FRANCIS WILSON, an accomplished I'm
guist. For some time
it was a mystery to his friends how he
acquired q knowledge Of so many Ian
guages. He had never had a French
teacher, yet all at once he began to
speak French like native. A year or
two later and German was at his fin
ger tips: later again, he began to talk
Italian as though to the language born.
And then a friend solved the mystery.
He had learned the languages from his
dressers. 1t was remembered that for
two seasons a French valet who spoke
nothing but his native tongue had min
istered to his dressing room wants.
Then when Mr.. Wilson's Partisan &C.
cent became thoroughly manicured the
Frenchman passed out and was no
more seen. His successor was a Ger
man, and he, after couple Of seasons,
was succeeded by an Italian.
Now the comedians friends are won

Heinrich Conried, manager of the Met

praise. But for the calmness he dis
played a panic among the audience
might easily have resulted. When Mr.
Conried succeeded Maurice Grau as
manager Of the performances Of grand
opera at the Metropolitan Opera House
there were some who doubted his abil-
ity to fill position of such Importance
But his success has shown him equal
to the task thrust upon him when the
