That the music called classical often
pals while the old familiar melodies
never lose their power to charm, was
demonstrated recently In front of the
metropolitan Opera House. The or

ninth street corner OF the Broadway
'front.' and from its opened windows
came the sounds OF snatches OF har.
monies that never once took the form
OF what might be called tune. The
rehearsal went on for an hour, but none
OF the passersby stopped for II mo-
ment to listen.
Suddenly the orchestra struck into
Aud Lang Syne" and Broadway came
to halt AS long as the well known
air lasted. So long did every one pause
to listen, until there were II. couple OF

site side OF the street, gazing up at tall
windows out of which the music wos
coming. Ii came to an end with n

moved on.
