'MARY IX NEW MEXICO." by Constance Johnson. Price $1.50 net, !- h . . ; ( . .. Whn J was little (how often have you begun that?) I used to love the .RoUo .books. I those ' old fashioned stories of -travel ' com hlned ith the life of a little boy And JtiU' uncle, i Today, I enjoy travel story; book and I advocate them to U book lovers.

The operas are from Aida of;Verdi, II Trovatore, Barber of Seville, to Carmen and Tales of Hoffman, varied kinds of opera, retold. " f The most modern are "Madame Butterfly" and "Samson and'-Oe-lilan." - Each is told in a charm ing style. At Is not only a delight to a child but the older person who wishes to know the simplified operatic story bereft of its music. Here it is held up to the imagina tive eye with the beauty of its col or of story. This "aoofe rills a long felt want. Books of opera stories have been more technical, more appealing to the adult mind, while here Is a comprehensive group of fifteen operas . which you all should know. The list is Aida, Barber of Seville, Carmen. Faust, La Juive, Lohengrin, Lucia, But terfly, Paggliacci, Parsifal, The Prophet, Romeo and Juliet, dam son.

We cannot hare too much under standing or appreciation of good music. The world needs its touch and such a book fills require ments. You wander with Lohen grin and : Elsa in fancy, you see the lovely Marguerite, you hear Carmen's castanets and Pagliacci's lament as he pours oul; his soul You travel In fancy with these opera characters and you find yourself at home in their midst.
