"Carmen" and Calve. . Again Madame Calve and Signor Gasp«rri, to say. nothing of M. Jacques Pintel,: appeared in Wellington, this time in the Opera House. ■• From >the moment M, Pintol, iiuobirusive as a phantom, slips upon the stage, to the last "Adieu" of; Carmen, in the scene whore she throws Don Jose over, one is filled.with delight. Wonderful as Calve appeared on the previous night of her performance in- Wellington, without. any .of the accessories of; tlie operatic stage to add to the effect of, her presence and singing, it was as nothing to what she was like '• in "Carmen,", with the dress, and scenery of the part. There one saw a "Carmen" never yet. surpassed,-and one. sat and marvelled at the revolatiou given one. ■ It was a i Carmen daring, diabolic, bewitching, and altogether maddening with a mag-

netism and li fire that was simply indescribable.'. The. marvellously 'expressive -face'was almost-exceeded, in its expressiveness, by l her hands, which seemed able to' ? cpnrey,^«.,yery.thing—almost ..to* theinselyes. :It was .absolutely .fascihatV ihg, to;watch,them as they played about Don.Jose's head,' wayed their absolute disregard;, of ..everything,,. or ,«lse i.played with the wonderful lace,, mantilla she woroj and which she used ;witli"suoli'devastating effect to the: peace of mind of Don Jose. - Signer Gasparri was a very handsome Don.Jose,;who completely carried his' audience-.with' hiin, an audienoa that could not hear '<■ too much of him, and did not scruple to. ask, for more. .It is,not afflicted by. modesty-in its \ demands -a AVellington; audience." It is really, paying .such a. compliment■', to the' singer when! it asks for more that the ; singer./should; recognise it as such. However, it" was impossible to, ]ielp asking! for more' from such a singer, as" Sig-. nor. Gasparri: No matter how delightful/may. be the playing'of a.pianist, he or she would | always be thrown, into the background by being nssociated with 6uch people; as. the two singers;. ' But.all, the same, M; Pintel's playing was something that, in listening to. one would, always long for more and inpre. It s'Bemed;.as' tkougll' bis accompaniments must be absolutely perfection. , ; ~;■': .' In' Madame C'alve's first '• .appearance she .wore ..an.'. overdress of' black - beaded net that glittered and glinted with every movement,; over a black transparent under-dress -mounted upon blue silk, the pointed bodice being edged with gold embroidery; With this she wore a black transparent scarf with a .'gold::border. As Carmen her dress ,was magnificent. Black and gold, shimmering and sparkling with, a.bip.ck lace mantilla, -which', she,.wore.-and; used-.with'■ consummate': grace. She looked, a gorgeous figure..

-Miss Jessie Newenham left.Wellington, on Friday for Wanganui in order to be present at the College Old Boys' ball: Mrs. Francis Stevens, of Oriental Bay, has issued, invitations for an "at,homo" to take place oh Thursday, September 22. ;The Wanganiii College Old Boys' ,ball ! took place oh Friday evening (says bur local correspondent).and,-,as .usual, was a-'very.. largely-attended function, being: in every way a complete success. Miss B;' Putnam was presented on Saturday .evening with a gold brooch set with pearls' and turquoises' by. the girls of the Karori Ward ,as a mark, of' their, appreciation, oi' the .time .and. trouble she had spent 1 in preparing tiheni, for the pageant.

Blow, Sighbr Truda, and Mr. Medhurst, while several, items were -given by the Petone Orchestra.. ... „' ' Tho Ancients had all sorts of strange traditions and fables . concerning the Bloom, of Youth and tlie Fountain, of -Youth!
