Mme. Patti’s Dally Diet.

Patti’s system of eating may be interesting to would-be prlma donnas. Various descr ions of Patti’s .diet, ranging from not much of anything to all sorts of eccentricities, have been given, says the Philadelphia Times. On a day that is a sample promptly at 10:30 she ate her breakfast, which consisted of chicken broth with rice, three eggs boiled three and one-half minutes and some toast. Her next meal was served at 3:30 p. m., in course, as follows: Roast saddle of lamb, rare; plain boiled potatoes, roast spring chicken, vegetables, chicken broth, tapioca; plain baked apple, no sugar or butter. The madame’s third meal will be eaten after the concert, and will consist of chicken broth and tapioca, roast chicken and vegetables. It will be seen that Patti is especially fond of chicken, as it appears on the menu, as a rule, three times during the day on which she sings. The bill of fare for Patti is arranged by her secretary, George H. Bowen.
