AMUSEM
BON Ton

The management of this justly popu-
lar place has eclipsed itself this week
by a performance Of the highest merit.
From the very fact that SO excellent an
artist as George Thatcher, the prince of
black face comedians, appears twice
every night, the show ought to commend
itself to lovers of first class vaudeville.
Manager Dinkins, always alert for novel
ties to attract the public, has done Won
ders for Thanksgiving week. Certainly
a better body OF artists Of every II
has not been seen in this city. They are
individually and too much praise can
not be bestowed for their business. Those
well worth seeing are:-The Sa Vans,
France, equilibrists. in a refined acrobat
ic act. The novelty duo, Foreman and
West. in their latest sketch, entitled "A
Fresh, Acquaintance" Americas great
her unique -delineations; comedy musical
sketch team, Carr and Tourjee, playing
on a number of different musical instru-
Alice Sablon, and her miniature theatre.
The 1.-TWO Gentlemen of Verona" Girard
and Thompson, singing and dancing COM
edians. The dashing serio-comic, May
The up-to-date girls, the Sisters Bernard,
in popular songs and dances. The great
American juggler, Leonzo. introducing
juggling. balancing. japanese top spin
ming and plate manipulating. The come
dams, Merton and Coleman, in a laugh
able act. First appearance here of
Charles Whalen, eccentric comedian and
dancer. The worlds greatest novelty
dancer, Hal James, dancing with q light
ed lamp balanced on his head, at the
same rtirac hearing a handsome paper
tidy. Irisn jig. Irish reel and straight
Jig dancer and others. s
There is one thing especially commend
able in this Thanksgiving performance,
and that is ladies and children may wit
ness it without their delicate sensibili-
ties being IN the slightest degree
for. that innovation in a variety show.
There is no better palcc to enjoy an
hours clean u than at the Bon Ton
this week.

THE reduction of Detective Gallagher,
of Hoboken, to patrol duty appears to be
an act of brutal and wanton tyranny.
It is a blow at order and discipline. which
the force will not easily recover from.
Gallagher is one of the few efficient men
in the Hoboken Police Department He
has a brilliant record and a clean one,
too. There is nothing today out of which
even the fimsiest charges could be pom
structed, and SO the majority which
.turned him down had 10 resort to the
arbitrary and probably illegal course OF
attacking him by resolution. Gallagher
should certiorari fine action OF the Com
n~lissioners. He Will certainly win his

MOURNING FORM.
Excessive Crepe is Not Regarded as the
Best Sort of Etiquette.

Excessive mourning is not in "good
form" at present, and even the veil is
often omitted in best circles. This
burdening oneself with black is re-
ally in bad taste, and fashion is mer-
ciful in ordaining a change. The
customary seclusion from society is
also diminished, and at the lapse of
six months one may appear at infor-
NAL teas and sat home" receptions.
Some mourners at that time relieve
their sombre hue by introducing a
little white, and also claim the priv
ilege of attending places of amuse.
ment. 1t is in "good form" on seeing
death in the papers to leave cards
at the door of the bereaved family,
but no inscription lin addition to the
name) is required. 1t is also custom
airy for the bereaYed to send mourning
cards to their friends. Cards should
in return be left at the door, but it is
not necessary to see any of the family
Mourning cards should also be al
at once mailed TO distant friends
People in mourning do not receive
calls except from intimate friends
and this seclusion varies from three
months to double that time, according
to the nature OF the loss. 1t often
happens that death removes a burden
but society does not recognize any
distinction, and the fashion in funerals
is just as unreasonable as it is in other
points Of etiquette.

ART LINENS FOR THE TABLE.
The Latest EmbrOideries Both In White
and DnIicnte COlOrs.

The demand for art embroidered
table linens shows no diminution, and
many beautiful styles of work for this
purpose have recently been brought
out. There's great variety of styles,
shapes and shades, made OF fine linen,
lawn and edged with honiton lace.
Inside of the borders OF lace delicate
sprays of embroidery are stamped left
to be embroidered by hand in fine
silk floss. Another somewhat similar
style is called "ideal honiton." In
this, honiton lace is basted down and
buttonholed by hand in white silk,
the designs being made to fit the shape
OF the different patterns Of lace used.
Some have only lace embroidered in
white, while others have, in addition
an intermixture of embroidery to be
done either in white or colors.
OF course, in this work, the colors
must never be pronounced, and the
prettiest effect is what is called "opa
embroidery" IN this the flowers
leaves, etc. are worked in flo silk oil
various delicate shades of pink, blue
yellow, golden brown and green
blending in the same flower, or even
in the same petal, softly shading from
one tint to another in a way tina
makes the name "opal" seem very
appropriate. The most popular style
just now, because requiring less skill
to embroider, is done in white or col
ors on linen a little heavier than the
lawn just mentioned, the edges being
formed of the old fashioned buttonhole
scallops, which scallops, however, arr
of every fantastic shape.
The embroidery patterns on thes,
are usually simple floral designs, 81
that the whole is easily done.
Hemstitched doylies aud centre
pieces are usually done in the bes
wash silks, and are very pretty ant
serviceable.

TO BE BEAUTIFUL.
How to Obtain a Clear Complexion
With Cream aud Water.

With Cream aud Water.
The face should be thoroughly
washed twice day. This is espec-
tally important when the skin is
inclined to be be oily. The real secret
OF black-heads is that the face is not
washed frequently enough with soap
and water.
There is an art about washing the
face. Use cold or tepid water, never
hot water the latter causes contraction
OF the skin, which isinvariably followed
by reaction. The constant use of
hot water causes wrinkles, f1abbiness
and other things to be avoided.
Filtered rain water or water which
has been softened by chemical process
is absolutely necessary if you would
keep your complexion clear. The
face should be covered with a lather
made from good soap, which should
be we'll rubbed in with the hands.
Then wash the face in perfectly clear
water until every trace OF the soap is
removed. AEterward dry gently with
a soft towel. Rough friction should
never be used. II the skin is inclined
to be dry or harsh a little emollient
cream may then be gently rubbed in.
