capped by her gorgeons attire. She removes
the wreath of orange blossoms from tho head
rather gently, for fear OF tearing the point lace

fully before Edgardo, and, after III. feigned
struggling to prevent his leaving, finally comes
to the center of the stage. and sinks gracefully
10 the floor; whore as Gerster, playing this scene,
entered into it with such spirir, ana such au
utter disregard for her tinery, that it brought
down the house. She fairly tore the wreath
from he" head, crept on her knees be-
fore Edga'do, regardless of the rich satin
dress, from which u shower of bea Is
fell over the floor, and threw herself
upon the stops at the back Of the stage when
Edgardo frees himself from her. But, of course,
the great diva is privileged to follow her own
sweet will. She wore in the first act a charm

quite as conspicuous as any cuiorea raimaut

Walking Suits.
Visiting and walking suits are still made with
round, short skirts, and trains are reserved for
very cercmonious occasions. For example, an
evening toilet of light pink crepe de chine has
a slightly pulled raund skirt, which falls over
two pink satin plaltinSs. TDe polonaise NAV
be OF pain pink fabric or o: cherry color and
pink combined. The back forms the putting.
aud, If necessary, the train. The pulonaise
may be replaced by a pointed waist of chestnut
brown brocaded satin, with Hat paniers of the
brown saith arranged over full paniers of pini:
satin, which fall below. This brown brocaie is
much combined with pink gods. Gray toilets
retain favor. Some of these goods are in one
shade of gray, the only contrast being in the
combining of fabrics, with and without gloss.
Others are IN light aud dark grays, gray and
brown, or gray and Pompadour goods.
Pretty fancy suits are - be seen in the lat
ter combinations. They have plated skirts.

wear with this SKIRT a plain gray MORE polon-

SIDE to form two large Pompadour revers.
The elbow sleeves have Pompadour trimmings. |

steel and ruby bea Is. The collar is embroi-
dered 10 match. Around the poIonaise is a
trimming of gray lace worked with steel beads.
This style of dress may also combine navy
blue and Pomp ,dorr fabrics. The pIaits on
the skirt are disposed as described, while the
upper part may cons 81 Of Il ,uuic, with long,
square panel ends of plain blue material. The
drapery and basque are trimmed with points

the front of the waist forms 4 double putting:
one Is blle, the other Pompauour.
Fur-I.ined Wraps.
In this uncertain climate every women should
have at least one fur-l;ned wrap. The haut ton
RI these is this season either tho dolman or tho
long loose wrap, known TO the French dealers
az the Gouilettc and to Americans as the Jap
anese. Next come the various forms OF the
circular. the Russian and the Princess Louise,
both of tuem slightly fitted to the figure, and
with loose bag sleeves, the difference between |
the Two being 30 slight thatit is difficult for the
uninltiated to distinguish one from the other.
Inc Princess Louise has, however, two seams
IN tho back, making the garment a little like a |
redingote from a rear view, while the Russian
is more like a straight sacque, with sh tort bag
sleeves. Another mo LITIGATION of the same
garment il the Eureka, a sort OF Russian |
