*ffi WAS almost momentarily stunned a day
£-> or two ago by reading an announcement to
the effect that the peerless Adelina Patti, in her
sere and yellow days, had reached the conclu-
sion that hereafter her life is to be devoted to
labors of philanthropy. I was so affected be-
cause I had known for years the sordid reputa-
tion that the great diva has enjoyed all by her-
self. She has never been known to befriend a
poor singer, or actor, or any one else ; and al-
though she may have wept salt tears when her
hairless dog died, she has never had any feeling
for the sufferings of those associates in art who
have been less fortunate than she. If she has
ever perpetrated an act of charity, she has ad-
hered so closely to the biblical injunction, not
to let the left hand know what the right hand
doeth, that not a soul besides herself is aware
of what is going on.
Well, this new scheme of Patti's is nothing
less than providing at her Welsh palace, Craig-
Y-Nos, for the musical education of naturally
gifted girls without money, with a view to pre-
paring them for the stage. She proposes as a
means to this beneficent end, to give a final

"Heave-Ho," for bass or baritone, a character-
