melodies have been called for over and

IL hes astonished me TO find speh genu-
inc musical culture here. We are wont
10 look for more enthusiasm than criti-
cism fin any but the oldest OF musical
nations. But I have found that 7 have
been under greater tension in America
than ia Europe. AZ times 7 have felt a
greater critical power in the audience.
This has been particularly true Of the
large cities which are in every sense true
Eusic centres.
The men OF America are more like my
own countrymen than any / hive met
elsewhere. They have blood in their
veins. We musicians are apt to see the
cranky side Of most people. because we
are said 10 be cranky ourselves. and
douh'le-5 we are. and a Hungarian mu-
sicisn is the worst Of the lot.
After this statement the American gen
tlenan may not appreciate my remark
that nowhere else have I found men who
SO resembled my own people. But We
are very proud OF cur blood at home. and
I am sure the courteous American gen
tleman is at least a second cousin 10 our

Society IS a business; devotees
must be practical business women.

= OCIETY in New York Is a business.
and TO be successful in it a woman
- must be, first Of all. a practical
business woman. BY a proper
division Of her time she muItipIies It,
and by subtraeting every superfuous
quarter hour she adds immeasurably to
the sum total
We are living in an age Of hurry. We
have not the leisure OF the old salon
days, and we must literally make time
IL we would have enough for the regular
routine work Of everyday life. This is
as apparent probably in the matter Of
conversation as in anything else. a wise
woman recently said, we no longer con-
verse; we talk small talk" A few
chosen words. q few brief courtesies are
all that are allowed as we are hurried
along in the rush. But this very rush
is an incentive 20 put what We have to
say in the most epigrammatic form. We
have keener wits and quicker intuitions
than had the ladies Of long ago, who
called. lolled about for hours and gave
long disquisiJions on politics and man
ners. Our Nine. de StaeIs boil down into
fifty words what that amiable and brill
liant society queen said in i've hundred.
