An Actress Transformed Into Mar.
BILE Statue.

It may interest you to read about the
wonderful new costume which Mary
Anderson brought out few nights ago
as 'tGalatea." Talk of high art in stage
dressing, nothing that way could exceed
the article in question. It was designed
by Frank Millet. and we are, 7 suppose,
to expect something remarkable when q
man turns costumer. Miss Anderson and
others who have appeared as statue
turned to life have managed to be at
least white like marble, but never before
has cloth been made TO look SO stony.
Mr.. Millet gets all the praise, and that is
not right, for every woman knows that it
is far easier to design the costume which
turns Mary into statuary than to
realize it in cloth. An exquisite Greek
tunic falls over her tall, slender figure
in perfection of graceful drapery, and
kind of heaviness suggestive of marble.
This curious effect is produced by
weighting the fabric with metal at
various points. by shirring ard stay
ing in at just the right points,

arms were whitened; her wig was quite

life. Yesterday, as he was waiting at Parker.

with her fellow i'll the farm wagon, locked in
each others arms The Young man lived in
Iowa, and was on the eve of starting home.
The train was ready. and onto the platform
went his earpet-bag Another embrace and
the train pulled out The lover swung on,
and the lassie waved him kisses. The train,
going down grade, gained RAPID speed; the
boy waved his handkerchief, but his heart
was in his mouth OFF went the old satchel;
off followed the lover with heels in the air.
Over and over went he. and at last lit in a
mud hole, rolled like ball against the soft
clay bank. and finally got on his feet and
started back to see his Dulciana. She at the
same time was making for him. They met
and embraced, regardless of clay or bruises.
The Iowa lover was heard to remark: "Ducky,

justice OF the peace was sent for, and the
twain returned to the farm as one.

Greenaway, the artist whose pictures have

Her magic pencil has transformed even our
American home midgets into the quaintest
and loveliest of little antiques, with their

pointed to them hanging there around the
studio wall, so motionless then, but soon to
be alive again with charming curves and airy
grace, when obedient to the little creatures
within.
The little models have to be tied and but

to pose, with many rests between; but the
artist, with tireless pencil, must go over and
