It's almost a pleasure to wash a

If you are superstitious about

You realize the advantages offered

+ba most complete operatic or

theatre. When the operetta
-,,os presented for its first perform
anca in New York, the critics com
nanted that operas less grand than
th;e oneretta had been sung fire.
o,IentIv at the Metropolitan Opera
go,,se And so the decidedly op-
cratic character of this popular
oneretta made necessary an elab-
crate organization. Three stage
managers handle the production
and each stage manager has as
MANY assistants. A stage crew as
complete as that stationed in a
Naw York theatre travels with the
company. All of the lighting,
is portable and carried.
The student chorus has its own
chorus master just as a grand
opera organization does The
vo,1ng women of the chorus are
also in the charge of special Of
fcials of their own sex. Most of
the large chorus are music stu
dents from the studios of New
York's leading teachers. Coaches
and teachers travel with the com
pany and in spare hours conduct
for the students a practical con
of music. And in all
other respects the"Student Prince"
is an elaborate and
complete organization in itself.

INTERESTING SKETCHES

Little rich girls, it seeems, must
consult doctors and dentists quite
frequently since in Brenda Diana's
schedule, there is an allowance of
$4,000 for dental work and S2,250
for doctors and medical supplies.
Dancing and skating lessons are to
cost her $3.50, and there is a $6,750
item for upkeep of automobiles to-
gether with insurance and deprecia-
ton. This is part of the budget
of a wealthy girl who probably
has no idea of what 100000 a year
means.
1t was amusing to those specta-
tors who gathered on Fifth avenue
But to the magnificent lady in the
limousine it was stark tragedy.
Bouncing about as if the seat were
hot, with horror on her patrician
face and her mouth open though no
sound came from it, she was pic
ture of terror Finally the chauf-
feur, sensing something wrong,
looked back, Ieaped down - and
killed the cause of all the trouble.
1t was a wasp. Home, JONES'" said
the lady in a tremulous voice. and
the limousine sped away.
Times Square has its first side
walk cafe. It's right at Forty-sec-
ond street and Broadway, the so
called Crossroads of the world"
Enclosed in a box hedge and gay
with colored awnings, it extends so
ing that occupies the site of Con-
sidine's Metropole bar, famous in
the early part of the century. Side
walk cafes are now so numerous
that it seems a large majority of
the population of New York enjoys
dining in the open.
Day after day, gray-haired,
well-dressed man sits on a bench
up on Riverside drive. To those
who occupy the seat with him, he
talks about the virtues of pea
nuts, holding that as they contain
all the elements necessary for sus-
tanning life, he lives on no other
diet. Observers say he comes out
to Riverside park early in the morn
ing and sits on the bench until long
after midnight. Then he goes down
into the park and disappears. Yet
his clothing is always neatly
pressed and his linen clean. Just
one of the minor mysteries of the
great city.
