THE MARKET FOR FARCES GOES DOWN.
1t is not altogether unpleasant to note that
farces have been less abundant than usual and
that the so-called "farce-comedy' has almost
disappeared Farces, like tany may be very
good things in their place. but there time
when there seemed to be appalling prospect
that the stage was to be entirely given over to
them The most notable Of the year have
been My Friend from India and 1.-The Man
from Mexico" both by a writer. Mr. Du
Souchet; The Girl from Paris "Courted into
Court and Never Again." Another grain of
| assurance that the prevailing tone of theatrical
taste is growing more healthy is the failure of
two French plays. "Spiritisme' and "LAresi-
enne," toward the close of the season.
There has been. perhaps. nothing in all this of

auctions of Shakespearian plays of the years of

1t has been comfortable. wholesome theatrical

WHAT THE STOCK COMPANIES HAVE DONE
The season Of stock companies has been an
Interesting one. Mr.. Days company has given
eight plays. five Of which to his
theatre. The most notable. doubtless. was his
revival OF The Tempest" while the rule of
old comedy production was kept by the presen-
taton OF The Wonder" and Much Ado About
Nothing" furnished an additional Shakespearian
production The company also played LAS You
Like It, The School for Scandal" London AS
surance, The Magistrate" and Meg Mer-
rifles" Besides these. two musical plays were
given. The Geisha" at the beginning of the
season and The Circus Girl which is still
running. at the crd
The Em.ire Theatre has been peculiarly for
tunate. 1t was opened by John Drew. who
played Rosemary and this was SO successful
that it was kept the stage long after the
time originally set for the appearance of the
stock company. When the stock company did
at last get chance to act in it's own theatre
Under the Red Robe" was produced 1t was a
great success and has :un up to the present
time
The Lyceum opened early. as usual. with f.
H. Sothern. in AN Enemy to the King" which
was popular enough to fill out the whole of his
engagement. The stock company has presented
a considerable variety Of plays. the list includ-
ing THE Courtship Of I.eonie" The Late Mr.
Casteo," The First Gentleman Of Europe"
The Wife of Willoughby,' THE White Flower
and When Mans Married" the last three
being one-act plays.
A FEW OF THE STARS
Several of the most prominent American star
actors have had engagements in pleasant con-
trast to those of the most Of the foreigners Be
sides those already mentioned. william II. Crane
played prosperously for several weeks at the
Fifth Avenue Theatre. Miss Julia Marlowe was
received at Wallack's with more fervor than
she had ever before met in New-York Mrs
Minnie Madden Fiske drew many large audi
ences to the Fifth Avenue with Tess of the
DUrberves." and William Gillette presented
his own play, Secret Service" for more than
half the season at the Garrick. Mr.. Gillette and
his play now winning golden opinions in
London The Holland brothers. who started
out so bravely on their career stars with "A
Social Highwayman,' came to grief in "A Super
nuous Husband" and "Dr. Claudus."
1t is commonly said that there are no Shake
spearian actors left. yet nine Of Shakespeare
plays have been seen in New-York this season

and 'The Tempest" were given Days as

OF them may have been left over from the winter
one 1t Is now possible to take a backward
glance at the time that is past and to it clear
ly and in some sort OF perspective.
AS soon this view is attempted a few gen.
civilizations in regard to the character of the
vanished season at once obvious For in
stance. the general tone of theatrical affairs
through the last year has been decidedly health
Ter than it was through the year that preceded
it. AS far as NewYork has been concerned the
theatres have prospered more though from
strictly business point of view. there is still a
great deal to be wished. But. what is more inn
portant. the plays have been better. on the
whole. presenting noticeabiy higher average
artistically and morally. The problem play
has disappeared as it was easy to predict that
1t would. Not single problem play of cOnse
Quence has been presented in New-York this
On the other hand. the interest in the
mantle drama. which was seen to be revvng
more than a year ago. has continued and grown.
Another noticeable fact is that American act
ors and American plays have occupied a larger
part OF the field than usual. The visitors from
abroad have been few. and there is no ground
for complaint. such as has sometimes been made
before. that the money paid by Americans for
their amusement had all been carried to Europe.
Only few foreigners have come. as has been
said. and the most OF those who came did not
carry back money enough to cause Americans
many tears. Numerous English and French
plays have been given of course. but for the
most part by American actors. while several of
the most successful plays of the season have
been of home production. such Secret Ser
vice. "A Fool of Fortune My Friend from
India and The Mysterious Mr.. Bugle" the
work OF English woman who has become &C
climated.
THE VISITORS FROM ABROAD
The achievements OF the foreign actors may as
we'll be summarized now. while the subject is at
hand company from England came and
played Wilson Barretts The Sign of the Cross"
which spread gloom for many blocks around the
Knickerbocker Theatre and failed. Mr.. and Mrs
Arthur Bourchier came in a modest way and
played THE Chill Widow and The Queens
Proctor the latter being adaptation of
~Divorcons." They gave pleasing performances
and were moderately successful
Beerbohm Tree came and played ''rhe Seats

No one has vet been able To- iusol. ,dp
bubble that will not burst. but hv care we
can make one that lasts for some time. Its
length OF life will depend largely upon the
mixture used in blowing it, and the care we
take in protecting it from drafts. Perhaps
some of you do not know how TO make a
good sUap-Duhh!e mixture, so will give you
directions tor preparing one.
Put INTO pint bottle Two ounces of best
white CASTLE soap cut into thin shavings,
and fill the bottle with cold water which
has been first boiled ard then left TOO cool
Shake well together. and allow the bottle to
stand until the upper part of the solution is
clear. Decant now of this clear solution
two parts, and add one part of glycerine and
you will have a soap-bIbble mixture very
much like one suggested by Prof. J. +. Cook
of Harvard College.
Some of YOU may wonder why bubbles
cannot be blown from water alone. Ii Is be-
cause the particles do not possess sufficient
attraction for ole to form a film. Mysteri.
onsly, the soap increases this attraction,
even If the quantity be as small as one
hundredth part of the solution. We add
the glycerinc to make the film more gor-
geous by bringing about greater plaY of
colors. Bear i'll mind that a carefully pre-
pared mixture will save you much disap-
polntment.
The solution now being at hand, we use
the ordinary clay tobacco-pipe in blowing.
Always use new one for one i'll which
tobacco has been smoked is poisoned With
little practice, and a moderate amount of
patience, bubbles measuring s or 10 inches
in diameter may be produced, and even
larger ones If the lungs be Tcfilled The
pipe, of course. should be held steadily, and
the breath forced into the bubble evenly.
In order to watch bubble carefully, We
may wish to support il in some way. A
common table goblet will make a good
stand if its edge is first dipped into melted
paratiin. or well soapcd, which prevents it
from cutting into the lim.-St. Nicholas.

AUTUMN STYLES.

Black velvet ribbon Is growing in favor az
garniture, row upon row Of it being used in
narrow widths upon skirts and waists with
out the least suggestion Of heaviness.
A ruche-like arrangement of flowers is Q
new feature in millinery. In large hat Of
fancy geranium straw, silk peoples and buds
are wreathed about the crown over drapery
Of geranium-red velvet and ribbon. The
ribbon and velvet arc formed in standing
loops at the back where peoples arc punched
against the upturned brim. A black straw
facing relieves the warmth and intensity Of
the red.
A tablier effect could he produced on Q
skirt with velvet ribbon, or it could he applied
simply in oncircng rows from the lower
edge to the knee or hip, or in rounding
outline, with corresponding effect in tho
waist.
Nusturtiums, realistic copies of these
vivid flowers, are used in profusion on hat
Of nayy-blun rough straw. The flowers are
spread in front together with their pretty
foliage, and at each side of them is a chou Of
navy-blue MORE taifeta green chou being
combined with the blue one at the left side
and wired to stand high. AT the back ia
arranged broad bow of the ribbon which
sustains more flowers.

Charity has not been forgotten among
the girls during the summer. They arc
always racking their brains for new
idsss to make things which they can
soil for charitable objects, and now
ihey have got hold OF grand one, The
latest lad among tho men. and girls,
TOO is to wear stock instead Of a col
lar or ribbon. 1t costs about IL cspts
to make stock, and the girls have been
making them hy the dozen, and sailing
them for 30 cents apiecs to one another
and great many to the men. The
stock itself IL made of white pique or
duck. anu a Madras or gingham tie ia
attached, which forms the small bow in

and many have mRdp as much as from
