both Germans and Americans. and there
were several hundred who filled the CALLER

attractive, for the rainbow arches with the
rows of incandescent lights formed u bor-
der for the hall just under the gallery, and
the white draperies at the back made a
fine background for the gay dresses of the
ladies or the black figures of the men in
their evening suits. The Maennerchor seem
cry, which was used for the opera of Pa
tience'' last week. filled the stage, and in
the foreground were rows OF palms Under
