Dark Nightingale
BY Walter Byron Stehi

Why does the nightingale sing in

And not as the lark in the day?
Why does the evening star shine
in the night
And not as the suns bright ray?
And my heart, pondering this,
Said, 'Tis not only in bliss
That I need songs and lights of
tomorrow
But with joys that I miss
When the swift fleeting kiss
Of happiness changes to sorrow.

LONDON, April 2-Last year trav-
elers in Europe talked only about the
Coronation or the Paris Exposition.
The year before every one was intent
on seeing the Olympic Games. This
year there is no outstanding event to
throw all other attractions into the
shadow. but everything that a tour
ist can wish to see, he can see this
year.
The famous Saltzburg Festival in
Austria will welcome thousands of Wis
itors from July % until August 81.
The same country will also have
Bruckner Festivals from July to the
18th. Germany will open the Wagner
Bayreuth Festival on July "a and con-
tinue 1t until August 10, celebrating
the l25th year since Wagner's birth.
The Munich Festival season opening
the same day will continue until Sep
tember 7. The National Welsh Els
teddfod will be held this year at Car
diff during the first week of August.
The Scottish Summer School of Music
and Country Dancing will be held at
st. Andrews August to II.
Sweden will again have its medieval
musical plays during August in the
ruined churches at Visby on the Island
of Gotland.
Those fortunate enough to be start
ing their European holidays immedi-
ately will certainly begin their tour in
Rome so as to hear the grand and
glorious Easter music in the churches
there on April IT, passing on to Flor
ence on the 28th to hear something of
the Grand Musical Festival which
opens there on that date and con-
tinues until June 10. The grand opera
season in London opens in April and
here may be heard the greatest sing
ers of the world.
The principal religious event of the
summer is the 34th International Eu-
charistic Congress, which opens at
Budapest in Hungary on May %.

The Tourist Commission has set up
minimum bill system in its stead.
Also doomed by the decree is the sly
practice of varying prices for food and
