approach delicate ground, and must be careful OF
private susceptibilties for, though tickets were

and TO use a Yankee phrase, " sort OF public aud
sort of not" Now, those who paid q dollar for
their entrance had perfect right complain that
the hall was hot crowded, aud uncomfortable;
that the seats were insufficient; tina. many were
forced to stand, with scarcely ground to stand
upon through the evening and that the
tableau were, after all But what
if ores ticket had been complimentary Mr. TRIB-
UNEl Then, Of course, ones views would be COM
Elementary also. Still, the matter itself s not so
important that one may not treat It with little
general criticism. 1t is not 80 bad TO make poor
tabeau, for instance, as TO be impertnent without
proyocaton to Chief Justice. Yet it is better to
make good one If at all, and IN town which
unltes so msDy artists does beloved Newport,
there seems to be little excuse for presenting pic
lures in which the artistic element is altogether
wanting. One would like to see even a matter 80
unimportant this managed upon right principles,
the love Of display being made subserylent ~ the love
OF art. As.s, such things seem generally got up to
show of handsome women and handsome dresses,
which in themselves do not constitute pictures

Woman. and that best pink MORE yours is q very
fine dress becoming also The lace IL superb lace,
the diamonds are resi- diamonds, and the powdered
wig goes well with both but an artist who should
paint YOU thus would call his work portrait, not
picture, for it would express nothing, suggest
nothing but lady in her best looks with her best
attire That other group, announced as the
dying Greek What is there of death and sor-
row about it A good.looking young man in an
Eastern costume, extended on the ground, his
head very comfortably supported, and his coun-
teDabce expressing neither the pain nor the
bliss of dying; two girls stand near him, 10
an attitude of entire indifference, while q
third the inevitable Gulnare of the evening,
faces the audience, rolls mp her eyes, and thinks
how she looks. But try again. Here is q tab
leau with many fgures--the Peri at the gate OF
Paradise, presenting the happy gift that gained her
admission, and the Angel receiving it, attended by
sister spirits. What have you to say against this
Are they not all pretty girls Yes, truly, and if
fine hair and gauze wings could make angels, these
would belong to the heavenly host already, ard
Deed no translation. But you see, to the very
idea Of all angel belongs something more than a
pink and white face, with the merest put
on little good look-nothing angelic about
that, friends The Beatrice, from AIRY Schef-
ters picture, has been more successful. The face
was unknown ~ us, but its look and eff, ct we're
very lovely, with the bright hair and vollrhinous
white draperies that set 1t of. The Dante of the
evening obviously no poet, but be- had a. least
a nose, and, with red gown and hood, looked as
well as possible under the circumstances. But
here is something positively good. Our old friend,
