does man take the trouble of writing
his life after he has had all the trouble
of living it?
The report that Mrs. Langtry was mar
ried to Freddie Gebhard in New York on

the way she jumped on the reporters
who interviewed her. she is now called
the Tiger Lily, instead of the Jersey

citement until it was over.
Rice's beautiful Evdngeline was pro-
duced at the Star Theater last Monday

and expenses, and Mr.. Rice is yet to
scoop his share from the "consomme."
The Transformation scene for Blue
beard, Jr., has been designed by Ernest
Albert. 1t is the most elaborate affair of
the kind ever seen in Chicago, and

country knows of. 1t is full of mechani-
cal effects, and when the full scene is
revealed scores of pretty women will be
seen embodying the theme of the per-
formance.
The huge bouquets which were wont to
ornament the ledges of the opera boxes
in past seasons are conspicuously absent
this year, and flowers are seldom carried,
except perhaps small bunch OF
vIolets or heliotrope, rarely worn to the
opera. The newest opera glasses are
small and light, made generally from
aluminium, and supported upon long
sticks of tortoise shell, which are often
ornamented with the monogram or initial
of the owner in tiny silver or gold letters
