HER POINT OF VIEW S "Being the governor's wife Is like being tho wife of a Methodist minis ter," remarked a ladj tho other even ing who was chatting with a gioup of friends In the upper window eeat at the governor's reception. Looking down tho crash covered stalls could be seen the moving procession of Isl tois as they passed out the- fiont en tiance, where the throng piescd eager faces against the window panes no doubt thinking like "Glory Me Quall" of the "lotri of good times and wo ain't In 'em." Hepiesentatlve Fow, expansive mid not paittoulaily decor ative, dliccted their exit and, vvandei lng about like u well meaning guar dian angel, vvus Congiessman Giahain, the governors suceessoi, whose coun tenance beamed benignly at all. Out and in the dom toward the dining room paced guests In evening diess and among them wcie many olllceis in glu tei lug unlfoims, the epaulettes of bii gadlei general and those of let'sei lank Hashing under the electile lights. "Deal me'" continued the speaker. "it's hoi i Id, this having to get up and out at I ho i nd of four veais It's nil or In the old vvoild, where, If jou belong at all, jou'io thero for life, not cvtn being batnd out by any antics ou may see lit to cut up. Poor Mis. Hast ings, bow she must hate it all! 1'vo ilwas thought tho new ministers wife must get a certain amount of biit Isfuetlon In c rltlclzlng her predeerssoi 's housekeeping. You know In some pat sonages the things are left just as they nro heie, and the new lady can suiely see lots of things to find fault about If she is at all inclined that w.ij. Oveihearlng fragment, ot this con versation the truth of the comments weie Impressed on the listener. The fact Is you can live n. good part of four i jeais In a house without getting at tached to some portions of It. Now one couldn't become violently fond of that big leception room with the led da mask on the walls and the white and gold piano near the plllaied alcove, and et one can fancy that in the thoughts of the gentle lady who has just left the executive mansion at Har- rlsbuig must coma pleasant memoiles or mo Driiuani nignts wnen in tne long line of beautiful women she has stood by the massive figure of the governor of this gieat state with her aims filled with American beauty roses and the, I soft color glowing In her cheeks as she receiveu me nomage ot tne gieatest and the least who bowed before her, for whatever might have been tho mis takes of "Dan." lovely Mis. Hastings, with her gracious manner, her sweet ! dignity and extjulslte tact, will always I be remembered with affection and hon- or. Few women In nn exalted public i position have been moie lueal in their conception of its duties and responsi bilities as has this fair woman with her wistful eyee and chaimlng voice. Probably she did not caie much for that stately dining room with the mas sive sideboard, reaching to the cell ing, and its pondeious fuinituie. And yet, surely there aie pictures of state dinners befoie discord crept into the official family which must be pleasant to cherish. There was one when a great political leader whispered a weighty state eeciet as he leaned tow ard her during nn horn's conversation, and with deep imprcsslveness nsked her Influence In the aid of one who might some day be a powerful foe. There was that other dinner, when, by a swift. Intuitive ftash sbo saw the opportunity where a word could turn aside a threatened catastrophe at a particularly critical time. She said that word, nnd she can yet recall tho thrill of relief that seemed to lighten the facce In the circle at left and right. But sometimes she lemembern other magnificent feasts around that table when every race was a mask and al most she felt that beneath their smil ing the grimace of unvoiced plotting could be detected. Pei haps that little nook at tho head of the big staircase in tho light of tho secluded window was dearer, or pleas anter than oil, the eunny chamber where Baby Saiah laughed and played unconscious of tho shadows of political intrigue or disappointment. Tho executive mansion is not to bo left silent because of the absence of a child In the great rooms, for little Isa bel Stono Is like a sprite In her gaiety and loveliness. Many people who had not seen Mis Stone were amazed at her youthfulness. She Is the governor'a second wife, and seems but little older than hla daughter, Mie. Hlckllng. She Is tall and has much color and knows how to dress to perfection. At the In augural ceremonies she wore a golden brown cloth, and a big able collar, a brown hat with golden pheasant breasts and the whole effect was very pleasing, More than all, the observer was imc-cssed with her animation. She seemed to enjoy everything with the fresh, unhackneyed delight of a young girl. Some friend from her old home enme up to speak to her as the ceremonies weie about to conclude, and she greeted him with unaffected glad ness "Theie arc more of you ovfr at tho other side," he exclaimed, nnd then added hastily, with a pretty lit tle frown on her handsome brows: "Why don't they come and speak to me" I don't like them to Btand away off and look at tne I want them to come over here where I can talk to them." At the leception that night her gown was a beautiful creation ot white satin nnd splangctl chllfion. It was fairly tinseling with Its ilch sheer nnd her brilliant color was enhanced with the great armful of American beauty loses which she bore. Her dark hair was much waved and urianged loosely and drawn to the top of her head, where It was ui mounted by an ornament Her evening di esses ute all made with n high corsage and collai. It is whis pered thnt the governoi does not caio to have hei weal decollete bodices, i Mrs Stone costume the pievlous ev ening was a combination of grey broad cloth, white satin nnd rut steel em broidery, .with u grey velvet collar and git die. It was exceedingly elegant and lovely In e ffeet, but one forgets her drees In her sweet graelousncss and coidlalltv. She was picsent during the taking of the Joint ballot on AVcdnesday and was ejuletly attlted In dark cloth, with red In hei hut. Little Isabel was a picture on Monduy with her turquoise blue silk and ermine. She has palo golden cuils and Is an aleit, happy, little maid of, pet haps, six jears One ot the most piomlnent llfiures at the reception was the governor's son-in-law, Mi. Hlckllng, who Is very big nnd dark with the blackest poclble hair, mustache and side whiskers. He was exceedingly lively and bounced uround as If he were clad to be thpro and hoped that every body else was the same1. Mis John P. Ulkin Is a pretty woman who looked very attractive In pink satin. Mis Gobln wore a mauve bro cade, and, with her gentle chaim of manner, made many new fi lends among those who will be In ought closely In contact with the ofllclal family dur ing the next four earis Mrs Gobln was n Floiida girl whom the general met before he was a geneial In tho days of the other war Mrs William Con nell woie black velvet and point Ian Among other Seianton guests wire Mis John H Fair and Mi.

Answer Madame Mare-hesl, (pro nounced Marknyzte), the famoun teacher of singing In Paris, was boin ut Fiankfort-ontlio-Maln, In Germany In lS4r. she went to Pails to studv singing with the celebintcd Manuel Gaicia, who wus tne teachei of Jenny Llnd. Be sides studjlng singing she also made a thorough studj ot French, Spanish, Italian, harmony, acting nnd elocution In 1SI9 she went to London, where she made a successful debut as a conceit singer She continued to appear In Hnglaud until 1S12, in which veai she i etui nod to Frankfort to be mnirled to Salvatore de Castione, bettei known ns Signer Matches!. In 1852 she made her debut In Beilln, singing wltlf"her husband In the opeia of the "Bather of Seville." In 1834, after residing In Lon don and Florence, the took up their abode In Vienna, where Sladaino Mnr chesl began her career as a teacher of singing. She remained In Vienna, un til ISfil, teaching In the Vienna con seivattnj' und bilnglng out many tal ented singers. Hei fame had reached Paris, and In 1S61 she went to tho Fiench capital to teach In the famous Paris Conservatolie. The dliector of the Conservatolie at that time was Auber, who Insisted upon Madame Marchesl adopting the method then employed In the institution, which pro hibited the singing of Italian words, permitting Fit nth only An she was unwilling to submit to lestrlctlons In this direction .Madame Matches! decid ed to make an nitlstle poslton for hei st If In Paris w ithout the inlluenee of the great Conservatoire She succeeded bejond all expectation, pupils flocking In from eveiy side. Owing to falling healtn her physi cians advised her In lSt3 to leave Paris. About that time she lectlved a veij' flattering offer to teach In tho Conser vatory of Colonge. Germany, whlih she accepted After h iv lug resided so long lu the French capital, Madame Mar chesl, found Cologne eltili and unlntei tstlng, and It is not suipilslng that when aftei thleu eais bud passed, she lecelved a rail to leturn to Vienna and again teach In the eonseivatoiy (whleh had undeigone m inv e hiinges for the better In hei alistnee). she tuieplod, and Soptembci, Si,S, round her link ut her old post In Vienna Speaking of hei pupils In Vienna she sajs.

Besides new pupils, theie were twenty-eight of her Viennese pupils who bad followed her to Paris bring ing their families with them Fiom that day to this she has had classi s for the formation of the voice, for pronunciation and for stvlo, also for those pupils Intending to come out os conceit and operatic singeia She frequently had aitlsts from the grand opera to sing with her pupils In con certed paits In 18S2, Hubensteln, who was then In Paris, expressed a wish to hear Ma dame Marchesl's Husslan puplta and a special matinee was accoidlnglj' ar ranged In his lionoi. About this time a joung girl, who has since become famous all ovei Fin ope nnd America, began her studies at the Maiehesi school. This was the celebrated Em ms. Calve It wni at a matinee musl calo given at the Marchesl school Dec 20, lbSO, that Madame Marchesl's pu pil, tho now world-i enow nod pilma donna, Mtdame Melba, was heaul for the Hist time. At a pupil recital in Paris In IBS" another ot .,uuamc Mar chesl's pupils, a young and beautiful American girl, Emma Fames, who has also become famous, and Is at this tlmo singing In tho notable performances of grand opeia In Now York, Mist ap peared before the public. Madame Maichcni continues to teach in Fails at her elegant mansion, which Is the Hue Jouffroj', In one of the most fashionable parts of tho city. In hei long professional career she has been nn Intimate filenel of most of tho musical celebrities of the eenturj-. To this day the Bleat Fieneh composers are proud of being present at tho con ceits In the Marchesl nchool when somo of their woiks aie brought out. As a teachor, Madame Marchesl has biought out more pupIlJ who havo becomo fam ous than any other living teacher. Of these thero have been Americans not a fow. She is n bitter enemy to all half-hearted woik, and If ti student does not Intend to work and wot!; hard, she had better stay at home If she values her peace of mind. Madame Maiehesi teaches after the Conner vutoiy plan, numelv. in clashed. Pink chinch, has consented to re She will, under no consideration, gtve a private lesson to anybodj'. The gioatest singers, when they leturn to her for further coaching, must take their places in the classes with tho lest. In her autobiography, Madame Marchesl gives her reasons for this as follows: "I am of the opinion that claea tuition In every branch of study Is suporlor to private lessons, and this Is especlnllj title in singing. Tho pu pil lenrns a great deal by listening, tho te icher Is enabled to give those with weak voices fiequent rests, while pupils who Intend devoting themselves to teaching learn how the different Undo of voices have to be managed. Class-Instruction counteiacts a tenden cy on the pupil's part to over-estimate her own powers" Speaking of studj-, she continues: "I cannot repeat often enough that, besides singing, pu pils shoulil also lenrn tne piano, har monj, languages and literature. In older to become a great artist, a good singer, or a teacher, It Is not sufficient to study singing alone." Muelnmo Maiehesi, like all conscien tious teachers, has her tilals In hav ing to answer questions which ought never to bo asked. Sho says: "When patents bring their daughters to me, tho genernlly ask: 'How long will jou keep bet '' or 'plcatse make It as short as possible, or 'whit Is my daughter's voice worth?' or 'will she ever earn as much ns Pattl?' and so on. Art is looked upon as a business which should give quick returns. The lack of gieat singers nt the present day la due not onlv to the Ignorance and want of eneigy on the part ot tho teacher, but also to the feverish Impatience of the pupils and their parents." Additional Interest Is given to this nrlcle fiom tho fact that a daughter of Madame Mat chest's, Blanche Mar chesl, Is to make her Ameilcan debut In New York on the 20th of the piesent month.
