She will tier make her farewell appear

management. Amberg has been so en-
couraged by his stars success, that next
year he proposes to build German theatre
in this city, at which lie will produce
mainly comic opera and perhaps grand
opera in German. This is not bad idea,
which will undoubtedly pay, for thereby
he will be able to gain not alone the sup
port of Germans but of Americans as
well.
After the reign of Pinafore, the Pirates
and Patience, the sway of English comic
opera seems to have ended. for neither
Claude Duval, ManteauX Noirss nor the
Vicar of Bray managed to secure hold
on the public. The new opera Rip Van
Wrinkle, is likewise failure. Both critics
and non professional theatre, goers agree
in the fact that the music is pretty enough
but very light and not popular. In spite
of the half dozen literary hands of &C
knowledged skill who worked on the
libretto, it is fiat. Three weeks hence
Gilbert and SuIlivaD's opera Pcrola, or the
Peer and the Peri, will be produced. The
letter P has been fortunate one for this
pair of operate composers. Let us hope
for their sakes as well as for our own
entertainment, that the Peri will steer
them through safely.
|. After several weeks of the most dis
gustingy damp weather, and unhealthy
warmth, cold weather has made its APP
pearance with the suddenness of Il thunder
clap from IL bright sky. The shopkeepers
who have undoubtedly lost money during
the term set aside for the fall trade now
hope for prolonged and severe cold so that
they may make up on winter goods what
they lost through their fall failures. Furs
have made their appearance in all tie
windows. Sealskin holds its own, but
otter and monkey skin will be worn very
eN ensively in spite of their expensiveness.
In sealskins the long pelssc is the most
fashionable wrap. Muffs this year will
generally be made of the same material as
the dress Thus a lady to be dressed
properly out of doors, must have as many
muffs as she has walking dresses. Military
and Prince Albert coats maintain their
popularity outside of fur garments, but
many ladies who do no favor masculinity
in woman's dress, are taking very kindly
to the little short mantlcs and small dol
mans with Oriental sleeves which the
French mantua makers have introduced
They are made of the same material as the
dress, and are lined with fright red, garnet
old gold, CT some veriegatcd kind of silk
They may be trimmed either with u thick
pinked ruche of the material of the mantel
Il border of velvet, fur, or even feathers
Small mask wells of dotted tulle are now
the proper thing to wear with velvet tur-
bans They come in numerous colors
and match the turban in color. Handsome
new gloves are shown in garnet color
The various aesthetic tints such as terrs
Gotta, dragon blue, old gold, clay, etc.
have grown so common, that the divinitie!
that make fashions have decided that
new shade was necessary.

proving the old maxim that turn abou

Never before has election time been st
