The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1905-04-02

r. soul and body to music for the
- last two weeks, and though the
Is excitement is past and nothing
quite so notable as the coming
of two great opera companies is sched-
uled for the immediate future, the
discussion about "Parsifal' and the
comparison of the two presentations
still RACES. On the whole, there are
larger numbers who liked 'ParsifaP'
than those who did not; a few who
did not like it and were afraid to say
so, and some who did not like it at all
and did say so. But one thing has
been demonstrated in both cities, and
that is, when given the best in music
we patronize it literally, and the ex-
perience of these weeks has given
much impetus to the project of an au-
ditorium for st. Paul, so that we may
not need to go to Minneapolis for our
grand opera after this.

The women of the D. A. R. are be-
ginning to talk and think about the
national congress which is to be held
in Washington the latter part of the
month, and which is usually well at
tended by st. Paul women. The re-
tirement of Mrs Liggett as state regent
was regretted, as she has served the
daughters well, but the selection of
Mrs. John Washburn Of Duluth to
succeed her and her undoubted cleo
ton to that office, when the delegates
gather in Washington, will place a
very able woman at the head of the
society in this state. The congress this
year will be more than usually inter
eSting for two reasons; because Of
