of us who cling to Scranton in our
theatre-going moments will see Nine.
Rejane. Therefore we will have to take
peep at her through the medium of
print. and borrowed peep at that.
Says our informant: whoever said
,that she Was not Nodded by Michael
Angelo was right. She was not nodded
by CoysevoS. either; In her physiog-
nomy there are noitraits. 1t is fright
fully intelligent face,as witty as FUR
mace full of little Parisian devils. 1t is
all style, thought, and grace, natural
and studied Her flhir, copper-colored,
crowns a forehead which is vast,
storehouse of science. Her dark
eyes look at one tiXedly, and have
no lashes, like those of Mona Lisa,
painted by Leonardo da Ninci Her
nose is undecided, her mouth Is
extremely sensitive to smiles and to
seriousness, and she gives one at
once an impression of enigmatic charm
and of original grace. She loves life,
passion, vivid words, steel-edged epi-
grams white-teeth laughter, healthy
Joy and sanity irony, She comes from
Athens. and yet she is French-nay
more, Parisian--to the tips of her fin
gers. Nine. Rejane receives 81, 600 every
time she plays, and her expenses are
paid besides which she is allowed
maid and dressmaker"
There was a Commotion in WASH
ingto theater the other night. says
the Max ORell-like. pen-artist or the
capital who chronicled it, Three Ia
dies walked down the center aisle.
They wore hats; hats of florid style
of architecture, and covered WIN
luXuriant vegetation. strong men
shuddered and grew pale with anxiety
as to where those hats would eVentu-
ally locate themselves, and as the Ia
dies slowly moved to the front the reel
ings of the audience verged upon the
stormy and tumultuous. At last they
were seated well down toward the or
chestra, and at least 100 persons-those
directly in the line of sight-turned
wan and CHASTITY with despair. In
moment, however, nimble fingers We're
at work. and before the watchers could
gulp down their first wild anguish, the
hats disappeared. and three Sleek
shapely, and inoffensive heads ap-
peared in place of them" VIII the
like of ii ever occur in Scranton?
OF all the queer symposiums inaugu-
. rated by certain unique periodical de-
voted to the realm of the fair SEX, the
most peculiar, asserts the Philadelphia
Record will undoubtedly be the forth
coming discussion of the significance
and use of the relative terms woman
and lady" By the strange whirligig
of time the term lady has. come to
have that generic differentiation which
gentleman has obtained over the
, plain man" Perhaps, indeed, the IT,
tied danes of foreign lands will be in
;, dignGnt. to learn that their exclusive
right to this linguistic courtesy is being
wrested from them by plebian daugh-
ters of Eve. To certain extent it is
convenient to accept the modern GUS
tom concerning these words; but, real
", lady" and woman" both refer to
the wife. Both are good old Anglo
Saxon terms, and the LADY" of yore
was the "loaf-keeper." A lady who
cannot bear the title of woman" is al
most as much to be pitied as a "wo-
man" who does not feel herself entitled
to be styled lady
An unique entertainment planned by
a number of gifted Jewish women in
Chicago would, it would seem, form
desirable post-Lenten advertisement in
Scranton, especially in view Of the To-
T cal interest now evinced in Venetian
topics, consequent upon the Shaw lee
lures in Young Mems Christian asso-
citation hall. 1t Is, in brief, Venetian.
masque ball which will be as nearly
as possble'a a perfect imitation Of the
j. scenes enacted in the marble palace of
the Doges when the heroes from the
shrine of ST. Marks ruled all the seas
and half the world. The most notable
single feature will be floats represent
ing the four quarters of the globe,
and among the emblems to be shown
will be beautiful and artistic represent
tations of faith, hope and charity. 1t
Is intended that this event shall even
surpass the Mardi 'Gras at New Or
leans. In addition to these, new and
entirely original ideas will be intro
duced in the display. There will be a
. dozen tableauX at least, all of which
will be participated in, by both profess
sional and amateur performers. Fol-
lowing the procession on which the
- fun blaze of the calcium lights will be
turned during its entire course, there
will be q sham battle of flowers. In
this part of the programme the specta
tors as well as the dancers will be eX
pected to take a hand in the melee.
The object of the Chicago enterprise
$, is a charitable one, and 1t would seem
to offer a good basis for imitation in
the Chicago of the East"
Speaking of unique entertainments,
New York, too, offers one for our con-
templation-the international display
of costumes held in Madison Square
garden under the auspices of the Young
-women's Christian association. The
object OF the exhibition is to show the
evolution of the present style of dress
and for this purpose 800 figures will be
exhibited, each representing some peri
cd in history that denotes change in
costume. These historical costumes
win be one of the main features of the
exposition, but the show of modern
dresses will be no less Interesting. The
gowns Of all the historic grand danes
and professional beauties will be seen.
and the great dudes of history will be
represented in costumes exactly as the
tailors of those times would cut them.
In the great amphitheater will be
erected many booths, and here will be
shown by all the leading miliners, cos
tunes and manufacturers the very lat
est and most modish of modern cos
tunes for both sexes. This affair may
also contain valuable suggestion for
those who are given to chasing the nim-
