the disadvantage of the small people, whose

out in costly and striking stuffs and modes
that distract the eye from their natural

still hold to the fine fannels and pretty soft

trimmed in suitably simple fashion, de

occasions. In white or cream the latter
goods wash well and so may be kept i'm

A CHARMING PRODUCTION.

Mrs. JOhn Drew and Her Finely Selected
Company In "The Rivals"
The comedy of comedies, in which
Mrs John Drew still stands, in spite of
her almost three.score and fourteen
years Of vigorous theatrical lsbors, as
the acknowledged queen, was presented
before large and apparently very
delighted audience at the Academy OF
Music last night.
But Mrs. Drew, as the only really ex-
cellent MRS. Malaprop'' on the stage
to-day, was not the sole life and wit of
Sheridan's most clever piece, "The
Rivals" She has on this occasion sur
rounded herself with artists nearly az

the several parts as is she herself &C
knowledged to be the one whom Sheridan
would probably have selected as the
personifcation of his creation of MRS

bright and sparkling in their parts and
showing the proper appreciation of the
genuine wit portrayed throughout the
whole piece.
One can hardly imagine, as a promi-

fed, loud, bustling. bombastic Mrs
Malaprop, with her gorgeous head
dresses and giddy gowns, tho retiring
unassuming little woman that Mrs.
Drew is in private. Yet we arc told
that that is what she is and every ap-
pearance leads to this conclusion. Mrs
