1t isn't like buying cigars When
you buy two opera tickets tor five
you get The same music that Yea get
IL you pay ten straight. They dom
throw in a few discords and sour
notes for the benefit of the cheap
seats.
When a person comes TO this town
as | did with a Michigan bank roll,
which consists of a live wrapper
and a dead filler, he has TO find out
those things for himself. Nobody
can slip him any advice. Advice Is
drug on the market and nobody
pays any attention to 1t because It Is
free.

No Balcony the Euic.
Back home when We have a show
in the opry house everybody has to
sit in the best seats. If they don't
they are talked about and 1t hurts
business. II Mr.. and Mrs. Jones go In
the balcony for John Drew or Maude
Adams or the McGibeny Bell Ring
ers people begin to wonder what's
the matter. They think Mr.. Jones
business must be dropping off and
they 20 somewhere ise to buy their
calico and baby ribbon. Back home
It is almost a disgrace to be caught

show.
When same voiceless tenor gives
a concert IN Kalamazoo there is
such a rush for the best seats that
half of the polite society of the town
walks lame from barked shins for
the next fortnight. When a society
dame can't connect with one of the
lysst seats, she calls in the family
doctor and has the evening paper an
pounce that she is suffering an at
tack of her old malady. whatever
that may be. so she is laid up on the
night of the concert.
In New York you can be Just as
cheap as you wish, and probably you
will have to be pretty cheap to be as
cheap as the man in the seat right
next to you. When you finally make
up your mind that You are not 60
ing to be anybody here, anyhow, nc
matter how much you spend, and
that you might as well get by on the
minimum. the problem is solved.
The man who makes the grievout
mistake here is the one who culti-

spend $4,000 iron men here every
year there will be lot of folks who
are spending 100000. A spender II

in the world who can spend mor'
than he can. On the Gether hand
there is certain satisfaction in be
ing cheap. and 1t isn't all embarras
sing; for, no matter how cheap -yo,
are, there is always someone who 1
little bit cheaper than you are.
