season the statue pose will be carried

Dress, makeup, wigs. will be quite as
important as the attitudes, and the pose
plaStique will have run as a drawing
room entertainment. One, two or three
moving statues may be seen upon
parlor stage, hung severely in folds of
black cambria. The lights are all turned
out save the lantern which illumineS
the stage, bringing out in sharp relief

facial expressions conveying all the pas

feminine gender your costume must be
a simple little gown of white cashmere
or cheese cloth, cut in Parthenialike
fashion, falling loose from the low neck
and down ill bit at the waist with
loosely knotted white cord. Your wig
must be white and the hair caught in
genuine Psyche knot at the back.
Neck, arms, face and hands must be
whitened, and then you are ready to
pose. A man must wear a sort of Roman
tOga, white tights and buskins and a
white wig. All sorts of beautiful plas-
tiques may be done by a graceful man
and woman together. At Sorosis

charms upon the cOdcilinan, WHO IS Q6-
scribed as a well-built. good-looking
young man, but illlterate and at home
only in the stable life to which he had
been brought up.
We do not see why any particular fuss
should be made over the affair, since it
is by no means uncommon for belle to
marry the family coachman. Within a
few years there have been many cases
of the kind, says an exchange. 1t will
be remembered, perhaps, that the
earliest intimation that Mrs. James
Brown Potter was nOuriShing an ambl-
ton for the dramatic stage was given iii
the sensation that followed her public
recitatiOnS OF "'Ostler joe"
But it is possible that the apparent
prediction of society bellies for stable
boys may be due to something more
than a mere freak of feminine fancy.
There is something romantic IN the idea
of man on horseback. In ancient
times he was knight, belted
and booted. plumed as to the
cap and spurred as to his
heels, clad in shining mail and armed
with sword and lance, riding forth upon
quests of love and adventure. Such a
figure was sure to find its way to the
hearts of the fair danes. In latter
times the cavaliers, who figured in the
wars and galloped through history, had
all their experience of love and ro-
nance. The man on horseback is usu-
ally picturesque figure, but how about
the hOStler? A groom of the stables
never in ancient romanceS posed as
knight.
Nobody will pretend that kindred
natures thus recognize each other, and
that mutual sympathies draw them to-
gether. The sequel Invariably proves
that such matches are thoroughly ill
assorted and necessarily unhappy. In
all the cases of this kind that have been
made public there is no exception to
Such-a result.
There must, then, be some potential
reason for the frequency with which
the heiresS falls prey to the coach
man. Ii seems to be due to hypnotic
or mesmeric influence. No man can at
tain success as tamer or trainer of
beasts who does not possess the sort of
ing and controlling his charges. He
may back it up with physical force. but
there must be, first Of all, a sense of
power and an energy of domination to
urge to the work of subjugation, and
drive to complete dominion. 1t is only
such a nature that can become a sue
cessfui hostler. Thus, it appears,
the will power that can subdue a horse
can subdue a girl-some girls, at least.
So the groom, after all, is only hypn0-
tizer of horses, and by no higher power
than is necessary to Subjugate an un-
ruly steed he appears able to ing not
a few fine women to his will.

Her Feet and Hair.

the second act, because it showed them
and the lace petticOat to such advantage.
All the same, / hope these impromptu

society play. Girls, even '.whirlwindr
girls in society, are not in the habit of

such thing, unless she has. Carmencita

that Macready had nail driven into the

Supers on tho French stage have been
known frequently to protest against ap-
pearing as "the enemy in patriotic
plays. They think it degrades them.
In melodraha called 'The Battle OF
Waterloo" which was once produced in
London, an English regiment was repre-
sentcd as retreating before a French one.

was massacre. What were broken

form OF half sovcreigns?
Speaking OF half sovereigns, the pay
of super in Chicago is twenty-five
cents night. The super captain, who
takes the trouble of drilling, deducts
one nights pay from the amount com
ing to each man, These sums of twenty
five cents are perqnisites, for he has
stipend from the theater.
Some OF these captains are accom-
plished boodlers. Here is one of the
tricks Of trade: When super has
worked four or five nights the captain
discharges him on somo pretext or other
and takes new man. But the captain
hands in his bill for the ussd quota and
pockets what is due the discharged man.
Then again, there are always young
men who wish to get near to their foot

as blank as If nothing on earth interest

an attempt made to lure her and some
companions to the West by scoundrel
who pretended to be theatrical man
ager. Fortunately the plan was ballxed.
''But what ! was going to say is that
have seen her on some stage or other at
least once month for seven years. |
have seen her in all Nine. Modieskae
plays and in all sorts of costumes. She
has trailed the robes of princesses
across the boards of the Chicago Opera
House. | have seen her in burlesque
attire at the Peoples posing in her elon-
gated unconsciousness. She has bent
over the death scenes of Clara Morris,
and in statuesque vacuity and green

through which she has moved she has

And why should not the serfs of the
stage have their George Kcnnan to
champion their cause9 Who ever gives
them a thought-tho men and women
who are stuck here and there in the
background to fill in the scene like the
daubs of paint an artist uses to suggest
shadowy figures? Talk of an actor
merging his identity in character; he
has his real name and his assumed one
on tho programme. Tho super has no
identity at ALL lie is a cipher with the
circle rubbed out.
He receives no recognition from the
audience. II he is made conspicuous for
IL moment the gallery boy scornfully
abridges the already abridged name OF
his humble calling, and yells "Supel' at
him. That is all. The real actors and
actresses regard him as piece of vivi-
fled furniture. The tragedian, If he be
a heavy one. will occasionally honor
him at rehearsal by vigorously swearing
at him.
And the super bears it all patiently
silently. lie is of forgiving, kindly
nature. When Barrett or a Booth
drops of into the unknown the super
sighs; "Ahl another of us gonel What
is the stage coming to?"
Cases have been known where a super
