In an age of "records" and wonders Mme. Patti has made a unique position for herself,. and in the chronicles of song she will probably,

ways occupy the first place. For fifty-six years she has sung to an adoring public, ro ceiving homage from crowned heads and wor ship from their subjects.

One really cannot imagine Patti retiring, for in her case time seems to have stopped still.'- Besides, who will there be to sing. "Home, sweet home" to us when she has gone?", Will anyone dare?, I doubt it.

Justin Maria Patti was born in 1843, in Madrid," and is, therefore, according to the laws of arithmetic, 63 years of age; but thosd of us who have watched that slim, youthful-looking- figura appear, year after year, in London feel! incllaed to doubt that the usual mathematical" processes apply to Patti, Dark, polite, and still full of vivacity, she has no rival that one can recall among public women of the day who looks so much younger than she really is except: Queen Alexandra.

In Patti's case it is all the more wonderful, since she is of a Soutbero race, whose women. ago early as a rule, and one weli hava thought that fifty six years of public appearances, during, which she must have girdled the globe many, times and given many thousands of perform ances, would have left their mark upon her. But those years have touched her... ever, so lightly
