TODAY'S SYMPHONY 1 Orerture to the Interlude 'The 4? HE SECRET OF SUZANNE" ia one of the latest operatic creations, hav ing been written by the Austrian-Kalian modern composer but a few years ago. It Is an opera without a chorus and Intended for an all star casC though some of the parts ar of rather minor importance.

"The opening theme. 1 horns and bassoons." he says, "sounds the Fate, the fatal power which hinders one in the pursuit of happiness. "The second movement shows another phase of sadness. Here is that melancholy feeling which enwraps one when he sits at night alone in the house, exhausted by work: the book which he has taken to read nas slipped from his hand; a swarm of reminiscences has arisen. "There is no determined feeling, no exact expression in the third move ment. Here are the capricious arabesques, vague figures which slip Into the imagination. The mood is now gay, now mournful. One thinks about noth ing, one gives the fancy loose reins, and there is pleasure in drawing of marvel ous lines. Disconnected pictures come and go. They are bizarre. "The fourth movement is a picture of a folk holiday. Scarcely have you forgotten yourself before untiring Fate other children or men are not concerned wun you. i ney neiiner see nur iem that you are lonely and sad. How they enjoy themselves, how happy they are! Rejoice in the happiness of others and you can still live."

UNUSUAL, interest attaches to this suite, owing to the fame of both com poser and arranger. Gretry was called "the Mollere of Music" by his con temporaries, and founded the school of French comedy opera of which Boieldieu, Auber and Adams have been such distinguished members. He was born at Liege, Belgium, September 24. 1813. He was a prolific composer, having produced some 50 operas, a large amount of church music, six symphonies, pro logues, divertissements, piano sonatas and string quartets. The suite consists of three numbers, taken from the opera "Cephale et Procris." It is a story of a husband testing his wife's constancy. Felix Mottl arranged the numbers with more modern orchestration. -March, "Ecoassaise," by Debussy.

In this work, Debussy, the modern French writer, again shows his mastery in orchestration. The concert is at the Eleventh Street theatre, and begins promptly at 3 o'clock this afternoon.

"It Is the little rift within the lute," sang Tennyson, "which, by and by, shall make the music mute." And It Is the Kittle quarrels, the disagreement allowed to multiply and prolong them selves, that end by spoiling married life altogether, and make havoc and ruin of what began with auch fair promise. Some people seem to hold the oplno ion of an old F.ngltsh ballad. "The falling out of faithful hearts, renew ing Is of love." They think that quar rels, ma'le up, draw people closer to gether; but this 1b one of the greatest mistakes possible. Kvery quarrel makes it easier for the next to follow, and harder for the breach to heal. But after the first quarrel, all that is at an end. There is an unexpressed feeling that there Is nothing more to lose in respect and affection then this. The small barrier which has served to keep one's worst side In cheek ha been thrown down, and after this the won't side has it all Its own way. A friend of mine was once about to marry a widower whose first marriage had turned out an unhappy one. Ev erybody knew the cause had been the perpetual quarrels that went on be tween himself and hl wife, and when my friend asked me to wish her Joy, I am afraid I did it In & half-hearted kind of way. My friend noticed it, for she wag very quick, and she rather took me aback by saying, quietly: "I see you don't think It verv much a matter or congratulation. you are thinking of Harry's last attempt. But I mean mine to turn out very differ ently." "How are you going to Insure that?" I Bked. "Easily enough. Harry and Ma first wife were neither of them Ill-tempered people. They nly got Into a con firmed habit o wrangling because neither would give In to the other. Now. I am goflng to try quite a dif ferent method. It takes two to make a quarrel. I am not going to be the second. If Harry finds I never re spond, he will soon give up his fool ish habit of squabbling." Aa she had prophesied, he soon be gan to find quarreling a poor amuse ment, and, having no one to argue with, he gradually got out of his ar gumentative ways. When I used to remark to his wise little wife on the success of her course of treatment, she only smiled and said, quietly: "Ah, if people only knew what a se cret of happiness lies in holding one's tongue!"
