BUFFALO SUNDAY MORNING NEWS: JANUARY .12, 1913. AP TAL I ZIN U-M 15 I analysis Is the thing you are aiming or collect It here and takes energy at such a time to manl ing nature, there?" Looking Cross. "My mama is excitable, very; my papa was a musician, very much temperament, and my husband, he goes up in the air piff! when little things go wrong. I tell him to wait one minute. It will be all right again." Is that tendency to be lenient and courteous the secret of your good looks?" I asked.

"Women who are cross look It. They cannot disguise ugly natures, and fretting never made life easy." Jeanne Mauborg is very tall and slender. She certainly wore her eyes when Bhe selected the shade af hair that coils about her head and droops a trifle over one temple, as there are the same glints in all. She seems to fit naturally In any environment. Ap parently she doesn't travel at crosB-purposes with atmosphere.

She would be as much at home In the proudest bor at the Metropolitan as In the top most aallerv. She has been' of the the ater -for-nearly a- score yet looks barely 80. When she sang In the opera at Bel gium King Leo rarely missed a night Her. associate in work there was Georeette LeBIanc. wife of Maurice Maeterlinck.

Later Mauborg was con nected with Covent Garden for five years. In Brussels and Covent Garden, as well as in the Metropolitan, I frequent-have heard the same old phrase, "Jeanne Is such a nice girl." We spoke of Madame Maeterlinck. "She Is Maeterlinck's best friend," said the prima donna, "and she Is a claver, wise woman. She has brains and she uses them much for him. He would be a lost baby with all his talent if it were not for Georgette.

She has an operetta, you have heard. She wants me much to sing with her in PariB, Nice, Monte Carlo, Vienna and other places. "I think you would say here, she is the power behind Maeterlinck. Oh, I live her very much," and she blew a kiss toward the celling. "Georgette Le Blanc, too, Is famous on the Continent for her rare good na ture," I ventured.

"Gladness or the power to" conceal the thoughts and acts that hurt Is religion with Georgette. She Is superior. She has a pleasant excuse for everything in life, and she is really a child at heart; but oh, with much ma turity In her head. "She keeps the world from Jarring on Maeterlinck. She saves him always because she loves him and she ad mires him." "Do women like to admire and love at the same time, the same thing? "I think so.

But if a woman finds a qualities in her Bhe needn't worry or get upset She must cling to the TITiV 1 XT nlltllAIlt a i nVi nr Jeanne Maubourg of the Metropolitan npera wearing a face without a wnnkie, a distinction remarkable in opera life and unique in private history. This story of a woman who never lost her temper save once is cot founded on her word alone; her consent was not necessary.

Joy isn't a fine art with her; it is rather a habit that gives returns at once agreeable and not wearing to the system. It isn a case of mirth tnat -makes her extraordinary she is not that sort. She is not funny; she doesn't try to cheer one up; she lets "one attend to his business. But whether that business Is connected "with her or foreign to her she is sympathetic if she knows, and pleasant whether she is told or not.

If things go contrary to her liking or wish she shuts up; if she can't "Ptnile with her mouth she smiles with 'her eyes. Fine, burden-lifting eyes, too. That is why she is unusual. In talking with other singing experts of the Metropolitan I was invariably confronted with a nice phrase about Jeanne Maubourg, and so I hunted up the directors, the impresarios, the publicity head of the Metropolitan, to there was a legitimate excuse for woman always having good things said abut her. There was plenty of evidence.

No one ever had seen Jeanne cross -w peeved or Jealous or spiteful or for things not on the program. A Method of Revenge. The singer had established a rec-6rd. And she done it consciously, philosophically, egotistically, carelessly, maliciously? "Was it her way of getting revenge? iTWaa she a subtle, sly person? Was 'he by Instinct a missionary? Was it fter method of uplift? Was she writing a book, laying low, observing human frailties, emotions, only to diagnose them for material gain? went to her apartment in Forty-ninth street to find out Of course, I had talked with her before; for instance, when she first arrived and was, oh, so homesick, so out of drawing with New York life, unacquaintej with the language, food and with people that in despair she went to bed oaeh night at 9 o'clock. She was lone-ay and listened only for the curfew.

And I crossed once on the same ship 'With her, and she was seasick and pathetic, her long, slender form" and graceful head rarely leaving the ruBhions and rugs of her deck chair. She didn't curse the captain, the boat, 'the crew, but the fact she refrained didn't appeal to me as a mark of and well poised inner joy, as it 'Womcn Who are Cross Look It; a Nasty Nature Cannot Be Disguised," Is a Bit of the Philosophy of This Metropolitan Opera Star. come home at the time nrnminpd' rr with your milliner over something or timer: "No, I have other dresses and hats to see me through such "Did you inherit this peaceful, lov- things that appeal to4ieran441nd-ma4rhance-tcrwoTk outalllhere la inTierT Mme.

Maubourg scarcely moved as she talked, but had a way or sending her words over, and sne aura lauga with her throat she did it with her eyes at the idea of being talked to about her disposition. Her long figure is one of grace and she doesn't droop even in repoBe. She still holds onto something that Is within her. She might be early Egyptian or late Fifth avenue she has the lines and the head. Would you worry If you were fat and lost your wonderful figure; If you couldn't becomingly wear tne gowns of today?" "I wanted to be fat once, but I couldn't get my wish, so I gave It up.

It doesn't matter. I am content." Papa Rebelled. "If you were so fat you couldn't sing without being threatened with apoplexy?" 1 I'd go in for the drama and train dowtrljy-hard workwhatyoucall stands for a night only. I always wanted to be an actress. I was once, in Brussels, and I may be again.

Didn't you cry yourself to sleep nights and declare tnat everybody was given a chance except you that all parts were cnosen for others?" 'I? Oh, ho! How could she Im plored. 'I thought ail Deginners naa to start in turmoil and strife, tried by fire and sword," I returned. It was easy for me. My papa was a conductor, and I made him find a place for me. He rebelled at first.

He wanted me to stay home. What happened?" I walked in one day and told papa to hear my voice. He did, and 1 was engaged. If he had not arranged to have me accepted I would have found some one who would." Would you have reproached him In a farewell to the old home?" "Not at all. That would have meant nothing I would have demonstrated in another way that I knew what I was talking about and that I was in earnest about seeking the work I had in mind." It is obvious that being good-natured neither sidetracks nr defeats a definite purpose.

If life hurts now and then there are no scars to -show for it. Maubourg doesn't intrude her doe trine of peace upon the world. She doesn't preach it, but If you approach her you will discover she makes no mystery of It. She is human, that's all, and good to look at, be with, thing on. She never says she hasn't been given She knows better.

If others gather in more laurels, more power to them, says she. When I went out I stopped to ask the doorman what his private and per-slon opinion was of Mile. Maubourg, confidentially, of course. He took off his hat. "She's a fine lady," said he.

Grayson. No reply. So he put the Question again, but still there was no reply. At last one dear little chappie put up his hank he knew the right answer. "Well?" said Mr.

She was a fine maid, and I said to her 'I never will be without One day my mamma said "to me: 'Jeanne, your maid Is not good any more. You must let me tell her to go "I said, you make a mistake.

'Yes, you will I said, 'and you'll go this minute. I didn't know exactly how I was to send her off when she wouldn't stir, but I told her I would count 100 and she must be hurrying when I finished. While I counted I thought and thought. I had not been very long in New York and had taken only a few lessons in English. "When I sa.d '100 she was looking me hi the eyes and crying 'I will stay with madame I went to the 'Hello' I told Central I wanted a policeman, Just one, but he must be big and strong and ready to do what I asked.

The coroner said it was heart failure, or infantile paralysis, he wasn't sure which. Shortly thereafter this cor jier resigned and set to work building a large steam-heated villa in the suburbs of Rome.

For a yoar or two Nero did pretty well as emperor. At least, people thought so when they compared that time with what came afterward. Then he fell into the toils of an affinity whose name was Poppaea Sabina. She was married to a man with whom Nero used to come home from the club, but that made no difference. The emperor divorced his wife, Octavla, but some trouble arising over the question of alimony, he sent a Praetorian Guard around to assassinate her a year or two later.

Acted Hit Own Plays. Now Nero, in addition to his other unlovely qualities, was very proud of his achievements in a literary way. He wrote poems and plays, and then he acted the plays himself, while the courtiers sat around and told him that aistophanes, Aeschylus and Euripides would have to be retired to the ten-twenty-thirty houses when the managers got a squint at his manuscripts. "As for Shakespeare," they said, "you make him look like a ham." It seems queer that they Bhould have known about Shakespeare, considering the fact that he wasn't born till 1500 years later, but they were far-seeing courtiers. And then old Nero would slap on a laurel wreath and prance out in the middle of the stage and make a curtain speech, just like De Wolf Hopper, while Poppaea Sabina, in a box right next the stage, tossed roses and murmured in a perfectly audible tone, "Really, his acting Is superb and what a figure!" Now, Poppaea Sabina did not like Agrippina.

Nero didn't like either, for she was Inclined to be bossy, and fancied that just because she had put him In line for the throne she should be treated with gome consideration. So whp.n Poppapa came around one day and ruffled his hair and tickled him under the chin and aKked him in her prettiest way to please Rive h'r Agrippina's sralp he consented.

He was pleasant and wanted her to go with him and stop crying, hut she wouldn't and she wouldn't even stand up. So he picked her up and carried her out and all the time she was waving her feet and arms.

He lost his hat at -he door and of his own manufacture and urging the firemen to pour gasoline on the flames. Several fellows against whom he held grudges were presidents of insurance companies, It seems, and it looked for a while as If they would be stripped of their last sesterce. (This is a coin, not an undergarment.) These ingenious men, however, got together and declared that the fire was an act of Zeus, and Nero was so flattered that he let them go. Rome, however, was getting pretty sore, and so were the Praetorian Guards. They were rough, case-hardened men and it mare them mad to have to break up a poker game and come In and listen to an epic poem all evening.

Then his domestic affairs were something of a scandal, even for Rome. Poppaea made him sore one night by telling him that his interpretation of Hamlet was a joke, and he murdered her. Then he washed his hands, put on a new laurel wreath and went out to propose to Antonia, daughter of the late Emperor Cladius. She scorned bis attentions, so he had her killed and married a woman named Statillia Messalina, having killed her husband. His expenditures were enormous, and In 65 there was a rebellion.

"Why," he aaked with the directness of extreme youth, "don't you work like my papa?" "How About Winter." "I do," answered the suspected' one. But why don't you work now?" "Because I work at night." "What do you work at in the night?" "I work on a paper." "What kind of a paper?" By that time the witness was becoming a bit exasperated. To put an end to futher crosa-examinalion he remarked: "I work on the fly paper." Not at all abashed, the future prosecuting attorney paused a moment and then, with new inspiration: "Well, what do you do in the winter time?"

"How do you sleep?" is the question which Is most often put by those of Inquiring minds. The difficulty wns placed before a patrolman who was strolling along his beat early the other morning.

The bluecoat looked at his questioner dubiously and then glunced towards a patrol box. Finally when he had ascertained that it was merely a matter of Information, he lowered his voice confidentially.
