Against the Rules to Tread on

them remain indefinitely. They told
him with regrets, though. that they

primer recently issued by the National

'Novibazar lies thirty miles north
east OF Mitrovitza, the northern ter
mnal of the railroad from the Greek

down the valley of the Morava to
Rashka, thirty miles north. where it
follows up the course of 4 small tribu-

Grand Opera in Prospect.

The prospects are excellent for a short
season of grand opera h Washington in
December by the combAnsd Boston Grand
Opera Company and Pavlowa Ballet
Russo. The Washington grand opera
committee. organized this week by Charles
J. Bell, II. S. Reside, Mrs. Christian
Hemmick, Mrs. George Barnett and
other prominent patrons os music and art,
has been working steadily. and 1t is an
nounced that more than half the neces-
sary financial assurance necessary to
bring the company here has been ar
ranged for. the idea of opera for Wash
ington not only this year but annually
hereafter meeting with enthusiastic re-
the rate at which that encouragement is
coming in, 1t is expected that within
couple of days the grand opera commit
tee will be able definitely to announce
that the Boston company and the Paw
Iowa forces will appear here in conjunc-
ton in December in what is declared 10
be the best opera that has been seen en-
tour in the United States since the days
of Maurice Grau.
Douglas Malloch, personal represent

rector of the Boston company. returned
to Washington today and announced that
an option on the Belasco Theater had been

here for opera, that the final arrange
ments could be made in a few days. and
that probably before the week is over the
grand opera committee would be able to
give the word that would make opera
here in December a. fact. He declared
that the Boston company is duplicating at
Boston the artistic success it scored at
the Manhattan Opera House in New York
and the Metropolitan Opera House in
Philadelphia
Meanwhile the project to have the Bos-
ton company divide ten weeks of its time
in future seasons among Boston, Phila-
delpha. Baltimore and Washington is NOV
ing forward in the other cities concerned.
Baltimore already has arranged for its
1915 season by the Boston company as
the forerunner of next year. Boston and
Philadelphia would. of course. consume the
major share of the ten weeks, but Balti-
more and Washington also. for shorter
time. would have the same opera as that
presented at the Boston Opera House and

dick did not come home last night,
neither did he show~up at the office
yesterday. This afternoon Mr.. Sci
wins secretary called up, asked if he
were home and said ''Mr. Selwin was
anxious to see him." 1 did not know
what to say to him, as did not want
to tell him that Dick had not been
home. So like any other woman
would lied gibIy: ''Mr. WaVerly had
to go out of town this morning on
some business of his mothers .
All right, when he return will you
tell him to call up Mr.. SelWin either
at the Office or. at his house"
This was about O'Clock in the af-
ternOon and / began to get very ner-
vous. AS Z O'Clock l called up Mol
lie and asked her if Dick had been
over there today. She told me NO
and asked: "Is anything the matter,
Margie?"
~: Nothing, dear, only wondered if
Dick and his mother had settled on
anything yet"
I do wish some one would hurry up
and fix things up. I am going crazy
with anxiety. One minute mother in
sists she will never move from the old
house and the next she wants to get
out as soon as possible"
well, 1 guess, dear, that he win be
over very soon" 1 rang off for fear
MoIlie would ask some more ques-
lions about Dick.
For hours l experienced again the
anger and terror that comes to all
waiting wives. .....
For a time l would grow hot at
the thought of Dick entirely forget
ting me. The next minute would
say to myself that something must
have happened to him-that he GER
tafnly could not be so neglectful of
me. as to stay out for Sc hours with
out even telephone message. Then
