Sir-The day has gone when the great artists cf the world had to cool their heels in draughty corridors waiting the favour of influential patrons. Thank God we realise that those great ones who bring us down fite from heaven are entitled to politeness and respect from their public. If they wisi to start punctually, we must be in our places, whether it means cutting a 7 o'clock dinner in London, a. 6 o’clock Abendessen in Leipzig, or an evening meal in New Zealand. "To-night at 8 o’clock"--punctually-has a great virtue in this country, as it means that the train, tram, or bus traveller can sit in peace to catch the last note, instead of rushing in agitation to miss the last bus.
