This winter the tiny babies wear
smaller bonnets than they did last win
ter. Close-ftting little bonnets Of null
or moussellne de sole, slipped on over
little quilted satin caps, are the most
popular. But there are still numbers of
tiny babies that have the elaborate
lamp shade affairs to support on their
wee heads.
Then, too, over some of the elabo-
rately dressed babies faces are thrown
a smothering amount of heavily en-
broidered yelling that is supposed to
shield them from the elements.
Much of the yelling is plain over the
eyes and embroidered elsewhere, giving
the babies the curious look Of an east
ern woman who shows only her eyes.
1t is curious to note how simply
these babies are dressed, under their
elaborate outdoor robes, often wearing
only the plainest white slip.

no Nordica nor Eannes, nor did we have
a school of music worthy to fit singers
for the stage.
Grand opera now is regarded as an
educational help. All the seminaries
and colleges bring their pupils to hear
grand opera sung in one of the largest
opera houses, and for three weeks the
town revolves around the big yellow
building on Broadway where singers go
nightly to MARBLE.
A Vanderbilt was once asked what 1t
cost him to take his family through

know, but their gowns cost $4,000, and

country homes, to open the grand opera
at the Metropolitan Opera House.
The season this year consists of fif-
teen nights and FIVE matinees. During
those fifteen evenings all the great
operate compositions will be sung and
more than half Of the great singers of
the universe will be present.
The Big -Four in vocalism consists, ac-
cording to a popular vote taken some
time ago, of Nordica, Melba, Eames and
Calve. 1t is feared that Eames and
Calve may be absent the whole season,
but Melba and Nordica will surely be

glory of the war with Spain, and now
that peace Is at hand and no chance for
their patriotic desires to be fulhNed,
they will be obliged to content them
selves with reading of the thrilling
events that occurred In Cuba, or wit

that incorporate our soldiers and sail

months. A production which will appeal
strongly is Paul Giimore's historic and
romantic drama, "The Dawn OF Free

facts. and presents quite an accurate
history OF the entire Cuban question,
commencing at the uprising OF an OPP
pressed people and following to its log

in THE OIL FIELDS.

The deep sand territory in Mononga-

dence and furnishing some nice pro-
ducers. owing to the big expense at
tached to drilling, very few operators
have gone up against that country, ex-
cept the larger concerns. The Carter

and with gratifying results. on the

on the Parr came in a thirty barrel pro-
