The way these people act sometimes
is absurd. I went to Covent Garden
Theatre to benefit of Adelina PATHS
Countess de Caux), and had but a
poor time. The room was red, ILL
lighted, close and study. However,
the music waS fine. After il was all
over we went into the vestibu1e to wait
for our carriages. Everybody congre-
