they did it so quickly spectator who saw it
done could not tel me. He says the two young

the rail of the berth and drew himself in in less
time by ten seconds than it takes to write this

A Beautiful Life.

When Anne Louise Cary became,Mrs.
Raymond the operate stage lostlone Of
its brightest ornaments, for she has
strictly kept her word that she would
sing no more in public after her mar
riage, and is living in absolute re-
tirement at the Berkeley, in New
York. But although the public has lost
its favorite contralto, the poor and suf-
ferng have found a friend. Annie Louise
Carys lovely voice is no more heard in
the opera, but her wonderful tones, ten
der, solemn and sweet, echo Sunday
after Sunday through the wards of hos
pitfalls, where she goes on stated days to
sing to the suffers lying in tine long rows
of white cots. 1t IS curious to watch the
gracious influence of its music upon the
pain-worn creatures on whose ears 1t
falls like a divine benedIction. Fur
rows of suffering are gradually smoothed
from weary brows. tense muscles slowly
relax and over eyes dim with agony the
lids droop.

are in reality no other than our WELL

of this era are hand-embroidered, the

a very charming conceit borrowed from

This large pointed collar In guipure
serves admirably to set off an OPEN necked

strikingly refined and poetic appearance
to the wearer. In this particular cos
tune the large collar is in cream

de chine. The lilac and gold couture is
in keeping with this extremely pIotur-

In civilized countries change in the
style of apparel Is demand of society,
and fashion draws upon all nations pc
RODS and countries for her designs. The
stage pays tribute to her power and in
return she borrows from the stage much
OF that costuming which IS artistic and
historic. Since the beautiful French
empress was dethroned there has been no
universal leader of fashions, for although
the Princess of Wales IS graceful in per-
son and tasteful in dress, her impress
upon styles is not go marked as was that
of the unfortunate Countess de Moutijo.
Mrs. Cleveland, because OF her posi-
ton and her youthful beauty, and Mrs.
whitney, because of her wealth and ar
istocratic taste, have been quoted as au-
thorities in matters of dress, but have
never fairly rivaIed stage beauties in
dictation of modes. This fidelity with
which actors reproduce the costumes OF
the time and place where the scenes are
laid, and the avoidance of any violation
of the rules of lines and colors, help to
make their costumes attractive. This
winter Russia sends its furtrim med gar
ments; Egypt Its fabrics, APPLIQUE discs
and semi-circles; Spain its glowing reds
and orange, and China and Japan their
soft silks aud grapes; while England and
France adjust the bonnets and the street
gowns.
With so wide field to Gull from and
such absolutely correct models as the
stage affords. there is little wonder that
the toilettes this season are exceedingly
handsome. While the stage is school
for modistes, first rate object lesson
can be found ia the auditorium. Here
youth and beauty congregats and FASH
ion holds high carnival. Particularly
conspicuous are the handsome wraps for
thester aud ball. Many of these are
made exceedingly warm by being lined
with fur and are therefore, while very
handsome, hardly suited for climate
where the roses bloom in December,

'Bounet teas'' are just now very

slipper is TO appear in bonnet or hat

origin, or has pre-eminently pictur-

hats in black and yellow are particu-

lace mingled with fine green velvet mai

and brown, has fiuted or waved brim

smooth is the material. The quality of
felt in the new French hat is OF the
finest, 80 that the curves have q sof. uu-
dulating appearance. 1t is only when
this sort of headgear descends to the
cheap imitation level that it becomes
hard and hideous and tawdry. Cloth
bonnets are more popular even than
those of felt, and q novel trimming for
these is the material laid on with the
edges raw, with an applique garniture
above of blacS; and gold.-[ New York
