BABY KERNEL AND TWO LITTLE STARS.
and when the house just rose at him"
with cries of bravo he got frightened
and ran off the stage. only to be captured
by Tony Pastor and brought back In his
arms. But he wouldn't dance again,
and kicked and squirmed, though Tony
told him that he had made bigger hit
than his father ever did. The little fell
low had had enough, and felt quite sure
OF il.
The little dress he wore was Of gray,
fne check, and plated from the neck
down to the bottom, and around the
sleeves and neck was an embroidered
trimming done in crimson silk.
Two other little stars of small magni-
tude, but great brilliancy, who recited
and sang, were most comfortably COS
TUNED, one in a Mother Hubbard Of
crimson cashmere, trimmed with two
bands Of black velvet. and with dainty
little velvet bows at the neck. A big
crimson felt hat had bows of black vel
vet. Black stockings and bronze slippers
completed the costume, which was Won
derfully becoming to the little wearer.
The other little star-little comet
rather, for she danced about like one
wore an Edison blue cashmere, embr0id-
cred with red, with narrow knife plated
ruffie aroU-l the bottom of red silk and a
sash Of the same. She wore red stockings
and the dearest little bronze slippers.
OF course these were changed later to
good. stout shoes.
But, OH how cunning were the two
little babes in the wood! Tie brave
brother wore little coat OF brown cloth,
with black astrakhan fur cuffs and
collar and little knit woollen cap.
Leggins of the same material as the
coat incased hiS plump legs, and pair
of mittens protected the dlmpled hands,
one of which was clinched to repel the
wicked enemy, and the other was occu-
pied in leading the little sister, who, In
her soft, pearl gray coat, bordered with
white Thibet fur, looked sweet enough
TO eat for dessert after bountful dinner.
There were pockets to keep the dimpled
hands warm in, and leggiGs of blue vel
vet and coy little hood to match.
The two little mites told the fearful
tale of the Babes in the Wood" in al
ternate verses, and their baby voices
reached the farthest corners, and all
these little tots wore knit under gar
ments of fine wool. which is light and
warm, and their drawers reach the tops
of their shoes. / only wish that every
mothers child in America could be
dressed as well and tastefully.
It seems as if there would never be an
end to the novelties that are always be-
ing shown, and one hardly chronicles
one thing before there is still newer
one TO see.
Yesterday l found new fabric for
dancing dresses, which is a gauze, with
coarse interviewer threads of different
color, and as if dropped carelessly over
these are lozenge spots of black velvet,
the whole being very pretty. The ground
work or gauze foundation is in the soft,
tender tints of mauve, heuotrope, peach

A vENTUReSOME ACTOR.
Interesting Episodes In the Career OF q

1t has been about nineteen years since
Massen began the trip. At that time he wai
IL years old, and with more ambition than
prospects he became a call boy in Bar
NUNS museum. Three years later, when
that famous old playho burned, the
boy was cast on his own resources again.
These resources were not very extensive.
Work was what he was looking for, and
when he saw an opening, the fact that it
was not a stage door did not deter him
from taking advantage Of it. For the next
three years he hardly saw theatre, he
saws. but when his seventeenth birthday
came around it brought with it longing
for the queer things OF life behind the
scenes which he had known while he was
3 call boy at Barlums.
He Joined the company of Ada Caven-
dish. and afterward went to the Fifth Az
enue theatre He played big and little
parts in many plays. At different times
he appeared with Booth, Jefferson, Mary
Anderson. Nine Modjeska, Adelaide Nell
sou and other famous people OF the stage.
He took out one OF two companies OF his
own. Sometimes be made money rapidly,
sometimes he lost it fnstantaneously. he
learned his trade thoroughly, and when ne
went to the Madison Square theatre, dur
