Grand opera In New York seventy
years ago?
Why, OF course, and decidedly good
opera it was, too. Singers were society
idols In those days. The 400 OF the
period not only filed the theatre to
hear them but invited them TO their
homes and arranged marriages for
them.
"Dsr Frelschutz" was given in Eng
llsh at the Park Theatre In 1923. This
theatre was in Park row, not very far
from where the offices Of the Morning
Journal are now. This was the first
attempt at anything like grand opera,
though We had been accustomed to q lib
eral supply OF English opsrettas aud
French vaudeville. In those days the gay
old boys used TO 20 10 the opera in enor-
nous white cravats, high shirt collars
and queues tightly tied with black silk
ribbon. Ii tradition Is correct they
were great fellows for getting behind
the scenes and gessiping with the bal
let girls.
There is, however, no truth in the
rumor that the self-same ballet girls are
in the chorus at the Metropolitan this
year. Seine of the old-timers are dead.

AugIo-Saxons q similar custom existed
but II the bride was widow it was
dispensed with. According to Sarum
usage, a fine linen cloth was laid on
the heads Of the bride and bridegroom,
and not removed until the bene-
diction had been said. The old
British custom was TO use natures
veil unadorned-that is, the long hair OF
the bride, which was so worn By all
brides, royal, noble and simple. Only
then did all behold the tresses OF maid
enhood In their entirety, and for the
last time, as, after marriage, this badge
OF Yirginity was neatly dressed on the
head. Among some the tresses were
cut and carefully slowed away on a
woman becoming = wife, 1t is custom
arr In Russia for village brides to ex-
else their locks on returning from
church. The peasants Of that country
have pretty song, the gist being the
lamentaslon Of a newly married wife
over her golden eurls just cut OF ere
she laid them low.
Wedding cake is remnant OF the
Roman confarreation, the breaking OF
bread as a solemn act or ratification OF
uaion. Consequently, the eating or
sending OF wedding cake is a symbol
that ancient friendships shall not be
broken.
Jewish custom ordsins man and wife
to drink out Of the same cup at mar

dashed to pieces, TO remind them of the
utter fragility OF earthly joys. The old
English custom Of carrying the bride

BABE's BATH.
Little Details In Preparing For It, That
Will Prove Beneficial

Little Details in Preparing For It, That
viii Prove Beneficial
AS the bath is the most sacred rite in
the baby's daily life it should be care
fully performed, not gone through with
much vigor and haste, uDdigniied
squeals aud splashing. First of all the
tub should be placed on table or board
bench, as there is no necessity for the
mother or nurse breaking her back for
the fat cherub of the bath tub, for he
will appreciate a straight backed mother
when be grows up more than a crooked
one. The tub should not be too deep
and still be roomy enough 70 allow the
small inmate 70 kick without banginE
his tender feet against the sides. The
water should DO as nearly as possible
the temperature OF the baby'S blood,
which is usually about 9S Fahrenheit
Thermometers, placed in 4 ring Of cork,
en- be bought which float in the water
aud prevent the danger Of mistake In
the ten perature. Care should be taken
TO place the bath tub cut OF the way Of
draughts.
A screen placed around the tub is q
safeguard not 20 be despised. The
sDonges used for the body should be al-
ways Of the soItest and finest aud the
soap plain and pure-casttle is the best
and the baby himself should be
scrubbed from the crown OF his bald
head TO his rose petal feet till he looks
like a pink cherub, and then wrapped
in a warm Turkish towel and rubbed
brlsklv, il his liJtle constitution will al
low Of such treatment. An alcohol rub
is healthy practice, and makes the
skin hard and the baby strong, but is q
luxury which every baby does not in
dulge.
