years ago were removed and the old farm

The old Syrian sarcophagus in front of the
National Museum Building is especially inter-
esting, because it was brought to America from
Beirut, in 1889, by Commodore j. D. Elliott and
offered to President Jackson as his last rest
ing place, but "Old Hickory" declined the in
vitation, preferring to be buried more in keep
ing with an American citizen
In addition to these there were private burial
places in the city proper, several early ones in
Georgetown and number in Anacostia and in
other outlying sections. Indeed, one would
wonder what We needed with so many grave
yards in We olden days.

old world of contemplation Undisturbed by all
the hurry and clash of modern civilization,
they have gone If today meant forever.
Carvings in marble, fabulous in intricate de-
sign and executc.l. constitute the Temple of
Heaven in the Forbidden City. The majesty OF
an eternally contemplating Buddha, rising to
a gigantic height that causes men to appear as
pygmies, arouses profound impressions At
every turn objects of astounding beauty pro-
claim deep thought and the sincerity of those
achieving them.
But China has another type of artist. He
paints portraits of people whom he has never
seen and of whom he has no photographs.
With many Chinese there is a superstition that
to pose before a camera means the loss of part
of their souls.
The particular artist that visited had books
of sketches in his studio. One was filled with
drawings of eyes; another devoted to noses;
another to mouths and When clients
arrived to give an order, they were handed each
book in turn. They selected eyes, nose mouth
and even the shape of face, exactly like the
absent one. Then the artist went to work.
Did he please? OF course he did Also,
he got his money for the portrait, which al

lete arts? These are the predictions
of the famous composer of "Cavaller1a
Rusticana," Pietro Mascagni made in a recent
interview.
Mascagni was famous before he became our
family friend in Milan. In our intimate home
circle found him to be a man of ideas and
high ideals In public, when called upon to
speak, he proved himself brilliant orator. In
predicting the doom of opera I feel assured
that no mere within mood prompted him, but
solid reasoning.
He is reported to have said: II have laid
down my pen, and before compose the ff-
teenth opera 1 shall send out dove from my
tomb to see whether the flood of jazz and
technical marvels has subsidized, and then wait
until the herald of peace brings me an olive
branch"
Touching upon the immense change follow
ing the World War and the centcring Of peo-
pies interest on novelty and lightness, he goes
on to say 1.-The public no longer cares for
opera, because opera is pleasure of the mind,
while every one today makes an effort to drown
the mind and seek excitement What the public
wishes is new form of music which will ex-
press new tendencies and new desires of life.
The question is whether opera do this"
"Jazz,' he adds i'm conclusion, mot only has
corrupted the public taste but also the COM
posers, who have found easier and more
lucrative form of composition
There is SO much truth In the foregoing that
I might be tempted rashly to say: "Mascagni is
right" If we look into our world today, its
tastes its way of doing things, we find good
deal to arouse that pessimism which he feels.

THE beautiful will live forever. Unless it is
exactly that in the best sense. it will be
Snuffed out completely by the taste of
ceedng generations. The man who writes ugly
books with a purpose, to show how disgusting
such things are, may make name for himself
as realiSt. But composer who starts out
to be ugly with other motive than to be
thought novel and completely modern wastes
his time.
Opera is not pure form of music. That
is one reason for any uncertainty that may
overtake it, It has not the pure, classic line
of the Greek frieze, such as Bach Beethoven
and Brahms so magnificently illustrate in their
music.
Opera has to deal with human passions and
everyday problems. A majority of the best
opera composers took poor librettos because
they did not wish to be cramped in following
another's talent. That very fact being bound
down more less by a libretto. irrespective OF
its merit has turned the giant composers from
writing in that form. They were too good
for it.

they expected an encore. At any rate
there's no denying that Ruth Roland,
who once made thrillers in serial form,
is one of the most popular members of
the motion picture profession.
She invested in real estate at a time
when all her friends and acquaintance
made merry at her expense and jested
about her preference for sand lots.
Those sand lots turned out to be choice
properties. Ruth Roland is now retired,
with several millions to her credit. She
has invested carefully and is still young
enough looking to belle her years before
the cameras.
