Notes
Gounod's Faust
With Met Stars
Tuesday Night
By Alice Eversman.

The presentation of Gounod S
Faust on Tuesday night as part of
the Dorsey concert series will bring
another of those delightful opera
performances which have proven to
be adaptable to Constitution Hall.
Charles L. Wagner, the New York
manager, has made feature OF or
ganizing casts taken from the stellar
contingent of the Metropolitan
Opera and giving the type of opera
that can be we'll presented in audi
forums not of the theater kind.
Two unforgettable performances of
THE Barber of Seville" and Don
Pasquale" have been given under
Mrs. Dorsey's sponsorship in past
seasons and that of Tuesday prom
ises to equal them, with Armand
Tokatyan in the name part, Hilda
Burke as Marguerite and Nicola
Moscona as Mephistopheles.
Operas that require neither a
large cast or elaborate scenery can
be given in most enjoyable form on
the small stage of Constitution Hall
Desire Defrere. who is the stage
manager of the company, and
Giuseppe Bamboschek who will
direct the 4O-piece orchestra, have
made a study of the problems of
these semi-concert presentations,
and, in the past have been able to
preserve the traditions and adjust
the setting and the size of the sup
porting cast, which Tuesday will
number more than score of young
American singers. to the environ
ment. In the former performances
nothing was sacrificed either in the
length of the work. the elegance of
the scenic properties or the artistry
of the Interpretation.
The short lived effort of the Co.
lumbia Opera Co. of New York to
bring opera for eight Saturday per-
formances to Constitution Hall was
the result of lack of vision. The diff
ficulties of giving opera on any large
scale at our principal auditorium
can be solved successfully only by
spending great deal of thought
and money, The public of the
Nations Capital should not be asked
to patronize anything but the best,
and Mr.. Wagner has been wise
enough to plan for that both in his
choice of opera to be given and the
standing of the artists performing it.
The tours of operate groups which
he has managed have received
Nation wide acclaim.

kingdoms, yes, and even happi-
ress itself, as well as family and
country and friends, Karen had
never thought about it-or even
awakened to such outside forces,
either. She took her love for grant
ed. lust as she took her perfect
world. It would be as smooth,
as serene, as life had always
treated her, as the ocean in which
she relaxed her young body, float
ing gently on the bobbing waves,
eyes turned up to a sky as cloud
less and untroubled as her soul.
1t was in such a mood, refresh
ed in spirit as well as body, that
she retrned to the shore. She was
surprised to see that someone else
was there on the beach at this
early hour OF the morning. Not
Just because of the hour, but be-
case this particular stretch OF
beach was private, lined as II
was with the enormous estates
of the rich winter residents for
miles and miles. Though not many

not come south to open their pa

pending threat of war.
Still it could be some one of
their neighbors, or even one OF
their servants-it was the figure

wet and dripping, she slipped into
her woody white beach robe that
she had left lying in the small
frond- -thatched sun S:s-lter. It could
even be Paul, altough Karen was
not expecting him, as Paul was
not overly fond of the surf.
The man came on, head bent,
as though losr in thought, not even
glancing up as he occasionally
tossed a small shell, evidently TAX
en- from his pockets, into the sea.
But, though so absorbed, his walk
was springy and purposeful, al
most the steady, unbroken tread
of an athlete bent on pursuing a
set training pace, pace that was
broken, however, when he reached
Karen to stop abruptly, looking
up at last and apparently to find
himself as surprised at this en-
counter as she For it was the

her stretch Of private beach. And
she had never expected to see
him anywhere, ever again.

Retail Prices Increase
9Per Cent After Level
Regulated By Maximum.

WASHINGTON, July II. - (R -
Secretary of Commerce Jones said
today that retail prices rose 9 per
cent during the 12 months follow
ing the issuance of general maxi
mum price regulations, or just
half of the increase recorded dur
ing the preceding IL months.
Jones' figures were on the basis
of prices during May compiled in
the preparation of new price in
dex in connection with estimates Of
retail store sales. This index
placed retail prices in May at 1876
per cent of the 1s35-1s3s average.
The new index differs from the
cost-of-living index published by
the Bureau of Labor Statistics in
that it omits rents and other serv-
ice prices but includes prices of
building materials, farm machin-
ery and other non-consumer COM
nodities sold through retail stores.

CHAPTER THREE

One reason--perhaps almost the
main one-Wny Karen had agreed
to PauPs suggestion that their en-
gagement be announced at tn e
Moonlight Festival was her ia
ther. Paul mad said that he had
talked it over with her dad-ln
quite the approved old-fashloned
manner. and that he believed L

have matters settled.
"You practically have it all se.-
tied without me-" Karen laugh
inlv had said. But Paul had play
ed his trump card in bringing In
Jim Bell.
Karen adored the big, bluff,
hearty man who had been both
father and mother to his two moth
erless daughters, who had piled
I'D an enormous fortune without
help from any man, whose temper
was as unpredictable and lively
as tropical storm, and whose
heart was as soft, especially where
his daughters were concerned, as
raindrop.
Karen knew that this same
staunch hear. had nearly broken
all over again-the first time hav-
ling been at the early death of
his beloved wife-when her sister,
Denise, had married. Therefore,
Karen was determined that her
own marriage should be one to
bring her father satisfaction and
hearts ease. And Paul Wyatt was
everything that any man could
SIX for in a son-in-laW'-or that
any girl could ask for in a hus-
band, Karen tackled on hastily, as
if to make amends to Paul for
having placed her father first in
her thoughts.
Jim Bell had never, in six long
years, been able to forgive his
older daughter for her runaway
marriage. 1t was not just that he
had felt that Denise had married
beneath her"-Raoul had been a
riding master in a girls finishing
school at the time-but Jim had
been convinced that that foreign
er," as he always referred to De-
nise's husband, had been for
tune hunter and therefore, in a
self-made mans estimation, no.
account as well.
This first impression had proved
all too true. Raoul had brazenly
admitted that he had married
Denise because her father was a
wealthy man He had explained
that he had had to make, such a
marriage in order to save and
preserve his ancestral estate. For
besides being a riding m t e r,
Raoul also was a count with a
rundown castle waiting to receive
him and his bride somewhere in
one of the many small countries
Of the Balkans.
This last was really why Jim
never had been able to forgive
that elopemept or bestow his bless
ing, not even after six long years.
Perhaps if the young couple had
remained in this country-and Jim
had used all the persuasion and
influence he could wholesome Of
his bitterness might have melted.
But Count Durfree had insisted he
must return to his own country
and people, and that his wife must
