It was great fun a all successful first night are, with Ui how packed to suffocation and much applause and many flowers, A rather pretty Incident was when . Wolf-Ksrrarl and Campanlnl kissed! each other, along about th tenth recall after th first act. I append for thou who are Interested attract from Glen Dlllard Uunn'a snj Felix Borowskl s criticisms: Th American premier of Wolf-Ferrari's opera, "Th Jewel of the Ma donna." took place last night in the Auditorium before one of the season brilliant audiences. Entirely apart from th world-wide interest that attaches to th first American production of the work of a ' European composer of not, Ihe event achieved that artistic importance that belongs to the worthy presentation of a masterpiece. The triumph that re sulted for the composer who was present the oonductor. the- director, and the principals need not be discounted in this Instance, because of th hysterical excite ment thst obtains on such ocoasions. but nisy stand as the verdict of the public. Th reception accorded the Wolf-Ferrari novelty was second only In demon strative enthusiasm to the success of ".Natoma." the reason for the difference lying, probably, In Ihe fact that our public understands English better than iiwisfi. oioaaumi in vuriain vena alio demands for repetitions, the approval of last night's audience gslned Impressive dimensions. The composer, the principal. tlie conductor, the director and the stage manager were called before the curtain ten times after the first act and as msny times after the second. The preludes to the second and third acts hnd to be re peated. Also there were rumerous floral tributes for all concerned. "Tit Jewels of th Madonna" Is th significant opera of the decade. It merits this distinction by reason of the beauty and dramatie truth of the music, Ihe vivid realism of th action, th pathos of its culminating tragedy. The beauty, of th mualc is (he pur beauty of . melody. Wolf-Ferrari has restored to I the art that simplicity and directness of. be- Maaical Nate. The Royal Welsh Ladles' chotr will sing at the Auditorium on Thursday evening. January S. under the auspices or ( lan ticrdon. or the inner or scottisn Clans. This I the anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, and the ooncert will be in th way of a celebration of the event. It Is the custom of Clan Uordon to observe this da.'s each year br a concert and a ball, but It has never uetortaken th event on so large a scale. Th Royal Welsh Ladies' choir Is on of tho famous choral organisations of Great British and haa been making a tour of America this season for th first time. It Is a splendid musical organi sation, and haa been wonderfully well received everywhere. It la composed of twenty voices, of whom a number are charming soloists. . In addition to th choir aom aeleeted local talent will take part In th concert.

' KEY TO LASTING BEAUTY "If h American mmes-deslre longev. ity and to retain their youth, enjoy per ennial beauty and comfort, mentally as wolf a physically, they should: "Adopt certain fashions of dress.

Alio they should forego all ambition In politics, for politics Is not for women.: 'Therefor there should be no suffrage: beoaus women are not men' equal, but their superiors In their own' sphere." The statements ' were made by Dr. Ignaxo Nltobe, president of th First Na tional government college of Japan, sit uated at Toklo, who spoke at th convo cation of th University of Chicago. . Pr.

Th subject chiien by the Japanese scholar for his Chicago talk waa 'The Influence of America In Japan." "I cannot ate any reason for women being in politics." said Dr. Nltobe. "Th sphere ef women I the home; the spread ing discontent, th prevalence Of nervous disease among women and the general unrest In America are due .to th fact that women think they will find their work outaid of their borne.

The southeast corner haa sunk a trlfl more than half a meter: the nortbwect corner has gone down 1.0KA meter; th northeast corner has sunk gilt and the southwest corner gW3 meter.
