One Of the neatest promenade COS
tunes we have lately seen is a dress, a
deux iupes of alpaca or merino. The
lower skirt is trimmed at the bottom by
three double bias bands of cerise silk
between each of which are two narrow
rOuleaux. The upper skirt is open en-
unique in front, and is caught up at each
side by 8 group of BOWS of cerise ribbon.
It is edged by a single band of cerise silk,
with a r~ouleaux at each side. The corsage
is open in front, with revers and q narrow
collar Of cerise silk. 1t has also a deep
squsre-shsped basque open in front, with
revers turned back; there is an opening al
each side, and at the back the basque
forms two points. The slseves have
broad cuffs Of cerise silk, and the edges OF
corsage and basque are all trimmed like
the upper skirt. Straw hat, trimmed BY
black ribbon and white flowers with foli-
age, looks very pretty worn with this
costume.
A large and very spprecistive audi
ence were in attendance at Breom's Ope-
"a House last night, and if applause is
any criterin las it most assaredly isl
they were the best pleased set of people
that we have seen in an age. Everything
that was put on the stage went of AS
smooth as clock Work-a fact, BY the
way, which reflects much credit on the
stage management Of Mr. Eugene Cor
man, a gentleman who seems to under
stand his business thoroughly in every
detail. The great point Of attraction
nightly, next 20 the singing of the Ire
mont Sisters, is the dancing of the Starr
Sisters-Misses Susie and Ophelia. The
latter Is a new conner among US, but
by her graceful and artistic movements ia
the ballots, has already become a favor
ite-as Miss Susie has been ever since her
| engagement began. The song and dance
of Master Eugene are admirable. and the
young gentleman gives promise of great
. efficiency in his line. Miss Annie
Hazslton's club exercise is something
wonderful, and is alone worth the price
of admission. The old favorites, Lottie.
Nile. Rosa tand Others, retain their hold
on the public sentiment, and are nightly
encored time and again. Broom's is the
place for fun these nights.
