BY RA WILING.


@ERALDINE FARRAR and her geese
"A new >fiock, 1t Is said-were the
centre of attraction on the second
night Of the season at the Metropolitan
Opera House last night. when Humper-
dinck's beautiful 'koenigskinder'' was
presented. The hectic fever of the first
nights Aida" with Caruso reasserting
himself as the premier tenor OF the
world, had passed. The house was well
filled but not crowded, and the opera
wa heard attentively and r~ecepuvely
without a marked demonstration at n
time, There were curtain calls splenty
and flowers In profusion for the princi-
pal singers. Miss Farrar getting the
early n while a number Of people
left at the death Of the Kingly Children
. large majority stayed for the anti
climax-the impressive funeral grafton
BY the Fiddler and the burial procession
by the children.
Miss Farrar was irresistible as the
Goose Girl, In most respects the best
character she im~personates, because in
II her acting Is natural and her singing
II void of the faults that sometimes
mar 1t. To the eye. as well as to the
sAs, 1t Is a very beautiful and appealing
picture that she presents. Like Miss
Destinn. she is to be congratulated
upon having lost flesh. Hermann Jad-
lowker. as the Prince. never carried
himself better. and he was in excellent
voice. The pair well deserved the az
lection showed for them by the children.
Florence Wickham Tin the original
cast the Innkeepcr's daughter). because
Of the absence OF Louise Homer. was
the Witch. She appeared In the part
sometimes last season, but she added
some surer touches to her chara cter!za-
ton. Rita Fornia was the Innkeeper's
daughter last night and an attractive
one. but too we'll dressed for the part.
A newcomer was Cleo Gascoigne as the
Child. Her Irritation with the Prince
n her ring around-a-rosy dance with
HIM in tho second act brought her a
spontaneous burst OF applause that
officially was our of place.

MRS. BENJAMIN G. COPELAND
 HOSTESS FOR MISS NABB

A perfect day and the perfection of hos pitality combined to make Mrs. Benja- min Griggsby Copelands party yesterday the most delightful of functions. She entertained at luncheon for Miss Estelle Nabb at the Country club, where a table was arranged in the private dining room. The guests included only the bridesmaids, matrons of honor and others who are to take part in the wedding.
 Mrs Copeland's art in arranging for a hospitality is well understood; her dec- orative motif always combines originality and daintiness. Yesterday she chose pink, her favorite color, for effecting the de- tails of her luncheon. In the center of the table was a low design fashioned of pink chrysanthemums, whose tone ap- peared again in the fluffy shades which topped a number of rose cooyed candles. Cupid was prominent in the details of the luncheon, standing at each place and bearing a miniature hat box or box of flowers with the name of the honoree. At Miss Nabbs plate stood a yelled bride in miniature. The details were effectively planned, ices, cakes and hints emphasiz- ing the chrysanthemum idea which is so fitting at this season. In. the party were Mrs. Copeland, Miss Nabb, Mrs. Walter Chew Phillips, Mrs. Hubert Drennen, Miss Helen Eustis, Miss Kathleen String fellow. Miss Mary Ware, Miss Margaret Latady, Miss Mabel Wheelock, Miss Gladys Enslen, Mrs. Robert Ba1gh. Mrs. Webb Crawford, Mrs. Bradley Johnson Saunders and Mrs. Charles H. Nabb.

Mrs. Solon Jacobs, the chairman of the house committee, whose personnel includes Mrs. w. B. Leedy Mrs. E. w. Barrett and Mrs. Samson, has just re- turned from New York. where for several
 weeks she has been shopping for the club. A number of lovely things were chosen, many of which will not be re- ceived until some time in November.
 Until their arrival the club pennant will
 again inaugurated. The tea room will be opened to the club members every aft ernoon from to 6:30 during the season
 when scores of people motor out for a chat over the teacups. Pretty china, bear ing the clubs emblem, has been pur- chased for the teas and the gift of a silver tea service from Mir Erskine Ram
 sey will complete the appointments of the lovely new sun parlor in which the
 teas are to take place. The tea service
 was chosen by Mrs. Jacobs for Mir. Ram

 And you think that year at board Ing school will equip her with knowl- edge sufficient to take care of herself?" asked the Working Girl, who knows a thing or two.
 "Well, I would scarcely say that" re- piled the Bachelor kindly. "There are a dozen different avenues open to Clarbel. Ehes very talented. She's been drawing and painting all her life; she knows quite a bit about music and she has a very sweet voice, and"
 She's made a speciality then, of music and art?" the Working Girl asked. '- "Oh, mo- not that exactly; she's merely . dilettantc," the Bachelor replied, "and strange to say, she doesn't seem to care for music or art sufficiently to make a speciality of either. She has quite a bit of talent for acknowledgements, I believe they call it nowadays-and be- lieve that is what she wants to special tze."
 'To teach?" the Working Girl inquired.
 "As a platform reader, or entertainer, I believe she means to start" said the man hopelessly. I vetoed the stage from the start.'

SOME INTERESTING NEWS AND
 GOSSIP FROM WASHINGTON
ny WALTER HARPER

on the city the required length of time However, his man, George H. Earle, Jr has been nominated and MT. Penrose Is trying to elect him and arranged his in- eligibility afterward even though spe- cial session of the legislature has to be slled.
 The democrats and Independents are making a strong fight and there are many who believe that they will win. Penrose is working hard to bring about their theil defeat and continue his power and con trol as boss.
 He realizes that the defeat of his candi- date will greatly weaken his position not only in the city of Philadelphia, but in his party as a national figure. He has announced that the defeat of Earle will mean a repudiation of President Taft s position on the tariff and will be used as a wedge against the continuation of the protective policy that has made Philadel- phia the great industrial city it is.
 It was not necessary to drag national politics into the local campaign but MT. Penrose has done it and he will have to accept the consequences. If Earle is de- feated the country will accept it as an in dication of the peopl's repudiation oi President Taft and MT. Penrose just as the latter has stated it. But on the other hand the success of MT. Earle will not necessarily indicate that President Ia1l and MT. Penrose are endorsed.
 This happens to be an exceptional case where the rule does not work two ways.
 To further secure his position Senator Penrose has come out in an interview in which he strongly advocates a commits sion form of government. This is a prac- tica1 admission that the present system Is corrupt and unwieldy. It is also an ad- mission that the boss has recognized the popular distrust of the people in the pres ent form and practices of government and want some sort of reform.
 The Philadelphia councils. common and select. have a membership of 130 men. MT. Penrose would reduce this number to seven or nine men who are to be paid sal aries of about 5000 year. He declares that men could be selected who would de- vote their entire time to the administra- tion of the government and the salary would secure better men that Is the rule under the present system.
 Senator Penrose is very resourceful and his great activity in the present local campaign but emphasizes the fact that he feels the ground slipping from under his feet.
 While on his way to his office in the capitol a few mornings ago, Chief. Justice White of the supreme court of the United States came upon small court page boy court documents. The bundle was tied

 Everyone who has been at the club re- gently is talking of the changes that have been wrought The dressing rooms are beautiful the private dining room. when completed will it is predicted, be the handsomest room in Birmingham, and the other changes and accessories which will be later added will make it a de- lightful place for the many beautiful af- fairs which will be given there during the busy season of society.

Washington, October 3O.-(Special.) )-Th' Age-Herald's Washington office faces Pennsylvania avenue. It is on the fiftf floor of the Post building.
 Beneath my window the other day was bowling mob of not less than 5000 people Before sitting down to write my daily letter I stood at my window and looked down on the spectacle for perhaps quar- ter of an hour. The seething mass oi humanity swayed and rocked while the howls and shrieks that rose from leather bound throats gave you some idea oi what pandemonium looks like if there is such a place.
 Mounted police and police on foot pa trolled the outer edges of the crowd, keep ing them in line and preventing the con gestion from clogging up the entire ave nue.
 What was it all about?
 It was not a mob in reality after human blood. It was not a starving mass of poverty stricken humanity in line for q loaf of bread from the hand of relentine charity It was not a rush of bargain hunters on the opening of a departmen' store where goods have been marked up
 No. A champion baseball game was be- ing played over in Philadelphia and the results step by step were being recorded on a large electrically equipped board in front of the building.
 United States Senator Penrose Is on trial in Philadelphia. He has also put Presi- a,txr np trial in the campaign for mayor of that city. which Is now in progress.
 Penrose is known as the republican boss of Philadelphia Recognizing the shaky condition of his party on account of fla grant corruption in former adminstra- tiops. he has tried to avert defeat in the selection of a nST man for mayor.
 It has developed that his candidate Is probably ineligible to hold the office for the reason that he has not been a citizen

ANNOUNCEMENTS

The executive board of the Woman's Missionary union will meet tomorrow morning at 10:30 at the First Baptist church.
 Attention was called yesterday to an evident apprehension in regard to the Aldrich- Washburn concerts. It appears that there are some who have formed the impression that the concert the night of November 10, which Is given under ths auspices of the Free Kindergarten of St.. Mary son. the Highlands by Mrs Truman Aldrich. Jr., with MT. Charles c. Wash hurn of Nashville, is part of Mrs. Aldrich's series of musicales. The chair man for the Aldrich- Washburn concert yesterday asked that 1t be stated that the two ventures are in no way connect ed; that the Sunday matinee recitals for which Mrs. Aldrich contracted during the summer are to be presented entirely by foreign talent, and will have no benefi- ciary beyond the public generally whom Mrs. Aldrich seeks to provide with good Sunday musicales at low cost. The AL orich- -Washburn concert, on the other hand, Is to have Mrs. -Aldrich as of it's artists, and will be the only musicale given in Birmingham this winter at which she will be heard. It's beneficiary will be St. Mary's Free Kindergarten.
 A very important meeting of the ex- ecutive board of the Golden Missionary jubilee is called for tomorrow afternoon at 8 o'clock at the First Methodist church by order of the general chairman, Mrs. Hamilton. All chairmen are urged to be present so that final details may be set tied and tickets accounted for

Many young people are taking ad- vantage of the time of witches for the testing of fortunes and for mystic dis cussions. A little group assembled at the home of Miss Eleanor Starnes, who had arranged a typical Halloween evening for their entertainment. There were five girls in the party and after dinner in which jack O lanterns and apples and other em- blems of the season played a prominent part, followed the telling of tales over a big fire which sent out it's rays In the semi-darkness of a quiet room at the top of the house. The young girls re- mained during the night, and at breakfast varied and startling dreams were re- counted.
