These people come to the opera in the subway and on the surface cars, not in automobiles. They wear su ficient clothing, but of a kind not cal- culated to distract the attention of their neighbors. They listen to the music intelligently and with every evi- dence of sincere enjoyment. They do acts, but study their programs and i- brettos or discuss the performance with animated enthusiasm No opinion has yet been publicly ex- pressed hy this element in our popula- tion, None is necessary.
