unfurled, pavilions overlooking with gayly-dressed
women, drags tOp-heavy with Enslands arts
tocracy officers in effective uniforms, saunterng
up and down, everybody talking about the
Shah and wondering how much longer the
show would be postponed. "He asks great
many questions" said one, "and hates music" We all
know what he who hath not music In his soul is ut Tor

bulied into attending operas and concerts 1t must

Covent Garden to sing TO a who would not listen to
them who paid no attention whatever TO the stage until
the appearance OF the ballet when his lorgnette
became glued 70 his eyes. THAT Of COURSE" said
spaniard "Al men. especially shahs, understand the

with black aud white sheepskins, silver breast plates
and helmets gstening in the sun, their noble beasts
