You know are Odious. As it WAS, there
was not woman who came here, who
did not leave with the firm conviction
that if she were willing to compete
she would have u practical walk over
for first prize. The consequence that
she came again and brought her friends
with her, and it must not be forgotten
that each of them voted for some
particular candidate. This WAS five
cents each trip. s'PiZness is pizness
my boy
And now, as Il fitting climax Starr
has hung new photograph OF Mrs.
Langtry, in the main window of the
museum Underneath it is the legend
1.-The 800 cash price winner to be seen
inside" Talk about genius, the show
business monopolizes it.
Apropos of Mrs. Langtry, Last
Saturday it was announced that Sarony
had taken Mrs. Langtry's photograph
as ROsalind in the doublet and hose.
Everybody tlocked to Sarony's estab-
lishment in Union Square to see. But
oh the shock to poor masculinity's
curiosity. The picture was there, and
a beautiful one too, but it did not go
any further down than where the
tunic which reaches the knees ended.
1t stopped short like the serial novel
in the story papers, at the most inter-
esting part. But, perhaps Sarony who
is all artist acted wisely in so doing.
He may have believed that like Sire
phOn in the new opera of IOlnnthe, she
was half q mortal and half fairy,
and that the fairy part was like Sire
phOns the upper one. Some of the
gushing newspaper writer spoke of her
Thoroughbred ankle" OIL her arrival.
l myself cannot help agreeing with
many people that as Rosalind, she
ought to have worn boots instead of
silk hose which sets off defects rather
too strongly.
The new opera Iolanthe was a gen
uine artistic success last Saturday
night, and after people have seen once,
they will come again to listen to its
charming melodies and laugh them
selves hoarse over the wit of the
libretto and the genial obscurity of the
plot. 1t is rather more intellectual
than either Pinafore, the Pirates or
Patience, but just for that season l
think it ought to live longer than they
did. The setting was simply gorgeous,
and am told that 1t cost over $4,000
to fix the stage for the initial perform
ance. r
With the advent of genuine winter,
everybody rushes in to buy furs and
warm wraps, and consequently prices
are advancing, Fur lined circulars
are falling into disfavoI with the
lovers Of exclusiveness since every
body now wears them. They are sold
for as low as ten dollars, and thus
::every shop-girl'' goes to work now in
a circular. The result is that madame
who has a husband to draw upon, OF
madamoiselle who can put the screws
in papa decl:re they cannot be seen
with one of those pretty and comfort
able garments.
French satin is no longer used for
black toilets, in consequence of the
many cheap and inferior limitations
which have been made OF it. The
materials now commonly used are
sicilienne, faille and taffetl. satin
meuveilleuX, ottoman and silk bro
cheS.
A charming new costume has made
it's appearance. 1t is called the ''Sports-
woman It may be made of any
goods. 1 have seen it vigogne, with a
plated SKI rt and small draped tunic,
the vest being trimmed with wooden
galoon. The small "Oratoire'' capote
with which it is provided is also of
cloth with strings and cockade of
wooden ribbons. Then too, / have
seen it made of a soft, rich dove col
ored cloth, with band of velours-
, epinglea on the border of the flonnce.
The coat is of velvet of the same
color, cut out on the border of the
basque. The capote in this case is Of
plush and faille takes the place of the
wooden ribbon.
To ladies in search of something to
make for Christmas present. it is
respectfully suggested that handsome
piece of mantle-piece drapery may be
made of terra-cotta Japanese canvas
2 The two ends are heavily scolloped
8 The center is a piece Of crimson velvet
, upon which a design of sumac bios
som may he worked arasene. Another
pretty thing to make is a transparency
The material used is anew one called
: miller's muslin. Exquisite designs
can be worked upon it in long stitch
These transparencies are framed il
}. ebonies or ebonized wood and PLACED
: where they can transmit the light.
