Hush money does more talking than
any other kind.
When you see an overdressed
woman escorting a man who looks
like door mat, you know who is the
boss in that house.
A girl can put in ten years acquir-
ing Culture. But that won't keep her
from snoring when she is asleep.
The man who beats his wife isn't
bit worse than the man who robs
his family by spending his money on
his friends.
The old-fashioned man who used to
paddle his own canoe now has son
who owns motor boat named 'Ish-
kabibble."
1t is funny what a difference a
few years make. The girl used to
let you chew her WAX" in school
while you took whirl at hel "all day

"LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR"
SCORES A SUCCESS
Large Audience at National Enjoys
Listening to the Abon
Company.

'Tis said that to hear Lucia di Lam
mermoor" without a cast of unusual ex-
cellence sings is quite Improbable. so
that the large audience present at the
National Theater. despite the warm
weather. last night. was yet another
tribute to the individual and collective
talent Of the Aborn Opera Company.
We might go even further and say that
Gaetano Donizettfs masterwork Is a
''prima donna opera" and its successful
presentation depends very largely on the
expert Interpretation of the title role.
Edith Helena, who sang Lucia last
night, was quite satisfying as the hap
less heroine. She has an admirable So
prano, and delivered the difficult runs
and breezy staccati of the music with
real brilliance. Her acting. too. particu-
larly in the Mad Scene" was most ap-
pealing.
