An evening fictlu, fashioned in Eliza

The Frou-FrOu collar, as worn by Ellen

finishes up a costume beautifully.
Beaded and sequin nets are finding favor
for waist trimmings. They give bright.

The following antique and modern laces

FOR theater, or evening wear in general,
the hat styles are without number. More
and more ladies every season are confirming
themselves to the small sensible shapes for
the theatcr. The cute little Dutch bonncts
have made many tbeatergoer happy, par
ticuiarly when the possibilities of eclipse
have been forCibly brought to mind by
nearby cart-wheely, tropical forest sort of
headgear.
WITH the passing of the Dutch bonnet and
the coming of somewhat larger shapes, there
is tendency on the part of many ladies TO
drift back TO tie aDIoyingly large hats ut

grace is totake off such q hat, just rs man

ONE OF the many stories which are told
about the late Eugene Field is OF little
joke he had at his wife's expense. They
had entered a street car to find all the
seats taken, save one at each end of the
car, and they seated themselves according
ly. When the conductor collected the fares
Mr.. Field announced in audible tones, as
he gave him a dime, at the same time
pointing to the far end of the car: This
is to pay the fare of the lady over there
the one wearing the new, beautiful brown
silk dress All eyes were turned to her
and her pretty face took most becoming
rose color, but back of the reproying glance
she threw at him was one of mingled
Indulgence, appreciation and mirth at The
unexpected and apparently truthful an
DOunccment.
THE precedent established by Miss Phil
brook. Hobokens woman lawyer, who
Wore he- toDnet while addressing the court,
is supported on The ground that the re-
movai Of teaGgear by woman lawyers
would neccssiiate the introductinn OF mir
roTs, hairpins and other fiXings Into the
most solemn courtroom. Therefore Miss
Phiibrcok's example may be sensibly fol-
lowed by OTHER feminine attorneys.
