"PARSIFAL"
BRILLIANTLY PRESENTED
There Was, However. Shade of Disappointment
What to Wear and Where TO Eat Prob
lens Bobbed Up TO Worry Society

New York, Dec. 24-In spite of sue
cessive legal complications, a small
storm of pulpit protest and some enor-
nous practical difficulties, Richard
Wagner's sacred music drama, or dedi-
catorial festival play "Parsifal," was
produced at the Metropolitan Opera
House this evening before an immense
audience. The production takes rank
not only as the most sensational event
in American dramatic history, but it
has a worldwide Importance as the
first public performance of the much
discussed drama out of Baireuth, and
as a serious blow aimed at the So
called "Baireuth monopoly" which
"Parsifal," by it's restriction to that
stage, has largely created and main
tanned for the Wagner heirs.
To give the work has meant the
complete rebuilding of the Metropol-
itan stage, the purchase of most elab-
crate mechanical appliances and light
ing apparatus and ransacking of the
musical centers of Europe to secure a
corps of experts for every department,
competent to direct the details of the
drama as it is given in Baireuth.
The results as summed up in to-
nights performance amount to a sig
nal triumph for Director Conried. In
the opinion of every one who has
made the "Parsifal Pilgrimage" to
Baireuth New York was treated to
the most sumptuous mounting the
work has ever received. Never has
"Parsifar' been given so superb a
scenic dress, never a more thoroughly
adequate musical Interpretation. That
1t should have failed somewhat to pro-
duce in full measure the profound inn
preston which accompanies it's per-
Torrance abroad may be accounted
for by the conspicuous lack on busy
Broadway of that atmosphere" which
belongs peculiarly to the quiet little
town in the Bavarian hills. This was
to be expected, although every care
was taken to realize Baireuth condi-
lions in the theater itself
1t is safe to say that no such huge
audience has ever been compressed
within the four walls of the Metropoli-
tan Opera House, nor can even an
odd timer" recollect one of such bril-
lance and representative character.
Boston, Philadelphia, Washington. Bal
timore, Chicago and other cities sent
parties of enthusiasts, and almost every
one we'll known in art, literature or
music throughout the country could be
met in the jostle of the Hobbies and cor
ridors. For weeks every seat from
the footlights to the roof had been sold
and could have been resold score of
times.
The performance was begun pune
tually at o'clock, the opening of the
drama and that of each of its acts be-
ing heralded, after Baireuth custom, by
trumpeters upon the main stairs.
The first act ending at Z, was
followed by a recess for dinner. and
the performance was resumed at
quarter before nine and concluded at
about 1130.
These arrangements, coupled with the
total darkening of the house, presented
society with the practical problems of
where to dine" and how to dress"
inasmuch as the curtain arose before

YOU PAY FOR THE NAPKIN.
Though the Charge is Not Made
Openly Here as 1t Is in Europe.
From the New York Sun.

From the New York Sun.
On the continent of Europe the ia
BILE napkin is charged to you, put down
in cold pencil on the check brought by
the waiter-two cents in our money,
whatever it may happen to be in CEN
times or pfennigs. This, at first blush.
appears to be brutal. Many a wall of
indignation has gone up from Ameri-
can travellers abroad because Of the
injustice of it; but, when all is said
and done, in New York, though 1t is
not itemized the napkin is paid for,
Just the same, the price of the dinner
deciding it's quality and frequently its
presence.
For example, one goes to the high
est-priced hotel in the city and the
napkin borders upon the splendid.
About the size of an infant tablecloth,
il flaunts itself. OF damask, emblaz-
oned with the monogram Of the hotel
in letters OF cleaning wilderness, 1t
serves to dazzle. Aside from which,
It is laid courteously across the lap by
an obsequious waiter, whose dress
suit matches it in grandeur, If not in
color. The glistening damask OF the
tablecloth does match.
Go to a hotel a trifie less expensive,
and the linen is of lower quality,
not quite so extravagant as to width
and expansiveness, a shade less glis-
tening, the monogram neither so elab-
crate nor so large.
Go to a third-rate hotel, and the lin
en- is impossible.
1t is the same with restaurants. The
price you pay decides the quality of
the linen, its crispness, its shine. Pay
less and the gloss is gone. Likewise,
occasionally, the napkin. Patronize
cheap restaurant, and the napkins are
piled up beside you on the table. They
are there for you to take your choice,
but there is little choice. They are all
alike, badly ironed, bulgy of hem and
unbeautiful. No obseQuious waiter.
No flourish of laying II carefully over
your gown. Courtesy and beauty are to
be paid for; else you go without.
Go to a still cheaper restaurant.
The napkin shrinks. In some places
TO such degree that you hardly no
tice IL at all.
At the restaurant OF the marble ta-
bic you find a napkin Of exceeding
smallness. A cheaper place yet, and
as likely as not you come upon the
paper napkin, which may be consider
ca worse than no napkin at all.
Still cheaper, descending 10 the
wooden table. where men sit In their
shirt sleeves and smoke. and the nap
Kin disappears entirely, a. H. along
with civilization and its twin sister,
cleanliness. Il had never come into ex-
istencs.

The great event Of the skeeing
clubs of the Western states is the
jumping contest, says Country Life in
America. Only a skee-runner knows
the sensation. Below, the endless hill
seems to stretch on forever into the
expanse of the valley, the steepness
of the incline lost in its Wilderness. A
long breath and you stapt. Faster and
faster you go, till suddenly a flash of
green in front, and the jump off is
coming! Crouching until your knees
almost touch your skees, with muscles
strained, out into the air you sail! A
strange lightness and feebleness take
possession of your limbs, and your
shirt shares the intoxication of soar
ing into space. After long seconds you
are called back to earth, first for half
a second softly, but then hard as iron
that seems to give you an electric
shock. You wobble helplessly from
right to left, each foot seems glued TO
the ground and still in the Air but
YOU have kept your balance and are
shooting forward. At last you catch
your first breath like a hiccough, then
a longer one. You are master OF the
field with jump Of hundred feet
or more, and finish the victorious
course In a neatly rounded curve. II
the present enthusiasm for skeeing
IN America continues. the great win
ter carniyals Of Canada may some day
be rivaled by n great American skee
race similar 20 the famous one held
every winter outside the Norwegian
capital.
