THE FUTURE OF GRAND OPERA
IN NEW YORK.

An Interesting Contribution ON the Sub
Ject by Maurice Grau-John Hare
Speaks of the Differences Between
English and American Audiences.
Regarding the future of opera in
New York, and the large salaries paid
TO the principals. Mr.. Grau said re-
Gently: New York is too important
a musical centre to be deprived of OPP
era even for n season. The public is
exacting, perhaps too much so, being
absolutely unwilling to put up with
any thing but the very best. l don't
think, however, that such a company
as ours could be duplicated any
where. The salaries of the leading
artists l don't regard as eXtrayagant,
as some would have the public be-
lieye, in view of what the same ar
lists can earn elsewhere. The sala-
ries of most of them, 1t is true. have
increased since their first visit TO
America but in many cases these in
creases were provided for in CON
tracts which We're for terms of years.

gradually filled out by the application
of pure grease to them every night The
eyebrows should not be rubbed OF
brushed the wrong way. Eyebrow
brushes should be used TO apply the
grease. Pure vaseline, by the way, is
the best.
Vaseline applied to the eyelashes
with great care will increase theiI
growth, and stroling them upward
gives them the curly tendency, which is
u charm TO any eye. Children's eye
lashes may be very slightly clipped al
the ends occasionally, and will grow
longer and better in consequence; bu,
a grown-up person should on no ac'
count tamper in this way with tn,
lashes. as il only makes them grow
coarse and stubbly. Even when cut
ting children's eyelashes the very great
est care should be exercised and only
the very tips should be clipped.
Infamed eyelids may be washed il

may be bathed in elderhower water
The following recipe makes soothing
and refreshing wash for tired eyes;
Take q quart of soft water, a pinch OF

The remains of a rare steak may be
made into an excellent dish as follows:
Chop the meat fine, and for each CUP
OF meat add 4 teaSpoonful of chopped
ham and half as much bread crumbs as
YOU have meat. Moisten the crumbs
with little milk and mix them with
the meat. Season highly with salt and
pepper and chopped parsley. or 4 little

parsley. Beat one egg light and add

Take piece of fresh brown paper
and butter it well. Place the meaSnix-
ture in the middle Of the paper, shape
il into square loaf; fold the paper
around the meat and over the ends, as
when doing up parcel, turning the
ends under the loaf so that they will
remain in place without Irvine. Place
the parcel in q baking pan and put it
in hot oven and bake for . minutes.
Then carefully remove the paper from
