MUSIC AND DRAMA.
The Rising Generation.

Mr.. William Barry is ole of the most
thoroughly enjoyable deli neators of Irish
character that we have ever seen OH the
stage, and his play of "The Rising Cen
eration," is admirably calculated to.show
him at his best. If he is natural as
Marsin McShane, the aqueduct employe
with contract on his hands, in the first
act, he is especial ly so as the aqueduct
contractor and state senator in the other
two acts of the play. Mr.. Barry's brogue
is delicious and his wit is pungent and
mirth provoking.
The part of Dionysius o Hare, tutor,
and afterwards principal of O'Hare col
Iege-the part made popular by the late
Mr.. Fay-was very well assumed by Mr..
James II. Manning. The other characters
were well stakeu, and the children s
parts in the play were excellently taken.
Miss Lydia Barry is not wit the com
pany, as she is very i'll at home, but her
part, that of Elsie Connolly, is assumed
by Miss Nozzle King very creditably.
The Barry quartette gave much satis-
faction by their pleasing rendering of
old familiar negro melodies in the first
act, and at other times through the eve-
ming. Mr.. Manning sang with great
effect "My Girl is Plain Girl" and
''Rosy Posey,' Mr.. Cavanaugh. "Pity
Me Because Pm Blind" and Mr.. Barry
himself brought down the house with
"The Boys That Game Over from Ire
land " Miss King sang several songs
very prettily.
The last performance will be given to-
night. A large audience was in attend
anoe last evening.
At the French Ball.
Among the important attractions se.
cured for the present season by Manager
Tukesbury is Fanny Rice in her latest
success, AT the French Ball." This i.
the greatest laughing success, this clever
little artist has ever had. Fanny Rice,
who is host in herself, is supported by
an exceedingly strong company. Promi,
nent among the principal members are

Folly in Hats

1t has been considered for at least
two seasons past that in connection
with millinery ''the force of folly could
no further 60" but this is apparently
an error. The way in which many
long ostrich feathers are now set on
hats and some of the ultra bonnets re-
minds one of the battered looking
plumes which adorned the headgear of
the half-witted Barnaby Rudge, as seen
in the illustrated editions of Dickens
novel. II is quite imp possible to do JUS
tice to some of the models that are put
forth by even the most noted milliners
and called stylish.

falls to zero the W, li-to-do folks fly
from the capital to warm themselves Ia
the sunny climss of the Riviera. From
st. Raphael to Msntone they go and TO
Nice principally, where the Promenade
des Anglais in front of the sea replaces
the Avenue des Accacias in the Bo.s de
Boulogne and becomes the great fash
ionabie walk and drive. Nice owes its
prosperity and ornamentation mainly
to the American and E1giish visitors
of re .ent years. To the latter nation,
in fact, is due the promenade named
after the sons of Albion, for they first
perceived the capabilities OF this 9d-
mirable site, which is now lined with
palmrtress, grand hotels. stately houses
and luxuriously fitted clubs-al over
looking the blusst of all the seas. ln-
deed, one must have lost his money at
Monte Carlo to proclaim that Nice
with it's suburbs and surroundings is
zother than what it has always been
since the time of the Romans-the
q ueen of the Riviera.

THE NEWEST BOWS

Bows are blossoming vigorously this
season over gowns, hats, wraps. in fact
over every article pertaining to fem
inine wear and use.
The novelty of the present winter is
called the Marlborough, named, of
course, after the English duke, who
captured one of our American beauties.
This char ming scheme is simply re-
viyal of the old-fashion ed bow
favored by our grandmothers long
years ago. 1t has numerous and ample
loops, the ribbon, of superfine quality,
is crisply tied with several short
straight ends.
There is another choice bow gener-
ously used in trim ming frocks. 1t
consists of five loops-all crashed to-
gether and turned the same way. The
original departure peeps out from the
inside of the sleeve and rests on the
bosom, and to make it more of a
coquettish novelty it only appears on
one side of the body, and that is the
left. Merely smart bit of dress fur
nishing, but yet an exceedingly pretty
idea.

classes. Unlike its wealthy neighbor
in the tiny principality of Monaco, it
cannos boast of my architectural
beau v; it does no possess. moreover,
auy of the ultra-moiern accommo la
tions of the more imposing building Of
the Blancs, yet one may enjoy himself
at the Nice Casino. In years to come
it will doubtless fall to the level of
such Partisan baunt5 as are the Folies
Bergeres or the Moulin Rouge. Its
masked balls are. however, far superior
to anything of thu kind held in Paris,
not excepting those of the Paris
Opera House. On the chairs in
the winter garden one runs across
the most diversified lot of individuals
imaginable. Here are some men in
evening garb chatting wildly to gayly
dressed women; here are others,
gloomy-iookiug individuals, who wore
their dress clothes in the same seat the
night previous, but who, having lost
their cash in the first part OF the after
noon, have been back to Monte Carlo
with the amount that their jewelry
and clothing fetched in pawn in Nice,
and have returned once more to tho
queen city with all their possessions
on their back. When one goes from
Nice to Monte Carlo and loses his
money and returns to Nice for more,
it is called "going to change ones col
lar" The railroad between the two
places axes lot of money in the
course of season from those who are
constantly changing their collars. In
the casino the individuals who have
taken possession of chair for the
evening, and whose sorry looks are
quite out OF keeping with the gsiety of
the resort, never thinking of how they
will eat or sleep. They have but one
idea in their mind-from where will
they get the necessary funds
to continue the terrible fight
