She hat lavished wealth upon the

contrived only te be hissed from
the stage in Havana.
She had rehearsed and made
every arrangement for her
appearance in the, title role in the
operatic version of "Zaza," only
te retire from th,e Chicagb Opera
Company tye night before her
scheduled debut. ,

Her voice i soprano, nnd would be
geed, It Is said, Jf she could keep en
the key. At any rate, Ganna moved
from the Senoma te the Hetel Ansenln,
at Seventy-fourth street and Broad

voice. He was the ferme valet of the
late Jean de Reszke. He also wrts a

Within a few months 'came announce
ment of her engagement te Lewell M.
Palmer, Jr.. of exclusive Columbia
Heights, president of the Palmer Lime

after seeing the pjay at the Century.
His first wife was Amy Burnham, of
Portland, Me., who had divorced him.
Six months later, without' apparent
cause, the engagement was broken. ' It
became known later that Mr. Palmer's
father had violently opposed the match,
threatening te alter his will If the
ceremony took place. At any rate.
Mr. Palmer's father seen died, and the
engagement wns broken.
Anether Husband? Never
Even a Fiance Is Bad
It was at this juncture that Ganna
made h,er famous remark concerning
husbands and slaves, "I cannot think
of marriage," she exclaimed, In frac
tured English. "Te me art Is every
thing. "Husband? Never again, as you say
In this country. He is a hindrance te

"My husband must be my slave,"
she sighed. "It Is hard te find men in
this country who are willing te be
slaves. They are most quick te offer
themselves In marriage. Ah, but yes.
They see you once en the stage, and auk
you te wed them the same night. I

"Everything Is done in a rush, I
de net like that. A man should take
time, and come and talk, and flirt, a

"But no. One, two, three married

He has a will of his own, and I, alas, I

Upen her first visit te his office she
noticed en his desk the portrait of a
young woman
"Hew de you happen te have my

resembled her te a remarkable degree.
"Unfortunately, that is net your
photograph," answered the specialist,
"but It is the picture of a girl, with
whom I was In love twenty years age."
The elderly scientist wns a bachelor,
and th)s meeting culminated in their
marriage. He was twenty-five, years
her senior, nnd aimeBt a recluse, as far
as society was concerned. She moved
te his.heme In East Ninety -fourth street
and began Riving a series of musicals.
The leading singers of' the world and
the fashionables of New Yerk crowded

would be' met Caruso, Geraldine Far

was most tactful. Often she would ask
them te sing but she never sang her

years, but it wnu darkened by the trag

Upen her return te New Yerk after

charges and counter-charges, and even
