AT THE OPERA.

Mrs. dc Nerc-I'm 50 glad we're in
,,,-o for the overture. | wouldn't have
.......5 If for worlds. Who's that odd
locking creature in white in the box OPP
,o-;teg No. not that one, the--one, two,
l,rea fo,u-the fifth from the end. Just
look at her diamonds!
Mrs Montmorency docking through
her class}-I don't suppose they're real,
They Get those limitations up so well now
odav. If were she | think I'd spend
, little less on my diamonds and Il little
more on my dressmaker. Those sleeves
have gore right out now.
"A musical enthusiast, in neighbor
iro box. SAYS Ssh-h-h! by way of Il gen
tie prote~t,l
Mrs de We're Whose remarks are a
little broken by the varying volume OF
.ound-Ncarly had an accident-Percy
.aid-comiug down the hill at about forty
miles nm hour yelled out-run into the
bcdge-iust managed to get out in time
fling caught fire-Percy gave Gl200
Mound, for it only last week ri@htfully
sick about it.
Mrs. Montmorcncy-Wh this
That's Carmen singing, isn't It? What's
She going to do?
Mrs de Vere-I don't know. | never
cam follow the stor... much. | only come
ta hear the music. I'm so fond of music
That's a pretty dress, isn't it? l had
one something like that for our charity
bazaar | went as Carmen, you know
and everybody said (Her voice is
drowned by a sudden swell in the ac-
companiment.)
Mrs. Montmorency cher narrative suf-
fering from the variation of the music -
AwfulIy disappointed about Ascot
dressmakcr promised me faithfully
came too late to be any good-still,
can't make her take it back-twenty five
gumoas-would be only twenty, but
run an aecount-a pound or two extra
for having to wait-they call it interest,
don't they? Or is it principal never
can tell which is which--says / should
never make successful fnancier-Oh this
one.-third time I've worn it-says he
likes me best in black-all think he has
very refined tastes-artistic temperament
CT something of that sort gone off to
the club with Percy to see a billiard
Several musical enthusiasts, by way
Of mild protest, eNclaim Ss-h-h-h!)
Mrs. de Nere-What are those people
going Ss-h-h-h! for?
Mrs. Montmorency-I don't know.
They can't surely have the impudence to
mean Us. I'm sure if you can't exchange
few words in your own box it's coming
to something. The class of people they
admit to the opera nowadays is dreadful
y inferior to what it was. Fancy any
body "ssh-h-hing" like that in public 1t
ou9htn't to be allowed
Mrs de Nere-I think it the people in
the cheap seats. One can hardly expect
good manners from them. Who's that
singing now?
Mis- Montmorency-Did you get
programme? ! made sure you would,
ana 50 | didn't bother. Let's ring for the
attendant 1 always like to know whom
! m listening to. It's something to talk
about afterward.
MIS- de We're las the music swells
"SaIa Oh. | shan't bother. Percy was
1'7l gong TO get a programme and then
suddenly remembered that hadn't got
any raocolate-must have something to
''hll-cant enjoy the music unless
