Ihave recently noted rather amusing de-
tall In the classic costumes worn at the
Coincide Franchise. Most Of the actors and
actresses who play the parts Of peysonagos OF
ancient Greece or Rome do not wear divided
stockings under their sandals, after the style
in vogue on the stage In England and Amer
lea With due regard to realism, the sandal
Is laced on the bare foot of the performer,
which is made up accordingly with as much
care as are his or her hands, being whitened
and having the neils delicately tinted aud the
sides shaded with rouge. 1t was rather conf
cal to see Mounet-Sully in the scenes of strong
emotion in ''Gdipe Roi" wriggle his great
toes in accordance with his agitation, and
also to notice how pretty Mile Dumesnil, in
the role of the Priestess, curled up the ex-
tremities of her dainty little feet as she de-
scended the staircase, suppose we all act in
the same way under similar circumstances,
only not visibly. 1t is like seeing a young
lady make a courtesy in q pages dress-one
can observe exactly how IL is done.-Lucy

To avoid extra delay the department made
up the estimates formerly prepared based

according to the plan and theory usually
adopted, I recognise that these estimates
are largely copjectural and moro or less
