Kountze's name appeared on the pro
gram but her part consisted of a modest
stepping on and off the stage as she ac
companied some of the singers. After
all wealth is a selfish sort of divinity
that hedges one in pretty closely. The

wealthy people to do the places where
they must not go rather, on the whole,
reconciles me somewhat to the bohe
inian existence of such people as Pene

much because they are nobody in par
ticular. No one would say of me, "Dear
sakee! what a ehabby-Iooking umbrella
Penelope M is carrying" or ''Isn't
that the same old blue broadcloth she
has worn so long with a new vest in it?"
But Mrs. K or Mrs. C couldn't
afford such independence. They dare
not wear even artfully redone old clothes
or pick up a shabby paraBol. By no
means! Because their position demands

Eleanor? Mr. Moody, an export from
Des Moines for the concert, rather out
sang any of our home tenors in sweet
ness and ease of tone productions, which
was sufficient for one or two of our crit
ics to camp on his trail with their nice
ly sharpened tomahawks.
However, so long as Mr. Moody can
sing and obviously please such an audi
ence as he went before that Monday
night, he can afford to glide over the
tender quality there which makes her
friends wherever she Bings. Another
proof of my belief that personality goes
a long way in the assistance of singers.
Lumbard'e benefit was a triumph of
art and friendship, and to put it in a
thoroughly sordid way, art and friend
ship paid for once. It wasn't just a glit
tering show of swell gowns, flowers and
applause, but a solid testimonial which
can not help being a great satisfaction
to the veteran singer and his friends.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean has been
making merry over our aristocracy.
Don't you think they're real mean?
They deck their front pages with apoplectic-looking
figures purporting to be
some of our leading citizens with impos
sible trousers on, supposed to be the
handiwork of London tailors. It the
supposition is correct the afore men
tioned tailors ought to "go hang." Why
aren't our own clothes good enough for
us, our native toggery of buckskin,
flannel shirts and a handily swung six
shooter? That would relieve many of
our banqueters from the haunting fear
that their trousers lack the approved
set. Why can not we be law unto our
selves? Why should New York forever
turn longing eyes to Paris, Chicago to
New York, Omaha to Lincoln or Ward
McAllister to London? Why are the
things beyond our reach so tempting,
those we have so disquieting? "The
woolly west," under the impression that
it has accustomed itself to the barber
and his tortuous mode of civilization
and sends to Council Bluffs for its boots,
has grown a trifle weary of furnishing
subject matter for the comical papers of
the effete east and finds one of the
"blows that almost killed father" in the
fact that a supposedly dignified journal
like the "Inter-Ocean" devotes so much
