Messlne. Dut why she grew discontented -
tented with being "the most beautiful
woman of Europe , " and how she threw
up the music hall sinecure on the orr-
chance of succeeding In grand opera
remains a secret.
The secret spring of Lina's change
of base began with a great hope , continued -
tinued through a great despair and
ended in a great devotion. The hope
and the despair were those of world\ \ ) '
love , Dut the devotion was that of a
sister.
1\othlng could be more striking than
r . the contrast between the lives chosen
I by the two girls. When their widowed
\ motber died in Rome In 1889 Ada was
15 years of age and Lina 17. As there
were no relatives and the property was
small , friends put them In a convent.
school or aristocratic connections ,
whose side specialty was the education -
cation of poor girls of good family for
governesses and comlmnions.
Has World at Her Feet ,
On account or her age , Llna's time in
the school was short. Once in the
world , it did not take her long to de-
-
gave her friendship to Prince Alexan-
dol' BUl'ltinHkl , second son of a considerable -
siderable Russian house and a young
man about Paris.
Prince Alexandcr came to have immense -
mense admiration for the talent , the
voice , the beauty and the goodness or
the girl.
"You must cultivate that voice , " ho
told her , "You 11.1'0 wustlng 'ourllelt
on the music hall stage , which is not
worth ) ' of you. Talw up opera ! " he
udvlsed her.
" ' 1'hat is what my sister Is nlwny"

Those who Imew her at that time r1
clare that , personally , she found bl'

Prince Alexander was delighted. At
least , he professed himself delighted.
Indeed. It was generally thought that
the two young people so admirably fitted -
ted to each other would certainly mar-
ry-a supposition made the less unreasonable -
sonable by the well-cnown ] fact that
Prince Alexander's elder brother and
head of the famlly had only a few years
previously married a celebrated Russian -
sian actress-with whom he was living
haIJIJlIy. Llna was simply working to
malee herself worthy of the a1llance.
She would not ask Prince Alexander

the Itlnll of success she might expect ,

famous Ronacher's she had enormous' '
'Vogue as a beauty and weurer of mag-

catchy ditties , And they were suffi-

In 1894 she was drawing alI Parls-

rp.'ismalers ; : and mlIllners of the Rue

aud hope. Then Lina's chance came in
19OQ , when she wus alIowed to make
her debut at no less a musical center
than the Theater Royal of Lisbon as
Nedda in "Pagllaccl. "
Unhappily , the Lisbon public is n
hard one. When it pays for grand
opera it insists on hnving something
near perfection , The debutante was
young , exceedingly lovely , with a
sweet volco ; but she showed Inexperi-
ence. Did she not also display nervousness -
ousness due to emotion over some lov-
ers' misunderstanding ? One would
preor to think so-for the judging o (
Prince Alexander !

Too Dutiful for Governess.
On leaving the Roman convent
school three years after her elrler sister -
ter had quitted it , Ada CavallCl'1 ( to
give her the family name adopted and
made famous by the other ) had to face
the same hard Ilroposition that confronted -
fronted Llna.
She was quite as beautiful as Llna ,
Indeed-as you shaH learn , If you have
not already heard it-the sisters loolt so
much allko that photographs o ( one
have been mlstaleen for the other.
Also , she had a voice. Yet she never
hesitated. She had been educated ( era
a governess. It WIlS correct and honorable -
orablo to bo a governess , And a governess -
erness she would be. Even after she
had lost her first three places by a
strange and unique fault she never
wavered.
Surely , it was a unlquo fauit ,
"This ) 'oung girl is too beautiful to
bo a governess , " wrote her first employer -
ployer to the superioress of the school
as she returned hor. "Her conduct has
been Irreproachabe ] , She is goodness
itself , intolllgent , pa'Uent and with a
t.1lent for teaching. Yet 1 wlll not
keep her. Her presence cannot but
provo a danger in a household. "
At lallt a gooll and generous lady-
beautiful enough berse ] ( not to be jealous -
ous o ( another's beauty-took the persecuted -
secuted Signorina Ada liS teacher for
her two small children. 1 ma ) ' not
give her name ; she was the wlo of a
foreign consul.
Ada Cavalieri had watched her bril-
lIunt sister's triulllphs with uneasy
wonderment that grow to terror.
mIl maids are born-not made. In
spite of her dazzling beauty-the sallie
benuty IIno for llne that hlld made
I lna fumous-Ada had , from the he-
ginning , all the frigid timidity , the
chaste trnnqullllt ) ' nnd the hard judgments -
ments , both ( or herself and others , at
the born old lUUltl.
She hud fought with Llna to give up
cess , and arUstic and social satlsac-
tlons of grund opera ceased to cost her
anything financially , On the contrar1 ,
she had never done so weB In the hllIls ,
At the Theater of ltavenna , Ilt the
Grand Theater of PalernlO , at the
Opera of St. Petersburg , and notab1y
at the ultra-artistic Cuslno-Theater at.
1\1onto Carlo she hus had repeated en-
gagements. In lulssla she is aU the
rage. Her own country of It.aly ha3
talwn her to its heart.
And she has bought a mansion in thlt
A venue de Messlne for her Paris residence -
dence !
During her present summer vacation
she wlll ( urnlsh it herself-a work o (
IJeaceful satisfaction.
Deautiful Old Maid.
It is a quiet street and rich-the
A venue de Messlne. It Is a short
street. of only 3.1 numbers , running
from the statue of William Shakespeare -
spearo in the Ilttle square of the Boulevard -
vard I1aussmann to the dellshtful Pare
Monceau , surrounded by Its palaces.
It Is a street of the newly rich , per
haps : few great titled families llve in
It. Dut those who Inhabit it are snug
and at Ileace wtth the world. WoU ,
among all , there wlll bo none mol'o
snug than a most gorlous ] old maid.
You know who it Is. There can bC
but one such-"the most beautiful old
maid In the world ! "
Ada Cavalleri takes charge oC Lllla'g

In her own way she is happy. Is it
