also volunteered the information that 1t was
customary for the supes to give to the
supermaster their first nights wages a. q

BY this time Crosby had found something
for the curious youth, and he was sum-
moned to receive his garments. It seems,
though, that the army was still SO atten-
uated that all the ushers were summoned
from the front Of the house n hustled
into uniforms, and their maledictions caused
the other fellows to laugh at them.
Don't believe. though, that there II any
fun getting into those garments. First. you
step into tights that refuse to be tight,
and rip at the seams at the slightest provo
cation; and then you stand and wonder
how to fasten them around the waist until
some fellow throws you a piece OF rope.
Then you slip a shirt over your body and
squirm into a long robe that was made for
a mar twice your circumference, and won

The youth who was curious had some
sort Of thing-um which he did not know
where to place, so he buckled 1t around
his neck. But, to his perplexity, he found
that 1t would hold at least three more
necks. About the time he made the discov-
cry he heard q shout of laughter In the
room. He was the cause Of it. His collar
belonged around his waist. After that he
asked somebody for instructions about the
sandals.

after fearful protests.
A week before Aida" was produced a
youth, who was curious about the doingS
of the '.supes'' and how things transpired
behind the scenes on the first night OF an
operate production. made Inquiries about
the qualifications necessary to 'supe." The
supernaster told him to return on Saturday
morning at 10 o'clock. 1t happened. though.
that the youth did not arrive in the foyer
of the Music Hall until about II o'clock,
and he found four other individuals In vari-
Gus states of dilapidation hanging about
with an expectant air. They said they had
been there for some time. waiting, but the
supermaster had not arrived. They amused
themselves by watching some checked
jacketed negroes sweeping and incidentally
inhaling prodigious quantities OF dust. FL

tire opera was rehearsed under the direc-

engineer.
There was no fun about it to any of the
people on the stage. They gaped and
yawned and whispered until their turn
came to go on. and after that they left
the theater.
Monday night the youth who was curious
presented himself at the stage door about
8 o'clock. and not a step was he allowed
further than the door until he whispered
into the ear Of a silent guard the mystic
word: Crosby" This. you should know,
is the name Of the assistant s~upermaster,
and If you utter 1t the seminal will mere

your proportions and stand aside and d.
