Here in the Carolinas we are having, this week of crisis, a convention of tourist agents. Two hundred of them from all parts of the country loll on terraces of inns and country clubs, sipping mint juleps which obsequious landlords provide.

In & around an acoustically perfect, wedge-shaped $80,000 pavilion (called with New England sobriety a "Music Shed"), which rises on the greensward at Tanglewood, where Nathaniel Hawthorne once wrote, visiting Boston Brahmins and socialites, whether lying down or sitting...
