By the Way—
I ■ ■ Befjs Blaine -—
'J'HERB was certainly a royal turnout last evening at the first of the Water
Gate concerts. Every seat was taken in the reserved section and the step*
*nd both bridges were crowded with genuine music lovers, it was unfortunat*
that the found apparatus had not arrived, for there were a few times when !»
was almost Impossible to hear the music, but knowing that the loud speakers,
or whatever the missing equipment is called, will be Installed before the next
concert on Wednesday, the audience took the whole matter most kindly.
The bank of the Potomac by the Memorial Bridge is decidedly
an ideal setting for outdoor Summer concerts. The elements were
particularly thoughtful last night, the rain, predicted for the past
few days, held off and a most delicious, fresh breeze fanned our faces
as we relaxed, enjoying the strains of familiar works of Beethoven
and Wagner.
There were two ladies there, sitting directly in front of us, however, who
became a little flustered. They arrived in good season in polka dots and
flowered chiffon, carrying the pads which they had hired at the gate, pocket
books, gloves and all their Sunday newspapers. They also were wearing
very modish, but extremely large hats. With a great deal of precision
they placed their various articles on various portions of adjoining chairs.
They then spread the pads, aettled themselves firmly on a chair and a half
apiece and commenced to fan themselves wlh their newspapers In a most
dignified manner.
As there were many people coming in who could not find seats, certain
annoyance spread among the surrounding spectator*, particularly in a woman
sitting next to ua, who looked demure, but who had, nevertheless, a determined
glint in her eye. First there was a rquest that their hats be removed, which
caused some confusion due to hair nets, pince nez and a hundred and one
other little knick-knacks. This, however, was only the opening gun. During
the pause between the andante con moto and the allegro of the Beethoven
“Fifth Symphony" our neighbor spied a middle-aged man of comfortable
build with a distracted and lost look in his eye. Though separated by several
rows from her, she firmly beckoned him to one of the four seats occupied by
the dominating ladies. Protesting against embarrassing the ladles, he was
nevertheless forced by a co-operating surrounding group to sit down. Con
fusion was terrific 1 Pads, newspapers, glasses and other paraphernalia had
to be collected and resettled! The final blow arrived, however, when, after
quiet had been restored and the orchestra was playing the opening bars of
the next movement, the gentleman turned around, still with a perplexed
look in his eye, and said in a loud stage whisper, “I'm not looking lor a seat,
you know: I'm looking for my daughter.-'
