"Music and Bad Manners" Is the in terest-compelling title by which Carl Van Vechten introduces a new volume of essays on subjects related to music. now at the Public Library. One's first guilty thought is that Mr. Van Vechten is about to assail the hardened concert "public" in time-honored fashion, for "lack of appreciation," "inattention," "no discrimination in applause," "vul garity of taste" and other misdemean ors so common as to be reduced to a formula. One . braces himself with tightly . shut, eyes for the onslaught, but how is this? It is the artists themselves who are arraigned for 111 manners! . He. says: "As a matter of fact, once- an artist reaches the plat form he is on his mettle, at his best. At home he or she may be ruthless in his passionate display of "tempera ment. . I have seen a. soprano throw a Ipork. roast on the. floor, at dinner, the which reveals the genealogical deceits practiced by some prominent families of that city to gain membership in the Daughters of the Revolution, the Col onial Dames, etc Mr. Shelley is a prominent member of the Sons of the Revolution, the Colonial Society and other organizations whose membership is limited to those ' of distinguished pedigree; and It is said he had access to their files in getting some of his ma terial.

Par sifal!' An amusing incident is told of a production of 'Carmen' in which a highly temperamental young singer 'refused' to allow Don Jose to kill her. Round and round the stage she ran while the perspiring tenor tried in vain to catch her. At length, the music of the score being concluded, the. curtain fell on a 'Carmen' still alive. It is related of Von Bulow that he once - stopped his orchestra at a public performance to remonstrate with a woman using a fan. in the front row of seats. 'Madame,' he said grave ly, 'I must beg you to cease fanning yourself in three-four time while I am conducting in four-four time!' " Other essays in this volume are: "Music for the Movies," "Spain and Music," "Shall We ' Realize Wagner's Ideals?" "The Bridge Burners," "A New Principle in Music," "Leo Ornstein." "Idylls of the South Sea," charming songs for low voice by the composer of Indian songs Charles Wakefield Cadman, the words by Nellie Richmond Eberhart, is a collection just received at the Public Library. , The outstanding feature of the re ception of the state P.
