Florence boasts a remarkable quartet of American omen a St. Louis woman who stands among the best voice teachers In the Italian city; a , woman physician from San Francisco; daughter of Brooklyn, who, when bnrely out ot her teens, founded and maintained by her own energy and funds an institution which aspires to be called "The American Industrial School for Italian Working Girls," and a Philadelphia woman conducting an "Arts and Crafts." The first of these, Madame Barrao Chla, as Kate Bensberg, achieved an en viable success in Italian opera, appear ing for some years as prima donna In the chief Italian cities and in Monte video and Buenos Ajres with the cele brated Ferrari pem csmpany. As' a young girl, she was sent to Stuttgart, where she studied under JMadatne Sohroeiier, under whose pa tronage she made her debut at Kroll'B theatre in Berlin; while still in her teens. After a season she went to London. There she studied oratoria nd appeared with the Carl Rosa Opera company I .V.:V. .'..AMI AvAA J ' k If h x I Ivy ' 1 ' l ' tFi X.v.':'': 'J "V ....

That is the real renson Mrs. Augusta Beib, the woman who posefl as a man for nine years, gave as the cause for her masquerade.

Mary Ilairlss. Florence's Amer ican woman physician, docs not agree with Madame Hurracehia about the American girl living abroad. When I found her in a pretty upartment In the Hotel Berchielli on the Lung 'Arno, she replied to the question In t lie negative. She lias considerable experience to base her opinion on, since, after practicing studying In Vienna and Berlin. Last s3AMZ25S?-&TJRJ8 ACCAA year the earthquake In her cltv left her fV'M? ZJSJ-fiirS ("VVTM MADAME KATE n After two years she went to America, where for three seasons she Bang in operatic concerts. With the object of further study, Madame Bar- racchla then returned to Parts, where i . she became a favorite pupil of Madame Marches). During her studies in the JTreneh capital she was offn heard as i a. soloist at the American cnurch in tho i Rue de Berry. The Paris Figaro, speak ing of her voice, called It "tho voice of tn angel." SSonzogno, the famous Mi lanese publisher and impresario, saw In her an ideal prima donna for Italy and offered her an engagement which t she promptly accepted. I'nder his man i - agement she appeared with great suc- , cess in Ambrolse Thomas' "Hamlet." i - "Rtgoletto," "Travlata," "Lucia" and many other operas. She also created the chief rolo In Leoncavallo's "Pag llaccl." A happy marriage Interrupted her ca reer for a time and when she reap peared it was in London In the Queen's Jiall concerts under Henry Wood. After ! two years her work was again Inter : rupted. this time by the death of her liosband, and she returned to Italy. She settled in Florence as a teacher of singing. Madame Barracchia has very i decided views on.the American girl stu ients abroad. Speaking to me recently he said: "As a rule, the American girl comes bread for voice study too late. Three to four years of study ought to fit a ' tdudent for a public "career and she ehouid be ready, speaking, of course. . on general principles, when she is bout lb or 16 at the latest." "Do you find the American girl stu dent Industrious."' Madame Barracchia smiled. "I once beard a well known musician In Paris ay that there were only two kinds of American girls one the serious Ameri can, and that she wan the finest woman 1n the world, the other the frivolous American, and she was the most frivo lous; there was no medium species. I don't know that 1 am exactly of his pinion, but I have observed that the American student sometimes wishes to accomplish too much In a short time and then overworks, for she comes over bere and wishes to combine study and the so-called having a good time. The young student must remember that art is an exacting ni'stress. and many aerlnVes must be made in her favor." "And what is your opinion of her com I rig abroad elor.c?' "It is better, of courfe. for a girl to come with snm" oloer ind experienced person. If possible: but there Is no reason why a sensible sn weii brought tip H'rl with f lust sense of her own dignity shO'iM not com over to studv Jone. As long as she htiavps herseif r.o one will notice or nioiest her. She must observe the ordinary st..v inr I of wl at is rro.-r in an;,- retpeciabie walk C'f life. It would he well for b-: ho-v-ver. to remember that conditions of life in a la.ge frrelgn city are no! the arne coiidi;i--::s peculiar to a little the possessor of four front slnne steps In place of a splendid apartment-house, and after a visit home she decided to settle permanently in Florence. "The worst thing," she began In an swer to my inquiry, "Is that our girl students come abroad with too 111 tie capital. It was quite right years ago, when living over here was really cheap. But things have changed here ns well as at home. Prices of all kinds have gone up, particularly in Italv. In Ger many one can still live cheaply, but hardly i the rate these girls expect. They hear of the cheapness abroad and come expecting to live on money on which they would starve at home. Now, for Instance, I have met a girl who ar rived with $300 to last her five years. Some one hal told her that teaching could be found for her support How can that be true, when teachers are everywhere willing to give lessons for even so low as u few cents an hour? In Germany there are women giving lessons for half a mark, or 12V4 cents, an hour. Here In Italy the usual price for English lessons is a lira (20 cents) an hour. Another girl had J500 for a year, to include passage money, les sons In music and languages and board. In Paris such rases appear at the worst. There many girls are strug gling along on almost nothing. "The economies, unfortunately, are along the lines of food and fire. Many also live alone. In consequence, shiv ering and chilled, they eat food bought ready-coked in small quantities, badly served and without the repose secured by sitting down to a properly served men. And oil the time the 'brain Is being worked hard when deprived of Its fuel. Besides, living alone preys on a girl's spirits. A woman must have some one to love, and since propinquity plays eo large a part in love affairs, th neatest man at hand finds a point of And If not a man, undesirable attack. And If not a man. lrlendshlps are formed. "A girl, to be well and normal, needs the surroundings of home life, wh re her emotions can have legitimate play and older people watch over her living, sleeping and eating. Decidedly. I think mothers should not send these girls abroad alone as thev do. Psychologic ally and physically, it is unwise. Some eome at Ifc. with the whole responsibil ity of living In a strange land on their shoulders. Nervousness and an anae mic condition are the least of the too often consequent evils." "Arc there many American women ph.v.Mclam abroad ?" "Not meny. 1 think. I. for Instance, am the only American woman physician In Floi-eie e. The reason for this is easy t understate!, for foreign doctors in continental uuntrs are practically tiiere on suff orance, unless they take the diplomas of the country. In Gcr rcany 'hey are not allowed the doctor's title, hut must put American diplomas o-i i heir signs. Here In Florence the understanding !s that they do not prac tice among Italians."

Before his marriage he won fame as a great trav eler, ascending Mont Blanc and Mount Vesuvius and penetrating African wilds. When a mere Kri she Is not mm h more now Miss Healy became Im pressed by tales of the hardships of Italian dressmakers' apprentices. While obtaining their training they are sent to make purchases in the small shops, kept by men of, too often, unenviable reputations. The results have made the Florentine working girl somewhat no torious. Miss Healy concluded that if they could obtain their training In a school and start 1n life as wage-earners their future was likely to be more promising. She had read of American social work, and accordingly luld her own plans. One day she opened her school In a building on'the grounds of her father's home. Later she rented a floor of a house in the Via Pler Capponi, and this May moved to better quarters In the hi del Seniglle. a street well known to all tourists. Recently I called at the school. Slgnora Contl. who loves very thing and everybody American, quickiy made nie welcome and explained lie'r work, saying that her dream was to have it become an endowed work, with the name "American Industrial School for Italian Working Girls." The rooms were thronged with bright-eyed little Italians, some busy at lessons, some sewing hard in the dressmaking rooms others preparing dinner, others cleaning halls and arranging pots and pans, all happy-faced ami smiling. "Sometimes I have had as many ns 64.' said Signora llealy-Conti.

It would not be overstating tho matter If one asserted that the two generations preceding the present one were with few exceptions the personification of matchless energy and thrift. The pres ent one, however, seems to have degen erated into idleness and extravagance. The rising sun found men of all voca tions and professions busy with thetm plements of industry or delving Into the mines of knowledge, preparing them selves for emergencies or to enable them to solve some difficult problem In medi cine, science or law, which confronied them. In the home, mistresses and maids were busy with tne daily house hold duties that could not be postponed with Impunity. The Idler had no place in the respect of any one. every ono feeline that 'here was something for him or her to do. Not so today. A few bear the re sponsibilities, and bv brain and brawn curry the heavy burdens. The spirit of self-indulgence and d.ssipation has so tunrougiilv possessed a majority of the present generation that they seem to feel that It is a great hardship if tlrey have to, in any way, apply themselves to business or help the unfortunate. The men who have accumulated the great wealth which tills country now pos sesses are still in the harness, assum ing the grcfiter responsibilities of the twentieth century. There never i.as been a time In the history of the United States when thero have been so many organizations whose objects nave been the betterment of mankind and the advancement of civiliza tion, and we sometimes- think there has been altogether too much done alld that the laboring people are being spoiled because of Hie continuous harping upon the hardships which they endure by people whose real object Is a protec tion of themselves and their capital from the venueance and revolutionary spirit of a great many malcontents in our nopulation. While I have no disposition to criti cise the efforts of these organizations. I have wondered whether or not the conditions which thev wish to reform are not really exaggerated. The chief things which they propose to consider are "the needs of public employes, rang ing from provisj,,..;, fnr physical com- ulldlngs and shops ("-erlptions of Wel ves In private en stores, factories hy presidents or ! one session will wctlu which to lur.cli room I'm Kind It s all over." said Mrs. Selb sic sat at a tahie In ilu, ro.. o i !
