With what he says was quite unnecessary
violence he was half pulled. half dragged
down the long corridor and through the
foyer. One of his assailants followed
Mr. Mecchi to the last Of the
series of three doors through which the
surprised opera goer was catapulted
There. with what the young man says felt
distinctly like a vigorous kick, he was
thrust out of the opera house with a force

SO without reason, the emotional young

offered Mecchi a steadying hand. From
across the street policeman came run

But this argument failed to convince.
And then, 80 Mr.. Mecch declares, he was
again seized by the lapels OF his coat.
The Washington times., 1920-06-20

Suddenly above the buzz of conversation
and the medley of musical noises made by
the orchestra as they tuned their instru.
ments he heard the sound of a door open
ing behind him. Turning his head slightly
he saw two magnifcently gowned women
entering the box in which he sat. The
taller Of them was very slender. Her
gown was of glistening black satin. She
wore a tiara of diamonds and about her
neck was wonderful dog collar Of the
same glttering gems
This imposing creature took step to-
ward Mr.. Meccbi as though to greet him;
then, with a dubious look at the young
man, she turned questioningly toward the
waiting usher Again the usher touched
Mr.. Mecchi on the shoulder:
Would you mind yielding the front
seats to the ladies OF the party?' he asked.
Certainly not" The young man rose,
bowed low with all the grace for which
his nation is famous, and retreated to the
rear of the box.
The overture began. Young Mr. Meccbi
closed his eyes and gave himself up to
enjoyment of the concourse of sweet
sounds.
Again he felt the now familiar tap Of a
hand on his shoulder
will you please step outside a mo-
ment?" the usher requested. Edgardo
Mecchi wonderingly obeyed Outside the
box he faced the usher who had been so
attentive to him all the evening, and, also,
another man in evening clothes
Let us see your seat oh eek"
Good heavens, gentlemen, why am
annoyed all the time in this way?'
For answer, according 10 Mr. Mecchi,
