Americans may be pardoned feeling of de-
cided complacency over the opera announce
ments OF the coming seasonal complacency
heightened by touch Of condescending pity
for opera lovers across the water In a few
weeks scarcely an operate star of great mag
nitude will be left in all Europe. Neverthe-
less Il is safe to say that foreigners would
stare at the notion Of America being better
off, in musical way, than they In
Harper's Bazaar is an anecdote that illustrates
this point A year or two ago a cultured
English woman sat next to a party of Amer
leans at table d'hote in a Vienna hotel. She
was not patronizing, as many Of her country
women are. Still, her unconcealed curiosity
about this country was what may be descrlb-
ed as chronological. In the course of con-
veTsetion one Of the Americans spoke OF opera
in New York.
"Oh! do you have opera in American" asked
THE best in the world" was replied with
calm assurance.

knew you had wonderful inventions. and all
that sort of thing, but 1 didn't know you
had art or music.

An important announcement for the autumn
publishing season is that volume by the
late Capt. Sir Richard Burton. 1t is entitled
'"The Jew, the Gypsy and Ell Islam" This
is an extremely important study OF these
three subjects. The book was issued a little
earlier in England than in America, and the
part concerning the Jews has already created
violent controversy there. The book was
edited by w. II. wilkins and since Lady
Burton's death he seems to be allowed a
freer hand with Burton's literary remains.
