Profits Jo Operas. The Metropoirtan Opera house di rectors in Xev,' York, though onl> halfway through the current season, are enabled already to forsee a balance on the right side of the led ger for the first time in four years, notes the Washington Herald. In f;u■^ the season's net profits are es timated, upon the strength of ti'ust- worthy data, at some $250,000. This is the direct result of the removal ot Oscar Hammerstein from the operat ic field in .\merica. Thte, that was an expensive move, costing the rival house $750,(too, bur nevertheless the authorities at the head of the Metro politan Opera house are convinced of ihe wisdom of the step. This concentration of the operatic management in this country is to be followed by financial read.pistment. Profiting by the capable administra tion oi the opera managers nt Chi cago. the Xe'v York directors are beginning to institute a careful sur vey to discover opportunities for pracicable economies. Too many stars have boon engaged. It is said that the group of t'xpensive tenors is to be the fi:>.t to fee Ithe effects of re trenchment. Fewer wiil be employed, and they are expected to take up lower salaries, I.ike reforms among the lesser lights and soloists are to follow. Providing that there is to be no lowering of tiie artistic stamlard. a greater husbandittg of finances will lie welcomed. And as for .Mr. Ham- merstein. while he may have cost other people money, it must be ad mitted he was an admirable pace- nuiker. MRS. FIN AYSON’S MONDAY.

M. As long as there are two Scotchmen left on earth, when the 25th of January comes around they will fane gather and sing the songs of Burns—and for all that they will be Presbyterian’s termed elders, either in fact or in the making—Tney’ll “Tak a cup o’ kindnedd yet For Auld L’ang S\%e”. The poetry of Robert Burns is of a quality so clear and imdefiled by any mysti^-ism that it is its own best essay on his work. .It is this great simplicity of theme and style which more than any thing else, aside from the man’s sheer genius, won for him his undis puted place as the Poet laureate of Scotland for all time, and that so final ly and distinctively, that one can not even conceive of his hold, ever being shaken. It is therefore a difficult task to write imtch to much purpose on so clear a theme. Of the personality of the man him self there is no end of writing, l^nfor- tuiiately for him, but fortunately for Scotland and the w’orld. the man was so very human that so long as a tradi tion lingers of him new side lights will play upon his life. 1 know of no belter key note to the inspiration which lay behind all the best that Burns wrote, than the simple but touching little incident told by all his biogra))hers, of his first excursion abroad, how when he ciossed to the English shore he turned his face to- word liome, -iTid kneeling in the sand with tears streaming from his eyes, he quoted the last immortal verses of his t)wn gloat ])oem. and prayed God to bless his native laud. Every thing that lived on. or grew on Caledonian soil was his insniration, and out of the stubborn land which gave liim. back so niggardly a return ani in the end well nigh broke his heart, in his moments of inspiration he drew the tiiemes which will give him literary immoiiality. A mouse i)0])S out bet’ore his plough, or a daisy is overturned. In a flash what has hap pened a thousand times before has be come immortal. But it is always a Scotch mouse or a Scotch daisy. The very breath of the soil has become part of. the boy and never leave the man. When he gets away from his na tive themes, one may almost .iudge the quality of his work by the departure, and while the true Burns touch will creep out the motive, seems lacking in proportion to the alien theme. In reading Nancy Stair one is in a constant quandary as to how much is truth and how much is fiction, espec ially where Burns comes in. But Nancy strikes a key note when she and Burns are alternating their rhymes— "The hours drunk in love’s golden wine Unheeded one another chased” “Ah.” cries Nancy, “that’s the Burns’ touch I I could never have done that.” And capabte as we feel her to be, we know it is true. If there is no more of the genuine Burns in the story— that is Burns. It is this lyric gift that is his great est. wliere all are great. The The ■•Cotter's Saturday Night” will always 1)0 regarded as a flashlight picture of the heart of Scotland, the very glimpse of the corner-stone of her racial great ness. "From scenes like these old Scots’s giandeu^’ springs.” and from this foun dation of homely piety and rugged manly faith, through out all the world vxhere ever the Scotch have gone, na tions have derived one of the elements of their strength. As if in very prod igality ol genius the same pen can turn to and write “Tam O’ Shanter” in an afternoon. But Burns’ greatest gift to man is his lyric' themes. It is pitiful to know that many of his greatest and sw'eetest songs were written when debt and sickness were crowding him closest. Yet it is a delight to know that they were written with no thought of re ward. They were his free gilt to Scot land and all over the world where ever his tongue is known, those songs are the solace and delight of niHlions many ot whom never know their origin. Some of his most scathing are ahiKjst, some altogether, ribald. We can almost pardon the altogether when we think of the w^ay a man o£ his very human faults and failings must have chafed under the stern re pression of his surroundings. It was Scotland in which he lived, and a Scotland at that, w^hich still bieathed the very breath of Calvin and of Knox. That he could realise the greatness in this stern creed, his “Saturday Night”—is an everlasting proof. But his keen vision could also see the other side, the complement of this, and woe to thee “Boanerges Storm thunder “who dared his dis pleasure! That he could see behind the godly cloak the hypocrite and the sham, we can understand. But the Scotland of his time, his own part of it, cou4d not. Misunderstanding was never a sooth ing draught for genius, and if it made his satire at times almost unlicensed, w-e can but know the provocation was great. But his son.gs are free—Liike Shake speare, he took his owm wiiere ever he found it, and by the magic of his genius he left all that w'as Avorlh while in the minstrelsy of Scotland sweet and inire. To the last his mind was on his native ballads. Many w^ere w^ritten in the dark days of the close of his brief life. Yet in the higher plane of his mental life, no clouds of fortune seem to have cast their shadow. Those old Scotch ballads, just as they came from under his hands: “Whose fragrance lies in many lands, Whose beauty stir» the eart^ and lights the hearths of happy homes With loveliness and mirth.” will always be his greatest claim to a place among the immortals. , ^ GUESTS DEPART.

To the Civics Department of the Wo man's Club: Being aware of your interest and ac tivity in many matters looking to the | and published in South Carolina notes betterment of the community, I beg leave to call your attention to a line along which it seems to me you might labor with eminent prosperity and to considerable advantage, to wit: the improvement of the manners of some of the w'omen of this city. I have special reference to their con duct in public places, such as the theatre box office window and the post office windows, where it is sustomary for people to line up and await their respective turns, according to the pri ority of their arrival, in order that the ends of fairness and good order may be attained. I have observed this display of bad manners by well dressed and apparent ly intelligent women on such occasions until I am moved to make this protest in behalf of myself and others who are afraid to speak out lest they inctir the everlasting displeasure of the fair sex, and w'ho. therefore, have resolved to suffer on in silence. To be more specific, on Wednesday morning I went to the box office at the Academy of Music for the purpos'e of purchasing tickets for my wife and myself to see Mis’s Viola Allen. Al though it was long before the time for the window to be opened, I was compelled to take my stand at the end of the long and tortuous line that w'ound and doubled upon itself until it almost filled the large hallway upon which the box office opens. When fin ally the hour arrived and the line be gan to progress. I, as did others wiio felt the justice of fair play, began to watch the conduct of certain of the fair sex w'ho were unwilling to take their place in line to await their turn as all the men and office boys and most of the ladies had done. It was interesting to w-atch them, these buttinskies. One w'ould come in with her furs and trinkets and bags and things. She’d look around at the line as much as to say, “That’s not my w^ay of doing. The very idea of expecting an import ant personage like me to get in place and wait till my time comes like com mon people.” And then her manoeuvers would commence. She’d sidle up close to the head of the line and stand for a while, edging up a little closer every tinie she could. After a few minutes of this sort of business she would be in a fair w'ay to claim she’d been there all the w^hile, and then w'hen some poor little henpecked fellow whose powers of restraint had been worn out long ago would come into place it was an easy matter for Miss Buttinski to shove her gloved hand across under his nose and call for her tickets. Of course he couldn’t resist such a usurp ation of his rights, as he was used to that at home, and then, besides, his turn was next anyhow-, and the easiest w^ay to get rid of her was to let her get her tickets and get out of the way. But how' about us fellows way downi the line who saw’ this repeated over and over again, and saw our ow'n seats getting farther and farther back all the while? By what right has a w'oman the priv ilege of butting in ahead of a w’hole line of well-mannered people and de manding that she has the right to be waited on first? A man wouldn’t dare do it. The messenger lx>s and office boys have better manners. The women who do it are not those w’^ho do not know any better, wiio have never been in such a place before. They are those who have been pampered and petted until they actually think everybody should stand back when they see them coming. They are the same ones w^ho occupy as many seats in a railway train as they can spread out over w’hile members of their own sex are stand ing for want of "a place to sit down. It has been, and I trust will ever be, a part of good breeding in the South for men to defer to ladies, such as giv ing up their seats on cars and show ing them courtisies whenever oppor tunity presents itself. This has been so universally the custom until some women have come to regard these courtesies on the part of gentlemen not as djeferences to the gentle sex but as an acknowiedgement of some right on their part, so that often they accept such courtisies as a matter of course without even saying, “Thank you.” I say it is up to, the Civics Depart ment of the Woman’s Club to take this matter up. Teach the women manners —I mean those who are lacking in that respect. If the men of the South ever forget their old-time courtesy to the fair sex in public places, it will be because of a lack of apperciation of such conduct by the beneficiaries. When the next important play comes to town. I hope the Civics Department will see that a policeman is stationed at the box o'ffice to make the w^omen stay in line. Now when I began this letter I fully intended to sign my own proper name thereto, but w'hen the time comes to do the deed. I can’t. I am afraid to. Whv should a man thus jeopardize his safety? Why should he put his life m peril? Why should he be a martyr to poor, worthless, henpecked mankind? No, I will not do it. I can only sub- the formation of a new committee in the general federation of women’s duds, this committee to encourage the formation of musical clubs. The article states: “The newf department of music of the general federation was created at the biennial of 1910, with Mrs. Law’ience Maxwell, of Ohio, chairman; Mrs. Fry- berger, of Minnesota, vice chairman, and Mrs. Duncan, North Carolina; Mrs. Howe, Iowa; Mrs. MacAllister, Rhode Island, members of the commit tee. “Mrs. Maxwell makes a plea for the formation of musical clubs and their membership in the general and state federations, and also for a standing committee on music in every state fed eration. She also asks for the best training in the public schools, and for w'orshipful music in churches, for the cultivation of the ‘speaking voice’ at home and in public, and for i Uuv of harmony in making programs by hav ing mutual selections appropriate .:o the subject matter, and not irapaiing its artistic untiy. Mrs. Maxwell “k- pects to offer through her department each month a specially ’pfej.'ared musi- on Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy, and is on file in The Keystone reciprocity bureau, and may be had upon apj)li- cation to The Keystone.” * « • Mrs. Rush Wray, one of the most enthusias'tic and brightest of the lo cal Woman's Club women, had rare privileges, as a club w^oman, during her stay in New Y'ork. As will be recalled the Woman’s Club was keenly inter ested in Chantecler last winter, Mrs. W. G. Rogers giving during the craze, a lovely Chantecler luncheon. It w'as but natural that Mrs. Wray’s first night in New York, should be spent in seeing Maude Adams in Ros tand’s famed work. “It w^as marvel- oiisly. done,” said Mrs. Wray, Other plays’ which she saw were, “Madame X,” with original cast; “Ma dame Sherry,” “The Blue Bird.” “The Gamblers,” Mrs. Leslie Carter in “Two Women,” “The Commuters.” Orand Opera, “Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm” and others. The Child’s Welfare Exhibit, at the 71st Regiment Armory, on Park ave nue, naturally interested Mrs. Wray, for, as a club woman she is interested in that kind of w'ork. She also visited, with an eye to getting information that would prove beneficial to her club, the Teachers’ College, Building of Household Arts, Morris High School, grammar schools and Kindergarten and National Arts Club. depot. Description of either, Mrs. Wray says, is impossible. Of buildings the greatest visited were the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, and the Pennj'slvania Railroad Two Women. It w^as at the Dixie Tea, at the Hotel Astor, however. , that Mrs. Wray had the most delightful social experience. It w-as there she met Dorothy Dix, the highest paid woman wirter in the Avoiid—in w'hom as a literaiw celebrit.v she w’as interested— and Mrs. May Wheat Shober, former ly of Salisbury, but for some years of New’ York, and one of this state’s most cultured, charming and distin- giushed daughters. The Dixie Tea w'^as given by the Southern Society of New York, and the Invitations Included Southern w’omxen or those having Southern connections by marriage. There were 200 present. Mrs. Wray had never met Mrs. Shober before. In describing her. she said: “She was the most quaintly beaut'ifuK w’oman I ever saw\ Her features are exquisite, her gowning artistically elegant, her manner the perfection of repose and elegance, and her hair—with her little curls falling over her ears, the admira tion of all. She is one of the most distinguished looking women I ever met.” D. A. R. COLUMN. Thos. Polk chapter, D. A. R., will meet twice next month—February 2nd and February 22nd.

In her pretty home on North Poplar street, Mrs. Ben Smith played hostess yesterday afternoon to the new bridge club—the Saturday After noon. She confined her hospi tality to the members of the club—Mesdames W. B. Ryder, J. V. A. Weaver, H. A. London, G. R. Alexander, Jr., Margaret Kelly Aber- nethy, Minnie Wriston Smith and E. N. Chisholm. The H^pin^Problem. A Brooklyn professor has so impress ed the public safety committee of the Federation of Women’s Clubs with the hope that he has perfected a contriv ance w’hich does away with the peril of the hatpin that he has been asked to make a second demonstration be fore the full body of the federation in February, when it meets in the Ho tel Astor, in New York, says the Washington Herald. His device con sists of a small metal disk with a hole in the center. This disk is screwed into the side of the hat by means of a short spiral wire, and becomes a per manent fixture on the hat. The pin is put through the hole in the disk, lock ing against it by means of a metal spring. The disk and the soring hole the pin firmly in place, so that it does not have to be long enough to pierce through the hat on the other side. A woman reporter of a Brooklyn ria- per says that the contrivance “fits the crime,” It is claimed that by means of it a w’oman can put on and secure her hat in a few seconds, the pin is bound to stay, the hat is not mutilat ed with holes, and the pin holds the hat to the head as securely as by the present dangerous fashion. Not the least of these advantages, says the in ventor, is to shorten the time it takes a w'oman to put on her hat. l.et us hope that the hat pin problem, which has been w’orrying the city gov ernment and state legislatures, has at last been placed in the way of right solution. Certain it is that the number less pafents already granted seem clumsy, cumbersome, or impracticable, and that not one of them has appealed to w’omankind. Perhaps the Brooklyn prefessor hac rucceeded in conferring a boon on suif- ering humanity. confederate COLUMm * ♦ North Carolina Dauch-, interested in the follo^-;n >' ' - Mrs. A. R.
