OLGA'S FIRST SMOKE.
Miss Nethersole Tried Cigar, But
Later Used Cigarettes.

Miss Nethersole Tried u Cigar, but
Later Used Cigarettes.
Miss Olga Nethcrso!c, the English actress,
has been known ever since she made her
first appearance on the stage as a firm be-
lever that the author of play knows more
about the business and properties of it than
does any one else. Her opinion underwent
n slight change when rehearsing Carmen"
The book calls on the heroine 10 smoke u
cigar.
II think you'd better not try that, Miss
Nethersole," suggested the stage manager.
"Indeed, 1 WILL" was the reply. 'Give
me 4 cigar and a match. The author said
Carmen was to smoke a cigar, and that's
what Carmen is going to do"
Miss Nethersoles brother, Louis, fur
nished the cigar a big black Key West
and the actress lit it. She took two puffs
and her face grew white. She took third
with determination, and then dropped the
cigar and fled to her dressing room. There
was no more rchearsing that day, and the
performance of the star in the evening was
sot as good as usual.
Carmen has decided to smoke q ciga-

\ New Device in Doylles.

Among the new devices of the shop win
dow draper is an arrangement of doylies
which is notably ingenious. The doylies re
tightly rillcd with the fringe left outside
and elaborate arabesque and vine designs
are wrought with the dainty table linen.
Probably wires bent into the desired shapes
are used as foundat ton for the doylies. but
nothing of the sort is visible. and the effect
is of snowy, delicateiy fringing vines leaves
and blossoms. Fine embroidered handker-
chiefs have been used in the same way. but
less effectively.

A Robe de Chambre.

These boomers are lined throughout with
Canton flannel to give the necessary

more effectually than a skirt would. The
