you listen to the misanthrope who tells

After thinking profoundly over this

have taken every advantage OF what
it can provide IN this respect. They
visited the sea daily and partook OF
the waters regularly. But what more
than anything else induced them TO
-prolong their stay there 10 the fact
that bennington during the hunting
season is the center OF fashionable

Mrs. Dean Is an enthusiastic follower
of hounds and a fearless rider In stat
ure she Is short and has earned from
her hunting friends the description OF
''the little American woman who rides
with the Judgment and intrepidity OF

put her horse to any fence In order to
be in the first flight close behind the
hounds. Since the commencement OF
the hunting season she has not missed
a single engagement, and now. when
the actual season is finished, she Is

Miss Eleanor Connell's talk last Tues
day morning drew a lot of interesting
people, who were more anxious about
the themes of "Parsifal'' than about
what they should wear to the perform
ance. That the listeners were able to
hear its expounding from the lips of
one so we'll equipped as Miss Connell
was privilege, her personal remi-
niscences of the Bayreuth presentation
being the neatest discussion we've had
during the "Parsifal madness.
At the piano was Mrs. Fannie Meyer
Ellis, whose playing of the important
motifs rounded the oral descriptions.
Miss Connell has been asked to repeat
the lecture In several private drawing
rooms, likewise in Oakland-even the

cannot see 1t in any other light than
Ibsenesque-that is, as far as the un-
developed mind Of the young can
grasp it.
A strange phase of the season was
the disinclination for the women to
visit about-to wander in the balcony,
and unlimber a bit.
Why, here is the splendid, joyous
thing of the Metropolitan Opera-house
this wandering about 'twixt acts.
1t gives atmosphere to the opera, Just
as the breath of the rose adds to it's
beauty. However, it's long cry to the
Metropolitan-so we're not too terribly
to blame for a few provincialisms.
However, we must begin to outgrow
our consciousness some day.
It's all a matter of clothes-this lack
Of ease.
And while on the subject, what can
be offered in extenuation or palliation
of the grabbing of wraps and the bolt
ing for the door that has marred every
last curtain" of the opera? The fact
remains that the curtain had scarcely
touched the floor than a scramble was
made for wraps. but to the everlasting
credit of the upper floors be it said
that there the discourtesy was less ap-

Ask of yourselves if this be kind
kind to the artists who have given Of
the best of their bodies and of their
souls? How that haste must have
chilled them!
The whole matter rests upon our
haste to "get a table"-and that's
greed.
So fixed has the habit become with
US that even Caruso, and Nordica, and
Sembrich couldn't hold us still for a
little minute.
Isn't it time to effect a change?
