Remove jewel from an old setting
and surround it with a new and more
appropriate one and it will shine with
renewed brilliancy. This is the idea
that at present imbues the mind of the
Metropolitan opera house management,
and they intend to give that old oper-
attic jewel, .sPinafore," an elaborate and
appropriate setting all the week begin
ming tonight. The opera as put on at
the Metropolitan will be a marvel of
scenic and mechanical effects. In the
first act the arrival of the barge of Sir
Joseph Porter, K. G. B., and the &C
companying salutes are very effective.
The first gun from vessel at the far
thest end OF the harbor is heard but
family, then a second and third nearer
and nearer until finally the guns

forth welcome that rolls and rever-
berates through the house like the
sound of thunder. In the second act
the effect of the rising moon and the
ships, rocking at anchor in the harbor,
bathed in the moonlight, presents a
scene of Understandable grandeur and
sublimity. This scene will surpass any,
thing ever before witnessed on the local
stage, and no one should fail to see it.
That the opera will be we'll sung and
acted is guaranteed in advance by the
excellent work of the Winston Opera
company in other and heavier operas.
To pass pleasant evening in
the rich, commodious and cool
surroundings afforded by the Metro
politan is positive treat and
should be taken advantage of by all st.
Paul amusement lovers. As "Pinafore"
is great favorite with the ladies and
children,a special matinee will be given
"Wednesday in addition to the regular
matinee Saturday. Miss Winston will,
during the action of the opera. interpo-
late the song. 1.-The Bay of Biscay."
The new baritone of the company, j.
Donneli Balfe. who plays the part of
the boatswain, will sing the famous
song. II Am an Englishman." During
the opera popular tenor solo will be
sung by Adam Warmth, young Ger
man tenor of this city, who is the pos
SCISSOR of wonderfully sweet voice.

FACES IN MINIATURE.
Miss Cecile E. Payen Paints Them
on RoundelS of Ivory,

The school of art to which miniature
painting belongs has had separate ex-
istence, although it can scarcely he said
to have fourished for thirteen hundred
years. Of miniature pOrtraiture little,
comparatively, is known even by those
who have made an especial study of the
history of art; and therefore the coming
to st. Paul of an artist devoted to this
school should be a matter OF cOngratu-
latiOn to all those gifted with a taste for
the beautiful.
Miss Cecile E. Payen, whose home
and studio is In Chicago, is not only a
natural, but an accomplished miniatur-
iSt. Her gifts are an exquisite sense Of
form and color, together with fine del
icacy of touch. After having studied
for some years in this country. Miss
Payen went to Paris, where she devoted
five years to the study of her art. The
most famous miniaturist in France, and
one of the leading painters of the day
in this line, is NJ. Topart. He gets
his own prices for his work, and per
mits students to enter his studio but
rarely, and only when they have espe-
cial ability to recommend them. Miss
Payen was fortunate i'm being taken
into his studio. In addition to the crit
ical direction OF NJ. Topart, she devoted
herself to the study of drawing in the
regular schools. She neither painted
for money nor exhibition. but only to
acquire. The result was that when she
had finished her course she was thor
Oughly well equipped, and having now
art, the facility with which She portrays
face Oh tiny rounded of IVORY is
magical.
The thin. delicate slips Of Ivory upon
which miniatures have been painted
since the close of the seventeenth cent
! ury give beautiful warm transparency
| to the flesh tints that is often too ideal
Frequently this fact of a warm-toned
and exquisitely smooth surface de-
tracts from the strength and truth
OF expression i'll miniatures. How
! ever, Miss Payen SO skillfully man
ages the subtle nuanceS of light
and shade tha6 the changefulness
/! that is the reflection of the inner
| individuality in the mirror of the face
| is always suggested, even in the tiniest
space. Indeed, SO loyal is Miss Payen
| to the true spirit of art, and so success
| full is she in her line, that 1t is not too
| much to expect that her work will one
| day rank with that of Penelope CIeyn
and Mary Beale, whose names, through

where they always attracted marked at.
tentiOn. and is now preparing a coliec-
ton for exhibition at the Columbian
exhibition in Chicago in 1893.
| Miss Payen is at present making a
visit to Mrs. Philip s. Harris, III Col
lege avenue, where she will be pleased
to exhibit specimens of her work to all
who may call from 9 O'Clock a. m. to

HOW TO BECOME ACTRESSES.
Rose Eytinge Gives Some Excel
lent Advice to Young Women.

NOSC UlVcS SOInc EXCGl.
lent Advice to Young Women.
Women who want to go on the stage.
Their name is legion. From every walk
of life they come.
See that group of girls circling round
on the lawn at Tuxedo, or iounging in
the hammock at Newport, writes Rose
Eytinge. Listen to their talk. 1t is of
last years private theatricals, and this
years plans for the same, and in the
group is sure to be one or more who is
telling her companions that she is not
satisfied with the plaudits of her
friends. but that she is going to put her
fate to the touch and 20 upon the real
stage, and receive her need of praise
from the dear pubiic's thousand hands.
Listen. however much you would pre-
fer not TO do so, to the conversation,
favored with chewing gum, which the
young women OH one side of the cOun-
ter at Mays are INDUCING in, while
you, on the other, are gasping in i'm
patience.
1t is sure to be of the stage STACEY.
Listen to the group of staid maidens
who are filing out of the Sunday school
room. They are planning a dramatic
entertainment, oStenSibly to raise funds
for some strictly orthodox charity.
Really to give themselves an opportun-
fly to indulge their mad desire to act.
What is true of the young maidens is
also true of the young men, and what
is true of the young maidens and young
men is also true of their parents. Now,
the fact being thus clearly demonstrated
that so large propol ton of our young
folk are looking towards the stage as
the goal of their hopes, the thing in
order to do would seem to be to point
out to them the best and safest road to
reach it.
We have all heard Daniel Webster's
famous words. There is always room
at the top" True. but the upper strata
of air is rarified and cold, and young
birds need warmth. Besides, every
''star," whether man or woman, needs
dozen "stock," both men and women,
to support them. And the "star" has
been taught through that most reliable
but expensive teacher, experience, that
the better this support" on the stage
the better will be the support he
will receive from the box Office.
Now this goes to prove that for every
man OF woman who attainS to ''star''

ten of the women who ride wheel pre-
sent an appearance which is sure to
give spectator positive chills of hor-
rorS.
And it is so unnecessary.
Women-sOme of them-Seem to think
they are riding In vacuum. They are
apparently in bliSsful Ignorance of the
effect which a stiff breeze has upon
such Stuffs as gingham and thin silk.
They do not know that any critical by
stander could guess their weight to
pound.
But, then, all women are not so!
One of the best riders in st. Paul, for
Example, is gotten up so in harmony
with the peculiar conditions of riding.
that she presents an ideal bicycle tout
ensemble.
In the first place, her gown is of
heavy dark blue serge, SO wide that four
yards only were required for the entire
suit The skirt is lined with a lighter
weight serge of the same color. so that
the wind does not catch it and initiate
it into generous and irrepreSsible
balloon.
A divided skirt of still lighter weight
serge is worn under the dress, and black
tights under the skirt. These three
pieces cling to each other with a truly
commendable loyalty, SO that the dress
is prevented from creeping up and max
ing liberal display of ankle.
The waist is plain. tight-fittfng
habit waist, with revers collar. inside of
which chemisette and neat cravat are
worn. 10
A dark blue sailor hat is preferred by
this rider because it shades the eyes.
Brown, rubber-soled shoes and brown
gauntlet gloves complete a costume
which is as satisfactory to the spectator
as 1t is TO the wearer.
Still another st. Paul woman, who
presents an Unusually good appearance
''on the road" wears suit made of
dark gray, slightly mixed covert cloth.
With it she wears black bicycle cap.
and black kangaroo shoes. The rubber
soled shoes are disliked by many ladies,
who say that they ''draw" the feet. In
such cases. the kangaroo shoes are per-
fectly comfortable and do not slip on
the pedals.
Blouse waists are permissible for
country riding, but are not considered
the proper thing in the city, as they are
so disarranged by the wind.
For summer new gloves have been in
trOduced which combine GOODNESS with
durability. They are made of Isle
thread, but the palm of the hand, where
it grasps the handle, is lined with kid.
A beginner, however, need not worry
her pretty head about costume. If
she is wise she will take the oldest dress
she has, tor after the ten or dozen
lessons which will put her in command
of her wheel, she will be very glad to
resign her initiation robe to the first
ragman that puts in an appearance.
Then let her use her common sense in
the selection of good, strong, heavy ma
terial. Let her have it made with a
short, even skirt, opening on the left
hip, AID having most of the gathers 10
the sides and back. Have basque
which shall fit as neatly as the rubber
tire Oh her wheel. Ii she covets cap,
let her review herself from all points of
the compass before she purchases it, for
caps and coiffures are not always
Ell rapport, and, with neat gloves and
comfortable shoes, she may mount in
peace, with the satisfaction of feeling
that she is the right thing in the right
place.

where brandy and cigars and
such like vanities are almost
given away. The blow came on quite
suddenly. We got her under close
reefed mainsail and tiniest spitfire Jib
you ever saw set on Eel Ose-reefed"
bowsprit. The sea ran so hi gh that we
were afraid to run. the little cutter.
Presently it piped so savagely that we
decided to bend the maintrySail and
heave-to. We went below to get it out
of the locker, when suddenly we dis
covered that we had left it ashore to
have new cloth put IN to the after
leech, OH which family of Norway rats
had fed to it's detriment.
Here was pretty kettle of fish! The
gale all the time. was increasing, and
the sea in the English channel is Pc
culiarly vicious when it blows hard
from the southwest. We were in a
quandary. The skipper suggested that
we should try the sea anchor. which an
enterprising firm of sallmakers at Cos
port had presented him with. 1t was a
cone-shaped bag of canvas, its
mouth being distended by collapsible
ring of iron. We bent to it about
sixty fathoms of two and a-half-inch
MANILA line, and after taking in the jib
ing out the line handsomely. The sea
anchor held the water splendidly. In a
minute or two the yacht came head to
wind. We lowered the mainsail and
furled it. and like duck the cutter rode
head to the sea, making splendid wealth
er of it-far better than if she had been
hove-to. For sixteen hours the gale
blew furiously. You can imagine its
violence when l assure you that big
ships were running before it under their
three lowered topsails, fOresall and fore
topmast staysail.
Of course cooking was out of the
question, but we cOntrlved to boil some
coffee in spirit lamp, and one of my
shipmates immortalized himself by a
new dish. He got four fat and juicy
Yarmouth bloaters and placing them in
a frying-pan deluged them with some
very strong Scotch whsky-the real old
stuff that never paid duty. Then he set
fire to the whisky and steadying the fry.
