At the hospital it was said later, however, that Mrs. Walters continued to improve. To-day she got out of bed for the first time since she was brought to the institution suffering from bichloride of mercury poisoning, self-administered. She sat in a chair by the window for a little time and took a short walk about the room, | supported by the arm of a nurse.

Singer Who Shocked and Then Won New York 25 Years Ago With Her Cigarette and Display of Pet- ticoat and Arms Denounces New York Women for These Same Things—Carmen Type Has Neither Heart Nor Soul, She Says. By Marguerite Mooers Marshall. Twenty-five years ago a short-skirted, bare-armed young woman, whose costume and movements emphasized every supple, seductive curve, who smoked cigarettes and daringly displayed a red satin petticoat, whose black eyes alternately challenged and caressed every male in the landscape, danced down to the footlights of the Metropoltan—and over them into the heart of New It was Emma Calve, Carmen Calve as we called her after that, whom Mascagni and Massenet summed up in the sentence, “There are many singers, there are many actresses; there is one who is both.” Carmen conquered from the first. shocked a bit—twenty-five years ago.

And the original Carmen OF the stage utterly disapproves of the ama- York, teur Carmen OFF the stage! She told me so when I talked with her last night at the Hotel Savoy, where she is stopping preparatory to a concert tour. Be it understood that Madame Calve has always liked and admired the womey of this country. “The women of all races have ideals,” she said many years ago, “but it is the Amorican woman who has the force to realize hers.” She still likes and admires us—and believes most of us are sensible. But she has no use for the sensationally dressed, self- indulgent coquette in real life, even if she did create a supremely perfect example of this type in grand opera, DISAPPROVES ..OF EXAGGER- ATED, SUGGESTIVE FASHIONS. “1 do not like the exaggera stomach, or you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your phar- macist about four ounces of Jad Salts; teke « tablespoonful in a glass of — before breakfast for a few days idneys will then act fine, The fimo on Its is made from the acid of and lemon juice com jittia, and has been used for ge: id stimulate clogged kidney the acids in the urine #0 inexpensive, cannot in- jure, makes a delightful effervescent thia-water beverage, and belongs in every home, because nobody can make ® mistake by having = good kidney flushing any time.

She had just returned from an afternoon wali¢ when I talked with her, and she wore a simple coat-suit of black brocaded satin, with a white vest rolling back from the full, round throat. I haven't seen her for eight years and she Her But they do say it Spanish cigarette- re is the generous cemieabesd aceasta eee ei ted doesn’t look a day oldér, The black eyes are as brilliant as ever, under brows like a pair of circumflex ac- cents; the smile as swift and uptilt- ing.

Madame Calve has the bulk which seemingly no woman singer can escape, at the end of a quarter century of service, but she carrles herself wonderfully and walks as Virgil beleved Juno did.

The singer's head lifted and the dark eyes flashed. The French sen- tences fairly tumbled over each other, “Calve was Carmen, but Carmen was not Calve,” she explained, crisp- ly.

Bill Snyder, reaitre d’'zoo In Cen- tral Park, and George rt, keeper, were momentarily paralyzed with astonishment to-day when a young man weuring a blue suit, cut in the latest style, carrying a cane and displaying a pair of suede spats adorned with pear! buttons, nonchal- antly reached his arm into the cage of Alice, a tigress, and began to stroke her back. Alice purred lke a cat and lay still with her eyes halt closed. h The only way Snyder and Sickert have ever been able to stroke Alice involved tying her up with stout ropes.

This revelation was mad@ at a hear- ing on the report on overcrowding submitted by Joseph Johnaon, chief of the transit department of the Public Service Commission. Mr. Johnson was describing congea- tion in cars when Mr. Woody inter- rupted with: “Now, do you know that the people standing In those cars didn’t have seats staring them In the face?” “Why, that’s a natural assumption,” replied Johnson, “Don't you know,” pursued Mr. Woody, “that all human beings in New York are not looking for seats in care?
