Nobody can now dispute the growth OF estheti-
cism in this country. The mania has taken hold
OF working girls even. One of them has been dis
covered who has her room decorated in strict ac-
cordance with esthetic principles The girl her
self is said to be plump and pretty with eyes that
would send Swinburne Off into a transcendentaI
reverie. The floor is a dark walnut shade She
got down on her knees and painted 1t herself; and
ments of leisure. To cut off a view of a dingy
wall she painted the window panes in water
colors. One window has drapery OF olive colored
flannel The most striking thing in the room is a

''RoMANY RYE"
went to see the 'Romany Ryer Monday night
at Booths theater, and have had lurid dreams
ever since. There was great crowd OF Journal
lists, actors, men-about-town, first nighters and
fashionable theater-goers on hand, and the play
went of with great smoothness and ease, despite
its elaborate scenic and mechanical effects 1t is
bowling melodrama filled with misery, perjury,
pilliage, murder, blood shed, intrigue, gore and
few other things, and 1t displays the stage carpen
ter and machinist to brilliant advantage. After
them the actors receive some notice, and the name
payb It is from tepary tsps Ea the the
drearlest mass OF hackneyed balderdash we have
yet endured, but there are seventeen scenes, and
each one Is a model OF stage mechanism. The
realistic has been the aim throughout and great
success has been achieved in that direction. Half

mules, and sickiy looking children swathed in re-
voltlngly ancient rags There are drunken beg
gars, blind men. fish women, and unclean
shrews in abundance, and the flthiest
quarter in London Is exhibited with a
fidelity to nature that is far from agreeable as
1t is from good TASTE The story is the absurd old
one OF good brother and a bad one being at
swords points, with the bad brother in possession
Of the ancestral property OF course they both love
the same girl, who Is equally. Of course, mild and
meek and pretty. The bad brother is employed
throughout in trying to XIII the good brother, the
mild girl weeps constantly and makes frantic
struggles to preserve her virtue from the cultural
approaches OF the bad brother and the good
brother passes the evening pleasantly and fighting
the bad brother, thugs and other sluggers, and
appearing at the critical moment at all times and
places to rescue the mild girl from the leacherous
clutches of the bad brother. few murders,
dungeons, fights, storms shipwrecks and escapes
are cast In to make the play interesting, and
In the end the good brother triumphs, while the
bad brother violently is lugged of by the police
to be hanged. When, oh! when Will this dreadful
melOdramatic Slush be done with E?
