Opera Houses in Europe.

Milan, with a population of some
thing less than SOC, 900 persons, pat
ronizes the year around four opera
houses-La Scala, with a seating ca
pacity of $500; the others with some
what less capacity. Naples, with a
population Of about 100000, including
it's suburbs, maintains as many opera
houses as does Milan. Nice, in France,
with a population Of about $4,000, has
a famous open house. Brussels, Dres-
den, Amsterdam, in fact, all the small
cities of Europe, have n or more
opera houses. The same Is true in
Spain, Russia and the South Amer1-
can states. The majority Of these
opera houses are old, La Scala, for in
stance, having been founded in 177s;
San Carlo. in Naples, in 1877. In Ger.
many music is founded on such a
classic basis that every considerable
town III thai empire has its opera
house.

"Wass Hoill"

The custom of drinking to the health
of friend and foe at the season Of
New Year dates back to very early
days. Indeed. "our forbears" exem-
plifed this idea at the season Of New
Year more fully than we, their prosaic
descendants. The picturesque old was
saiLbowl'-a relic of Saxon days
from which each man drank spiced ale
with a "Wass hall" or Here's to your
health" to his neighbor, was always
a feature in their celebration of the
closing night of the year. Hence grew
the custom among the poor of going
arwassailing," or carrying a ribbon
decked bowl from door to door, and
asking aims that would enable its bear
ers to enjoy a similar libation to their
richer neighbors.

heavy silk cords, and let it be said for
the benefit of the unknownlng that
the place to find the most effective
cords for such purposes is in the up
holstery department of the large
stores. The smart dress-makers have
long since gone there for their Gre
tonnes and kindred fabrics, but this
season they are depending upon the
upholsterers to furnish many of the
heavy trimmings that are to be used
on modish frocks and wraps.
Many a woman is rejoicing over the
fact that she can wear her last win
ter's frocks provided they were mod
ish in their season, and not feel her
self quite out of the picture. With
only a little furnishing up, a little
fishu here and Thereon large one,
for that matter--a SASH or button, or
bit of lace, slight change of sleeve
or collar, almost any good last years
frock ought to pass muster again,
which story carries it's own moral.
When one selects inexpensive ma
terials and trimmings they should be
worn with care and be made into
copies of the very best models OF the
season, not the too popular styles;
then there is always reasonable GER
tainty that they may be used again,
for part of the new season, at least.
OF course there are certain details
which to the observing eye would
stamp a frock as indisputably of the
new seasons vintage, but the changes
have not been so radical as to detail
disinheritance upon any of last win
ter's smart garments, except perhaps
in the matter of the suit coat.
The woman who wore her coat only
moderately short even last winter is
all right. Indeed she is likely to FIND
herself quite in the swim, for the aver
age tailored suit still has its Goa
moderately short, but "oh, the little
more and how much it is, and the

little less and what worlds away"
Browning may not have had suit coats
in mind when he sighed the lines, but
the verse fits the situation as well as
though specially tailored for it.
Already the short coats of yester-
year have taken on a very bunty
aspect, although some of the new mod
els are as short as twenty eight inch
es. Very smart women, however, are
inclining rather to the thirty and thir-
ty-two inch effects. Boleros go in and
out of fashion so persistently that one
hardly knows whether they are in or
out, but they are always de rigeur for
house gowns, while the coat of very
short hip length, certainly the most
becoming of coat lengths, has been
mercifully wiped from fashions slate
for the present.
While coats are longer, there seems
to be no justification for the rumor
that they are going to be closer fit
ting. There is a slight curving in Of
front and side lines on some of the
new models, and there are, of course,
certain belted and girdled models
which are loosely held in; but the
average coat keeps its loose, straight
lines and its shortened waistlne in
| the back, an effect usually obtained by
clever cutting and handling of the side
sections and various seams. That the
kimona sleeve has every intention of
surviving the change of seasons is
evident. Even among the best of the
| imported models one finds it and the
successful frock and blouse models of
many notifications. The long sleeve
! seems the choice of the ultra-smart
woman for daytime frocks, however.
And a word in behalf of the kid
dies, for they have not been over
looked by any means. Just now the
liliputian bazaars are making a fash
ionable appeal with their winter coats.
The warm. light weight silky woolens
of zibelne character which abound
this fall are charming child coat
fabrics, and so many of the other
fashionable woolens which have a
slightly rough surface woolens are
seen. They combine softness and al
appearance of cosey warmth witt
lightness of weight, so that they are
extremely desirable from every view
point.

New York, Sept 26.-Every little
detail of dress has meaning all its
own, to paraphrase an overworked
melody.
Skirts indicate more fullness and

models. Bands are still in vogue for
trimming, and some of them are put

..(ciul fashion for the express pur-
k.pose of giving variety to the lines
with which we have been familiar.
There is a great demand for the silk
serge frock, particularly in the new
shades of blue. The fact that we are
rather well acquainted with the hues
of the serge is relieved by the most
unusual color combinations, for these
new serge dresses are ornamented
with the most brilliant bands of pur-
pie and green you ever saw. Young

of rose and bronze, yet they are ex-

Better Times
After a change
in Food
FEEL RIGHT
When You Feed Right.

You know one always feels very
fit" when the head and nerves swing
along peacefully and with that GER
tain sense of power that is unmistak-
able.
But when overwork or anxiety
breaks down the soft gray matter in
the brain and nerve cells (anXiety will
do it quicker than overwork) faster
than the food you have been using re-
places it. then to save yourself from
that horror of darkness, nervous pros
tration, you must change food and
take on some sure rebuilder.
That's the mission of Grape Nuts,
made of the selected parts of wheat
and barley containing the natural
Phosphate of Potash which combines
with Albumen in the human body and
makes the soft gray filling OF the
brain and nerve centers.
Another thing to be considered is
that Grape-Nuts is "processed' in
making and the starchy parts convert
ed into a form of sugar, exactly as
the process of digestion in the body.
So Grape-Nuts has really passed the
first act of digestion and therefore the
food is quickly assimilated in the
most perfect manner by babe or ath-
lete.
