Women Who Drrss in Paris.

The latest fad among women in London
and Paris is dressing in pairs, that Is, two
women when going out together dress
alike in every particular An American,
who has just returned from a trip abroad,
said in speaking Of the craze:
Il was much astonished on my first
drive I'm the park to notice so many wom-
en- gowned exactly alike. had never
heard Of the fad. so OF course quite natu-
rally supposed the first pair 10 be sisters.
possibly twins. Then seeing the same
sight so often I began 10 notice that
the women often appeared TO be widely
separated In point of age. was puzzled
and finally astonished when an acquain-
lance Of former years drove by with her
double in point OF dress. She was woman
who had never had sister; yet there she
sat with a woman. apparently about the
same age and almost the same coloring.
dressed exactly like her.
you may be sure that before I slert
that night learned the reason for the
apparent frequency of twins In London.
But when / learned II was a fad my
surprise was not at all diminished. IL
seemed so contrary to the nature OF wom-
an to want another woman. possible
rival. to have identically the same things.
know that the women Of my acquain-
lance make an effort to have things quite
different. and never forgive a modiste
when she makes the mistake OF turning
out other gowns even resembling their
own.
ION my next drive in the park l made
II my business to keep count and no
ticed no fewer than thirty-six OF these
pairs. That evening. when talking with
and old friend. who has been abroad for
quite a while. l asked for an explana-
tion OF the fad.
" The only way can account for It,
said she. Is that it takes two English
women to have an idea and then they
both have TO dress on It,
I'm Paris / noticed the same thing
though not nearly so frequently. l saw,
I presume. about fifteen or twenty such
couples during a two months stay. But,
they were French women. suppose the
fad has been taken up over there. and
perhaps later in the season New YORK
will feel the effects and on our own streets
women will make themselves conspicuous
by dressing as twins."-New York sun.

THE LAST sTROa n.
Scored Great success at the Academy
Last Night.


THE Last Stroke" is great patriotic
play designed to thrill the audience, and
the purpose for which it was designed
was faithfully carried out by a capable
company before an audience OF good pro-
portions at the Academy last night.
The play starts In with slight tremor
and some love. and the little sparks KIM
die and grow until, long before the last
scene. the thrills follow each other In
such SUGGESTIONS that they probably count
up 60 sixty thrills a minute.
And the audience likes II. SO well Old
they like the thrills that a great shout
OF applause went up as the curtain went
down on the last act. not because they
were glad the show was over. but because
the play pleased them so well that they
couldn't hold IN.
The plot is an easy one, and few improb-
abilities are introduced. The Spanish spy
makes himself hated by the audience and
the humor and manly qualities introduced
by the American volunteers and the Con-
sul-General, stir up the patriotic nature
so that the audience bubbles over.
The entire cast was well balanced and
no one performer deserves praise above
another.
General Fitzhugh Lee and daughter
were interested auditors.
