 Madame Alda's benefit at the Metro politan opera on Monday evening, June 10, will go down in my memory as the greatest musical gathering that I have ever witnessed. Take the names of Harold Bauer, Mischa Elman, Mabel Garrison, Sophie Braslau, Claudio Nfu- zio, Sparkes. Egener Mattheld, Jose Mardones. Amato, Scotti, de, SeguoroIa, Paul Althouse, Bada, Audosie, and the eminent conductors, Roberto Moran zoni, Pierre Monteux. Gennaro Papi, Gfulio Setti-not to speak of Ethel Bar rymore, whose recitation, 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic" with a tab- leau of sailors grouped on a ship with Red Cross nurses and officers and others forming ''The Ship of Liberty" a mar vicious naval picture--was alone worth the price of admission.

Somebody near me said: "Caruso comes next on the programme. he'll never have more encores than Nor atore." But--well-of course he did: IS times after the 'rRdo'' from s.Pagliaccts was this golden-throated singer called before the foothghts and finally, arnid beating and humping and widest en- thusiasm he sang the Maria Mari" which only a few days before I had seen among a group of songs on his piano in his apartment at the Knicker- booker, when he granted me an au- dence.
 Madame Aldas beautiful voice in tho "Butterfly'' duet with MT. MartinelH was never heard to greater advantage and when two little sailor boys stepped out on the stage and presented her with a superb floral design from the boys of the navy, the house fairly went wild with excitement.
 And then there was an interim and Burr Mcintosh appeared and said he had three minutes to auction off an au- tographed copy of the programme-every artist taking part having signed him. self, "Your truly"

With the weather so hot that your | marcelle wave looked like shoestring and your brain fairly stuck to your era nium. We jumped into the Subway" one Sunday afternoon during our visit to New York bound for the Polo grounds to witness the great Thrift Stamp Fes- uVaP' which was to be given that aft ernoon. There were exactly 4e.99S (we two made the 5o,ooo) people bound in the same direction, and since I've been cre- ated I've never seen such a mob, felt such heat Everybody under the sun was there, everybody who was anybody or nobody, betwixt and between, and my emotions were ragout of patriotism, recrudescent conscience, ennus and ha- tired for the scorching hot weather, as we were ushered into our box, with pa- triotism predominating.
 I've never been a cat or lady bug or even a protoplasm. I've always been just plain, every day, commonplace woman, who tried to live up to the re- quirements that make up the rotary mo- tions and diurnal existence of the aver age woman, but that day I wanted to be anything except a woman-I wanted to be mana soldier-to fight for my country, to go in the trenches and kill the Huns, the spirit of patriotism was so infused into my veins that I actu- ally forget everything and everybody in the cheering of that vast crowd-the splendid spirit of those 50,000 people who, when the veteran March King Lieut.. John Philip Sousa, held his baton over the 10000 in the chorus and 25o in the band and the "Star-Spangled Banner" was sung, fairly made the heavens ring with the glorious melody.
 One large, placid, monotonous-looking women near me, who looked like all the hardshell Baptist ministers wives rolled into one-mopped her perspiry brow as she sang for dear life, and I thought to myself, if singing could defeat the Kaiser, the Stars and Stripes would be flying over Potsdam right this very minute. Oh, the glory of it all!
 Many of our favorites were there standing in the blazing, scorching June sun--lending their God-given talents to tho splendid cause. Madame Aida, Mad anne Sundelus, Oscar Seagle, Sophie Braslau, Charles Harrison, and they sang the marvelously beautiful Elijah music sung 1t as I've never heard 1t sung be- fore. Between the first and second parts of the oratorio, Rothier sang the Mar sellaise,'' and his stirring, ringing voice thrown out to the four ends of the earth in the open of Gods beautiful sky, reused that vast audience to an enthu- siasm which was simply superb.
 Fifty thousand stamp books were sold, which means more than $150,000 to the government when filled, and the war saw ings committee of New York had this glorious achievement to it's credit-on that torrid, beating, shmmering June day--when the famous band leader, stun- ning and gallant in his uniform of the United States naval reserve force, ended the programme with his Stars and Stripes Forever

canadian dominion and in its progress so
FAR, enjoying fun liberty OF language and
laws, without any grievance as to mis-
government such as Ireland has, or such
as 'Boerland' might be expected to eX-
hibit, she remains today absolutely cold
and untouched by the seriousness of the
struggle now being waged, by the ideals
for which it is being waged, or by the
menace to these ideals which German
militarism implies.
Various reasons are assigned for this
attitude of Quebec-racial, religious, so
cial and the like. but none of them seems
adequate. To the writer's mind. one Of
the most potent causes of Quebec's att1-
tude toward the war is the displacing Of
Laurier in the Canadian premiership six
years ago, and the loss Of the privileged
position she had enjoyed Tor the Is years
during which he had guided the destinies
of the Canadian commonwealth. Unlikely,
again. for many a year, to see another Of
her sons in this outstanding position, real
izing that the destiny of the dominion Is
to be English in speech and development,
rejecting bitterly on vanished greatness
and aims now manifestly impossible, she
has magniied molehiFs into mountains
and refuses to form one among the noble
band of hmperialists and cc'onists who are
today winning the admiration of the
world by their exertions in the cause Of
freedom.
