ANNA DICKINSON.

All of the dresses were devised by
Miss Dickinson, aud they are qneenly
in richness and elaborate in detail, us
we'll as historically correct. They are
four in number. one frr each act, and
were not made in Paris, rs has been re-
ported, but by her dress-maker in New
York and under her direction. The
cost of the outfit was $4,000, exclusive
Of diamonds and ornaments. AS Anne
Boleyn is supposed just to have re-
turned from France, some license is
allowed for French taste. Miss Dick.
inson wears a gold-blonde wig. and
displays her costumes with exqtlisit
taste. There is 4 marvel of feminine
art in her exhibition of her queenly
robes, as act after act brings them be-
fore the public eye. The first is the
court dress Anne Boleyn may be said
of King Henry were attracted by the
girlish beauty. 1t is "a creamy broc;ade.
with ruby velvet trimmings and gold
embroidery. This robe is bewildering
in it's blended beauty, and it is us eX-
q,isite for harmony as elahorateness.
The second is dress supposed to be
worn at the house of her father, Sir
Thomas Boleyn. 1t is Il Metternich
green satin, with crimson and cloth
of gold overdress of the Venetian
style, and it may be described us
unique and piquant, with 4 subtle sug-
gestion of the ante.renaisslnce period.
The third dress is 4 marvel OF brecaded
beauty us is fitting for the royal robes
of an English queen. 1t is the azure
of an unclouded sky. and is made more
queenly by train of blue velvet and
ermine and girdle of diamonds and
pearls, with a diamond crown and
necklace. The stomAcher is of woven
pearls and old lace. The last dress is
not the traditional black velvet in
which queens are supposed to be led
to the block. 1t is somber. but full of
Il passionate suggestions of intense and
smothered fire, typitied Ivy blending
of black and crimson satin under rich
black lace. It is such i dress that Il
queen might almost wish to die at the
hands of the eXecutioner that she
might be able to wear it; and this
brings lis to the rising of the curtain
