The Opera in History.

In one sense the opera is one of the
oldest forms of entertainment, for its
origin Is to be found in the old Greek
drama. In its modern sense, however
IT dates from the year 1900, when Peri
produced the first true Italian opera ia
grace the festivities of the marriage of
Henry Nv. of France and Maria de
Medici The work attracted great at
tention, and many Italian mobiles fig
ured in the cast. In France the opera
was the outcome of the ballet and in
England Of the masque, Purcell Is en-
titled to the honor OF producing the
first real English opera, although one
OF Ben Jonson's Mosques was set to
music as early as l6t7.

RETAIN LONGING FOR ROMANCE
Frequent Cause of Tragedy in the Life
of a Woman.

II is because women are always
striving to keep love at some emo

years of marriage, are quite content &c
let romance die out and settle down
10 placid, comfortable, humdrnm eX
istencc, writes Mildred Herbert urneI
In the Red Book.
How often does one see woman
past her first youth, and yet with her
Unsuitable longing for romance still
strong within her, striving with all hei
arts and wiles to make of her stolid
p"osaic midd!e-aged husband an ar
dent, romantic lover. Usually the man
IS biandly unconscious of her efforts
or at most mildly wonders why Mary
after all these years, could not take
his love for granted and not insist
on being constantly told of it,
Aad there lies the tragedy of most
women's lives. They want to be told
constantly, repeatedly told that they
are loved. They can never be recon
cilcd to taking II for granted. However
faithful and devoted they may know
their husbands are at heart, they want
it in words, They want, through al
their married life, all the little love
phrases and tender attentions of their
honeymoons. And not one woman in
ten thousand gets them! Yet with
what pitiful persistency they keep or
