COST OF A VISIT TO "PARsIrAL. J,
$32 sOr the Young Man who Takes his
Girl Ill Style, and 1t May Come
Higher.
New York Sun.


The young man who thinks of
inviting his lady friend to go to
"Parsifal' had better think a sec
ond time before he undertakes the
job. He is likely to find it an ex-
pense compared with which even
the theatre with chaperon seems
all economy.
Taking for granted that she is
able to go to the opera without a
chaperon, the evenings entertain
ment is still going to be costly
There are the two seats in the first
place. They represent twenty dol
lars, as it Is not probable that she
would want to sit anywhere but in
the orchestra, nor likely that he
would want her to 60 anywhere
else. So that outlay is enough for
a starter.
Then there is the dinner at 7
o'clock. That may be any price from
SO to $40. Then there is the car
riagc. If the young man does the
proper thing he will take his girl in
a cab. 1t would ordinarily cost S.
to take them to the theatre and home
again. But in this case the cost is
double, as the cab must also come
back for the trip to dinner. So if
he gets out of the cab question
under Sc he is fortunate.
This brings the cost Of "Parsi-
fal' evening up to $50, and that is
a minimum figure. That includes
no flowers, no supper and not even
glass Of lemonade in the second
intermission. There are many other
expensive adjuncts to such trip.
But it'looks as if $50 was min
imum estimate.
