west you turn off at the first main road
to the right, and In a few minutes you
come to tho home of Ignace Padsrew-
skl, the famous pianist. A most Impos
ing place Is this home of the Polish
artist, and a busy one, too, for It Is
said that Paderewski does not know
what It means to rest. He entertains
friends continually. There are always
people staying at the Paderewski home.
They do precisely as they please. No
ono sees the pianist except at luncheon
and dinner. Those who have never seen
Paderewski at home cannot realize the
enormous vltullty of the man. His
s lrlts seem never to flag, his energies
never to tire.
Not far from Paderewskl's home Is
the Flonzaley villa, the summer home
of F. J. de Coppet, the founder of tho
now famous Flonzaley Quartet.
And now the Lake Qenova colony has
acqflred a new member, for Felix
Velngartner, the distinguished conduc
tor, has bought a villa, and has an
nounced his determination to settle down

From her home. Just before she sailed
or America, Madame Sembrich, who
Is to give a concert In Washington next
week, sent the following question to
American musical critics and the people
of the United States:
"Have the great master musicians
who compose operas that endure failed
to avail themselves of their greatest
opportunities for advancing the cuure
of music and betering mankind?
"There Is dire need," says Madame
Sembrich, "for operas that deal with
the beautiful Instead of tho tragic side
of life The aim of trus art Is beauty
Music, as one of the fine arts, should
strive for this Ideal Almost uniformly
the operas deal with the unsavory re
lations of the sixes. In this respect
music and the theme of the operas are
at oddr.
"This Inconsistency must be removed
before the opera will attain its hUhst
Ideal Tho theme must depict the big
gest and beat things In life. Instead
of the sordid trngcdlci of man'n In
humanity to woman Then the nunc
will aspire to and attain the loftiest
tllkhts of Imagination, where beauty
sits enthroned.
Urges Beautiful
Themes for Operas.
"There Is no reason why the com
poser cannot select beautiful themes as
the vehicle for his music. He Is under
no obligation, such as the playwright,
to catch the popular fancy, which at
present Is alleged to be Interested In
sex topics. His work endures for all
time, as witnessed bv the fact that the
operas vve use today have survived the
ages
"Opera need not Interpret life as It
Is If there Is anything to be gained
from a moral standpoint from such re
productions, the theater Is adequately
roverlmr this field. Opera should In
terpret life as It should be. From a
purely practical standpoint, there Is
need for a potent force In life that will
lift man up and out of himself. This
It seems to me Is the mission of opera,
whose music, the greatest inspirational
factor In life. Is allied with the con
science of man that hidden voice that
speaks to him from within of the
straight and narrow path to the Home

THE GOLDEN KEY.
FAIl up In the North country,
where the huge mountains wero
covered with tall pines and full
of dark caverns, thero lived In
the depths of the forest a lot of llttlo
men called Trolls. They wero full of all
kinds of evil pranks and would do all
sorts of mischief about the neighbor
hood. On moonlight nights one could
hear them singing their wild songs in
the woods.
Halma was a little shepherd nho
lived with his mother In a cottage on
th side of a mountain Sometimes be
would catch sight of a Troll darting
ubout In the forest, yet they never
bothered the boy at all. But one even
ing on his return from the field his
mother told him a great piece of news
the king's fair, young daughter had
ben stolen. The day before sho had
ridden out alone In the forest and had
never returned. The old king was al
most wild with grief, and said ho would
give a hundred bags of gold and the
hand of the girl to anyone who would
bring her home.
The next morning as Halma lay on
the grass watching tho cloud ships
sail by he noticed an ugly old Troll In
the bushes. Walking on the moss so
he could not be heard, tho boy followed
very quietly as the little man tripped
about down the stony path, and as the
wee fellow's dress was of bright green
and trimmed with scarlet, it showed up
very plainly against the forest trees,
and It was easy to keep him In sight.
Suddenly the Troll vanished from
view as if swallowed up Into tho ground,
and Halma found on looking that the
gnome had disappeared Into a cave
whose entrance was hidden by a. wild
grape vine that hung In heavj; clusters
about a large rock In the side of a cliff.
The bov crept through tho dark pas
sage following Just behind the Troll In
the dim light he Baw a golden key drop
out of the little man's pocket, so he
picked It up and hid It In his cap.
At last he came to the door to a large
room cut In the rock, and within It
were several beautiful ladies sewing
Thej were seated on a hard bench and
their ees were red with weeping.
Around their ankles was a heavy chain
of silver, so they could not get awa.
"Hurry, you lazy things," cried the
Troll as he entered the chamber. "I
want those coats finished today," and
he swung a long whip of leather over
the heads of the ladles
Now, there was one among them that
Halma felt sure was the princess, for
he could see the print of a crown
around her forehead But he kept quiet
In the shadow of the door. Presently

the Troll began to snore as he lay 011
his couch, so Halma crept In softly, and
taking a thin bit of the vine, tied the
wicked Troll tightly to his bed. Halma
stood before the princess, and as he
took off his cap to bow, out fell thu
golden key.
"Oh! that Is the key to the lock 011
this sliver chain." cried the princess at
the sight of the glittering key.
"If that U so." said Halma In delight
"I will set you all free at once." Bo he
soon unlocked tho chain and the prln
teas and tho rest of the ladles were
free at last.
"Hide behind that cupboard," cried
Halma to the ladles, "t seo tho Troll
Is waking up "
With a grunt and groan the wicked
Troll opened his eyes and tried to get
up, but the harder he struggled, thi
tighter the lne held him.
"Tell me where ou keep the gold
vou have stolen and I will set you free
said the bo).
"In that chest the golden key opens
that, also, ' cried he So Halma and tho
print iss and the ladles each filled a
big basket with gold coins out of the
Troll's chest. Waiting till the women
had gotten at least a mile from th.
case, the boy cut the Troll's vines that
held him a prisoner and then ran at full
speed himself. JUBt outside ho met a
party of the king's soldiers and showed
thm where to find the Troll, so tho
could take him to prison. Then he ran
on till he Joined th princess and helped
her find her way back to the palace
There was a great rejoicing when tin
king saw his daughter again, and a
big feast when Halma and the princess
were married the following week. And
In the wicked Troll's cave they found
at least a thousand bushels of gold
which was given to the poor people of
the land on the princess' wedding dav
