Many of their efforts at government

individually they have exhibited a pru-

The Announcement of Henry Dixie Calls
for Full House.
The king of laugh-makers and most
noted of legitimate comedians, Henry
e. Dixey. the original "Adonis," will
commence an engagement at Evans
opera house on Thursday evening next,
Dec. 26. He will appear in Augustin
Daly's adaptation from the French en-
titled, THE Lottery of Love-" and will
be supported by an excellent company
of merry makers, including George Os-
borne. Miss Margaret Craven. Miss
Pauline French and other well known
favorites. Dixey stands to-day in the
foremost ranks as a comedian and in
this particular comedy has been COM
pared favorably with Coquelin, the
French comedian, who first played the
title role. His methods are novel and
original, and lovers of fun and clever
comedy should not miss this opportu-
nifty to witness a really first-class per-
formance given by first-class artists.
Dixey's reputation as a comedian is a
sufficient guarantee of the merit of the
forthcoming performance. Seats are
now on sale.
The success of 1.-The Lottery of Love"
being so pronounced that there is a
universal desire for its repetition, the
management therefore has decided to
repeat II this evening. "A Night or
will be produced at the Christmas mat
inee, and on Christmas evening "A
Night With Dixey" will be the attrac-
tion. in which the comedian will give
a number of his famous specialties and
limitations.

CHRISTMAS DELEGATES.

Things that Lend nn Air OF Novelty
to the Holiday Dinner.
The Christmas dinn-r speciality supplied this
year by confectioners comes in the form of
Illuminated ices. Electricity and tiny crystal
lamps are employed when a caterer arranges
the holiday feast, but any hostess can con-
trive to serve illuminated ices at her Christ
mas dinner by using bsd room tapers.
For a large form, to be brought on in cere-
mony by the waitress when all the dining
room lights are turned very low, a big block
of ice must be the foundation. This should
be followed out. turned down like a bell and
beneath 1t set. the instant before dessert is
brought on, a couple of inch long tapers, set
afloating in a small tea cup. The best effect
in arranging the ices is secured by cutting
the foundation block in the form Of a pyra-
mid, with letting points here and there along
it's surface. If the pyramid is very large
some three or four tapers will be needed for
illumination inside, while without. on all the
points Of the icy mound, must be set frozen
figures in ice cream, of whatever seems ap-
proprlate or convenient to serve at a Christ

Some Novel and Adorable FOllics of
the Toilet.


the Toilet.
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-In the pictures
here shown are demonstrated some Of
fashions latest wrinkles in details Of the
toilet.
The one in headgear. as can be seen, runs
to pure folly. AS far as utility goes there
is neither ryhme nor reason in big hats for
dress reformer could scarcely deny the ador-
able becomingness of some of the big
chapeaux now worn.
And If 1t is a difficult matter for two of
them to travel abreast through a wide door,
way, or sit in peace on the same carriage
seat, these are puny objections to the woman
who wants merely to be beautiful.
One reason Of the extreme becomingness Of
some Of the large hats is that the hats them
selves are often made entirely of velvet,
which texture shadows the hardest lines
t%enderly.
The shape most in favor Is the round, even
fiat" always fashionable in Paris, and
besides the velvet there are flats In braided
felt in one or more colors, in plain felt, and
In chenille.
An enormous quantity of trimming is used
and put on to produce a bread eff ct across
the front. Chameleon ribbons, or chameleon
silks, knife-plaited and doubled, and then
shaped to initiate flowers, will be massed
in great ~rosettes in front; and from these long
wings. with slender sword-like points, will
project far beyond the brim's edge.
Sometimes a hat will have a great bird
crouching in front, perhaps a very cross
looking poll parrot, its unfurled wings and
tail promoting the desired height Of crown

of course be surmounted by a large Ice cream
statue of Saint Nicholas.
A BLAZING BOAR'S HEAD.
The confectioners show molds in which
they will make a whole series of Christ
mas waits from sweet cream, each
S wait in one w dpa'nt 'I 1Itt1a sOc and
in the top Of his head, in which the smallest
of colored candles will be placed at the mo-
ment of serving. Another capital model for
a Christmas dessert piece is a half life-size
boar's head, done in frozen vanilla cream.
The-eyes are colored glass with tapers lit
In behind them, a big apple Of strawberry ice
is set in the jaws. a wreath Of holly circles
the neck and a rivulet of brandy, poured in a
second broader dish set under the one holding
the boar's head, burns brightly as the platter
is carried once around the table before serv-
ing.
Ices are, however, sometimes expensive.
sometimes not available. and II the house
keeper is sometimes in a quandary as how
best to supply her table with a simple novelty
on Christmas day, let her try a peach pudd-
ing, This will require one can or jar
Of preserved peaches, six eggs, three cups
Of milk, half a cup Of powdered sugar, two
tablespoonfuls of corn starch and one table
spoonful of butter. Scald the milk, stir in
the corn starch, wet with cold milk, and
cook, still stirring, until 1t begins to thicken.
Take from the fire and beat in the melted
butter, then the yolks of three eggs and the
whipped whites Of two. Lastly add the sugar
and whisk the whole up to a Tight cream.
Drain all syrup from the peaches, lay them
in a bake dish, pour over the mixture and
set in the oven ten minutes, then spread
with a meringue of the four remaining whites
and a little sugar, Let this tinge to a light
brown in the oven. and serve the pudding
hot, with peach juice for a sauce, or cold
with cream.

and sixteenth centuries.
The gay Parisians, however. are reyiving
this old measure for the sake Of its pistur-
esque effects, and the pavane, or the pavana,
is becoming vastly popular In American ball
rooms. 1t Is a Frenchman, Emile Michelet,
who. in speaking of this old dance, adds, sit
Is necessary that those who dance it, be en-
dowed with beauty" This is all very easily
arranged, for all maids and matrons arrayed
in flmy, diaphanous ball gowns are beautiful
and the men-it Is the men above all, who
add the touch of picturesqueness to the scene,
in caps adorned with long plumes, velvet
capes. embroidered with gold, and precious
stones and swords at their sides, like gay
cavaliers of Louis XIV's time.
To have seen the pavana danced. one should
have lived in the time Of Margaret of Valois,
who was endowed with every gift of the
graces. "her body, as finely nodded as that
Of a Greek goddess. glowed in the pavana,
like a full-hown flower of humanity swaying

Of this Partisan dancer in the solitude of their

the capital for his home, his eye forever daz-
zled by a vision Of lightness and beauty.
Another old dance revived which is per-
haps more in accord with modern tastes is

The leader should open the dance with his
