ECHOES FROM THE RIALTo.

Notes on Local and General Histri-
Onic Matters.
The list of attractions for the Grand
Opera house already announced in
the LIGHT must be a source of great
qualification to the theatre.goer. OF
course all these attractions may not
be of star order for the local manager,
alas, he has to take what is on his
circuit. But the major attractions are
such as to outweigh any defects in
that line.
The Grand opera house is being
cleansed and repaired in readiness
for the coming season and some i'm
portant improvements in many ways
will be made. Manager Mullaly has
his eyes open to the wants and COM
forts of his patrons and may be re.
lied upon to do his part in making
the season q success.
Ernst RIsche is making due prepare
tions for the attractions at his opera
house and promises good season
but at the present time he is not able
10 furnish absolute date.
The variety shows of this city have
furnished good entertainments and
promises to do even better in the
future Notwithstanding many in
terested statements and insinuations
to the contrary good order prevails
and the spectators can be rs good and
as safe there as elsewhere.
Fred Wsrde, who appears at the
Grand opera house this season, is ar
ranging to double up" with Louis
James in the same way that Booth
did with Barrett and Henry Irving
did with Booth. The calibre of these
two stars in the line that Warde has

lar one.
Patrice, 1t is recorded has made a
big hit with the Pair of Jacks, but
give the animals chance and per-
chance they would make a bigger hit
with Patrice.
Emily Soldene, 1t is said, is SO
played out that she retires from the
stage to settle in San Francisco as q
teacher of music.
Billie Florence Is en-route from
France to America, and with Jeffer
son will appear in San Antonio during
the coming season. Mrs. Florence
will, however, remain in Europe.

Silk Coats and Capes.

Tailor made silk coats are among the
novelties for spring. They are made OF
black brocades with undulating lines and
stripes of black, or with colored blossoms.
Some of these coats are closely fitted long
basoues boned like dress bodice, with
sleeves Of great size wrinkled around the
arms. and high flaring collar. Black lace
is set on fatty as vest and revers. A
flouuce of lace half a yard deep is added in
very full gathers just below the waist line,
and is headed by a Cleopatra girdle Of jet
or silk passementerie, which Is looped in
front and hangs to the foot Other silk
coats are in Louis Quinze style, opening
on a vest. One of black faille brocaded
with yellow flowers has revers turned back
its whole length to display pointed vest
of white satin thickly embroidered with
gold. Black lace is gathered on the revers
and inside the flaring collar. Large square
pockets On the hips are covered with gold
embroidery.
Silk capes are novel wraps, too light for
spring days, but will be welcome in the
summer They are made in the round,
full shapes fashionable for cloth capes, and
are trimmed with metal galloon--Harpers
Bazar.

Horseback riding takes a new impetus
with the approach of YARN weather. The
riding schools ara out in full force every
morning, and the highways and bride
paths are crowded daily. The American
city girl is distinctively tailor made, and no
where and at no time does she appear to
better advantage than when well mounted
and trottipg briskly along under the bud
ding trees in the spring sunshine. The
riding masters are beginning to advocate
the divided skirt. When mounted-on a
side saddle, of course-the general appear
snce is the same. and the safety of the
rider in case Of fall is greatly increased.

lect as those which attend the Patriarch
and Assembly balls. Tennis and cricket
are women's fayorite spring games every
where, though an effort is being made to
revive the once popular archery. Quotts

TO delicate constitutions. It requires more
slan than strepgthHto throw the thin iron

poetical about the sport. Wednesdays the
ladies of the Berkeley club at New York
have the use of "the boat" a splendid
barge, with places for six rowers and room
for six extra people. Up and down the
Harlem river the strong young Amazons
pull their slittering craft.
The fencing craze seems to langulsh with
the approach of warm weather. 1t Is too
violent even for rainy days, when tennis Is
impracticable. Bowling is still INDUCED
in. The cellar is always cool, even On the
hottest days, and the exercise is always de-

eiri is more to my taste than the Ibsep or

AN ARAB GIRL
taught, generally by the mother, 10 read
and write The Arab Is of medium height,
muscular make, and brown complexion;
he is by nature quick, sharp ,witted and
fond OF poetry, while earnsstness and
pride look out Of his keen and glowing
eyes. The best Of them are noted for cour-
age, temperance and hospitality, although
these good qualities are often mared by a
spirit of sanguinary revenge. Most OF the
Arabs lead settled lives, but many Of them
are wanderers, living IN tents with their
horses and camels, and holding very loose
notions as to the rights Of property.
These Bedouins, as wandering Arabs are
called. despise the settled tribes, scorning
as they do to be tied down to the soil, even
where such bondage would make them
wealthy. The Arab is generally kind to-
ward his wife and children, although some
Of them, it may be, love their beautiful
horses almost more than their little ones.
An Arab girl of the better class is, as 9
rule, gentle and thoughtful in appearance,
but with her full share of the prejudices
and peculiarities of her people.
