Lower Grand Opera Prices.

Much interest has been awakened in
the musical field by the announcement
that the Roston Grand Opera Company,
one of the three foremost operatic or
ganizations in the United States, will
reduce its prices from the long estab-
lished f1ve-dollar scale to a three-dollar
scale. At time when prices of every
description are soaring as never be-
fore. the step taken by Max Rabinoff's
company Is particularly notable, espe-
cially since with 1t goes the assurance
that the same standard Of operatic per-
nance for which this company has
been distinguished will be maintained
In all respects this season. The ex-
p!anation for the reduction is given
that the actual cost of producing grand

In the building Of this threefold en-

Mr.. Brown has been associated with

At the beginning Of the war 1t was
thought by American art museums.
collectors and dealers that the oppor-
tunity to acquire important works Of
art In foreign countries would be
greatly increased during the period of
hostilities. Oddly enough. quite the
contrary has been the fact. Not only
have works Of art of special impor-
tance not been offered for sale. but in
prices have been high and they have
for the most part been purchased by
foreign buyers. The reason for this
is twofold. First. in all probability
the war tax on such sales would have
been enormous and. in the second
place. millionaires have been made by
the war abroad as we'll as in America,

more so when, about nine o'clock that
night, Ybarra bolted into my bungalow,
quite unceremoniously for him. In the
lamplight, as he faced me over my desk,
he seemed to have aged. He didn't ex-
plain anything. He abruptly wanted to
know if he could get himself rowed out
to the Algonquin. 1t was a strange re-
quest to make at that hour. He went on
to say that it was extremely important.

was in such a stew about it that | started
out with him to see what could be done.

reappeared, and consented to take us back
with him. 1t was trim and speedy little
craft, with quick, throaty putt-putt,'
that shot us out into the night and
brought up under the accommodation
ladder of the Algonquin in less than no
time.

Ybarra.

muttered almost under his breath, and as
we mounted the accommodation ladder

visibly.

"Ybarra, however, overbore him inn
patiently He was very pale, his fingers
clutching at the hat in his hands, while
stood watching him, completely stupefied,
with not the faintest idea that what he
was rattling off to Professor Ambrose was
in reality his plea, his desperate appeal,
to the silent, cold-faced girl aloof by the
rail.

replied Jacobson. "Twilight had taken
them quite unawares, SO that the whole

Rutledge was fidgety to get back to their

was tumble of hasty farewells, and invi-

the vessel, during all of which, noticed,
Eleanor Rutledge didn't speak word.
She stood little apart from the others,
stunned, inarticulate, regarding Ybarra
with cold, impenetrable gaze.
"But she did speak finally. AS the
party moved down the steps, she turned
and said Good night-.Senor Ybarra.'

words as she flung the name at him-so
fine that it quite escaped every one but
him.
