Fashion Notes.

That all lace dresses are to be among
the best of the new things is made sure
by the importation of thousands of all
over lace dress patterns and also any
amount of frontings, yestings, etc.
Some OF the all over designs have the
ground white or black and the design
worked over the surface. Heavy laces
for gowns are also offered in the
shapes which will be required to fash
ion the gown. a rich Irish point gown
has two skirts, one reaching to the
knees and the other to the feet. These
parts are specially shaped and finished
for the purpose. Other pieces are fur
nished for waist and sleeves. nice

the bottom is needed 10 show them off.

and so moving and the musical effect

that it is almost painful. ever the
strongest feeling the strain and inten-
sity of it.
Frau Wagner and her son, Siegfried,
personally manage the "Parsifar' fes-
tiyals of Baireuth. She is described as
tall and remarkably thin. with delicate
features and a distinguished bearing.
She greatly resembles her father, Franz
List; is a keen business m is
wealthy and has the assurance of a
from her husbands operas and the
sale of his works. Before her marriage
to Richard Wagner she had beer the
wife of another world famous mnsi-
clan, Hans Won BuIow.
Herr Siegfried Wagner, her son. is a
musician of ability. Physically he is n
small man, though larger than was his
father, whom he is said to resemble.
He was educated to become an archi-
tect. His father did not encourage him
to study music. and he did not attempt
to do so until he was twenty. After
working hard and learning to play
many instruments he appeared as Il
conductor of his fathers works. His
later life has beer spent in Baireuth.
Several years ago an opera of his own
creation, der Barenheuter,' made a
hit in Berlin. Herr Wagner is thirty
four years old and unmarried.
Heinrich Conried. who succeeded
Maurice Grau as manager of the Met

a successful career as an actor in the

RAUNAGNERANGRY
Why SHE SEEKS TO PREVENT THE
PRODUCTION Of "PARSlFAL."

widow of the Great Composer Says
II Was His Desire That the Sacred
Nusic Drlmn should Never Be Per-
formed outside of Baireuth.
Musical circles all over the world are
deeply interested in the outcome of the
action, recently instituted in New York
by Frau Cosima Wagner and her son,
Siegfried Wagner, to restrain Heinrich
Conried, manager of the Metropolitan
Onera House of New York. from pro-
ducing the sacred music drama "Parsi-
fall"
In presenting her case to he United
States circuit court Frau Wagner
through her attorneys states that in
1877 Richard Wagner composed the
poem and in 1879 the music for what
he called Il sacred music drama, known
as "Parsifal." the story of which is
founded upon the old Arthurian legend
of the Holy Grail" and introduces
Biblical characters and incidents. in
Guiding the baptism of Christ, the last
supper. Mary Magdalene washing the
feet Of the Saviour, etc.
Frau Wagner says that "Parsifap'
was the browning work of her husband
and that because of its religious and
spiritual nature should not be included
in the same category as his other mu-
steal compositions or be subject to pc
cuniary transactions. but should be
kept separate and apart and performed
nowhere outside of Baireuth, Bavaria. :
4 few years prior to his death in 1883
Richard Wagner built the theater at
Baireutli known as the Festspielhaus,
which was solely devoted to the presen-
tation of his works, and it Is claimed
by his widow that neither Wagner nor
any of his family has ever received any
pecuniary benefit from the "Parsifal'
performances and that "Parsifal' is
performed solely in accordance with
the desire of its creator and in the in
terest of art and musical culture.
The great Wagner theater, in which
"Parsifal' is annually presented,
