Tea gowns are seldom heard of now, but
the thing, if not the name, remains, as
being too comfortable and necessary to be
lightly abandoned. Velvet is employed
for these loose gowns as for everything
else and is adorned with lace and silk.
A sketch is given of an evening cape in
lizard green velvet, lined with cherry
satin. 1t has sort of double pelerine,
composed of two rippled collars of taffeta,
matching the velvet in color. These are
bordered with a ruching of black tulle.
The cape is worn over a gown of ivory
satin, the bodice of which is covered by a
drapery of chains of crystal and jet beads

The White Crook.

Ed +. Rush's spectacular EXtrava-
ganza 1.-the White Crook is an
nounced for Saturday night at Burwell
Hall. The performance is divided
into two acts. The first is Tropical
Island and the second a Royal Palace,
in which is interviewed many laughabe
situations, tuneful singing, bright,
snappy dialogue and pleasing special
ties, among which is Mona Lynne,
com edienne and singer; Baker Il Lynn,
comedy duo; The Ballet of all Ma
tions; The Bowery Girls and Boys;
the charming Sisters Arnold; Helene
Russell. Musical artistic; the Four
Chevaliers; S. Edgar Johnston, charac-
ter vocalist; and the famous Ell Cap
tame March.
The piece is said to be handsomely
staged, the costumes being beautiful
throughout and of bewildering varl-
ETY., while the scenic features are gor-
geous. The music is light and tune
full and is studded with melodies that
possess the element of popularity
while the choruses are well trained.

was to be paid in advance. A good
many of the Weldon people saw the
tempting bait and bit at it. The re-
suit was the men gathered in about
fifty orders and left for parts unknown.
We learn that they are frauds of first

THE FIFE MEETINGS,
Tidal Wave of Religion in Henderso

The Fife meetings are still in prog
ress. Interest has increased from day
to day. The Hall is crowded at each
service. morning and night.
MIR. Fife has preached some power
ful sermons, beautiful in their simplici
ty and convincing in argument. He
breaches the Word of God as it is laid
down in the Book, his talks bein Q
characterized by their directness, clear
cut nature aud intense earnestness.
The result has been for good. Persons
have been moved and stirred as never
before. Christians have been quick
ened and strengthened and sinners con-
verted from the error OF their ways.
Hundreds have testified by word and
act to the saving grace Of God and de-
clared purpose to live more circum-
specify in the future.
Many have asked au interest in the
prayers of Gods people and the Spirit
is moving upon them. Gracious as
has been the outpouring of the Divine
Power still greater things are looked
for ere the meetings close.
Mr.. Fife preached to the olored peo-
pie especially Sunday afternoon. He
had great crowd to hear him. His
sermon was prefaced by a plain, prac-
teal talk in which he gave them some
good advice. He pleaded for 4 higher
standard Of morality, sobriety, honesty
and Christian character among the col
ored people and they heard him gladly.
They appreciated his serman and we
believe it will do good. The singing
was an interesting feature Of the ser
vice. 1t was simply great. In the
chapel of the Colored College Mr..
Leavett, a deeply consecrated young
man, who has been helping Mr.. Fife
in his meetings at various places, has
preached every night during the week
to the colored people. He has had
large crowds to hear him and the work
has borne fruit. So far both meetings
have been very successful and the end
is not yet.
