A CONTENTED WOMAN.

In spite of the disagreeable weather
and the lateness of the season, one Of
the most fashionable audiences of the
winter assembled at the Opera House
last night to witness the first produc-
ton in this city of "A Contented Wo-
man" There were a number of the
atre parties. The audience manifested
great interest in Caroline Miskel Hoyt,
who is the stellar attraction, and the
applause was frequent and hearty. "A
Contented Woman" is one Of the most
successful of Mr.. Hoyts plays, and one
of the most preteatious from literary
and constructive point of view. 1t Is
an exceedingly clever satire on the
modern woman, who changes places
with her better half Mrs. Hoyt is the
wife of the author. and besides being
one of the fairest of Kentucky's daugh-
ters. is one of the most talented COM
ediennes on the American stage. Her
costumes were especially interesting 10
the ladies in the audience, and some OF
them are charming creations. The
plav was presented by a competent
cast as are all of Hoyt's productions
and the audience was more than
pleased.
