! outdoor concerts have retained a pictures
que popularity. People who are SO curl
ously constructed as to be able to enjoy life
at West End hotel are hanging on with a
Willingness that is charming the proprie-
tors. The dime museum freaks who ex-
pected to be chased back to New York on
the goth, have been grinning in freakish de-
light at the unexpected prolongation of
their seashore tenure. The merry-go-
rounds have been humming cheerful tune
and the man who has been shouting in
steam whistle falsetto for The elevated rail-
way has risen at least three tones on his
upper register under the influence of the
unexpected rush.
Down on the sand it has been delightfully."-
warm at season when it generally begins
to get inhospitably chilly. The bathers are
taking their last dip. They are taking it
as If in realization that it is an unexpected
pleasure.
Rockaway and Long Branch, too, have
been enjoying this advent of the unexpected.
The amount of September bathing has
everywhere broken the record. People who
fish a good deal in September, and who gen.
orally expect to do some of it in an over
coat, have been adding swim to the con-
ventional excitement.
Yes September has been an unexpected
month. Thousands of the nabobs who got
canght in town have been swearing at it
viciously. But many thousands more have
had good deal of out-of door satisfaction
out Of its uneXpectedness.
FASHIONS IN FACES.
One of the things that people do who have
plenty of time on their hands is stroll UP
Broadway and study the photographs ex-
hibted in the show windows.
All manner of windows now display por-
traits of statesmen and soldiers and &C
tresses and virtuosi, and ladies who have
married decayed European counts, and
every grade of professional beauty. Music
stores run rather to musical celebrities, but
take the cold edge off the severe profession
alism of such display by scattering about
a few types of people who are nothing in
particular but who have been talked about
good deal.
There is a certain fashion in faces. Just
now the fashion seems to be for senti-
mental early English" type. Our Amer
lean stage women are affecting this style
and sometimes with very fetching success.
1t is hard to tell the English from the Amer
lean beauties SO clearly does fashion con-
ventionalize. both varieties. Julia Marlowe
makes hit in her effort to look like Wal
ter Stott heroine. Coriune is of O style to
have pleased Byron. Marie Wainwright
has a face to fit some romance of the Eliza
bethan period. Lillian Russell is modern
in her beauty and manages to still have the
most popular face of the group. Marie
Tempest, again, is of the romantic order
and is very popular with sentimental por-
trait gathers. The Countess of Dunlo and
long list of "titled Americans" are coveted
ON imperial cards-by the nouUedu richie
and Anglomanic multitude. The burlesque
people-Maria Jensen, Louise Bandet An
ME Meyers, Della Fox, Florence ST. John,
Nellie Farren aud the rest-are always pop
ular with the kind of young men Bronson
Howard satarizes IN his "Henrietta,n who
wish to appear to be very wicked, and
heighten the illusion by having naughty
array of photographs about their dressing
table. MATT LAMAR.
