such a thing as selling the same seat to
two different parties has ever been done.
but the legend to that effect has the same
weight with the masses, as many other
more serious and equally foundationless
legends are swaying the world every day of
our lives. One thing is sure Patti concert
seats are always in the hands Of the
spectators, the box Office seemingly
entirely out of the transaction.
On the day or box-opening for these concerts
the line of ticket-seekers begins to form
before daylight, by noon reaching more
than square. 1t may safely be calcula-
ted that from one-fourth to one-third of the
buyers are spectators. It is generally
understood that the manager of the opera
house, is not in sympathy with
the spectators, or ''scalper5" as we call
them, and toward their CON
founding there is rule pro-
hibiting the sale of more than a certain
number-say ten-of seats to any one party.
But the willy Scalper is ready for this; he
brings along his wife, his mother, his sis
tiers and his cousins and his aunts, who
each buy one ticket, yet all for him. Then
begins his profits. He knows that tickets
to hear Patti are as good as United States
bonds. He sets his price and people pay it.
He sometimes sells and buys back the same
ticket, doubling his money each time. If
one is speculatively inclined it pays to wait
till the performance is begun-the "big
guns" never sing early on the programme,
you know-and then saunter up to the door,
where half dozen spectators will besiege
you with, "Here's yer seats for the con-
certl Choice seats for the concert!" You
saunter bit more-very indifferently-an

she ever sang in New York, but wouldn't

NEW York, Feb. 2.-Watching 4 dancer
the other night, a dancer who is as graceful
as possible, who can make her tiny feet
seem on level with her head, make them
whirl through the air as if they were simply
fairy slippers, heard small boy in the
gallery call out, Say, do you catch on to
her curvesl" l began TO look at her then
with the eyes of the small boy-that critic
who. having seen all sorts and conditions
of 1women. was capable of judging. The
curves of a woman,s body are at once the
most beautiful and the most absolutely
modest in the world. As Eve stood in the
garden of Eden, with no stain of sin on her
soul, she is the embodiment of exquisite
feminine modesty. Later on, even, when
she has fallen, and she is seeking To hide
herself. the perfection of her form is SO
great that you feel like bowling before her
as the representative mother of the world.
The small boy. with his slang. had uncon-
sciously reached out to the greatest charm
that a woman can possess, and beside
which beauty of face is as nothing.
wosIAS's PERFECT FIGURE.
The perfect feminine figure. as any artist
will tell Won. must never achieve an angle
in any position, and the woman must natu-
rally fan into those attitudes that form
curves. If you watch woman who is
simply herself, and who is not posing for
your benefit, you will see that. sitting.
standing or walking, she unconsciousiy
does this; and it IS only when she is subject
to that undesirable disease, vanity, that She
is stiff and angular The dancer admired
by the critic OF the gallery was not a very
large woman, certainly not what anybody
would call a stout woman, for fat is as ab-
solutely destructive to beauty as are huge
bones.

assisting the president in the Behring
sea fisheries negotiations, had a long
conference at the navy department with
Secretary Tracy and Com. Ramsey.

conference, it is thought, related to the
consideration of the ours to be pur-
sued by the navy in enforcing the con-
tention of this government that the
Pelagic sealing in Behring sea should
be wholly suspended pending the set
Element by arbitration of the con-
troversy between the United States
and Great Britain.
If Great Britain declines the presi-
dents proposition for a renewal of the
modus vivendi this government no
doubt will send the available vessels at
its command to Behring see soon
enough, if possible, to control its APP
proaches and prevent the entrance OF
all sealing vessels, American as well as
others.
The naval vessels that can be used
for this service are the Charleston,
Baltimore and Ranger at San Fran
cisco; the Mohican, now on her way to
Port Orchard, Wash, with the Nipsic
in tow, and the Yorktown end Balti-
more, now en- route to San Francisco
