Beautiful Singer.
SINGS IN STREET TO HELP GAMINS.
Paris, June 21,
Eugenie Buffet, the beautiful singer, who made such a sensation by singing in the streets for tbe benefit of the poor last winter, is repeating her charitablo but bizarre performance. Her purpose now is to raise funds to build a home for street arabs of both sexes.
She is meeting with most remarkable success. Her receipts yesterday were nearly 6000 francs, While she sang coins rained from every window; carriages, whose occupants wildly applauded, blocked the boulevards.
Mile. Buffet was once a grand-opera contralto, later a rival of Yvette Guilbert. During the Exposition she kept a quaint tavern for students in ''OldParis.” Easily she is the most popular songstress with all classes in France.
