All Germans Go to the Opera.

"The opera begins in Dresden at Z
o'clock and closes at 49," writes Lillian
Bell from Berlin to The Ladies' Home
Journal. "The best seats are absurdly
cheap, and whole families, whole
schools, whole communities, I should
say, 60 there together. Coming straight
from Paris, from the theatrical, viva
cious, enthusiastic French audiences,
this first German audience seemed seri-
GUS, thoughtful, appreoiative, but un-
enthusiastic. They use more Judgment
about applause than the French. They
W interrupt a scene, or even a mu.
sioal phrase, with misplaced applause.
Their appreciation is slow, but hearty,
and always worthily disposed. The
French are given to exaggerating an
emotion and to %applauding an eccen-
tricity. Even their subtlety is overdone.
The German drama is cleaner, the fam
lily tie is made much of, sentiment is
encouraged instead Of being ridiouled, as
it too often is in America, but the Ger
man point of view Of Americansis quite
as much distorted as the French. That
statement is severe, but true. 1t would
be utterly impossible for the American
girl to be more exquisitely misunder-
stood than by French and German men"

The Peace Commissions Work.

The instructions to the peace commits
sioners before they started to Paris
were not made public for obvious rea-
sons, but from a high official comes the
statement that this country will insist
upon Spain yielding to every demand
we make. She cannot do otherwise than
give up eventually. h is like the SICK
man who is %contending with the strong
in business circles-almost poWerless.
1t takes many years for nations to re-
cover from weakness, but sick men can
quickly regain health and strength by
taking Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
There have been many bad cases of dis
pepsia and indigestion cured by this
medicine when it looked as though cure
was impossible. The Bitters first put
the stomach in order and bring about
proper digestion of food.

AN AUTUMN

The frost's agleam where the dew was dripping
just in the space of a day agone.
The rose deep edge of the sun is slipping
Through mellow mesh of the autumn dawn.
Song of neither the thrush nor the linnet
Rises and sweeps in a broken flow.
Only the breeze on a sweetbrier spinet
Shive,s a pensive adagio.
The froat's agleam on the path I follow.
Scarlet velvet the witch hazel spreads
Adown the slope of the old mill hollow,
Where dodder tangles its ~lustrous threads.
What Is there left Of the summers story
The faded roses, the daisies lost
What of her opulent glow and glory,
Quenched in the film of an autumn frost2
Deep in the fringe of it's willow cover,
Where javelin points of sun are thrust,
The stream that ung to a summer lover
Echoes the song Of an ended trust.
Hattie Whitney in Woman's Home Compan.
