Winning Fame.

The Misses Hall, Jessie and Blanch,
who bave many friends here and else
where have earned an enviab.e repu-
tation in the dramatic profession.
That they are well fitted for their
chosen profession the extracts here
given from press notices and letters
from theatrical managers will show.
A reporter was recently shown letters
from two frst-class theatrical manag-
ers and authors, OF the east, who have
several fine companies now travelling,
in which both are now negotiating
with Jessie Mae Hall for next season.
One Of the managers states in his let
ter to Mr.. Marx l. Swan, the husband
of Jessie Mae Hall: al am looking for
soubrette, aud | know from the in
quiry have made that both you and
Miss Hall are just the kind Of people,
personally, that | like to have in my
companies, and also know that Miss
Hall IS one Of the very best soubrettes
on the American stage" In the other
man ager's letter he says "Mr.--(r ire
ferring 10 a certain manager) asked me
how 1 thought Miss Hail compared
with the star of his company. told
him there was no comparison possible,
as | did not consider his star In the
same class with Miss hail." and closes
By saying: "I want Miss Hall for my
new play" This is simply quoting
the high opinion OF managers. Miss
Hail has a highly cultivated voice,
which, with her dramatic ability,
commands a good salary. She was at
the head Of her own splendid company
last season but is starring this season
with another company. Her husband
is an actor aud author OF note, and
always travels with her.
Miss Blanch Hall, sister of jessie
Mae Hall, is the soubrette Of the Bos-
ton Comedy company, aud is getting
fine press notices wherever she ap-
pears, one OF which, from paper in
Lima. Ohio. says: "The Boston
Comedy company whose engagement
here closes tonight, is one Of the best
that has ever played IN this city. IL
would be difficult to say who is the
general favorite unless indeed, it is
Miss Blanch Hall. She is a charming
and vivacious little aotress, and is one
of the strongest members in the com
pany; her playing has none of that
staginess aGecta.ion that mars
the playing of many a better actress
Her playing is natural-slmply hold
ing the mirror up to nature"

Liverics of uncommon and unheraldic
shades are more common in England
than on tho continent. The Blounts, for
instance, dress their servants in Mareng0
pepper and salt. and there is 20 be seen
in the parks a well known livery Of vio-
let. with amaranthine facings-a rather
startling combination. However, as a
rule, good form and good taste are on
the side Of simplicity, and the habitual
livery in the best English houses is a
black or dark coat, with only the colored
or striped waistcOat and the dress white
tie. The long white tie fastened with a
pin is only allowable TO the coachman
and the footman who rides on the box.
The butler in England permits him
self or is permitted TO indulge in a IL
cense which is unheard Of abroad. He
appears till dinner time in a dress coat,
the rest Of the costume being emphatic
ally a morning one. Abroad this is new
or done. Either this functionary docs
not show, OF he is invariably in q full
dress suit. On great occasions and IN
some aristocratic houses this is ex-
changed for the black coat "a In Fran
caise," tho black silk breechos and stock
ings, and sometimes even aslender court
sword, sheathed In black. Tho con
ciergo or hall porter on gala days wears
a rich, heavy gallooned uniform, shoes
and silk hose. his big cooked hat worn
straight across tho forehead On bataillo
and he carries a tall, massive. silver
headed cane
For coachman and footmen the wintol
many capped overcoat has been almost
entirely superseded 10y the hugo fur tip
pets and long fur cuffs reaching nearly
to tho elbow. Some Of these have beer
