Her Arr1VA1 In New 4Ofk-AOw She App
 peared and What She Wore.
 The New York papers give long accounts of the arrival on Wednesday of Sarah Bern hardt in that city. The Tribune reporter sees her first on the steamer
 A tall slender form, willowy and graceful, had entered the saloon Instantly there was a rush, and Mile. Bernhardt, as she chatted with MT. Abbey and Mir. Schwab, was the center of a curious crowd. It was striking face that they saw-long and thin, and, view ed as a whole, almost triangular in shape. Her broad, low forehead was nearly con- cealed by her hat and little fossy puffs of light brown hair Under her light delicately- pencilled eyebrows shone long, narrow gray sh-blue eyes. Her long prominent aquiline nose gave a little of the Hebrew cast to her face. Seen in profile, a little rip pie was noticeable that gave it an ir- regular outline The nostrils were thin, quivering and dilating with every motion. Her mouth was wide, with thin sharply cut red lips that curled and fairly writhed aS she spoke, and when the curved upper lip was drawn back in her smile her prominent white teeth were fully exposed to view. Her chin, rounded as it was, was yet strong Her clear, white complexion relieved only by little spot of pink visible just under high cheek bones. It a surprise to most of the curious gazers to find Mile. Bernhardt pronounced blonde instead of brunette. But one who barely noted her features first and the outline of her face found himself at tracted again and again into watching her, in order to detect the something that gave such peculiar character to her face. The secret lay in her diamond eyes. Now, as the artiste threw back her head and watched some one attentively, they narrowed as the eyes of a sleepy cat may sometimes be seen almost to close, and a cold glitter alone was visible. The stony gleam seemed if something re- morselessly cruel were speaking through her eyes.
 Again her face lit up. Fer eyes dilate, opening widely as the long light lashes lifted, and shining even brilliantly as the delicate nostrils quivered and a smile broke over her face, bringing out the fine lines in her cheeks.
 Her manner essentially French Turn ing quickly from one to another of her com panions now struggling her shoulders, ges- turing with her gloved-hands in dainty pro- test, now laughing, now sober, she seemed the essence of mobility. Her dress was dark seal brown imperial with cape la pos tillion and the trimmings were of seal brown and dark green striped silk.
 The front of the dress was kilted Her hat, of olive plush-a style said to be pecu- liar to herself, resembling the Gainsboroughs but called the Bernhardt-was trimmed with bird of paradise and ostrich plumes, and bore several miniature wolves heads. Her hat fastened tightly down over her head, almost concealing her ears, but a cloud of
 
 was a heavy sealskin dolman, reaching almost to the floor beneath which her tiny feet peeped out, clad in elaborately ornamented slippers.
 The Sun says: Mile. Bernhardt has brought to this country, it is said, endless wonders in the way of dress. She superin- tended every article that was made for her, and the great Felix, prince of Paris dress makers, was subjected to the most trying va riations of her taste. The making of the dresses is described in the Fi9arO as a per feet work of art, for Bernhardt required the most delicate variations of light and shade. Of gloves alone she brings out 300 pairs. She has seventy-fve pairs of shoes of divers make, and forty new dresses. The principal dresses are: One for 4d11ez1ae LecOu07e,hr, Louis ". style, with ivory satin train and front of China blue drapery, with garlands of pale pink and tea roses and Alencon lace on pointed bodice Another toilet of brocade silk made in Lyons, has cascades of flowers embroidered on the skirt, and the bodice is trimmed with Bruges lace Another desha- billie toilet consists of cloud of Languedoc lace. The large mantle forming Vatican plait is fastened down in front by broad satin ribbon strings, while the train is trimmed around with lace ruchings. The dress for '' La Dame aux Camelias" is described as a caef G9u0re. The embroidery consists of came- ias, er2 rel5et, on white satin. The waist and trOnt or the SKlrG are covered WlIn ane pedrl6 and punches of camelias. This dress cost $2 ,OO0. In ''Frou-Frou' Bernhardt appears in long ivory satin dress, and with rich em- broidery of mother of pearl and pearl beads. walking dress for the same play is of gray Bengaline artistically draped in the back, and fastened by a diamond pin. Another dress is covered with Valenciennes lace An other is all covered jet, with the waist cut low In ''La Sphynx'' Bernhardt will wear yellow satin skirt, with black and jet waist. A house costume is of brocade silk, with crimson and pale roses on cream ground, and ruby satin train. The wardrobe for Antony includes a velours d'Utrecht suit, with stripes of old gold color and garnet, made in large paletot. In ''Her- mani" Bernhardt will use in the first act toilet of white damask, in the second white Bengaline raised over sky-blue brocade skirt, and in the fifth act white brocade trimmed with gold embroidery. For IL Etran- gere'' there are five dresses. Bernhardt has also brought with her some wonders in hats and bonnets. One of these is Velasquez of black felt, with immense broad brim, which shadows the face, and which is ornamented by plume of feathers eoquettishly placed on the side. Another novel piece of head gear is n Raphael turban of plush otter skin, looped up in bands of gold, with twisted fringe of unbleached lace work.
