Fashionable New York neither estab-
lished precedent nor broke one in the
matter OF dress at the great music
drama. which began in the afternoon
and ran far into the evening. Every
body went as he or she pleased: APP
parently, some came In the afternoon
In evening dress and some went home
and changed their clothes at the inter
mission. GIVEN a good valet and mo-
tor or fast horses the transformation
was easy enough, In the evening gor-
geous toilets blossomed along the horse
shoe, set off by dazzling jewels, In the
orchestra everybody wore evening dress
at the beginning Of the first act. So the
answer to the great question as TO how
to dress for long music drama Is still
a moot one 1t all depends on where
you sit, apparently.
