At the meet on April 19 there will be n buffet luncheon at the clubhouse nnd the HKiiestf) will attend the meet and then daucc most of the afternoon. Mrs. Marshall was Mis Sarnh Tlor, you knowt and she and her husband arc most popular In th liotse loving set as well as the other social set. TlIK opera last night was quite wonder ful, and certainly there was n larte and i-nthitslastii- audience, for this may be called the in-between kcason. ut It were, nnd those who have been South have returned nnd veryj very few have opened their count,' ' homes yet. Quite a number plau to wait until after Kaster week, for whnt with Mask nnd Wig parties and dancing Uasses or other Mich excitements, the ounger set at any Irate will be busy us bees, nnd there is not.(mucli sens.e In going out of town just to cbmc in again. .,,-.- n fha'e seldom seen Mrs. Aleck Yarnall look lovelier than she did last nlghtnt the opera. She had a frock which was a com binntion of white nnd silver- with- inlets of a soft rose pink, which Is the most becoming color Mis. Ynrnall ever wears. I remember her once at a Bryn Mawr Horse Show It wis the day of the Clark-1 own send wedding nbout four years ago, and Elise Hopkins (she was then) came up to' the Show from tlu wedding and she bad on a'pink cloth gown trimmed with chinchilla. It was the loveliest gown I have abuost ever seenand believe me, she looked simply gorgeous in it. . . . Mrs. Robert Montgomery had a wonderful gown on last night; it was white satin shot with gold thread and draped into the back of the. low-cut bodice wan u fold of black panne velvet, and Mrs. 'Arthur Kuileu cw hold, who was with the Aleck amnlls in Mrs. Alexandcr-llrinton Coxe't. box. wore u wonderful frock of peScock blue green velvet boftened with creamy, iace. tr., Ridgway Rellly donned a becoming i gown of very deep orchid georgette crepe. It was built on very plain lines, the bodice 'lit V-shaped and fbcre was no touch o .hi. in rnliee he mimic, but like Mrs. .lack Oeary's black dress, it did not need rtny white. ' ., Several of next year's debs were there, in the orchestra rather thnu the boxes. I saw fortieth Botd in a dainty white satin frock and Sarah Dolan had n blue georgette dress. A verv handsome gown was worn by Mrs. Horrv, Thavcr, it was of black and gold brocade; but the most extraordinary cos tume of the evening was that worn by Jlrs. (ieorge Willing. .lr. It was a brilliant red tulle and sequin dress made on perfectly a. it iL. Uam- nml 1la)1fl in II I". j,i ptraigDt lines; rauirr miun. .... - -- the waist with a narrow coru oi rcu " It was the sort of gown that stood out nione from all the others. Mrs. Willing wore uo ornaments in her hair and no jewels. It was certainly a woddcrful bit of cqlor.

The cordial lccrption of the work and its performance goes to kIiow that Verdi and hi loely melo dies aic a (ixttiic on the operatic Mage for many jenrs to come. Pcihnps the greatest interest lu tlie opeia to the operngoer lay In the "Itigoletlo" of De I.uca. This fine Mngcr has repeatedly vhown his gieat nbilitj Io net in comic parts, in which he has no superior and onl one leal competitor on tlie -American opeiatic stage. Much interest was showu in his per formance of Don Carlos in "l.a Voivn del Destino," but owing to the exigencies of time, his tingic scenes in this opera weie oinitled.x Ifast evening, therefore, was reall tlie first tilde this jenr thnt a Philadelphia audience had the opportunity to sec li'uii in n vole of real tragedy. It is no lcflcction on Mr. de I.ucu's his trionic nit to say that he is belter in comedy than iu the more serious characters, al though he acted his Itigoletlo with con viction and a thorough knowledge of the part, but he could not nlwnjs jCRtrnin that twinkle of the cje that proved ho, fnscinuting nnd convincing in the "The Hnrbcr" and "Ciianni Scicchi." Vocally, his rendition of the part, exacting ns it is, left nothing to be desired. Marin Harrientos was excellent ns (li!da Her voice is of light texture, nnd did not J always prove equal to the orchestration, but her ability to sing in perfect tune and her high register, ns well as the manner in which she carried out the intense emotional re quirements of the pait. both vocally and in her acting, aided her in making n decided success. She has not wholly conquered her habit of facial distortion, nud obviously "piepares" for the high notes: but the fact that she always .-els them is perhaps onlj a vindication of the adage Hint "the end jus tifies the means." The thiid of the principal characters, that of the Duke, was taken by Mr. I.azaro. He sang well as a whole, although there was here and there a tendency to "force" the extreme notes, resulting more than once In singing them a little sharp. He was not especially convincing iu his acting, although his small physique rather than his dramatic ability may be responsible for this. Sophie Ilraslau gave a fine presentation of Mad diilenn, charming in appearance, resonant in her fine voice nnd gjpsy-like in action. Of the minor parts De Segurola ns Sparufucilc and ltossi as Monterone were the best, the lotter being especially impressive ns the outraged parent, bis acting in the delivery of the "Mnlediction" nnd his vocal work throughout being the best that n local audi ence has seen for n long time. Tho opera is full of popular numbers nnd they were all well given. The dramatic in tensity of the curse of Monterone was one of the high spots of the opera, ns was the scene between Gilda nml the Duke in the second net. Madame Karrientos gave prob ably her best rendition of the evening in the Giro Nome." which calls nol only for' delicacy of vocnIUatlnu. but ns0 for n 'bril limit coloraturn. demanding great range and MARKET STRnET AnOVE IflTH VoA' ll:IS V.
