ME. PATTI. OLD,
DREADSCAMERA
Famous Singer. Now Near 70.
Shrinks From All to Hide
Loss of Beauty.
CARLSBAD. Oct 17 Adelina Patti,
Baroness Cederstrom. now in her seven
tieth year, has developed a dread ot pho
tographers which comes neat to being a
mania, it has just become known here
During her annual visit for the ‘cure’
the prfma donna, whose voice was unriv
alled for more than 50 years, locked her
■elf up in morbid seclusion, receiving few
visits and declining all invitations, even
those of royallty
The reason is that she bates to have
any one that at last she is an old
woman, in looks as well as tn actual
years She has not allowed her picture
to be taken since the last of her beauty
vanished, which was only a few years
ago Now a wreck of her former self,
she is filled with regrets for the compli
ments she was used to receive in her
earlier sixties, on her "eternal youth '
It is four years since Patti’s voice was
heard in Carlsbad. Then she sang
"Home. Sweet Home,” for some charitable
purpose, but it was a sad affair. Last
year she lived In a hotel There was an
other prima donna living there, and this
lady occasionally sang "Home. Sweet
Home'' at the open window Passersby
thought it was Patti and stood still mid
applauded.
That enraged Patti, and she vowed
never again to live In a hotel. These
and other vagaries give color to the re
port that her strong mind has broken
with Iter voice and her looks
Patti, on the last of her famous "fare
well tours” of America, was besieged with
the question, "How do you keep yout
beauty To this she replied:
Ip to 40 I ate and lived as I chose
Since then I have eaten no red meal and
have drunk only white win** and soda.
When 1 feel weak a glass of champagne
picks m* up. I never touch spirits or
liqueurs. I drink a great deal of water
"My diet consfste chiefly of light food
and white meat, such as sweetbreads,
sheeps' brains, fowl and vegetables I
(deep with the window wide open summer
and winter An elaborate toilet at night
Is essential "

What Women Want to Know
By Mme. D’Mllle.
S'lperfluftijß hairs on or forearms
can be instantly and painlessly removed
bj a single application of a paste made
by mixing delatone and water. Cover the
hairs with the paste, leave on two min
utes, wipe off, wash the surface in warm
water, and the hairs are gone.
“Many suffer from tired, sore, swollen
or aching feet. Nothing will give quick
er rpllef than Mother’s Salve. It is easy
to use, quick to act. It relieves pain in
any part of the body headache, back
ache or sore muscles.
“Penciling the eyebrows is unsatisfac
tory an<l unnpoDS'--.irv. To make them
grow darker and thicker, gently mas-a-o
with pyroxin. If applied to the lash roots
with the finger tips, the lashes will grow
long and silken.
“Japanese women never have hair on
the face or suffer from sunburn or
freckles. They seldom use face powder,
but rely almost solely upon a lotinn made
by dissolving a package of mayatone in a
halt-pint of witch hazel \pplied in the
morning, this ‘holds’ all day and keeps
the skin soft, smooth and satiny.
“Too mu< ii ii oisture cau jes ’he hair to
lose color, become dry and brittle and fall
°'G Ury shampooing invigorates the
roots Mix four ounces of orris root with
a package of thereox. Sprinkle a little of
the mixture on the head, brush out, and
the hair will be clean, sweet, fluffy, lus
trous and easy 1o do up.” <Advt.|)
