TIE MIRROR IN THE FLAT.
II Has Possibilities In Making Crampcd
Quarters Seem Bigger.

Il wonder that jewellers In oramped
quarters do not make more use OF mirrors
to add light and apparent size to their mar
row apartments,' said a woman whose
hobby is artistic furnishing. In my own
case I have found nothing more effective
In certain rooms than q generous expanse
Take, for instance, my hall. 1t is poorly
lighted by day, and 1t Is q mite Of q place
any way; yet It has to serve the double pur-
pose Of reception hall and an apology for
the much abused music room, by which /
mean it must contain the piano and music
cabinet.
sWhat is more, the ingenious architect
contrived to cut q door whore one Ia en-
tirely useless, and the piano must stand
door. II is a most awkward arrangement
and thought till my brain was numb try
Ing to evolve some scheme for that Inn
possible corner.
Al last it came to me. At dingy little
shop purchased a mirror, buying II at so
much foot, which made 1t quite mex
pensive, and had 1t set in plain pine frame.
The whole thing was as long as my piano
and about ~ feet wide.
Il stained the frame q green that toned
with my wall paper. Then l had 1t hung
Just above the piano, with soft silk
drapery filling in the awkward space be-
tween the mirror and the ceiling.
sThe angle at which the mirror is placed
causes It to reflect light from three rooms,
two Of these having arched openings, across
which are shelyes containing pieces 81 pot
portiares suspended below the shelves gives
a most pleasant picture for my mirror,
and the effect upon the light and airiness OF
my little hall is quite remarkable

THE SEASON AT BAYREUTH.
Complaints I'm the German Press About

Complaints In the German Press About
Nine. Wagner's Methods.
The Bayreuth performances have brought
greater profits to the Wagner family this
year than ever before. In no previous
year has there been such demand for seats.
The expenses were less than ever, for most
of the singers were beginners and their
fees were small
The new tenors failed completely, and
the artistic standard Of the festivals was
never before so low. This Is, OF course,
In direct contrast to the policy of Richard
Wagner, who used to secure the best avail
able artists in Germany. Nine. wagner,
on the other hand, contents herself with
any nonentities that will submit without
dispute to the suggestions OF herself ana
her daughters as to the proper method or
singing, acting and dressing the roles. Even
the German press Is beginning to comment
bitterly on the character OF the perform
ances and dwell on the departure OF Nine.
Wagner from the traditions OF her husband,
who, In his efforts to give his operas ideal
representation, engaged the greatest OF
the worlds singers regardless OF what
they might demand for their services.
Nine Wagner thinks they should be will
ing to sing for merely the glory Of an ap-
tion refuse to do this, she must content her
self with the best she can get. Only this
hypothesis would explain the last casts
at the festival performances.
The same scenery and costumes used

Of the opera are still doing service at Bay
reuth, and there has been no new Nibelungen
scenery for some years. The last new
ecenerybrought there was for Der Fliegende
Hollaender" and that Is expected to serve
future revivals Of the work for years to
come.
The departure OF Hans Richter, the

pleted its work and adjourned. The tick
ct and platform were fixed upon the last
day. President Theodore Roosevelt was
renominated by acclamation. Former
Governor Black OF New York presented
his name in a notable speech. Senator
Beveridge Of Indiana presented his coli
league, Charles W. Fairbanks, who was al
so nominated for vice president without
opposition. Speaker Cannon was chair
man Of the convention and electrified the
convention with his speech. Elihu Root
OF New York made most forcible exposi-
tion OF Republicanism. The platform
adopted takes strong ground for protee-
tion, sound money, an effective army and
navy, glorifies the party and commends
the Roosevelt administration. Secretary
Cortelyou was chosen chairman of the na-
