WITHOUT being in any way adventurous or even inordinately rich, one can nowadays travel all over Europe by air on well-organized, smoothly-running routes. Miss Simpson went from London to Paris (that is to say, their respective air ports— Croydon and Le Bourget), thence by Basle to Zurich. The next day's trip was by Munich to Vienna, and the rest of her tour included Prague, Dresden, Berlin, and Amsterdam. Her account of this flying visit to six different countries makes very interesting hearing for those of us whose travels are normally performed on a quieter scale.

WE all like Weber for his dramatic power, his effective use of the Orchestra, and his soaring tunes. He was uncommonly successful in catering, in the early nineteenth century, for the tastes of his country-men, which were for operas built on the legends and folk-talcs they loved -with, of course, a good .spice of romantic and chivalrous deeds and of homely sentiment. It was an excellent recipe, and Weber cooked some splendid dishes from it. The Marksman is perhaps the best of all his efforts on these lines. Tho melodies wo hear in its Overture— tender, gloomy, or menacing—come from the body of the work.
