Word comes from Paris that there

up in arms, while the citizen weigh

ing up his sleeve. 1t is a case where
leanness has its compensation. The
revenues derived from the ordinary
channels in the town mentioned being
inadequate for municipal needs, a new
plan of taxation was devised. 1t was
to tax its citizens according to their
weight. The citizen of 135 pounds
pays nothing under the terms of this
unique scheme, but from that weight
on up the tax rises steadily until it
attains formidable proportions with

OLD MUSIC FOR NEW.
General Demand for Good Novelties
to Satisfy Musical Taste.

From the New York sun.
Two recent incidents in the musical
world are evidence of the too limited sup
ply of operate compositions While the
number of lyric theaters increases con-
stantly because the part of the public able
and anxious to take their pleasure by at
tending the performances in the musical
theaters grows every year larger, the
number of works possessing the power to
appeal strongly to audiences does not in
crease in the same ratio. So extension of
the operate repertoire is constantly
sought by impresarios.
1t is not possible that the domination
of GiacOmO Puccini can continue for a
long time. 1t is to provide successors to
his popular works that is the present
problem of the managers. The state OPP
era houses in both Vienna and Stuttgart
have just announced their intention to
mount "Parsifal' so soon as the end OF
the year makes that opera pubic prop
erty. 1t is especially significant of the
desire of the managers to appropriate
this work that Vienna. with which Rich
ard Wagner was in his lifetime SO closely
identified, should also have refused to
listen to the friends of the Wagner fam
lily or the influential organization which
is protesting against the use of the sacred
festival play outside of Bayreuth The
committee formed to endeavor to make
the reichstag take such action as to in
sure the play to the heirs of Richard
Wagner now includes many representa-
tive names. But it is evident that the
desire of the impresarios to acquire the
use of a new work will prevail against
any sentimental sympathy with the strug-
giles of the Wagner family.
Another effort TO obtain available ma
terial for the operate supply is the Sug-
gestion of a German authority music.
He regrets that certain fine acts in operas
are not heard because of weaknesses that
may exist in other parts OF the work. He
has cited examples two episodes in
operas which are altogether worthy of
introduction to the present genera ton of
operagoers. The second act of Gluck' S
"Alceste,' which would never be heard
in these days If it were necessary to
condemn the pubic to listen as Well to
the first act and the third, is one of these
the temple scene, which is regarded as a
most inspired composition.
Two acts of BerlioZ's "Benvenuto Gel
ini. which is only occasionally heard
nowadays, are also suggested as speci-
mems of kind that might be presented
for the sake of their musical beauty and
are of such dramatic fiber that their sep
aration from the rest of the libretto is
not fatal to the enjoyment of them. Such
a process of restoring to the lyric stage
parts of older works which are deServing
of a hearing, but are not strong enough
to carry the inferior parts of their score
might unearth some beauties that would

"Our Wives"

Our Wives comedy which has hau
a notable run in Germany, will be pro-
duced at the National Theater next

Our wives" the funniest play ever writ
ten. The piece has met with the same
success in Austria, Russia and France
that IL had in Germany. where IT has
been running for four years.
The delay in presenting the play IN
this country is attributed to difficulty
in securing the four distinctly different
types of beautiful young women required
by the story. The difficulty is said 10
have been overcome.

Around the City

This is the open season for young
mothers who are starting their babies to
school. The young mother knows what
it is to hand little son over to teacher in
the alluring deusion that he will stay
put And she knows how little son bawls
until she has to take him home and do it
all over next day. You cant tell her the
least little thing about it, She knows it
all.
In one case there was a remedy that
worked like a charm. Its name was
papa.
Papa lives out Chevy Chase way and
does things with a blue pencil in town
The other evening, after young mother
and little son had gone through their I'M
varying program, he made a business
proposition. Little son should have roller
skates the first day he remained at
school.
If you own a boy, have ever had
the remotest dealings with one. you know
exactly what happened, so the rest Of
this is just missionary work for benight-
ed Spinsters.
Next afternoon the papa-man was rush
ing his blue pencil over copy that was
too good 10 print, when the telephone
called him off. And this is what vic
torious voice plped out from the other
end:
Hello, papa-bring me my skates-took
a pencil upstairs for Miss Blank-we had
a fire drill-ball bearing-'
The papa-man chuckled promise and
went back to his blue pencil. It's a
mighty proud day. for father when lit

way that begins with school and brings
