One use of green in general way is almost discovery of the last ten years. Green velvet, edged with green and gold tinseling and sometimes in combi- nation with yellow in moderation, is much used on rough black cloths.
 Green velvet, in two shades, very dark and very light, or all in the dark, goes well with black plumes and the inevitable glinting buckles of steel or paste.
 Heavy green cloths, heavy in effect If light in texture, are predominant in the out of door costumes, recalling Robin Hood and his Lincoln green.
 Dark green velvet goes this year with white or black fur in all manner of combinations.
 And combination that seemed novel and daring even five years ago, very pale green silk with pale pink silk, for evening wear is quite as popular as the brown and yellow neighbors. Pistache and strawberry ice in the one case. chocolate and cocoanut in the other There are colors in the cuisine well worth copying.
 Paris is leading the world in it's devo- tion to the knickerbocker-is ahead of the world, at any rate, if one doubts the leadership.
 In the Bois one hears of black silk tights with short jackets of the bolero type, and of white shirts with mannish waistcoats overlapping knickerbockers of all manner of bright colors, ''so

This was too much, ard lusty ensign waltzed him out of tLs hall. Outside. the reporter gave the ensign chance to recognize masquerading brother, Adjt. Caygill, an ex-dramatic critic. He returned and gave his views on sal vation as applied to himself.
 Commander Booth, to use the express sion of the War Cry, was ..the bell weether of the occasion." and guided. abetted and encouraged, his followers, whether in the "As De Veren state of nonconversion, or the "As We Are" stage of saved Salvationists. His speech was fervid and moving one.
 The members of the troupe were drawn from points within fifty-nile radius If their ante-converted state was one that dramatically underscored their salvation uniform, they were es- pecially wanted. They helped to point the moral more effectively.
 Nevertheless, they were all glad to get back into army serge and scarlet again. Capt. Anderson, the lady whose sleeves had stood ont like balloons, re- marked that she wouldn't like to die with these clothes on.
 Brig. Perry's immense dude col lar called forth jest from the convert laundryman, who said few of these at two cents apiece would put the shut ters up on laundry pretty quick.
 Adjt. Caygill, the reporter, acted his part the best. To quote the modest words of praise of one of his salvation ist brethren: ITO him belongs the cake. :" He fooled everybody, reporters and Sal vatienists.
 The stLrn officers of the army with their slum boys set in the second gal lery and thoroughly enjoyed and ap- plauded the realistic work of the corps on the stage.
 If some features of the commercial side of the arrny's work slightly shock the sensitive religionist, 1t is because they are not understood. Quite com fortable sum of money was taken in by this most unique exhibition, but every cent of it goes to the saving of souls. The Salvation Army is not on the make.
 What Commander Booth inventive mind will next devise it is impossible to tell. He will have some difficulty in bettering this.
 The War Cry expresses his view of the matter when it says: .There was a splendid spiritual side to it. Some of the costumes were triae amusing,

And both in Paris and in quickly re- sponsive New York there is plan for tightening the bicycle wear, and re- ducing the bulk about the waist, by sewing the bloomer legs and the skirt, when there is one, to the same band so that they can go together, and the wearer can never yield to the tempta- tion to get rid of the one that's outer most. iasgt esxI8z
 The bicycle skirt is always scant, but it's scantiness of appearance is modified in fact by wide side plaits.

how 1t would move him depends on the character of the person, and, according to Commander Booth, on the influence from on high with regard to each indi- vidual soul. But every beholder could see that these people had come from the highways and by-ways to be leavened into the unity of Christian grace That is what Commander Booth wanted all to see, and then he wished to say: sGo thou and do like wise" A fine, homely showl A great, yet simple conception of this leader of Christian soldiers.
 The exhibition was a success. It was novel and the jaded appetite of the age loves novelty. It was startling mixture of the grotesque and the digni- fled which was not funny, nor disgust ing, nor depraving, although it was amusing in the better sense of the word.
 Three thousand people looked at the group on the stage, where the dude, the convict, the railway man, wild west cowboy, baseball player, nurse, cap and mortarboard young woman, bartender, German officer, anarchist, hummer, all stood with a sssee us as we were" pro- fession of faith.
 After beholding and hearing this mot ley group while it sounded in different keys the selfsame anthem: II am saved, , fifteen men testified to the soundness of Commander Booths views as to the effect of such an entertainment by wailing for their sins at the penitent form.
 There was little character acting in the performance-enough to em- phasize the story that the dresses told. The 'barkeeper," for instance, bounced tramp that wanted drink for noth- ing, and . War Cry boomer gently led away the stricken waif. The cowboy let 8 real bullet shoot off a stuffed coon from it's perch.

THE WINTERS BIG STARS.
Many Noted European Artists to
 Appear in America
A Brilliant Opera and Concert Season for New York City and Elsewhere Names of Many Old Favorites
 in the Lists.
ooPYRIGHr. 1895.

It is very evident that our managers In the realms of musical art are firmly impressed with the conviction that hard times are thing of the part, and that the music-loving portion Of the public, at least, is about entering upon an era of unexampled prosperity, and in fact, to speak in expressive slang, will have money to burn.
 Looking over the announcements for the season of 1895-6, for grand and comic opera and concert, sentiment of wonder ar1ses as to whence the people and money are to come to support so overwhelming an array of attractions gathered from the choicest stores of Europe and America.
 In forecasting an amusement sea- son, the factor demanding most atten- tion is, of course, the opera, which for three months is the accepted meeting ground of art and society. A sensation of profound commiseration for the musical critic will arise in every sympa- thetic breast when it is realized that in New York there will be this year at the opera no less than seven performances a week, three regular Franco-Italian subscription nights. German per- formance Thursday evening, matinee, and popular evening representations on Saturday, and on Sunday night the usual concert. Messrs. Abbey and Grau announce season of thirteen weeks as heretofore, followed by a tour which will include the cities of Boston, Baltimore, Washington, Phila- delphia, Cincinnati, Chicago and St. Louis, and lastly the customary sup mentary season in New York city.
 The company will include most of last years artists, with the two prominent exceptions of Mme Eames and Signor Tomagno, whose absence will, however, be in some sort offset by the return of Mile. Calve, who will doubtless renew her triumphs of the year before last. It is much to be regretted that Mme. Sem brick, an accomplished aud versatile woman as well as great singer, will not come to America after all, having decided to avail herself of clause in

AN UNUSUAL EXHIBITION.
New Feature in tho Campaign of
 the Salvation Army.
Gen. Booths Latest Movc = saIvationists Appear in the Same Guise They Wore Before Conversion Startling Con-
 trasts and Dramatic Incidents.
COPYRIGHT. 1895

The extraordinary spectacle to which band of Salvationists was lately ac- cessory in the barracks on Fourteenth street was quite in line with the ideas of Mir. Ballington Booth, leader of this modern array of crusaders. Commander Booth believes that everything in the word, except sin, may be proiitably en- listed in crusade against sin. The near est approach he makes to using the devil and his works as adjutants of the army is by presenting the sinner that was, as an example and indictment, to the saved that are to be.
 This was the thought that led him to organize this remarkable exhibition in the barracks. He presented his Saliva tionists in the same guise which they wore in the days when they were unre- generate worldlings, to whom the bless ings of grace were either unknown or an aversion. Some of those who figured in their old worldly roles, flor this oeea- sion only,n were so far removed from their days of unregenerateness that they had no small difficulty in obtain ing the costumes in which they were to appear. But they were there, bright and shining examples of brands snatched from the burning.
 Then came the contrast and the les son, when this strange agglomeration of human beings, comprising the most divergent types of human life and ac- tivity, appeared in the uniform livery of the Salvation Army. The balloon sleeves of the woman of the world, the cap and apron of the cook, the naval habiliments of Jack Tar, the slouchy stormlinen of the girl from the Bowery, the Jumper" and greasy trousers of the 'longshoreman, the Haunting finery of the demi-mondaine- all and each of these distinctive types was lost in the submerging blue serge of the Salvation ists' livery. They had put off sin to put on Christianity.
 Certainly this unique entertainment could not fail to move anyone; but

aver of each that he is par excellence, ''the only violinist, my dear sir!''
 Paderewski returns this year! This bare statement is sufficient to arouse in the readers mind pictures of wild en- thusiam, emotional insanity and all the accessories which adorned the Polish pianist's last tour in this country. An other artist on the piano, young American woman, Mme. Fanny Bloom field-Zeisler, is in all likelihood des- tined to come in for a large share of approbation She certainly seems to have won abundant and discriminating praise in Germany.
 A late piece of news, and one which will be very welcome oaH lovers of re- fined art. is to the effect that Mir. Ra- fael Joseffy will emerge from his retire. ment which has now lasted for several years, and cross lances with Paderew- ski for the laurels of popularity. In spite of the fact of his wearing his hair in the normal fashion it is safe to pre- diet that he will hold his own in the contest.
 No mention of our concert season would be complete that did not include the name of that most delightful young American siger, Mime. Lillian Blauvelt, whom we shan hope to hear very often during the winter. New aspirants for concert honors are an American con- tralto, Marie Vandevecr-Green, of whom English critics speak in high praise, and the baritone, Frangcon- Davies, who will sing in slr. Henschel's s'Stabat Matex-"

it is true, and there was considerable of the dramatic about the meeting, but both were more than offset by the weighty testimonies and the feeling of deep conviction present. If anyonc's mind was troubled with a wee doubt as to the affair being of God, it must have been completely dispelled when thirteen souls came forward at the commanders invitation and cried for mercy. That was sufficient evidence for rs. Was it not for you?"
 Thirteen. souls saved, seed sown in hundreds of others that may fructlfy unto salvation, several hundred dol lars netted for army work and an original self-sacrificing flow for the Great Captain by thirty salvationists, which will be to their own credit in the hereafter. That is the way the army regards this unique entertainment. Commander Booth has scored on every hand.

her contract allowing her to withdraw from it any time before September 1. Mime. Melba will not join the company until the latter part of December, after completing her concert tour, on which she will be accompanied by the peren- nial but ever-popular Sealehi, the neces- sary Bauermeister, the youthful D'Au- bigne, and that most admirable bari tone Campanari-all of whom will re- turn with the great prima-donna to join the operatic forces.
 The new names in the Franco-Italo- German company will be those of Januschowsky, Marie Brema, Lola Beeth, Marie Engel, Frances Saville, Clara Hunt, Amelia Kitzu and Rosa Oluzka. Mime. Nordica will return and plunge headlong into Wagnerian roles with what success remains to be seen. We shall also welcome back with great pleasure that sterling artist, Mime. Mantelli
 The tenors will, of course, be headed by Jean de Reszke, who, like Mime. Nordica, appears to have reached a Wagnerian epoch in his career, and will present in German his version of the Bayreuth composers Tristan, Sieg- mund, etc. A new tenor for such roles as Don Jose in Carmen" will be Hubert from the Opera Comique in Paris. Then there will be a young Italian lyric tenor, by name Cremonini, and a Ger man, Walnofer.
 The new baritones will be Kasch- mann (heard during the opening sea son at the Metropolitan) and Devries. from the Grand Opera, Paris. Old friends on the list are Campanari, Maurel, Ancona and Carbone.- The passes, headed by Plancon and Edouard de Reszke, will be reinforced by an Italian, Sig. Arimondi Bevignani, Sepilli and Seidl will be the leaders of the orchestra, Mancinelli being de- tained in Italy by the illness of his wife. The only novelties listed for production are 'Le Cid," and La Navarraise," by Massenet, and La Vivandiere, of Ben jamin Goddard.
 Mir. Walter Damrosch, much encour- aged by his marked success of last year, will again enter the managerial field, with fine company of singers organ lZcu SpCCldily Ni1u d FlCW tO tuc pTtS- entation of Wagner's works. He has secured the two brightest among the younger stars of the Wagnerian man agement, Mines. Klaffsky and Ternina, who have aroused much genuine en- thusiasm across the water. Mines. Mulder and Stoll from leading German opera houses will be prominent mem bers of the company; also the sympa- thetic Gadsli, who created so favora- ble an impression last year. The in- dispensable Alvary will, of course, re- turn, the other tenors being Herren Wilhelm, Gruening and Barron Ber- thold. The baritone and bass forces will include Herren Fischer Mertens,

suggestion, but which has received an elaborate musical setting from Herr Humperdinck. This novelty in opera will first see American light at Daly's theater, where it will be produced by Sir Augustus Harris with a company and trappings imported from Londoa
 Turning to the concert announce ments for the winter, one is fairly con- founded at their number and attractive ness. At the Metropolitan, New York CTS will enjoy series of fine concerts, beginning November 14, by that mag nifcent organization, the Boston Sym phony orchestra, under the direction of MT. Paur. There will be also at this house the usual Philharmonic concerts under Mir. Seidl's leadership; and in March MT. Theodore Thomas will re- turn to the city of his early triumphs to give a series of seven concerts with his admirable orchestra and selected soloists.
 At Carnegie music hall Mr Damrosch will conduct the Oratorio and Sym phony societies, as in previous years. The former of these organizations will present interesting revivals of Han del's Allegro Penseroso,n and Hay dyn's Seasons" George Henschel's .sStabat Mater'' is also down for pro duction, and will be led by the com poser in person. At the first concert of the Symphony society, Mime. Clemen- tine de Vere-Sapio will appear after an absence of some years from our concert stage. In addition to the concerts of these prominent societies there will be others, far too numerous to mention here. In the domain of chamber music prime attraction will be the Kneisel quartette Of Boston.
 A perfect tidal wave of violinists will sweep over us from Europe (and the war between them is likely to be merry one) Taking them in alphabet ical order there is MarsiclS, Franco Belgian of aristocratic mien; Ondricek, an Austro- Bohemian with tossed and tangled hair, whom his admirers liken to Paganini Then there are two Frenchmen, Rivarde, resembling, they say, both in looks and methods, the great Spaniard, Sarnsate, and fairly hypnotizes his hearers; and last, but not least, the great Sauret. All of these men are first prizes of the Paris conservatoire, and their several agents

 Those picture hats of quaint de- vices are well in the lead, no doubt; o;cture hats in gray with big black blobs of curly ostrich tips tumbling forward from the back of the crown as # in haste to arrive somewhere; picture hats in black with silver filigree and nlumes in white or black, or both; pie tnre hats tremulous with lace, vibrant with coelSades, glittering with jet and steel: picture hats with huge bows of watered silk or sheening satin-of all these the ostrich plumes and tips are the usual and typical adornment.

 And there is the diee-box hat, or stee- pled-crowned, or hourglass-crowned or beefeater, not to mention other less poetic epithets; of these, however, one sees more within than without the shop windows, though they may grow in fa- yor
 One looks upon the velvet bow upon Tam as rather an oddity at first, but it is velvet season.
 Velvet and ostrich tips and plumages go together with a certain richness of effect approved by centuries. Nor are the color possibilities restricted to black and white. A magnificent hat of royal blue velvet with huge and many black plumes above it's low crown is one daring but successful color scheme; and yellows and browns and straw colors open to view a wide range of chromatic possibilities.
