statistics are in order in these days
and YET 1t is doubtful II there has been
a sufnclently strict record kept of the
amount OF money that has been paid
OUT merely IN subscribing for tickets
aiohe since the season began.
But the quotation. Liberty, what
crimes are committed in thy name"
can, alas be changed so as to refer
to charity. For there are few OF these
Charitable entertainments that have
rot. as it were, a string attached to
them, and many things are gained
besides the money for which the en-
'ertainment is given. 1t Is nos new
secret that to be a p%atroness Of any
fashionable entertainment liz an excel
lent advertisement for the social aspi-

To be sure. there Is the danger OF
materially charging the visiting list
without any especial advantage but
taxing It all in all the good out
weigh the evil. The many rehear-
ais provide no end or amusement
While the entertainment Itself 1ur-
! n'shes a grand m FOR any popu-
lar young woman or young man.
Even children of tender age appear at
the entertainments, at which the
proud parents urn out In full force.
And ofttimes the acquaintance begun
through the children leads to the most
desirable results in the way OF friend
ships that are we'll worth while
Incidentally a lot OF money II Sc
cured FOR charity that can be made
In this way and in no other.
