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. It was pro
duced in this city, at the old Bungalow theatre, about five years ago. shortly
after its premier in New York. Those who heard the miniature work were
much Impressed Wolf-Ferrari's production are a combination, it might be
said, of the German (Wagner) and the Italian, (Puccini) styles. The overture,
like the opera, is not of great length.

I wrote of his work to a friend In 1878. "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."
The symphony is scored for piccolo, two flutes, two oboes, two clarinets,
two bassoons, four horns, two trumpets, three trombones, bass tuba, kettle
drums, bass drum, cymbals, triangle and the strings.
3 Ballet Suite from the Opera "Cephale et Procris," GretryMottl.
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.
HIS composition seems to transport one to the Scotch highland
1 hears the aDDroach of the regiment
regiment halts the din stops abruptly and from it creeps a beautiful love
theme announced by the English horn, which is not a horn, but a member of
the oboe or double reed family. The flute take up the melody. Again the
regiment moves with lively step to the village fete, where the merrymakers
dance a lively gigue. 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. Waldemax Llnd Is the conductor and Henry Bettman

HOLDING ONE'S TONGUE
By a Very Wise Person.
"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!"

John Adams, the second president,

of an unpopular one I rannojsay."
A prite of $500 was offered In Washington's-
administration for the best
