Is a real Gibson girl, one of them. Some of the eminence of the master Is reflected in the model, for Miss Nel son has a reputation from one end of the country to the other for her stat uesque beauty. It Is said that Mr. Gib son found In this girl his ideal of the qualities he has so successfully por trayed through the medium of his fa cile pen. Miss Nelson is both young and at tractively beautjful. Her natural re semblance to the type that Gibson made famous was remarked by critics some three years ago, and she finally met the great artist, who also said she por trayed that type of beauty he had striven to illustrate. This Indorsement naturally carried with It a lot of publicity, much to the discomfiture of many maidens who had laid claim to being the only original model that Mr. Gibson had drawn from.

Says All Singers Are Crazy. "All singers are crazy, more or less!" was the way Oscar Hammerstein char acterized the eccentricities of the fa mous prime donne he encountered dur ing his three months' tour abroad in search of talent. "It makes no differ ence what country you find them in or what their nationalities . may be, they are all the same crazy as they make tnem." Asked about his experiences in se curing singers abroad, Mr. Hammer stein said that he could write a book on the things he saw and the persons he met. "Durlnp. my search I heard more than five hundred voices and such a va riety. Of this number, I succeeded in finding only forty-seven voices that came up to the standard at the Man hattan Operahouse. As for the eccen tricities of those singers, you can put them all In one class they are one and all crazy. Whether they are great singers or singers of no account, they are affected with the same disease. 1 found this out on several occasions re cently. No matter how bad I found some of them, all believed that they were superior to pattl, Melba or Ca ruso. If you don't agree with them and engage them at once for the. high est salary ever paid they believe the world Is against them that there is a secret Mafia or some other kind of or ganization that is arrayed against them."
