New York Sun; On November 81,
1S43, Balfe's opera, THE Bohemian
Girl" was presented at the Drury Lane
theater. London and on Novmber u,
1898. exactly fifty years lister commend
rative anniversary performance was
given in London OF this most popular
work OF the Irish composer. A simple
assortment of homely melodies based
upon a story written by Cervantes, 1.-The
Bohemian Girl" is as popular with the
patrons and admirers of English opera as
it was half century ago; it is as certain
to fill theater, and there has been no
waning of its charm in the meanwhile.
or how few operas can this be said
truthfully Among musicians, whose
knowledge is technical, THE Bohemian
Grip does not hold a high rank, and
Bale, who was vocalist as we'll as
composer, does not hold high place.
But he understood the craving OF the
public for simple melodies and upon
this foundation rests his fame. The
Bohemian Girl" is remembered when
more ambitious, and perhaps more
meritorious, operas composed by ltallan,
German, French, Spanish, and English
muslcians are neglected by the general
public. The great charm OF Irish music,
and Of musical compositions written by
Irishmen, is the simplicity OF the melo-
dies and the direct appeal which they
plaintively make to popular sympathy
and imagination. Bale was native OF
Dublin. He composed, in all, about
thirty operas, but ''rhe Bohemian GRIP
continues to be, fifty years after its fret
production, the most admired OF his
works. In these days sentimental bal.
lads enjoy no more than an ephemerai
favor. They are heard from the barrel
organ and from street bands. Parodies
appear upon them, and under the bur
don of ridioule thus stimulated they dis
appear. Bale was more fortunate. lie

and censure, and the success OF line

recent performance in London again
calls this fact to notice.

For certain parts of the house work
shirt waists OF wash material worn with
dark skirts are tasteful. They should
not be the skirts of your old gowns but
little round skirts of plain cashmere or
serge. Many of these goods, though not
sold as washable. make a visit to the
wash tub and come out quite cheerful.
The wash dress must be not only clean
but fresh to look pretty, so perhaps the
dark skirt is good idea for the working
hours, only always wear a crisp apron.
The shirt waists may be as plain as you
please. As rule wear them over the
skirt instead of beneath because belt
always will let the skirt slip from under
and that looks so untidy.

Dressing tho Hair.

There is struggle in Paris to intro
duce the fantastic fashions in hardness
ing which accompanied the odd toilets
lately revived. The struggle, however,
has been practically in vain, the most
fashionable women refusing to be made
conspicuous at the expense of their
beauty. Most of them wear the hair
frizzed and waved and arranged in a
small chignon at the back; round this,
when worn with evening dress, strings
of pearls are entwined or diamond riv-
ieres are placed. The chief couture of
Paris may be presumed to be the chief
couture of the world therefore what
that clever person, NJ. Lentheric, says
about a woman's hair will be Of very
great interest to most women who want
to be as lovely as nature permits. In
the first place, Lentheric condemns the
use of false hair. 1T is hot" he says;
lit is uncomfortable; it is not pretty"
Nor does he approve of dyeing the hair,
though some hairdressers contend that
dye is the only thing that improves the
growth of the locks. When undertake
ing to ''dress head" Lentheric takes
all the hair in his hand and draws it up
to the top of the head, that he may
study the shape of the skull; then he
looks in the glass and watches his sub
ject's expression, and then he begins his
work. He declares that it is rare to
find woman whose head and face are
well formed enough to bear the Greek
style of hair arrangement Philadel

LOCAL VS.. CITY TRADE.-Many mer-
chants in towns and villages feel very
much chagrined and disappointed
when they see their fellow townsmen
sending daily to "the city" for dry
goods, books, etc., instead of patroniz-
ing the men who are the mainstay of
their town. 1t is exceedingly lamen-
table to see a conscientious, upright
merchant in small town doing his best
to give the people in his vicinity
chance to inspect a full range of the
seasons novelties, and when they have
fully inspected his stock, got general
idea of what they ought to buy, they
send for samples from "the city," and
finally order from there.
We do not proclaim that "to the lc-
cal victor belong the spoils," but we do
maintain that the people ofa town are
following their own interests when they
patronize their home trade. Every
store in town pays certain amount
of rent, taxes, gas bills, etc., and the
wages of employer and employee will
amount to snug sum every year.
Another store occupied increases the
price of real estate. Another store and
one or two houses occupied means less
taxes on other property. Another store
occupied and competing for trade
means an increased number of visitors,
rural and civic, and an increased circu-
lation of money in this and dozen diff
ferent ways.
The merchants of town are its
backbone. Take them out of any town
and in three months it will be as dead
as the proverbial "door nail" They
are the sap of the town, and give it ac-
tivity and life. One live merchant is
worth ninety-nine retired farmers.
Merchants talk up the town; they
draw manufacturers into it they draw
residents; they invest money in it
they help it in thousand ways.-Dry
Goods Repieau, Toronto and Montreal.
