WHERE CANDLES BURN.
Metropolitan Opera House and Brook
Club Dining-rOOm the Places.

There are two places in New York
where candles are burned every night,
these being the Metropolitan Opera House
and the dining-rOom of the Brook Club
The Metropolitan is the only place Of
amusement I'm New York that does not
depend on a sparate circuit of electric
lights to furnish illumination and a means
Of seeing the way 20 safety in case Of ac-
cident, as most theaters or halls do
Along the walls Of all the fOyers and cor
Tidors there are ragged glass-inclosed
candle holders, shaIs,S much like small
carriage lamps, In which candles always
burn while a performance Of any kind is
going on. This is a fashion that was in
trOduCed when the opera house was first
opened, and II has never been changed
No matter what may happen to the cleo
trio light system, this primitive system
OF lighting can be depended on so long as
the candles last.
The candles that are burned in the
Brook Club are for altogether another
reason, The dining-room Of that social
institution IS decorated In the Georgian
style, and It is to harmOnize with this
that candles are used. AS the club is al
ways open, the number Of these tapers
used in the course of a year runs up to
a large figure, for the candles are burned
from nightfalI one day TO daybreak the
next, always granting any of the members
are taking a meal in the room. William
c. Whitney had a weakness for this kind
OF illumination In his dining room, his
table always being set, with candlesticks
filed with great wax tapers, three inches
thick, that he had imported specially
from Italy for this purpose.
