POOR MUSICAL TASTE
THE ENGLISH PROVINCES •DAME MELBA'S REGRETS LONDON, Jan. 11. Dame Nellie Melba, who is about to retire from public singing, says that she intends to live in Paris and "have a jolly goqd time." She asserts that musical taste in the English provinces has not developed in the last 40 years. "They won't learn anything new," she says, "and cannot get away from Tosti's 'Goodbye' Laiulon Ronald's 'Down in th" Forest,' and the awful 'Jewel Song' from 'Faust.' It is sad."
