When Wagner's energy was not ex-
pended in his art work. says Gustav
kobbe in "Wagner's Personality" in
the Forum. it found vent in many HUI
morous sallies. He once quoted his
teachers remark that he would never
learn to play the piano. But" he
added. Il play great deal better than
Berlioz-" The waggishness OF this re-
mark lies in the fact that Berlioz could
not play at all During a rehearsal Of
the 'Rienzi" overture in Dresden, the
trombones were too loud. Instead of
rebuking them angrily. he said, with .
laugh: Gentlemen, We are in Dres-
den, not marching around the walls Of
Jericho" After "Tannhauser" was
brought out, German composer OF
little note. named Chellard, said that
the Song of the Evening Star" was
wrongly harmonixed." and suggested
certain harmonies which should be
substituted for those employed by
Wagner. When Wagner was among
friends it was one of his favorite d.
versions to seat himself at the piano
and sing the Song of the Evening
Star" a la Chellard.

WOMEN WEAR TROUSERS.
And Men Must Wear shirts to BE Re-
spec,ed In China

And Men Must Wear shirts to BE Re-
spected In China
There is everything in the point OF
view. says Youths Companion. In
China it is considered very unvoman-
ly for a woman not TO wear trousers,
and highly indecorous for a man not
TO have skirts to his coat 1t is no
wonder that the Chinese look askance
at the ordinary American or European
who comes among them. To the Chi
nese. says the author of Intimate Chi
ma" IL seems very uniting for a lady
to go out unattended by a woman, and
for a woman TO stand firmly on her
feet and walk on them like a man is
shocking. Thus there are great diff-
culties for the traveller to get over.
The garment that seems most essential
to the Chinese woman is a pair of
trousers. and she thinks 1t highly i'm
proper for a woman to indicate by a
belt that she possesses a waist. DO
you really eat with your waist girt in
like that?" she asks Of a foreign wom-
an. A mans dress. as We know II. is
still greater scandal in China: and
to the Chinese the only explanation Of
it is that the poor fellow has not cloth
enough to cover himself properly.
Nevertheless, nearly every foreigner.
after spending much time among ORR
entails. admits that the dress be has
grown accustomed to at home is lack
ing in grace and elegance.
