MUSIC

The Ropartz symphony in C major,
which will be played tonight by the Bos-
ton Symphony Orchestra, was first played
in this country by that organization at
one OF its regular concerts in Boston. 1t
was later played in New York, 1t would
seem that the Boston audience heard it
with reserved qualification; It is plain that
the New York critics heard 1t without
any great degree of pleasure. In the
orchestral score the critic OF the Boston
Transcript found the influence of Cesar
Franek In Imagination, with the added
resources and technical devices OF later
French music The symphony is played
without stop. but II Is not overlong. Its
complexities are not great enough 10 de-
lnand solutions in advance. but the COM
poser himself Is 30 little known that
few things may be said OF him without
prejudice TO the freshness OF tonight's
performance.
Philip Greeley clapp. writing in the
Boston Transcript, sketches the life OF
Cns Ropartz thus; He was born In Brit
tany In 1854, studied at various Catholic
Institutions and at the law school of
Rennes. He then entered the Paris Con-
oarxAtory as a pupil OF Dubois and Mas
eenet. but left there to study with Cesar
frenek. Since 1894 he has been director
OF the Conservatory OF Nancy. He Is said

SEASHORE.

II WENT to the little gray, crescent
sand beach at evening. when the
sky was family flushed with rose. A
quiet lay upon earth and air, as though
from the aftertouch of holy presence.
for the scene before me had the sweet
look of a child at night, when, its
mothers kiss remembered, it glides
into slumber.
There was only enough energy left in
the shore waters to send a soft thud
of motion upon the beach, where the
low waves fell sleepily. The sound was
a delicious lullaby to the senses, to the
spirit even. for it carried one not into
sleep. but just over the border of that
dream world where beauty reigns.
l moved in thought as one newly en-
tered into this world, drawn on by the
Turing voice of the low wave line be-
side me; and 1 sat down upon a dark,
smooth rock near the gentle wave
voice. and gradually l became aware
of the finer loveliness of things.
In the gray, moist sand at my feet
l noticed pure white shell, lined with
palest tint of rose. 1t was tucked half
in the sands, as a comb of coral might
be In the coils of a woman's hair. The
very manner of its lying spoke of
beauty. as though some hand had re-
but infinite design. This ornament of
pure rose and white and of exquisite
oval contour reposed half in the shin
ing sea sand delicately, yet so firmly
that l felt convinced no night tides
even could dislodge it,
But there was only sNvery mild even
ing now, and the scene was perfect.
Above. in the faint flushed sky, the
pale half moon also appeared. 1t, too.
like the shell. was half hidden. tucked
into n
and it. too, seemed to have been just
placed by the same recent eternal
touch.
I thought of an inland garden, where
on the grass a flushed rose petal had
fallen from the rose, and lay. curved
upward, SO lightly as though a breath
had lately blown 1t.
Shell. half-moon, petal, three lovely
creations Of delicate color and contour,
holding such posture as the infinite
hand in passing had given them

Politics..

nov. WHITMAN of New York said in
W an address in Albany:
Politics may perhaps be rotten. but
they are certainly not as rotten as the
average reformer believes. ,-
The average reformer thinks that
our American politics are like the
politics of Turkey. A traveller. you
know, said to Turkish official:
"'And in this country. as in ours, do
political officeholders retire at a GER
tain age with a life pension?
Hardly" the Turk answered. "Our
political officeholders are sufficiently in
telligent, after a few years of Office, to
stand in no need Of pensions on their
retirement"

added. with a sly twinkle in his eye.
The strong pro-German sympathes re-
Gently shown by the action of King
Constantine, his son. is believed to be
due to the influence of Queen Sophia,
who, most naturally, warmly espouses
the German cause. being herself the
sister of the kaiser.
Not many years ago King Constan-
tine. then only Crown Prince of
Greece, became so unpopular with his
fathers people that he was. to all in
tents and purposes. banished from
Athens. Later his soldierly qualities
regained for him the affection of the
populace. The Balkan kingdoms are
notorious for their constant bloodshed,
and in Athens fears are frankly ex-
pressed that King Constantine may
meet the fate of his unfortunate father.
