NORDICA THE SONGBIRD
A PRODIGIOUS WORKER
Earned Great Fees, But First She Ever
Received Was Paid For Silence.
Apart from her artistic achievements, Sims.
Nordlca, for many years one of the most popu
lar soprano vocalists on the operatic ami con
cert stage, whose recent death was so widely
deplored on both sides of tho Atlantic, enjoyed
the distinction of being the greatest woman
wage-earner In the world. On one ocrarion she
received a fee of 600 ($3000) for one concert
of one hour's duration at Washington, while it
was hor custom for several years prior to her
death to sing at a hundred concerts during a
period of 2S weeks-nn average of nearly four
concerts per v,eel;-ror which she received the
total sum of 35,000. or 350 for each appea!
ance. And so far from such a fee being prohibi
tive, transatlantic managers were always anx
lous to secure their services, and willing to
pay whatever fee this "Queen of Song" demand
ed. Curiously enough-and Slme. Nordlca herself
often told the. atory-the first fee she ever
received was not for singing, but for consent
ing not to sing. As a little girl at her home
In Farmlngton, Mass., she used to love to try
her voice at all times, and, much to the an
noyance of hr elder sisters, would persist In
Joining In with them whenever they sang duets
together. So, In order to Bllence th f.,t.-
diva, they resorted to bribery and gave her
some money on condition that she promised to
keep quiet.
It was Slme. Nordfa's greatest delight, how
ever, to spend a portion of the huge f-eS she
earned In providing for her old servants ami
pet animals. As a matter of fact, part of her
estate at Hempstead, on Long Island, was
given over to the use of her old servants, who
lived In the greatest comfort.

Isordlca. who thoucht nothing qf traveling
