CARRICO'S INQUIRY.

The inquiry of CHARLES
CARRICO is discussed by the con.
tribs In varying manner. Some
answer seriously, while the fun
makers and fun-lovers seem to
think that it is merely inviting dis
cussion.
C. A. sUALTY and SAM
SIMPLE" want to poke fun at
CARRICO. while FRED VETTER
and MARIE S. answer him serious
ly. Vetter thinks that the impress
sions impaired by way of the ear
are the most lasting, remaining
after the memory Of a great picture
has become erased from the mind.
Sculpture appeals to the select
only. There is something chilly and
forbidding about this stern art"
Marie s. says that music by a
master will stir a person more than
a painting or sculpture. AS proof,
she mentions the fact that a person
always remembers and sings the
tune which has been most stirring.
Sam Simple" would rather make
people smile than weep. Nature,
as he sees 1t, is far more beautiful
than the picture of 1t. To Sam the
sir ging of birds or the laughter Of
chidren is more musical than any
classical composition. He fears that
much Of the hysteria over sculp-
ture, music and paintings Is merely
being fashionable"

A DUCK SOUP RECIPE.

After all. there seems to be
recipe for duck soup. A. d. M. says
there Is q young man In his office
who claims to know how to make
duck soup. but at present refuses to
surrender the recipe. The office
force has dedicated this poem to him:
THE DUCK SOUP KING.
The boy stood on the burning deck,
Eating duck soup by the peck,
Along came Smithy, lean and tall,
The Duck Soup King from old st.
Paul.
The boy. although hungry. weak and
Could not go the duck soup by the
King Smithy jumped on the burning
And seized the poor boy by the neck.
'T'll show you the method" he was
heard to say,
As the boy, half starved, on the burn.
ing deck lay.
With the pail In one hand and his
hat as q fan,
He inhaled the duck soup like no
other man.
The noise was heard far and wide
And soon the fireboat was up beside.
The boat was saved and all credit Ii
given right
To the Duck Soup King who has
just come to light.

The program opened with the
powerful Egmont overture of Beet
hoven, which. as Mr.. Damrosch ex.
planned, was instrumental In leading
Wagner to take up the study OF
music. The most beautiful portion
Of the program was the little known
Kalinnikow Symphony in @ Minor.
This work revealed a Schubertian
loneliness Of melody, especially in the
enchanting second movement, an idyl
of sustained beauty. The final move
ment brought summing up Of themes

Les Preludes," Of List, to be given
this afternoon in the National
Theater, was replaced by two numbers
from Delibes' Coppelia. The program
closed with two quaint folk songs
Of the British isles. arranged for or

Publication of the sentiments IN
