AMUsEMENTs.
Her Majesty's Ship. Plnafore, rather
tame, but nevertheless successful little
operatta. is now holding the boards OF
the academy to crowded houses. Madam
Oates, that dashing little actress, first
gave the piece a name by singing the
role Of the leading male character; but
the cause of its continued success is, to
quote from Lsrd Dundreary .:ons Of
those things no fellah can find
out" There is absolutely no real
music in it; the gags are poorly
rendered, and no plot worth speaking
of; in short. 1t is altogether devoid of
common interest, yet the piece draws
well, and evidently attracts an appre-
ciative audience. There Is rather a
dearth OF amusements now. The Varfe.
ties, never very successful, closed its
doors some two weeks ago. The skat-
ing rink still holds It's own and has be.
come quite fashionable resort.
FASHIONS
Since last wrote, 1 have seen some
OF the most charming bonnets of the
season. at one of our most reliable
modistes, Madame Reymoir. Great
varieties are shown in soft chips or Tus-
cans, the inside brim being generally
lined with velvet or shirred silk. Full
blown roses, crysanthemums and indeed
all large and farlng flowers are very
fashionable. and dispersed in general
on the outside. The foliage comes in
the most delicate shapes of green Grape.
A new idea is to have the bonnet strings
OF finest white null muslin, edged with
Valenciennes lace. Asatian bows have
become quite the rage, but as usual,
the fashion has been carried to the ex-
treme. They are strictly intended for
evening wear. but contrary to good
taste, nine out Of ten are seen on the
streets. II
The Spring Chronicles give Us some
interesting facts concerning spring toi-
lets. No absolute styles are shown tor
whatever is becoming once graceful,
may now be considered fashionable.
Vests are prominent feature in all the
new suits. and are generally Of black
satin, embroidered in shaded silks. The J
reason IS not tar enough advanced to
show anything definite as yet in milli- ,
merry OF dress goods. Soft finished per- ,
Gales always charmingly fresh and dain-
ty. will be more popular than ever.
Altogether, the spring campaign has
opened most promisingly.
