falls, ct ii omne genns, are very nice things to !
look nj aud very nice things to have. Car
rIagcs are pleasant to ride in, although the
Of q closed carriage is not always
the most agreeable. Suppcrs, at ashiona-
bic and well kept restaurant, are delightful
Tor people whose digestive organs are Of tho
most robust sort. But We modessly submit
That all these things arc musicall5 objcc-

Il would be absurd, In thls democratic
country Of ours, TO deny the right Of any one
or oycry one to Indulge In these aud all other
luxuries which they may acc fit to pay for.
But establishing such expcnscs as insepeEa-
able from IN attendance nt n fashionable con-

certainly Us democratic for the poorer class
as for the richer, and wassorisina!fy inteaded
to be moro so. Let the poorer class who can
afford the admittance fee, but not the costly
accessories, go for the sake Of the music, and
leave to the Others the quizzing and flirting
OF the evenings entertainment.
Musical soirecs are not uufrcqucutly In
yolyed in m opcratic SEASON. It Is unneccs-
saty to say that these sotrees arc misnamed.
The object Is not an artistic one, but another
phase Of fashionable curiosity. without
