This has caused some interesting and new phase3 in the demeanor of operatic audiences this winter. No longer do the newcom ors sit with the programme In one hand and the libretto in the other and try to Identify the singers as they appear. They have their programmes with the diagram of the boxes and the list of the holders, and their energies are devoted to ascer taining who is wh"o. Attraction Too Strong. It is a natural result of their interest in the boxes and not in the people on the stage 'that there should be -very lit tle expression of enthusiasm over what the singers may do. It takes something very thrilling to attract their attention to the sage. As the characters in the opera appear and are, or are not, greet ed with an exhibition of mild enthusiasm, the attention of the audience is momen tarily directed to them, but after a mere ly casual look Interest returns to the audi ence. So far It has always required some especial flash of brilliancy In the perform ance to awaken any response. Mme. Sembrlch, in the lesson scene from "The Barber of Seville"; Mme. Calve, with her high piano note In the garden scene of "Faust," and M. Alvarez hurling out his top tones in "Alda" these are the lively sensations which distract attention temporarily from the occupants of the boxes So far the Wagner music dramas have fallen evidently on the most unsym pathetic ears. There are, of course, few opportunities for applause during the progress of these operas, but even the coldest audiences in the past have been moved to an occasion outbreak In 'JERSEY LILY" REVISITS AMERICA.

She opened a five weeks' engagement at the Garrick theater.

It was always cus tomary to see the curtain rise three or four times after the close of an act in one of these works. After that came the crossing of the stage several times by the principal singers. These same spec tacles have, indeed, been witnessed this year, but In so mild-mannered and per functory fashion that the audiences seemed little Interested. "What in the world is the matter with those people in front?" asked a prima donna the other evening In French; "are they seated on their hands?" A protest of a German tenor who had been struggling to do his best wa3 even more emphatic. "My heavens," he ex olalmed, "those people out there are aa cold as pigs' snouts." . "A Lot of Frogs." Another prima donna grew even, more Indignant, and after she had been re peatedly recalled and created the wild est enthusiasm after one scene, was dis posed to be more Indignant than ever. "Applaud? Encore?" she said in French. "Of course they would be expected to do that after anybody had sung before them for five hours. A lot of frogs would be warmed up by that time." This Is the attitude of all the singers, who And it impossible to understand why tho public has suddenly come to show so little appreciation of their efforts, so far as demonstration of approval is concerned. The flowers thrown to the stage this year have been of a laughably cheap character. From the Opera Club have several times como bou quets which, from their general appear ance, might have cost SO cents during the holiday season, but bouquets of no other kind have been visible. They may have gone to the dressing-room in accordance with the rule of the management- This rule existed in the past, and enthusiastic admirers of the singers were always able to get around It. It was the unwilling ness of the publio to applaud that has led to a suggestion from a large number of artists in the opera company that It would be better for Mr. Grau to employ a clacque rather than to have the per formances pass off in the present perfunc tory fashion.

"It was a most peculiar dilemma," said the young man who told the story, "one of those situations in which a fellow can't explain himself for fear of being misun derstood. "A couple of weeks ago I rented a suite of three rooms In an old building not far from the Hotel Royal, one of those ram shackle barracks that were opce hand some mansions, and precisely adapted to the picturesque semi-Bohemian snuggery I hod been longing for several years to establish on that side of town. Well, I moved in, and everything went all right until the afternoon of the second day, when I was smoking a corncob pipe in the rear room, which overlooks a very quaint brick courtyard, and happened to notice a red rat on top of the cistern " "A red rat!" exclaimed his listeners In astonished chorus. "Did you say red rat or dead rat?" "I said red rat and meant red rat," re plied the narrator. "The rat I saw was abnormally largo in size and bright ver milion in color. Naturally I was some what startled. In fact, I got such a sud den move on me that I fell over back ward, and when I picked myself up the rat was gone. I tried to argue that the thing was an optical illusion, probably some scrap of red paper which the wind had carried to the cistern top and blown off again, but It was no go. I remember the beast too distinctly. "I went to bed trying to solve the enig ma," continued the young man, "and got up still thinking about red rats. Of course, it was absurd, yet the incident so preyed on my mind and disturbed my train of thought that I found myself un able to do some writing which I had mapped out and was particularly anxious to complete." Saw Em Again. "But why didn't you question the neigh bors?" Interrupted one of the party, who were now deeply interested. "That occurred to me, but they were all strange, foreign-looking folk, who never spoko English, and I was satisfied I could not make them understand. Besides, It is an wwkward job to approach a total stranger with Inquiries about red rats. He is apt to conclude that you are either crazy or guying him, and in either case will probably punch your head before you can explain. So I said nothing, but kept a close eye on the old court, and after three or four days had elapsed I was be ginning to think it was all a dream, when I again saw the red rat this time with a companion equally large end equally red. "The two creatures were sunning them selves at the end of my own back gallery, and I saw them through a window not 20 feet away.

I glared at them perhaps a min ute, and then a door slammed somewhere and they both suddenly vanished down a drain pipe. That visitation determined me to solve the mystery or perish in the at tempt, and I rushed bareheaded down to a little store on the same block. "Excuse me," I 11 to the proprietor, 'but did ycu ever see any red rats around here? I must have looked pretty wild; anyhow he burst out laughing. 'Only once, he said. "They wore little tin caps and carried blue parasols. Oh! but seriously I I in sisted. "You'll find it serious, said he, 'unless you quit drinking. "That discouraged me.

Gets Desperate. " There are some red rats about the premises, I said to myself. 'I don't know where they came from, or how they ac quired that peculiar color, and what is more, I don't care. 1 will dismiss them from my mind.' But that was easier said than done. I hate a mystery, and was haunted by the horrible fear that I was the victim of a hallucination. Do what I would, those Infernal red rats galloped through my brain morning, noon and night. I went Into a store to get a ci gar, and paralyzed the clerk by asking him for an Imported red rat, not too dry, and a correspondent wired to know what the dickens I meant by writing him that red rats were certain to drop Ave points before the close of Monday's trading. "Finally I couldn't stand It any longer. and, although I had seen nothing more of the rats, I decided to quit tho rooms. That was last Thursday, and when I told the landlord I wanted to go, he wfia as tonished, and pressed me hard for a rea son. 'Well, to tell you the truth,' I said at lost, I don't like the color of the rats in the house. They don't match the fur niture,' 'Oh. the red rats!' he said, laugn ing; 'are there still some of them left?' " 'Yes, I fairly yelled, 'and for good ness sake, tell me quick what you know about 'em.' Why, therewere two Ger man feather dyers on "the third floor last spring,' he said, 'and just for fun they caught a lot of rats and dyed them red. It killed most of the lot, but three or four seemed to get fat on It, and I've seen 'em running around lots of times. Surely they haven't scared you out, have they? Then I lied abjectly and told him no; that it was something else, and let him talk me into staying. "The red rats don't bother me now. In fact, I find them Tather decorative.

Revolutionary Damsel Changes Bridegrooms at Last Moment The historical and genealogical societies often bring to light interesting family tales and traditions, remarks the Youth's Com panion. In a paper read before a local society, a New England woman recently related an amusing anecdote of a spirited ancestress of revolutionary days. The damsel, Abiga.l by name, was loved by twin brothers, Asaph and Ashel, but only Asaph had had the courage to pro pose marriage. Although the girl had been suspected of an inclination for the shyer brother, she accepted the mora venture some Asaph, perhaps partly through pique. The t eddlng day was set, but then a difficulty arose. She wa3 an ardent patriot, he a rather lukewarm one. It was during the very darkest days of the war, and It did not appear to her fitting that the marriage should be celebrated with much expedition or display. All the money that could be spared was wanted to help the cause; while as to the wedding dress, she would not have dreamed of wearing Imported finery, even if she could have af forded it. She vowed she would be mar ried in homespun or not at all. Asaph'a Ideas were different. He was not willing to dispense with either feasting or fine clothes, and desired to make the wedding a grand occasion. A quarrel en sued, which ended by his declaring obsti nately that a wife should submit to the au thority of her husband, and that he should expect his bride to stand up before the parson ln-a silk- gown and .nothing less. "A bride, sir, Is not yet a wife," was the girl's reply, and Tipon that they parted. It was but a few days before the wed ding. During the Interval Abigail refused to see her lover, sending word that she was busy with the preparation of her wedding outfit. This Asaph complacently accepted as evidence of submission to his will. The silk dress was no doubt in hurried process of preparation, he thought. The day arrived and the hour of the ceremony, but to the groom's anger and confusion, his bride appeared before the assembled company in a plain cotton gown, a kitchen apron, her slewes rolled up and her hands floury from the kneading trough! "Will you take me as I am?" she asked, with a courtesy. "Never!" shouted the groom, and left the house. Not In the least disconcerted, the fair Abigail smiled Invitingly at Ashel, who, plucking up his courage, stepped without a word Into the place vacated by hjs brother, and they were parried there and then. Moreover, they "lived happy ever after," quite in fairy-tale srjle, de spite the dubious promise afforded by the lady's temper. Asaph remained a bache lor till his death. ; Mnst Prepare 40,000 Meals.
