RBfcly tnkon for granted thnt these works lack some essential cle ment of permanency. Therefore, for artistic an well an box office reasons artists arc fully Justified In choosing programs which their audiences will like, provided always that the com positions meet the musical and Intel lectual demands of tho performer's artistic judgment. COMING MUSICAL EVENTS Caruso comes again to I'lillailrlpiiln next Tuesday evening at tho Mttropolltnn Opera miuse in .Manna." itn i;aruo will are chosen for nublic concerts by must clans great and small. And this is the case in practically every concert and other musical performance of the neason from the Metropolitan Opera Company and the great symphony or chestras down to the smallest recital of tho year. Therefore, when the musical "culture" of n community is under de bate the verdict may be rendered ac cording to the kind of programs which are presented, becauso in the last anal ysis these represent the kind of music that the public will pay for and there fore wants to hear. A great deal is heard by nnd large during each year of the "commercial ism" which is said to be rampant in music, but as it matter of fact probably less of this element enters Into music than into any other of the arts. Mind, we nre speaking now of tho great music corporations, such as the opera companies nnd symphony orchestras. The Metropolitan Opera Company and tho Chicago Opera Company nre more than satisfied If they make nnywhere near their expenses, nnd the great sym phony orchestras know very well befm-c n single concert is given each year thnt they nre not going to come out anything like "even" on the seaou. For this reason a guarnntee or nn endowment fund is nn absolute necessity. Therefore, the orchestras can be more Independent In selecting their programs than those individuals or the concert or ganizations which must make expenses nnd n little better or go out of existence as public performers. And yet, even tn the orchestras nnd the opern compa nies, the public has an enormous voice Jn the programs nnd the repertoires. IN THE end tho public has the power of life nnd death over every musical organization. No matter how heavily endowt'd it may be nor how imi.-terinl it is whether the company makes its ex penses out of its public performances, it must plense tho music-loving people or It cannot live There Is no glory tn performing works which the public does not care to hear and which it will not attend, and an organization thnt does this will soon pass away, even if it docs not have to have a cent from the public to finish its season. Therefore, all musical organizations try, nnd It is right thnt they should do bo, to select progrnms which will prove "popular," using that much-abused term in its brond and best sense. Of course, there must be new music of the various schools in both our operatic nnd sjmphonic reasons, and much of this is music which does not make the best impression on n first hearing, but it Is necessary that we hear it in order to know whnt is being done by the composers of the world. Because it is on the program for a season docs not necessarily imply thnt the imDresario or conductor be lieves the music to be fine, nnd it would i be more than interesting to know whnt Mr. Gntti-Casazza.

Forrest "Pirates of the 8prlnr.v Harold Bindloss has n wido following of readers, probably almost ns ranging in territory ns the far-scattered scenes of his red-blooded novels. This season ho has published two pieces (of charac teristic fiction, which maintain his skill In originating n complicated plot nnd his facility in enrrying Its details of intrigue with stirring ndventure nnd plenty of suspense. One of his new novels ts Inld, as to scene. In thc Canndinn Northwest, a terrain with which ho is very familiar, not only ns fictlonlst, but ns explorer. The other moves far from thc snow to thc tropical atmosphere of the Cn rlbbenn, which Mr. Blndlcss knows well ns n globe trpttcr. Both novels have n similarity In tho type of hero typical Britishers, both young nnd in quest of fortune. There is even u hint of likeness In the comradely wording of the titles. But tn nil other respects, in characterization nnd In plot develop ment, the two stories stand on'dlf fcrent Individual merits. "Partners of thc Out Trnll" relates the story of a woodsman of British Columbia, who is thc lost heir to nn English estate. He is a pioneer in thc wilderness, winning his fight against obstacles both of man and of nature in running a telegraph line through n hard country. Winning also hts English es tate, he ts again confronted by difficul ties, but by applying thc square rule of thc wilds he is again triumphant. Ills biggest struggle Is within his heart the choice between n lovely girl bnck homo nnd the girl who has stood by hinfln the wilderness his pnrtner of the out trail. "Wyndham's Pat" ts again the story of the struggle of one tron-wlllcd man against human opposition nnd natural barriers. Harry Wyndham, tho hero, has a double Incentive in his task of restoring tho fortunes of his famllv bv putting his ancestral trading firm back on thc commercial and marine map.

DETECTIVE STORIES Three of Them by Popular English Writers Louis Tracy has not lost his nbility to write an absorbing story, for he has again exhibited It in "The Strange viko ot .Mortimer Fcnley." The strangeness of the case lies in thc mur der of Mortimer Fcnley one morning on the steps of his country house lust ns he was about to enter his nutomobllc to start for his banking office in London.
