One of the chief qualifications of the En-
inent Order of Philosophers to which 1 be-
long, is that it's members are gifted with
the capacity to know everybody elses bust
ness better than they know it themselves
1t is possible that in familiarity with
the details we do not excel, but as to the
general outcome and in what is best for
each individual avocation, do not hesitate
to say our information is superior. Per-
haps | may make this clear toyou by citing
a case. 1t was not many nights ago that
L had q seat at the opera. The music both
vocal and orchestral was admirable, the
ensemble singing gave one that thrill by
which the veriest dullard in music feels
that there is something divine in it; the
Whole audience was enjoying it with one
mind. There came a change! The
third act began, and it's opening chorus was
given by women so scantily ar1ayed as to
leave but little for the Imagination. The
change that came oyer the larger part OF the
audience was instantaneous. 1t was no
longer enjoying it with one mind. 1t was no

by cord which thrilled through it It
had to stop to think. 1t had to stop to
weigh the proprieties. A perceptible lar
had come. Mark you, | am no prude! /
am perfectly willing to concede that il was
false modeSty. Indeed [ cannot deny it,
for the same people who were shocked at
this, witness male artists costumed so, with
out thought. But while it is false mod
esty let us never forget that it is not mock
molesty. 1t is sincere and sensitive. 1t
is the result Of education, and to my
mind a most excellent education, which [
for one never want to see disappear. Ger
talnly it is not true art. There can be no
possible connection, no continuation, so to
speak, between the strains of the most di-
vine of arts, and a mere panorama Of gross
anatomles. And after all what place has
such al exhibition in such arealy excellent
opera as | was listening to. 1t was just as
foreign to the situation as if in the midst
Of the beautiful seXtette a trapeZe per-
former had swung across the stage. [ do
not propose to enter on any moral homily.
The moral effect is one on which people are
much divided, and it does not lecome a
Philosopher whose dutyit is to he tolerant to
all opinions, to set theexample of tolerating
none but his own. But do protest that
from business point of view 1t is bad pol
icy, and that the performers who visit us
with such frst-class entertainments as l
am writing about should SO control the
costuming as not to have the enjoyment of
the audience distracted by a mental debate
on the proprieties. There are performances
in which such things are expected, and they
are generally attended hy audiences in
which no dissenters are found and nobody
is disturbed. But an effort to combine 81
first clasa MUSICAL entertainment with a
section from the Academy Of Anatomy is a
financial mistake.
