THE SUNDAY MORNING NEWS NOVEMBER To- 1883

Captain Kidd has equaHed Mr.. Stetson
in the force and vigor of his English. 1t
is said that he once forgot the combination
of the big safe in the Boston Theatre, and
as soon as he began to express his opin-
ion on the subject the safe opened of its
own accord rather than continue the dis
cussion. Mr.. Stetson was once listening
to a rehearsal of an enlarged" orchestra
at the Boston Theatre--so the story goes.
He had spent some money getting the
orchestra together and felt proud OF it.
But he noticed that the man with the
bass horn didn't play all the time.
Look here" said Stetson, advancing
frem the back of the stage with his
finger extended in a manner since made
familiar by Baby Arson. Look here,
don't pay you for playing?"
why certainly, Mr.. Stetson," said the
astonished musician, but there is rest
here and"
well, we won't have any rests here.
You rest between tunes if you're tired: /"
The operate stage annals fairly bristle
with examples of six-syllabled. awe
inspiring nomenclature. The Russian
librettist, Tschernischewski, hides his
mead, however, in deserved oblivion be-
fore the imposing Helene Hastreiter Won
SchOonhoven de Vasco Burgunzio.
Wilson Barrett and Charles Wyndham,
two English actors, and Bessie Bonehill,
famous London concert hall singer,
IurnlSneu the only novelties Oh laSL week
in New York. Altogether it was great
week for the English. Miss Bonehill
came unheralded to Tony PASTORS Thea
tire, and in an transformations manner
scored the success for the British contin-
gent Her voice is clear, her face fresh,
her hair is cut short and is parted on the
side. Mr.:Barlett appeared in his play,
BENNY hree," gloomy melodrama;
Mr.. Wyndham in a comedy as David
Garrick and Miss Bonehill in q refined
variety turn" Mr.. Bartlett scored an
individual success, but his play is much
too heavily saturated with tears to be
popular. Mr. Wyndham and hisscompany
got cordial and deserved welcome.
Alexander Comstock, of the Academy
of Music. New York, has just signed a
contract with Denman Thompson by
which the young manager obtains the sole
right to present the now-famous pastoral,
''The Old Homestead" in England, Mr..
Comstock will sail this week to make pre-
liminary arrangements abroad, though
for the last week he has been keeping the
cable busy, and in May. after the close of
the second season at the Academy of
Music the full organization will go to
London. 1t is probable that the play will
be presented at the Drury Lane Theatre.
Mr. Thompson has not been in England
since 1862

OH, SO EARLY ENGLISH!
Elizabethan Styles in Gowns and
Capes Are All the Rage.

EARLY English" is the name given to
the new and pretty styles now SO fashion
able in gowns, and the name seem to fit
perfectly, for the styles SO picturesque in
the days of Elizabeth are now being re-
produced by us with few modern innoya-
lions. Even the shades in certain colors
then popular with the English are being
made and worn, and many of them are
found to be exceedingly pretty. There is
at least one thing to recommend the styles
to every woman. it is largely sensible, one
of the characteristics not often possessed
by the fashions of the present day.
ELIzABETH's TIME.
The plain round skirts are ex-
tremely graceful, but the stomacher then
set with precious, stones is now replaced
by modest girdle. The broad shoulders
which this style especially affects, was
probably first attempted at the time OF
Elizabeth. The effect was then obtained
by ruffies, worn broad and stiffiy starched,
immense sleeves and the waist painfully
laced in strap. Now we obtain the same
results in more artistic manner The
narrow shoulders are now broadened by
the graceful curves in the waist, by lit
tie padding, and the sleeves cut gathered
full and high. The high rufus worn at the
time of Elizabeth are seen now in the soft
frilis of lace SO graceful and becoming.
We are trimming our skirts also as they
did in those days, with narrow bands of
velvet, lace or embroidery which look so
pretty, neat and dainty.
CAPES AND SHOCKING POPULAR.
Capes of cloth or, when the owner was
among the richer people. of velvet We're
worn and were trimmed about with
heavy fringe or costly lace. Instead of
these copious garments we have now
pretty shoulder capes fastened at the
throat with dainty ribbon.
In the early English days nearly all
garments were decorated with shocking,
and that has become popular trimming
with us. There was in those days a
popular shade just between plum and
garnet, and now it is being much worn in
plain cloths and cashmeres.
With these early English gowns, dainty
red shoes or slippers in the house and
ostrich plumed fans should be seen to be
in keeping with the styles of rye oldene
tyne" At all events, slender and thin
women should rejoice in this pretty man
ner of dress, as it affords wide oppor-
tunities to hide the angular form and
gives soft and rounded appearance to it
and graceful bearing.
The Sunday morning news. [volume] (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1886-1891, 1889-11-10

sleeves are tied about the elbows with.
ribbon, and the bodice should have the
same trimming.
Purses, chatelaine pockets, letter cases
and pads, belts and house slippers with
buckles on them are being made of pearl
grey leather, with velvet finish and
mounted with polished or oxidized silver.
Red and black are combined for max
ing hoods, cowls and round capes.
Handsome evening gowns are now be-
Ing adorned by wearing with them two
sashes that either match or contrast.
occasionally one sash is of net, tulle,
crepe de chine, and the other broad rib
bon, or one plaid or striped ribbon and
the other plain. The sash ends are fas-
tened on each shoulder with branch, or
Knot of flowers, or bunch of ribbon, and
are crossed in surplice fashion ana are
fastened at the waist on one side with
fancy pin.
Walking and travelling gowns have
Garibaldi waists over which a jacket Is
worn.
Persian effects are seen in the Venetian
cloakings and cloths used for outer gar
ments. A fur collar is all the decoration
these handsome cloths need.
Canvas-woven woolens are coming up
again. They look well combined with
MORE or velvet.
Brides now wear slippers of white I'M
dressed kid with crystal beading.
Capotes, bonnets and turbans are trim
med with Alsatian bows.
Walking shoes, with low, wide heels,
wide toes and projecting soles continue
to be worn by women of fashion.
Black lace scarfs are in vogue and will,
to some extent, take the place of the fur
boa.
Opera cloaks are made of Matelasses or
brocades of delicate shade, white being
given the preference, and have Russian
collars of white or blue fox lynx or sable.
Silver match boxes, with portraits
etched on them representing the Seven
Ages, are among the latest novelties.
