A wonderful story of French musical
critic is related by persons who profess to
have been acquainted with him and TO have
seen him in attendance on musical per-
formances. He was a dog and his name
In public was Parade. Whether he had a
different name at home was never known.
At the beginning Of the French revolution
he went every day to the military parade in
front Of the Tuileries palace. He marched
with the musicians, halted with them, lis
tened knowingly to their performances,
and after the parade disappeared, to return
promptly at parade time the next day.
GRADUALLY the musicians became attached
70 this devoted listener. They named him
Parole, and one or another of them always
invited him 10 dinner. He accepted the in
Vitat lons and was a pleasant guest. II
was discovered that after dinner he always
attended the theater where he seated him
self calmly In a corner Of the orchestra and
listened critically TO the music.
If new piece was played, he noticed IL
instantly and paid the strictest attention
II the piece had fine, melodious passages
he showed his joyto the best of his doggish
ability, but If the piece was ordinary and
uninl eresting he yawned, stared about the
theatar and Enthusiastically expressed his
