he should have gone to four royals. There
were two points which should have
quickly decided his action. First, the
score-the need TO win the game. This
looked possible with his almost solid
honors. An early trump lead to strengthen
the value of his high cards also looked
probable. with his major tenace OF the OPP
ponents declared suit. The second point
was the great strength OF his hand. which
should have warned him that the oppo-

trump lead at the opening against a heart

queen OF hearts, would have taken both of
Scuths trumps and would have left North
two tricks short OF his contract.

North declared one heart and East one

the bidding. West went game on the

Another hand illustrative OF the ques-

and thus made grand slam and $50

South showed their appreciation OF the
situation by allowing the double to stand

ers make under similar conditions. would
have had the effect Of driving one OF the
adversaries back to royals II previous
comparison can be relied upon or taken as
criterion. At four royals doubled East
would have made eight tricks. losing zoo
points. which. however. under the condi-
tons (as actually took place. could not
be considered as an actual loss.
In another recently played hand some
faulty bidding caused a situation TO arise
whereby the declarer OF a no trump was
about TO be set for three tricks. when one
OF the adverse ies doubled. and the double
was taken out by four clubs. Here is the
hand:

ried the singer was everything. Little
attention was paid TO the scenery, TO the
chorus, to the orchestra. TO the perform
ance as a work OF art. in those days the
public paid to hear the singers; more and
more it is coming to pay to hear the opera
itself, and ii would not stand to-day the
slovenly performances only too prevalent
fifteen years ago. Signor Toscanini has
been largely responsible for this improve
ment, and the public has been eager TO
follow and appreciate.
THE acting. too. is to-day, on the whole,
far better than it was in the past. though
no one has ever. TO me. equalled in this
respect Victor Maurel. 1t was Maurel
who showed New York the necessity for
good acting His Falstaff, his Rigoletto,
his Iago, his Don Giovanni were supreme
and it will be long, long time before
they are. equalled. The operate stage
owes a debt OF the deepest gratitude TO
Victor Maurel."
Whereupon Signor Scott became a boy
again and took a step or two of the
tango.
THE tango, or rather the Brazilian
make, I love-" he said. Il am always
dancing the new dances. 1t keeps me
thin. Besides / can find nothing indecent
in them If they are danced as they should
be danced. The waltz can be made indie
cent, the mazurka can be made indecent;
it all depends upon the dancer. OF
course. tango music IS not as beautiful
or as graceful as that OF the waltz. but 1t
Is music which expresses the spirit of the
times. The tango is democratic. and de-
mocrscy does not make for the highest
in art. The people may be given univer-
sal suffrage said Mr.. Gatti-Casazza the
other day. but don't let US give them the
artistic suffrage
only the worst Of il Is the people now
adays take what they WISH and they wish
the tango. Therefore viva the tango,
Viva until democracy chooses its next
toy!

years. who has been on the stage for
twenty-four and who is as young and as
gracious and as interested as the young

the Metropolitan Opera House be when
sgnor Scott has departed? Where will
1t find another Scarpia, another 1ago,
another Malatesta, another Falstaff?
Where will II find another Beau Brummel

the evenings when he does not sing,
