Thiil ithc opera wns n. ureal auercsH
Is superllnoup, to remark. It fUtrprlscit
tho community, and that In the truth.
From n musical and artistic stand
point, It surpaHsed ovcrythhiR hereto
fore attempted In this region, nnd
there Is hut one voice rewarding tho
Koncral credltabHIty of the perform
ance. That It was such n social and finan
cial success Is largely duo to tho
directors of the Hahnemann hospital,
who worked IndefatlRably from the
date of itrf Inception. Mrs. .'l II. Wat
lilns opened her house for rehearsnl.i,
nnd society leaders provided costumes
el cetera, for the performers wher
ever their assistance was necos-'sary.
Tho members of the cast tolled day
nnd night to perfect themselves In
their various roles, and Messrs. A.
H. Storrs, A. (!. Hunt, and others did
valuable service in connection with
the business arrnutren'cnls. Most of
nil, the affair received the most en
thusiastic support of the public, which
would have redoubled its aid If the
performance could have been repeated.
Madame Tlnihcrman-Itiuidolph nnd
the nccltal club have covered them
selves with glnry and there is n pos
sibility that a definite ensiuTem"iit will
be made between them and tho hosp'tal
people to produce an annual musical
ontortiiinment under their auspices.
If they should 'thus arrange, they
could not do belief than to .secure
Mrs. Dixie as manimer, for she ban
amply proved her ability to produce
n proRramnie exactly as defined, on
time and with a p"rfeolion of smooth
ness. About $1,100 was realized fiom
the opera.
Among tho most pleasing features
of the affair was the souvenir pro
grammes contributed by the Corres
pondence schools.
An Interesting Incident In connection
with the opera is the fact that th
preparations for this elaborate event
consumed but three weeks. I
Amat"iir performances, such as the I
opera of this week, afford Intercstltm
revelations of the world behind the j
scones to the young people unfamiliar ',
with such environment. They c.r- !
talnly had a good time on this or-
cii$Io'n, and the picturesque effect of
the varied costumes was not Inst in

most incongruous sight was In the
"statues" in tho "ArllstN Dream."

the bright-huod dresses and high
color of tho damsels lit the chorus, j

chairman of the finance committee,
hns plnnned to consume but n brief
time- In rehearsals, limiting lh.
prennrntloiiH to a much horter space
than has heretofore been consld. red
necessary.
It Is reasoned that the many wo.'-k-j
of rehearsals and worrisome attention
to details, will weary the young peo
ple nnd that n far greater degree of
excellence can bo obtained by a short
er time devoted to hi It It rehearsals,
attendance at which will' be Impera

the .voung people of Hie city regarding
the proposed fete and It Is evldon".
that they win enter Into It with th
liveliest Inleivst. Ah, these blessed
young people! How hard they do
work, ami how generous they aio with
their gifts of health, beauty, grace
and lime, as well as mousy, to help
the poor, the unfortiinat., or iho

of giving their fete llie j-ccimd week

A divergence from the usual tun of

HER POINT OF VIEW
Mn. 1.10K, of the. Ladles' Homo
Jouinal, is, Kfincrnlly BpeiiUliiff,
extremely careful about tin
style of literature ho provides for the
hundreds of thousands readers ol
his iiuiKiizltie. lie him nice, clean
Htnilus ulth an unmlMtnkable moral
and no mlfrKcstlve reflected lights,
lie provides IniproVlliK and elevating
essays and cooking receipts which
have not too much wlno In thein. He
has made It n point to u'llevo the
mind of the anxious young girl who
Insistently demanded to know
whether It Is right lo allow n strange
young man to kiss her when he nays
good night, and he has given shud
ders of horror to men who have guile
lessly worn Tuxedo coats to a dinner
hut who, from Air. t'.ok's Journal learn
that It l.s criminally wrong to appear
In such a gnrment whotc there are
ladles. Such young men have felt as
embarrassed because of their breach
of etiquette, as If they had nppcired
In public In pajamas, while, others
have been rejoiced to know that there
Is no law prohibiting thein fiom send
ing a girl violets once in a while, say
at Christmas.
Hut Mr. Unit had one writer for his
magazine who must cause him to
blush since her more lecont literary
work Is being exploited. To bo sure,
she did not do any great damage to
th; lleals of the Young Person In her
efforts published by the Ladies' Horn.1
Journal, but her latas; attempt Is a
little dlfi'iMonl. Hefor.-nee Is made to
Lillian Hell.

hensible. She has twisted the In

is all very well to be intensely pat

in this biok Is enough to weary even
the mosl patient foreigner, and worry
the most cnthuf lastie American.

If theie Is any virtue In this wide
world which parents should endeavor
to instill into the minds of their chil
dren If Is that of never putting off till
the morrow what should be done to
day. Promptness in attending to duty
Is more than a virtue it is an attri
bute of calendared sainthood. Pro
crastination Is more than an error
more than a vice: it is almost a crime.
One who suffers dally, hourly, from
the procrastinating habit Is competent
to give advice on tho subject, particu
larly after having systematized the
fault to such an extent that It Is re
vised into the motto: "Never do any
thing today that you can put off untiJ
the latter part of next week when per
haps .von won't have to do it at all."
Now this Isn't a lnny man's creed. It
Is simply the result of repeated and
persistent delay until the procrastina
tion habit has been acquired irrevoca
bly. ' You will never know exactly
what that means until you icach the
point where you never do anything In
the world with piomptltude, when
youi every Impulse is to wait a little,
when you are a veritable Mexican with
the ever repeated "M.mana," Tomor
row! Tomorrow! You will not be able
to thoroughly realize the grasp of this
halilt until the thought of even enter
ing upon pleasuie Is always accom
panied with the linpube to wait a lit
tle, when no duty Is ever accom
plished just at the moment when it
should because It is put off for an
hour, an afternoon, or a week. Strong
er than the drink habit, stronger than
the appetite for tobacco or chicken
salad, or lolister-Xowliurg. Is the llxed
habit so easily acquired of delaying It
l.i a method once adopted that prribab';,
gives you more absolute wretchednes!
and more genuine delight than any
other. Nobodv but a confirmed p'o
crastlnator can realbte what a horror
It is to arrive at the latter part of next
week to find m.iuiitnlns of nc:rlecte:l
duties heaped up In the way with no
path round or above or through. No
body but a proerastln.Uor can realize
how utterly delicious It Is to Idlo awiy
un hour or two of borrowed time with
some charming book or with an oqii-Hly
fascinating friend to snuggle down
cosily on tho lounge for a nap, wh n
the left-over duties and the ones Just
due are crowding each other the o'her
side of the door. Such bliss! but ah,
such misery when the latter part of
next week arrives.
H
This Is a Story with Two Morals.
HI in was such a nice girl so attractive
and popular and capable. Kvcrythlug
f-ho did was done Just right. She was
conscientious, generous and amiable,
and ono man, at least, among her
friends thought she was perfection,
and oven more, If possible. Sho cared
about him, too that Is sho must have
been fond of him, for he was every
thing a girl could desire in a lover, and
most of her acquaintances would have
given a grent deal to Imvo him so ut
terly devoted to themselves. Hut how
my lady snubbed him! Shu was Just
like tho girls In tho novels, only she
wasn't In u novel, but was a real, gen
unlno, living, ami breathing girl. And
she led that particular young man n
weary chase, She wasn't a coquette.
She didn't mean to torture hlni, but It
Just seomed that sho didn't know hoi
own mind, nnd for months and. ever
years for It had been going on slrict
she wore her hair In pigtails she kept
him subject to her moods. He was en
tirely too ineelc mid never did more
than look grieved when sho snubbed
him and was Just as easy to Hy back tr
her at the slightest smite of encour
agement. He simply couldn't stay
away.
Her friends used to remonstrate with
her and declaro that ono day she would
regret It. They asked her how In the
world sho would set along without
him to do her bidding nnd stand ready
for her call. "Oh, I don't Intend to
Bel nlong without him," she would re
ply Indifferently. "There will iihvnys
bo Allen." And that evening she re
fused him again ns he begged her to
bo his wife. "Don't be foolish," she
snld, serenely; "I don't want to bo
married, and I nm not nt all stiro that
I would marry you nnywny.i' And ho
went away with the same look hn al
ways boiu on his face when ho gutted
tit her.
Oddly enough after that' night It
begun to be noticed thai he 'was less
seen at her side as her patient, hope
ful attendant. He left off Wntchlrg
her wllh that look of dumb pleading
In hht eyes, nnd he Hcenicri lo laugh
more and was merrier even than In
the other days, although ho had ul
way.s been the life of the circle of
Irlends. Sometimes the girl used to
be defected looking nt him with ti
strange, puwded expression, although
she did not seem to resent' his now
altitude. She was too much absorbed
In adjusting herself to the changed
relations to bo resentful, and besides
she was not a narrow, frivolous or
vindictive person.
The morning came, after warnings
In tho shape of rumors which she did
not beer), when she found his wedding
cards at her plate He was to marry
a girl In another town, ono whom
she had never seen. She went to her
room after a time nnd rat down before
the mirror and said to tho white face
which seemed to look at her curious
ly: "You have made a mess of life, not
only of your own but others. You
knew nil the time that poiiw day you
expected to marry him. yet you wore
out his patience, his belief In you and
his best self. You might ns woll ad
mit that you don't know how to llvo
without him. You've missed him so
these past weeks that there is only
a big acho where your heart Hired to
be. You know he's tho only man In
the world you could marry. You know
what high principles ho has, what am
bition, what purity of thought and
word. You know that beneath his
gentleness Is a fury of temper, but
that for you and toward you that tem
per would never bo anything but lovo
and devotion and consideration. You
know this, too, that he Is not marry
ing another girl through pique, but
just because ho was hopeless and
desolate without you and wanted to
readjust his life to make the best of
It possible. Ho is a brave, good man.
You aro a pitiful coward, do you hoar?
and never in all your days will you bo
anything but a lonely, cold woman,
who might, bo happy If she hadn't
been a fool." Saucy Eess.
