1.-THE Beggars Opera" for many rea-
sons, occupies unique position In the
history of the British stage. II is not
necessary to dwell on its wit. its satire,
its rollicking humor-these qualities are
patent, and were recognized at its
first appearance. That which makes the
opera notable is the good fortune which
attended every step Of its progress cul-
minating I'm the happy selection OF La
vinia Fenton 10 play the part or Poly
Peachum. Whether "The Beggar's OPP
era" made Polly, or Polly the opera
does not matter very much. What does
matter is the fact that. though Tor
century and a half nearly every comedy
actress who could sing was never salts
fled until she had appeared as Polly
Peachum, not one ever succeeded in
eclpsing the fame of the original Polly.
Polly Peachum IS identified with Lavinia
Fenton, and will ever remain so.
The author maintains that the Ger
man Pepusch does not deserve the credit
Of having selected the captivating airs for
Gays songs. since he cannot possibly
have possessed the necessary familiarity
with English ballad music. The success
of the opera was. however, due far more

most of all to Lavinia Fenton, who died

The life story of Charlotte Bronte Is
one of the most interesting of any

poor clergyman of the Church of
England, compelled to endure all sorts
of struggles and hardships, by sheer
force of energy and intellect she be-
came one of the worlds greatest nov
elists.
The love affair of Charlotte came late
In her life. She was born in 1916 In
1907 she was living at Haworth where
her father presided over shall parish,
and had as his curate, the Rev. Arthur
Bell Nichols.
For eight years the curate had been
an admiring yet silent witness of the
virtues of Charlotte. She had not sus-
pected his attachment when the avowel
was made. 1t was vehement and pas
sionate. Charlotte promised a reply on
the morrow, intending, If her father
should give his consent, to make a
favorable one. Mr.. Bronte however, dis
approved of marriages in general. and
was particularly opposed to this one.
She, therefore, in obedience to her
parents wishes, gave a formal re-
fusal Mr.. Nichols resigned his curacy,
and Charlotte, suffering deeply from the
pain which she had thus been made to
afrlict, was glad to temporarily absent
herself from Haworth to visit London
on business.

portion of his time during her absence
in rejecting upon his own selhishness
and in reconciling himself to his daugh-

Nichols paid visit to the parsonage,
and 1t was then agreed he should re-
sumo the curacy. The following June
27 they were married, but she survived
her marriage less than a year, and on
the morning of March 81, 1856, the bell
of the old lIaWOrtl church ranfr forth
her passing knell.
Previous to her marriage with Mr..

seriously attracted her. Two of these
were made in one year. when she was
