The audience at the Criterion Theatre was
composed almost entirely OF royalties and so
cal celebrities. and q remunorative innovation
was the sale Of the programmes. which had
been artistically designed by Sir Randall
liob.rts. at half a crown apiece. 1t Is doubtful
whether this now departure would DO imme-
diatsly popular here. as II savors somewhat
Of the no change" system, which was former
ly so common at fancy fairs.
The revival Of Diplomacy" at wallack's
Theatre made gay night there on Mondsy.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pierre Lorillard. Mr.. and Mrs.
Ogden Mills. Miss Hyde. and Mr.. Sidney Ripley
were among the audience.
Circus parties have been numerous. and tho
elephants now go round before very fashion,
able audiences. Mrs. 'Parsn Stevens occu-
pied Mr.. Barnum's box on Wednesday.

with. Miss Otis. and Mr. Alistair Hay:

Nickar. AS tho circus regularly reappears with
every Lenten season. 1t Is fair to suppose that
it must have some moral or religious signih-
canoe which the theatre and opera have nos
yet attained to. Whether the white elephant
helps to give 1t q sacerdotal character does not
appear: but certain 1t is that many who would
turn the cold shoulder to a theatrical represen'
tation during Lent. and resolutely decline the
opera. will make parties to attend tho childish
performances at the circus and smile APPROX
inay from beginning to end.
The post-E Easter gayetes seem to be hardly
yet decided upon. or at any rate they have not
Leen announced. Weddings will be decidedly
in the minority and fewer by far than they
have been for many years past. That OF Miss
Alice Haven and Mr. Nelson Borland. which Is
| to take place very privately at the residence OF
Mrs. ]. Woodward Haven In Madison avenue.
on the 10th OF April. is the only one announced.
The bachelors ball. which was expected to DO
given shortly after Easter, has been pretty
much abandoned. or rather has been merged
in an al Jresco entertainment. to DO given ut
Jerome Park In the month Of May. As this
will bring coaches. drags. fourth hands. and
summer toilets all prominently into play IL
will doubtless be preferred by many people. but
it will press too closely upon racing and COACH
ing parades to bear any stamp Of originality.
Those who are about to marry will. perhaps.
be interested to know that In former times
no charge was made for marriage an.
nouncements in tho newspapers. Mr. Walter
OF the London Times was the first ed
itor to throw out the suggestion that
bridegroom might very we'll pay q
small sum to the printer for aoouainting
the world with the fact Of his happiness and
good fortune. The charge at frst was trifing.
and was paid regularly to Mrs Walter as pin
| money. But Mrs. Walter ut her death found it
worth while to pass this prescriptive right Of
hers to her daughter. and when few years
ago 1t WAS repurchased by the present propri-
etor. it was assessed at from "a. 900 to $4,000 q
| year. The parson fee at a wedding was also
| much less a hundred years ago than it is now.
| and the Clergyman who united the most aristo-
cratic Of parshioners seldom received moro
than one guinea from the happy bridegroom.
| Indeed. the three great events OF life-births.
marriages. and deaths--were vastly less ex-
pensive in those days than they are at present.
and men could both live and die II they SO
pleased, at rate exactly proportioned to their
| incomes. and in conformity with their tastes.
