NOTES HERE AND THERE
BY MYRTLE MILES

The opening of the grand opera season in New Orleans, which is always an oc- casion of great brilliance, was said to be of yesterday has the following:
 At the opening of the opera fues- day evening, which meant too thet for maj opening of the social season, there was such a bewi1dering amount of beauty and richness and such won derfully large gathering of the fashion ables that never before in the history of the opening night has the event proved so brilliant and attractive. All of society was there, old and young, overcrowding every part of the old opera house and all enthusiastic over the beginning of the musical and social seasons. Old habitues were noted again in their same boxes, a long list or this seasons debutantes were adding to the social eclat of the evening and everywhere was brfliancy and the charm of social intercourse. About the boxes there was such a wealth of flow CTS, gorgeous punches of roses and every bloom imaginable, that the house resembled a garden as much as any thing else For the first time this sea- son there was an occasion for lavish display of beautiful gowns and the boxes fairly scintillated with the rich ness of the costumes worn by large number of the women attending. For the first time, too, the striking depart ures In the seasons fashions were much in evidence, the mediaeval draperies, the touches of Greek and Egyptian fancies in the cultures, startling at times, but none the less lovely and picturesque. Indeed, the elaborate headdresses were quite the most important feature of decoration, among the younger element especially.
 New Orleans society Is always lost without the opera to attend, and apart from It's musical side, there Is nothing that quite fills the social part it plays in the attractiveness of each winter sea son. So the opening was doubly well comed.
