apartments. One night Bizet finished a
ramati bit. in which he flattered him,

pride of a triumphant toreador after a sue
cessful bull fight. But Halevy listened in
silence and showed but a moderate en-
thusiasm. Bizet, somewhat piqued, asked
the cause of his GOODNESS. D..
It's good. I admit" said Halevy. '.In
fact, It's TOO good. 1t lacks
it lacks snap-in short, it's not popular

Not popular!" shouted the piqued COM
poser. D you want me to write for the

relented, and in an hour returned with
another air. Listen to this said he.
