RIGHT WORD" OFTEN
HARD TO CHOOSE
Study Of Dictionary is a Profitable Habit
for Business Men


Inability to choose the right word
often place a speaker in an embarrass-
ing position. Many business men lose
much valuable time because they find
it difficult to express what they want
to say when they dictate their cores
pondence. Greater freedom and ac-
curacy in speaking and writing can be
acquired by studying dictionary. A
few minutes devoted to the study OF
words and their meaning each day will
in short time result in great benefit
to anyone who will pas that practice
TO test
The New Universities Dictionary
being offered to readers Of this paper
is particularly adapted to aid those
who wish to acquire greater familiarity
with the English language. It CON
tains all the new words which have
come into common and proper use in
recent years. It's definitions are sim
Pile and accurate, making 1t possible to
choose words that will best serve the
purpose of correct speaking and writ
ing. Many Of the new words that
have been brought into use through
such specialized activities as war, ayi-
alton. golf, baseball and other fUrms
of sports have been conveniently clas
sified in supplementary dictionaries.

tinued and increased in the season just
concluded.
Artistic Achievements and Novelties
We can well believe that the season
Of 1867 was financially more sue
cessful than any of its predecessors
under the management Of the present
company. But it was not greater in
artistic achievement. In this respect
it fell short of 1914-15-the first year
Of the war. Then there were ISL per-
formances in New York City, against
149 this season. The attempt made
this year to freshen the repertory was
energetic and commendable; but even
in this regard the season was not quite
the equal of 1924. In that season
FIVE absolutely new operas were brought
forward. There were six works in this
seasons repertory which had not been
heard before at the Metropolitan Opera
House under Mr.. Gatti's management;
but of the six only four were new to
the local public. The real novelties
were "Les Pechsurs de Perles," "Iphi-
genia suf Tauris," Francesca da
Rimini" and "The Canterbury Pill
grims." "ThaTs," though new to the
Metropolitan repertory, had been heard
in an earlier time at the Manhattan
Opera House, while "Lakme" had been
performed at the Metropolitan by Nine.
Patti in a special season in April,
1890. and afterward formed a feature
Of the regular seasons of 1912 and
l906-'07. II also had one performance
at the Manhattan Opera House in
March, 1910. Miss Hempels predeces-
sors in the titular role were Nine.
Patti, Miss Van Zandt. Nine. Sembrich
and Nine. Tetrazzini. Bizet's "Pecheurs
de Perles" must be set down as having
made a complete fasco. II was per-
formed three times between the open
ing night and December IS. but never
again, although Miss Hempel, the hero
inc Of the play, remained with the com
pany until February. ~. Gluck's
