sometimes she isn't. Occasionally sHe
goes in for being very elaborate IN Her

tlewoman, suggests a lady of the lake;
again, she'll aim at picturesqueness ana
achieve dowdiness, but sometimes she
is so overlooking with pride that one Won

1t Is very funny thing, but there are
days In New York when you see nothing
but pretty women, and there are Gays
when you could, with certainty, bet your
luck penny without fear of losing 1t that
you wouldn't meet single good looking
woman on the street. New York has queer
regulations made by nobody knows Who'
but obeyed by the world of women one
Is, that a woman who counts herself OF
any Importance is never seen on Broad
way except as she crosses it to go 10
some other street, except on Saturday al
ternoon. Then she possesses ii.
You see her starting for the matinee,
providing herself with sweets and with
yiolets, picking up her ohum, and later
on, when the matinee is over, you see
her out for walk You see her II she
has not been to the matinee You Sc
her bowling to this man and TO that man
while all the gay world is surging up and
down and you are being punched to look
at this one and to stare at that one OF the
many celebrities
First, you meet big blond, laughing May
Irwin. She is dressed In handsome, dark
gown and wearing huge chinchilla collar
and a hat covered with plumes. She is as
magnetic on the street as on the stage,
and you feel as If you must stare at her
as long as she is in sight. Then, looking
like a lady in a picture book or one or
Boucher's nymphs in a Worth frock,
comes Lillian Russell, in town for the day
and drawn by force of habit to the matinee
Saturday afternoon. Her beautiful blond
hair shows against her rich toque of pur-
pie velvet, and her gown, a simple one of
cloth, fits her as if the king of tailors
had made it, while her feet and hands are
perfectly shod and gloved
Behind her and while you are trying to
get over the intoxicaton Of her good looks
comes fascinating Sadie Martinez (by the
bye, how old is Sadie Martinez? Has she
found the fountain of eternal youthD
wrapped in some magnificent sables and
your eyes go from her to that liylike
looking woman, Mrs Burke Roche who
rolls by in her fathers carriage as some
body near you remarks that she is one of
the American girls who presented her Eng
iish husband with twin sons.
Bowling to this fashionable woman and
10 that one is John Drew-John Drew,
who, without a single feature, is counted
the most distingue looking man I'm New
York. Dressed perfectly, he wears his
clothes as If they were a part of him, and
as If to them he never gave a thought.
A contrast in appearance is the young
statesman. Perry Belmont-rather small,
with keen dark eyes, a slight mustache
and dark hair. He looks as if he ordered
his tailor to make his clothes and after
that gave no thought to them.
A slender, quiet looking girl in a dark
brown dress, brown jacket and a brown
cloth hat one at whom you scarcely look
and who walks by quickly as if she wish
ed to pass unobserved, is pretty little
Maude Adams, who to-day by her good
acting and wonderful magnetism is pack
ing a theater With her and talking in
the most earnest way is the creator of
Gallagher, that most fascinating of
young pickles, Richard Harding Davis.
Smooth faced, perfectly dressed. he has
TO perfection that air of indifferences
which, among a certain set of young men,
is counted especially good form.
A tall, dark, slender woman, whose
gown is marvel of good taste and perfect
nit, is Elsie de Wolfe, at once the woman
of society and the actress. the wittiest
talker off the stage and the best dressed
woman on it, Just now, In the small part
she plays in "A Marriage of convenience"
she Is doing bit of fine work-hne be-
cause she makes the character of a wait
ing maid not only perfectly correct. but

the professional would say. Following
her, and bringing out her good points by
contrast is loudly dressed woman, a well
known dancer, who wears across the front
of her jacket her stage name wrought in
brillants.
Here is Hermann Oelrichs, big. blond.

actor, picturesque, Irving-like and utter

given him. Talking as if he We're inter-

eagerly applaud his efforts.
