THE OPERA In CHILE.
THERE SOCIETY is SEEN AT
ITS BEST.
The Ein0at Opera House in the World
-ThOse of London and Even Paris Not
Exespted-Tho Government Guarantees

Santiago Cor Chicago Record To
see the aristocracy Of Santiago at its
best one must attend the opera, which
Is given four nights each week during
the winter season by an Italian COM
pany brought from Milan, Italy, and
Its performances are as perfect here
as there. The opera house, which is
one OF the finest in the world, sur
passing everything in London, and
equal to anything we have in the
United States, is owned by the NUM-
cipality, and equipped with costumes,
properties and scenery for all the
standard operas and everything new
that is successful in Paris or other
European musical centers. The house
Ii furnished free of cost and the city
government gives the manager a sub
sidy OF $4,000 a year in cash. The
seats and boxes are sold by subscrip-
lions for season of sixty nights, as
In New York. and are paid for in ad-
vance. There is usually a guaranty
fund also to protect the manager from
financial loss. Those who lease boxes
and seats for the season often sublet
them to strangers, and it Is not con-
sidered an improperly, so that people
who are spending only few days in
the city can go to the box office and
obtain seats by paying the regular
rates. The same company appears
thirty nights during the season at
Valparaiso under similar conditions
and with a smaller subsidy. The
singers In the chorus as we'll as the
orchestra are all Italians, and the
principal ballet dancers also come
from Milan. The soloists are first
class. The people will not tolerate
anything else, and the audiences are
quite as interesting as the performers,
for the dressing and the display of
jewels is equal to that seen at the
Covent Garden in London, the Grand
Opera House in Paris or the Metro
politan in New York. 1t surpasses the
displays at Berlin and other cities of
Germany, where the people go to hear
the music and not to show their
clothes. There is a large foyer in
which the people promenade between
the acts, refreshment rooms where
ices, wines, sandwiches and other
light refreshments are served, a
gentleman's cafe. smoking room and
other conveniences. The president of
the republic has large box on one
side of the stage and the mayor Of
the city has one on the other side,
which are ex-officio, and a novelty /
have never seen before is mourning
boxes, protected by screens, in which
people who are not wearing colors or
going into society can see without be-
Ing seen, and enjoy the music in re-
tirement. Above the footlights upon
the stage is a long row of tunnels
which communicate the music by tele-
phone to different residences of the
city.

Some new fancies in toilet scarfs and
pin cushions seen lately were a de-
light to the eye. The prettiest one
was Of boiling cloth, in each corner of
which was a beautiful conventionalized
design appliQued in green satin. Grace
ful sprays of wild roses formed the
border, the lovely pink blossoms run
ming over on the green saIIn. The pin
cushion matched the scarf and both
were lined with white satin. Another
set, not quite 30 dainty, but far more
practical, was of white linen, with the
corners appliqued in pink linen and an
embroidered border Of charming de-
sign. Nothing in the way OF table

cinating Bulgarian productions. The
odd neutral colors-drabs, browns, dull
yellow, reds and blues, with here and
there dash of black-are combined in
such a way in the striking Russian
designs as to give the most pleasing

her daughters reading is such as will

Reelfoot lake is the largest body of
water in the state, and it was formed
by seismic disturbances in 1911. Peo-
pie who do not live in this section
imagine 1t but a pleasure resort for
fishing and hunting parties, and do
not know that from its waters at least
100 people gain livelihood. There
are two wholesale fish houses here
and several at Hickman, Ky, that have
wagons constantly on the road bring
ing thousands of pounds OF fish daily
for shipment. There are 1900 nets
in Reelfoot, worked by some 500 peo-
pie. Taking all that are connected
directly and indirectly. with fishing
and hunting, at least 900 people earn
living from the lake.-Nashville

Hsw q Came In.o Great Brltaa



Possession.
Mr.. Froude was an apostle Of expan.
sion of England, yet in lecture which
he delivered in Edinburgh in 1880,
says the New York Post he told some
very unpleasant truths about the way
the English had wronged the Dutch in
South Africa. In particular did he
dilate upon the manner In which Kim
berley, with its diamond mines. be-
came a British possession. The rea-
soning was, in brief, mo state but
England could be allowed to possess
the finest diamond mine in the world"
Great Britain had abandoned the
Grange river territory because It was
thought useless. BY the treaty of ALI
wal, signed with the Dutch in 1869,
England pledged herself to interfere
no further north of the Orange river.
But the ink was scarcely dry ON this
document when the Kimberley mines
were discovered, and that altered the
case entirely. The diamonds stirred
the consciences of the English authori-
ties. They found that the Kimberley
region really belonged to a Griqua
chief, not at all to the Dutch; so they
proceeded to take it away from the
Free State in order to hand 1t care
fully back to it's rightful owner, the
lawless native chief. But, unfortu-
nately, he could not be found when
the time came, and, therefore, Eng
land was compelled to anne :, the dia-
mond fields, handing over $3.50 900 to
the Orange Free State as "compensa-
ton" 1t was, said Mr. Froude, "one
of the most scandalous acts recorded
In our history In modern European
history no treaty has ever been broken
with more deliberate shamelessness
than the treaty of Ailwal was broken
by us when we annexed the diamond
fields" Yet Mr. Froude acquitted the
English authorities of doing what they
consciously knew to be wrong" The
explanation is that when English
men wish that a particular course
shall be right they are perfectly con-
WINGED that 1t is right"

Goeoanat Cream.

A coeoanut cream to spread on thin
layers OF cake requires one cup of milk,
one-half cup of grated cocoanut, one
cup OF sugar, a small lump of butter.
Boil all together; when it comes to a
boil put in one tablespoonful of corn
starch dissolved in little milk; let all
come to the boiling point; when near
ly cold beat in one egg. Spread this
on the layer of cake. and you have the
cocoanut cake which literally melts in
your mouth.
