THE GALA PERFORMANCE AT HE OPERA HOUSE
NOT IMPOSING.
The gala representation at the Opera House on
Thursday was the least brilliant episode of this
festive week. 1t was gwen in honor of the gener-
ais and colonies who were delegated by army corps
serving in the provinces to receive flags tor them
at Longchamps. Madame Gr6vy does not appear
to advantage in the State box at the opera. She is
homely, elderly. and is not woman of noble pres
ence Madame de Freycinet shows to greatest adj
vantage at her hresIde Her daughter is

Gr6yy is dark and small, and not being married
she cannot wear jewels. which would light
her up There is nothing snowy in the beauty
Of Madame Jules Ferry. No bourgeois
party could be imagined than formed
by the central personages in the State box. NJ.
Gr6vy slipped in almost unperceiyed. He had in
tended to have worn, in compliment to the Army,
the Grand Gordon of the Legion of Honor, which
would have frightened up his evening suit but for
got to do so in the hurry of an early dinner. The
official ladies were in either black or white-mOuTn
ing for the Empress of Russia and the sister re-
Gently deceased, of NJ. de Freycuet. Only young

the Cent Guards who used to stand near the wings |
on the stage and at the entrance 10 the Imperial |

dark CRIMSON of the boxes which on this occasion |
were occupied by military men in dark uniforms |
and III the greater number OF cases elderly There |
were few hussaTs III bright blue jackets on whom |
the eye rested with pleasure. White shoulders and |
pretty faces were very rare: and of diamonds the |
jewels best adapted for a spectacle Of this kind. |
there were hardly any.
