made part of the procession saw them
moment, each group breaking up as
the procession moved on. This was
the more to be regretted since the
pictures had really been studied with
much care, and in more than one in
stance with very dramatic and pictorial
effect. The tented since from King
John" before the walls of Anglers was
particularly striking for the number of
its figures and the picturesqueness of
its costumes, Mrs. Turrell in her richly
jeweled robes and gold tiara as the
representative of Constance being
conspicuous in the group. Mrs Kin
chants white robes trimmed with gold
and crimson-lined hat with ostrich
feathers in the character of Juliet in
Measure for Measure" attracted also
much attention to the tableau of the
stall under the direction of the Baroness
Won Kissing; while the scene in Friar
Laurence's cell had the advantage of
dazzlinglX handsome Juliet in the per-
son of Mrs. Lart, whose husband APP
peared as the friar. The blue and
amber costume of Ms. G.. T. Burnett in
the scene in Leonato's garden from
"Much Ado About Nothing" and
the creamy white robe with rolls bound
with gold upon the shoulders wore by
Mrs. j. S. Wood in the character of
the deeply-wronged Hero were also
well in the picture to which they be-
longed. Itwould be too long, however,
to sketch the characteristics of these
tableaux as they presented themselves
momentous to the eyes o. the passcr
by. They were in all eight in number,
comprising, besides those already glanc-
ed at, the street scenes from "Richard
ILL.," the castle platform scenes from
''Hamlet," and the scene in the atrum
in Paulna's house from the Winter S
Tale But besides these there were
upon a higher level, grouped in front
of the representation of Stratford
church, three other stalls. Here was
the forest of Arden in the stall kept by
Mrs. Molesworth, who together with
the Ladies Fitzwarine Chichester, Cliff
ford, and Leith Buchanan, and Lord
Fitzwarine Chichester, Mr.. Bagot Moles-
worth, and others, represented scene
from "As You Like It." The neigh
boring Garter Inn scene from 1.-The
Merry Wives of Windsor engaged
the services of the Lady Brooke, Mrs.
Edward Brooke, the Misses Junius
Stallard, Mr.. Stuart Grant, and others.
The Macbeth" scene, which included
the weird business of the cauldron and
the cavern, was under the direction OF
Lady Alfred Churchill and Lady Warm
ington, assisted by Miss Spencer Chur
chill, Mrs. Ashton, the Hon. Victor
Rot1 Af
and others. The decorations, which
necessarily play an important part il
, these tableauX, have been painted IL

designs by Mr.. Alfred Darbshire, anC
to this latter gentleman, as well as tC
Sir Frederick Leighton and Mr.. G.
