We listen to other people sing for us,
other people play for us. We would like
to do these things ourselves.
We would like to feel the thrill and
satisfaction of putting ourselves into the
creation of something fine. It's normal,
it's human. (

than the ones which came before.
The origination of sandals and
coiffures is also one of Mme.
Miura's hobbies.
Many of the kimonas in thisi
i unusual collection have been pre-,
sented to the singer by' notable
personages of Japan, including
members of, the Royal Family. In
several instances these gifts rep
resent the modes of early Imper
ial dynasiies and have great his
torical interest as well as intrin
sic value.
Born in old Japan and trained
in ancient, aristocratic tradition,
Miura is most particular about
her kimonas and wears them with
a distinction which no one but a
Japanese could attain. She per
sonally supervises the choice of
each costume for her opera ap
pearances and also directs the se
lection of accessories and proper
ties. , .
This artist, the first of her race
to receive stellar musical honors
in this country, was born and ed
ucated in Tokio. She completed
her musical study in; Berlin and
made her professional debut in
London. It is delightful to find
