for crticising such playing; he sweeps

After the ever interesting question OF
the weather has been settled. and the
grounding suitably interviewed, comes
ths, ever agitating one OF the matinee
girl and the clothes she viii wear. The
matinee girl changes every season, and
YOU do not know what kind OF year
IL will be until you have settled her in
your mind for the winter
The matinee girl means every woman
who goes to the theatre. and every thea
tre-going man Is interested in her, be-
cause she is part or him. She Is either
In front OF him or by the side OF him,
and in either case he hasher at such
short range that her personality Is his
also.
II IS settled beyond dispute that the
theatre woman will wear small hat.
Last year she wore her Gainesborough
and her Marlborough and took II of and
held Il snugly in her lap. But this was
lnconvenlent; II interfered with her fan
and her vinaigrette. and II interfered
awftilly with the action OF her hands,
making her awkward and uncomfortable.
This year she has arranged things DIFF
fsrently.
The new matinee girl will wear SMALL
hat. though a very gaudy one. Perhaps
elaborate would be a better word. IL
will be made OF velvet and trimmed with
Jet. and there will be at least three

colors In it, At the top OF the hat there
will be a standing spray OF feathers or
let. and at each side there will be feath-
ers that fall forward over the hair, front
and back In the middle will set an Al
Satan bow TO match the dress.
This sounds very elaborate, but the
matinee girl harmonizes the whole In
color and material. until she has a very
neat and becoming little hat.
Her hair will be worn in Ia MARI
borough. A Marlborough couture Is one
that is pulled all around the face. This
is done by combing The hair over a wire
roll that holds 1t out from the head and
makes a SOFT. pretty aureoic In tho
back the hair can be cooled low or
braided and doubled under IN very girl
ish style
One OF the main objections 20 tho for
mer matiree girl was her shoulder puffs.
These stood out too far and were often
sively tall. They quite met the plumes
upon the hat and formed solid wall
OF weathers and lace, OF silk and jet,
through which no man could see. ,
This Is obvated this year By the neat
little shoulder cape. that, while narins
upon the shoulders, IS not high. IL n
made OF velvet or silk or any other ma
terial, but IL IS no deeper than the shoul-
ders and no nhigher than the upper
shoulder seams.
