Shrinks From All to Hide
Loss of Beauty.
CARLSBAD Oct 17 Adelina Patti.
Baroness Cederstrom, now in her seven
tieth year, developed a dread of pho
tographers which comes near 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
self up in morbid seclusion, receiving few
visits and declining al) invitations, even
those of royal! t>
The reason is that she hates to have
any one that at last she is an old
woman, in looks as well as hi artual
years She has not allowed her picture
to be raken since the last of her beauty
vanished, which was only a few years
ago Now a wreck of her former self, I
she is filled -with regrets for the coinpli- .
ments she was used to receive in her I
eartier 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 and
• applaudeo.
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 her vdice and her looks.
Patti, on the last of her famous ‘fare
well tours" of America, was besieged with
the question. “How do you keep youi
beauty ’ ' To this slip replied
“Up to 40 I ate and lived as 1 chose
Since then I have eaten no red meat and I
have drunk only white wine and soda.
When 1 eel weak a glass of champagne .
picks m» up I never touch spirits or
liqueurs. I drink a great deal of water
“My d e consists chiefly of light food
and white meat, such as sweetbreads

What Women Want to Know

“Superfluous hairs on face or /orearms
can be instantly and painlessly removed
by a single application of a paMe 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.
“Manv suffer from tired, sore, swollen
or aching feet. Nothing will give quick
er relief than Mother’s Salve. It is easy
to use, quick to art Tt relieves pain in
any part of the body—headache, back
ache or sore muscles.
'Penciling the eyebrows is unsatisfac
tory ami unnecessary. To matle them
grow darker and thicker, gently massan

“Japanese women never have hair on
the face or suffer from sunburn or
freckles. They seldom use face powder,

by dissolving a jiacLutge of mavatone in a
half-pint of witch hazel. Applied in the
morning, this ‘holds’ all day and keeps
the skin soft, smooth and satiny.
