This is said to be one of Mr. Barries charming' pecifliarities an unexpected strength, which would be weakness in less skillful hands. It is evident that Mr. Barrie in The Professors Love Story had no intention to write a story with intricate plot or striking' situations mo desire to color the atmosphere with hurried movement, impatient to reach a climax. Had he done either, his delightful comedy would be an absurd farce, full unbridled horse-plaIndeed, 'Mr. Barrie has so persistently avoided the conventional as to raise the suspicion of having unduly courted the unconventional.

The most admired selections were, Loves Dream After the Ball and Wagners bridal chorus from Lohengrin the first, a surging, billowy, musical foam of dreamy melody, that danced in lacy flutters over a rainbow sea of sweetest harmony. Wagners bridal chorus from Lohengrin was all too short, for just as the band had begun to load the air with musical orange blossoms, it was over over before our ears had even gathered a tiny boquet of the melodious blossoms.
