EVIDENTLT the opera, the aviation
meet and muslcales do not come
under the caption of forbidden
frivolities, during the penitential pe
riod, as the week of Italian opera, the
flights made by Charles K Hamilton,
the Maud Powell concert and the
Kllngenbergr recitals gave conclusive
proof. The operas presented were the
old time favorites of which the musi
cally hungry never tire, and the com
paratively new one, "Madam Butterfly,"
the story of dramatic poignancy, based
on the picturesque possibilities of Jap
anese life. Apropos of the opera, the
splendid orchestration at times was
completely lost by the applause ten
