Description OF Handsome Ballroom
Toiist-ntiss Anderson's Costumes.
A handsome ballroom toilet for young
married lady consists of long, square-cut
train of cream satin and plain skirt Of rich
gold brocade; this is cut out in wide, shall
low tabs, with q box piait of satin below.
At the top of each slit are small marabout
| feathers, all spotted and sparkling with
| gold. From the sides of the waist hang
sash ends of ribbons, which are loosely
tied up on the front of the skirt and fall in
long loops to its edge. The low pointed
bodice is prettily trimmed with shaped
out full bertha of old lace studded with
| gold-headed pins. On the right of the
basque there is also a pouf of the golden
! tipped feathers. A second costume is of
black-beaded tulle and black satin worked
with jet leaves, the front of the skirt being
entirely covered with embroidery and bor-
dered with heavy ruching of satin. The
waterfall back is of gathered tulle
thickly sewed with small loops of cut
beads. Down each side of the skirt are
sharp-tongues Of black satin with ribbon
bows placed at the points, and about the
hips Is q snort festooned scarf.
Miss Mary Anderson, as Juliet, wears in
the first scene a closely clinging robe of
blue and silver brocade, with long train,
and its sleeves pulled with white lawn.
Her small, blue satin mask dangling from
her hand, whiie a great screen of pale blue
ostrich feathers hangs from her side. Her
next dress is of conventional blue and pink
satin, but her third is beautiful; a gold
samite stiffiy rich with gold embroidery,
and made with trailing skirt, short tunic
heavily fringed with gold, and pulled
sleeves of gold and crimson velvet, sud
den touch of brilliant color repeated in the
small skull cap ON her head 1t is in the
flowing robes of white linen crepe, made
after the manner of the twelfth century,
she looks her best The bodice is closely
nodded to the figure below the hips, where
it meets the heavily plated skirt; the
sleeves are long and flowing and fall
back from the appraised srms. When Juliet
seeks the friar's cell she covers her white
array with voluminous cloak of dusky
hue lined with brighter tint. In the last
scene she is criticised for wearing too many
diamonds, which destroy the sentiment of
her white robes.
Pink is color that promises to be fash
lOnable for evening wear during the season.
There are to be pink velvet tabliers and

with trains of bronz Pink China crepe
will be found draped over crimson. Dark
colored silks will be made up with satin
of the highest pink, and pink Transparent
cies will be seen combining with cream
white lace. Old gold will be again favor
tie color; and mauye and lilac, reported to
be particularly adapted to the softness of
the electric beam, will hold high position
among the choice colors. Maroon velvet
viii combine well with button dor and pale
gold with either pink or white. Quietcr
and less expensive dresses will be of black,
richly beaded with jet, or of any dark ma
terial, relieved by fchu of gold net or
pink arcophane. Such costumes may be
made half low, with the frilling high to the
throat. A revival emanating from the
highest quarter is that of the locket or
pendant worn at the throat with open
dresses lone of the few ornaments suitable
and becoming to all ages. Nothing unites
richness and simplicity more than gilt
tering diamond pendent or cross depend
ing from narrow velvet neckband and
worn with clinging trained evening dress
of pure white lace or tulle. Black is equal
ly effective.
