PADEREWSKI PLAYS AGAIN
ALLEGES financial losses. A message to the New York World dated from Lausanne. Switzerland, February 1, reads as follows; After spending Christmas in Poland, Ignace Paderewski has come back to his Swiss estate at Merges to pack up for a five months’ tour in South Africa. Thence, after' a short rest, he hopes to go to America. The huge sums earned in America have vanished and, though tired out. the great pianist must set to work again instead of quietly composing at home. Generosity and rasli speculations’’have dispersed his fortune.
He keeps quite a court at Merges, where no appeal for help is disregarded. Though fifty-one years old, Paderewski still enjoys the adoration of crowds of women, whom his wife wards off as best she can. He is a most devoted husband and never receives a fair visitor without consulting her. She generally is present at the interview, to the discomfort of tlxe admirers.
She is five years older than her husband and heartily sick of louring, but always goes, as lie feels lonely without her. She is never so happy as when with her fowls at Merges, where she spends all her time looking after chickens which gel prizes all oxer Europe.
