have formed the miserable habit of
giving their boxes to their provincial
friends-these generally go to Paris
during the vacation and take in the
opera. If the giving of boxes stopped
here, the effect would not be bad, as
country cousins get themselves up in
proper style for the OCCASION but I'M
fortunately many boxholders go fur
ther, and, during their own absence,
give the use of their boxes to their SER
wants. AS a result, the Partisan chanc-
ing to drop in during a performance
in August enjoys the spectacle Of see
ing comfortably installed in the best
loges' the buffers, Wallets, maids and
even the cooks, of his friends house
hold. A protest was raised last year
against the practice of promiscuously
giving the use of 1oges' even by 10
cataires, but, as they are the private
property of the persons occupying them
and have been held for generations
by the same families, it is not practical
to restrict their privileges in regard to
their disposition.
Another amusing sight is the tourist,
American or English, and there are
many who, during the summer season,
appear at the opera in outing Co.'S
tunes, while the feminine members
of the family are attired in dark skirts
and silk blouses. The only sign of
suitable toilets is the absence Of hats
This is eXacted by the direction of the
theater, otherwise the Partisan would
no doubt be treated to the regulation
sailor hat worn by summer tourists.
The aspect of the opera with rows of
gaily- -bedecked maids and Wallets in the
boxes and simply attired-tourists in
the stalls can more easily be imagined
than described.
Curiously enough, the concert season
IN New York begins this year with
musical entertainment, furnished en-
ttrely by newcomers. The opening
gun was fired Friday night, at the Met
ropolitan opera house, by the Banda
Rosa di San Severe, an Italian or
ganiZation of sixty men commanded by
Signor Eugenio Sorrentino The Ban
da Rosa, or Red Band is the munich
pal band of the town of San Severe,
and during it's fourteen years of exis-
tence has won considerable fame, at
least in Italy. 1t carried off first prize
at the ChristofOro Colombo festival at
Genoa in 1892 form siXty-four competi-
tors.
Accompanying the band as soloists
are Fraulein Margarete Won Vahsel,
