ON HOLIDAY IN LONDON. ' United i'resa Association— By Electric Teiegrupli OopyrightO (Australian Press Association.) LONDON, Dee. 9. Dame Nellie Melba alighted from the boat train at Victoria this afternoon in frosty, dull weather. In an interview at her Cadogan Square mansion she said: “For the first time in my life I have no plans and noj contracts. I fell like a schoolgirl from school. I am delighted to be in London and intend remaining for two years. I shall tour France and Italy. I am absolutely on pleasure bent. The grand opera season was a credit to Australia ; it was successful and magnificently produced.’.’ Dame Nellie plans founding a Parisian conservatorium similar to that at Melbourne, facilitating Continental local studies. She finally said laughingly : “Although I have no contracts yet I can always manufacture work.”
