Isabel Is a peach of a girl and has fine character. I heard her talking to a number of girls last year urging them to Join the league to do everything you do In the very best way you can. She looked mighty pretty and you felt she certainly wa.s doing her best. And that was example right then a.nd there, was It not? i Lyitlctom is In the U. S. X. flying corps and Has been In the service since the be ginning of the war. He Is a son of Dr. Elgin Gould, of New York, and from all I hear Is a great favorite. Esther Howell Xoland, Isabel's sister, will bo matron of honor at the wedding. And she Is simply beautiful, so It -will be some stunning look ing bridal party. ' rpiIE second night of opera was quite as brilliant as the first. Caruso always draws a crowd, and then last night there was tho added excitement of seeing his wife, as she was expected to como on. She was Dorothy Benjamin, of New York, you know, and caused no end .of excitement Jast summer by marrjlng the famous tenor. Sho has a number of friends In this lty, for she attended school In one of the BUburbs for a few years. She Is cry good looking, don't you think? But looks very ouns". ( Sho was In a box with Mr. and Mrs. (Iillda last night and wore a stunning 3Wn of black velvet, with a red rose as the only touch of color. Her short fluffy brown hair was caught back very simply and 'becomingly with a rhtnestone pin. Sho seemed to enjoy tho opera thoroughly and applauded her husband most enthusias tically, for which you can't blimejier tor a minute. There were some very hand some gowns thero last evening, and have you noticed how popular red Is? There were red gowns of all shades from bril liant carmine to dull rose, In velvet, satin and not. I thought Frances Sulllvair looked particularly well In turquoise blue satin, with a huge white feather fan. Mrs. Sullivan wore light blue, which with a dog collar of diamonds. Mrs. Herbert L. Clark, who was In the Sulllvans box, was gowned In bluck net. Mrs. John W. Con verse wore black lace, and she looked per fectly stunning. She was In Mrs. Alexan der Brlnton Coxo's box. Major Jeter Hor ton, i. S. M. C, and Mrs. liorton enter tained In a box. General and Mrs. Waller were in tho audience. Mrs. Waller In gar net chiffon, with a cloak of that good-looking Japanese silk black with big figures Inbrlsht colois and trimmed with gray ur. Everybody seemed to be in a holiday mood) perhaps because there were a num ber of uniforms thero with overseas stripes on the alceves. THE Bertram Lippincott box was attrac tive. Sarah Blddle entertained in It and had Helen Tower, whoso engagement to Major Itoberlson, of Nashville, Tcnn., lf announced last week; Mrs. Itadcllffe Cheston, Jr., and Jean Bullitt among her guests. Sarah Is certainly one stunning looking person. She is so sweet and un affected and beautiful, and the most per fect little mother to two of the darllngest kiddles you ever saw.

Gluseppo Do Luca Dulcamara Adamo Dldur Conductor, Ucnnaio Papl Presenting one of the world's most modern operas at the beginning of the season last week, the Metropolitan Opeia Company last night gave the lovers of opera In Philadelphia one of the oldest works of Its kind that can still fa'lily claim to hold Its own. The opera was Donizetti's "L'Elisir d'Amore," In which Caruso made his first gieat success at La Scala, In Milan, and In which he has ever since been unrivaled. The story of the opeia Is simple Adlna. Is loved by Xemorlno, who Is poor, and sho Is tempestuously wooed by Sergeant Belcore and promises to marry him. Xemorlno, In despair, goes to Doctor Dulcamara for a love potion which turns out to be wjne. The charm docsnot work and he applies to the doctor for more, but has not tho money to buy It. To get the money he enlists with the sergeant. Tho doctor tells Adlna. of his devotion, and she bujs his release from the army and con fesses her love for him. Then Nemoiino's uncle dies, leaving him a large fortune and all ends happily. By a combination of cli- cumstnnces all is ascribed to the magic elivlr It Is claimed by many modernists that Donizetti's operas arc antiquated, but cer tainly a work which offers a medium for the presentation of such singing as was heard last evening is destined even jet to a life as long as there aic singers capable of doing justice to the parts. Unlike many of th" operas of Its period, it Is not written around a single part, but calls for the height of vo calization In four pf the five characters or the cast nnd for a consummate degree of acting In three of them. In every case the requirements of the opera were fully met. Of course, Caruso was Hie bright particular star of the cast, and descncdly so. The music Is the kind In which he Is suptcme, and he exhibited In a sunerlatlve dcerce every nhase for thd vocal art, besides that marvelous tone quality which he alone possesses. Ills sing ing of the romance "Una Furtlva Lagrima" In the last act was one of those" wonderful bits of singing In which Bjmpathetic' interpre tation and perfect vocalization are combined Into such a rendition as It Is not given often to hoar. In this number his singing reached its highest point, although through the entire opera It was as near perfection as seems pos sible for the human voice to attain. Caruso is at his best In comedy and the part of Xemorlno calls not only for singing of the first ran!,, but also for acting of a high grade. In it Caruso isjn his clement, and he understands the character of Xemo rlno as probably no other singer (certainly none but an Italian) understands it. He kept the audience amused from start to finish by his exceedingly clever presentation of the part, with its amusing action and Its characteristically Italian peasant buffoonery. The part suits him amazingly, both vocally and histrionically, and adding to this his marvelous voice It Is little wonder that ho gave one of the best performances ho has ever shown here But Caruso, great as he Is, did not carry away all the honors. Filcda TIeinpel as Adlna was splendid both In voice and In acting, the colorature duels with Xemorlno and Dulcamara show Ing perfect control of tone ahd great freedom, of vocalization She did her best' singing of the evening In the last-named of these duets and received many iccalls. Slgnor De Luca gave a flno presen tation of the swashbuckling Sergeant Bel core The part does not fit his vo'ce so well, perhaps, as some others, and this was par ticularly the cape In the first act; but his duet with Xemorlno in the second act was an especially lino bit of work. Slgnor Dldur was capital as the quack Doctor Dulcamara, a part difficult to sing and still harder to act. Tils buffo song when ho makes his fir3t appearance on the Blage and his duets with Xemorlno and Adlna wero the parts In which he excelled vocally, the last being a very difficult piece of cnuncia. t!on. As nn actor ho has never eurpassed In Philadelphia his work of last evening. Leonora Sparkes gave graceful presenta tion of the part of Glannetta, and Slgnor Papl as conductor brought out the brightness and humor ot the score. , As an opera "L'Elisir d'Amore" IsHone of the best of Its period. It has no "mission" and teaches no lesson. It Is jubt u charming comedy which requires good singers and good actors to present acceplably, leaving out of the question such n superlative 'per formance as was heard last evening. The orchestration generally Is characteristic ot Its time, nearly all string, except for the scoring of Xcmorlno's aria In the t-econd act, which shows fqr that day an amazingly Ad vanced piece of writing for the wood winds.' Also the occasional melodic use of the French born (very unusual In 1832) and the bassoon solo Introducing the Romance In the last act, which, sounds In instrumentation far more like lieyerbecr than Donizetti, Indicate that Jhe composer was doubtless" a "modern" In his day. At tho same time tho Idea Is always to slioa oft the voice and tho orchestra Is eveiuborainated to that end. The possi bilities ot the orchestra In opora was a de velopment of many jears later. Neverthe less, the revival was a delightful experiment and gave Philadelphia a chance to hear Caruso In ono of his greatest roles and with the ablest support that the Metropolitan af fords.

"Of course I am a great deal younger than vou," smirked Miss Snou Owl, preening her feathers, "but then I'd rather have a huband who has romo sense.

He stepped politely back as he removed the stick in front of It and let MIse Snowy Owl enter (list Then he snapped the stick quickly across the entrance and started to fly away, his quavering hoots turning to loud chuckles as ho thought how he fooled his two would-be wives. But Judgo Owl was not out or rouble yctv From the tree above him there "sounded a wall, so loud and uncannj that Peggy grabbed Billy Belgium In quick fright. Ho was i-tartled, too, but as the wulL, camo a second time ho laughed. "It's Miss Screech Owl." he whispered. "She's also after Judge Owl." Miss Screech Owl halted Judge Owl boforo he could get away. "Here I am, Judgo Owl, to marry jou," she quavered plaintively. "I'm sorry, but 1 have a very important engagement far, far away from here," de. clared Judge Owl promptlj'. "I'll go with you," quavered Miss Screech Owl. "Wo will make It a honejmooii trip." "Xo, It is a buslncra engagement and I'm in a hurry. Good night!"

He turned back with Miss Screech Owl and led the way to tho holo In his hollow tree. vHcro It is," ho cried, "do In quick.' lie pulled tho stick aside, and as Miss Screech Owl popped within he snapped It back into place. From Inside the tree there now arose an awful clatter, squawking, screeching and hooting. "Good night, ladles," hooted Judge Owl wrlth a chuckle, and off he flew as fast aB he could. But he didn't start quick enough, for tho stick broke In two and threo angry lady owls, snapping and tfai h g at each other, tumbled cut and chased after him.

CHAPTER XIII ViiJ Achilla in His Tent OUTSIDE darkness had fallen. 1 had a vague suspicion that the house might be watched, but I found the Bcndler-Strasse, quite undisturbed It ran Its quiet, aris tocratic length to the tangle of bare urancnea marking the Tlergaitcn-Strasse with not so much as a dog to strike terror Into the heait of the amateur spj-. Even in the Tlergartcn Strasse, where the Jewish millionaires live, there was little trafilc and few people about, and I felt singularly unromantic as I walked briskly along the clean pavements toward Unter den Linden Once more the oilginal object of my journey Into tleimanj stood cleat ly before me. An extraordinary series of adventures had deflected me from inv course, but never from my purpose. I realized that I should never feel happy In m mind again if I left Ger many without being assured as to my brother's fate. And now I was on the thresh old cither of a great discovery or of an ov erw helming disappointment. For the stiect caled In den Zelten was my next objective I knew I might be on tho wrong track altogether In my Interpretation of what l was pleased to term In my mind tho message from Francis If I had read It falsely if, perhaps, It were not from him at all then all the hopes I had built on this mad daslfinto tho enemj's country would collapse like a house of cards Thcn.-indecd, 1 should b In a sorrj- pass But mv luck was In, I felt Hitherto, I had triumphed over all dllllcullic'. I wouiu trust In nij' destiny to the last I had taken the precaution of turning up my overcoat collar and of pulling my hat well down over my ejes, but no ono troubled me I reflected that only Clubfoot and Schmal wero In a position to recognize me and that, If I steered clear of places like hotels and lestaurants and railway stations, where criminals alwajs seem to be caught. 1 might continue to enjoy comparative Im- munitj-. But the trouble was the passport question That reminded me. T must get rid of Semlln's passport As f walked along 1 tore it Into tiny pieces, drop ping each fragment at a good Interval from tho othei. It cost me something to do it foi a pass port is always useful to flash in the eyes ot the Ignorant Hut this passport was dan gerous. It might denounce me to a man who would not otherwise recognize me. I had some difficulty in finding In den Kellcn. 1 had to ask tfio vvay, once of a postman and once of a wounded "Soldier who was limping along with crutches. Flnallj, I found it, a Tiarrowlsh street running oft a corner ot the gicat square In front of the Reichstag. Xo. J was the second house on the right. I had no plan. Nevertheless, I walked boldly upstairs. There was but one flat on each floor. At the third story I halted, rather out ot breath, In front of a door with a small brass plate Inscribed with the name "Eugene Kore." I rang the bell boldlj-. An elderlv manservant opened the dooi "13 Herr Eugene Kore at home?" I asked. The man looked at ine susplcioush. "Has the gentleman an appointment1? ' he said. "Xo," T replied "Then tho Herr will not receive the gentle man," came the answer, and tho man made as though to close the door. I had an inspiration. "A moment!" I cried, pnd I added the word "Adillles" In a low voice. The servant opened tho floor wide to me "Why didn't jou saj that at once?' he said. 'Please step In. I will seo If the Herr can iccelve jou." He led the wav through a hall into a sit ting room and left me there. The place w.i a perfect museum of art treasures, old Dutch and Italian musters on the walls, some bplendld Floicntlne chests, a flno old drcjser loaded with ancient pewter. On a mantel shelf was an exttaoidlnary colleetlon of old Kejs, each with its label "Key of the fortress of Spandau, 171.1." "Key of the Postern Gate ot the Tasha's Palace at Bel grade. 1810," "Hoube Key from Xuicmberg, 16B7," were some of the descriptions I read. Then a Voice behind me bald: "Ah! jou admire my little treasures!' Turning, I saw a short, stout man, of a marked Jewish appearance, with a bald head, a fat nose, little b"ady eyes and a large waist. "Eugene Kore!" ho Introduced h'mself with a bow. ' "Me.vcr!" I replied, in the German fashion "Anil what can we do for Herr Meyer? ' he asked In oily tones, pausing just long enough before he pronounced tho naniH 1 gave, to let mo see that ho believed It to be a pseudouj in. I "I -believe jou know a friend of mine, whoso address I am anious to find," I sa'd "Ah" sighed tho Utile Jew, "a man of affairs' like mjseir meets bo many people, that he mav he pardoned What did jou say his name was, this, friend ot yours?" I thought I would try th'o cfTcct of the name "Eielicnhol?" upon this enigmatic creature. "Elchcnholf " Eichcnholz? ' Kore repeat ed.

Opening this, he brought out a ledger and ran his flngei down the names Then ho shut tho book, replaced It, locked the safo and the cabinet, and turned to me again. "Vcs," he said, "I know the name," Ills reticence was disconcerting. "Can you tell nio where I can find him?' I asked. "Yes," was the reply. I was getting a trlfio nettled. 'Well, vvhcie7" I queried. "This is all veiy well, young sii," said the Jew. "You come in hero from nowhere, voi! introduce yourself as Meyer: jou ask mo 'Who?' and 'What?' and 'Where?' questions that, mark you, in my business, may have valuable answers We private in aulrv -agents must live, my dear sir, we must oat and drink like other men, and these .arc hard times, very hard times.

I said "The word." he repeated. You must take Dutch money," I said Here you are work it out In gulden . . . and I'll pay!" He manipulated a stump of pencil on a writing block and I paid him his money. Then he said: "Boonekamp 1 , Boonekamp?" I echoed stupidly.
