The dress Of girls is blamed for a

DR.. Clara Seippel, city physician. In
a speech at the First Congregational
church in Evanston last night she
gave vent to her feelings.
"The clothes worn today by girls
of IA, Is, and 16 are positively i'm
modest" said DR.. Seippel. $50 much
from the opposite sex. Made of
transparent materials, cut excessively
low and slit high, their skirts invite
attention of the least desirable sort.
Even highly respectable parents
permit their daughters to use rouge
and paint and pencils-to disguise
themselves behind worldly masks and
to cheat themselves out of their
precious girlhOOd.

LUCIA DI LAMMERMOOR."
Delightful Opera Admirably Pre-
sentcd Mt Belasco Last Might.

The San Carlo Grand Opera Company
gave Lucia d Lammermoor" the
second Offering of their brief season in
this city last night at the Belasco. To
hear DoniZetti's delightful opera is a de-
liShtful experience. Edvige Vaccari, who
sang Lucia last night, was fine as the
hapless heroine. She has a pleasing So
prano. and delivers the difficult runs and
breezy staccati OF the music with ability.
Her acting. too. particularly in the mad
scene was most appealing.
Were dramatic cOngruity of moment in
connection with operate libretto. the alb
surdties of this Italianized version of
Sir Walter SCOTS tragic tale THE Bride
of I-ammermoor." would be obvious The
present-day demand for reali in the
drama, however. has not invaded the field
of opera. and musical value is placed be
fore realism. 1t therefore does not ap-
pear absurd that the distraught lady i'm
mediately on numbering her husband
should engage in a colora tura contest
with the flute in the orchestra and come
out victorious. Happily. Donizetti pro-
vided a score so exquisitely melodious
that three-quarters of a century has not
stalled the operas well-nigh universal
appeal.
