The Worcester spy. [volume] (Worcester, Mass.) 1898-1904, 1899-10-14
OUT AND ABOUT.

Lillian Russell is beginning to burn
more money. Here she is having her pa
latial apartments re-decorated with a
magnificence that the sovereign of
Sheba could never rival. The drawing
room is to be copied from that Of the
first empire, and it is Of the costliest
textures, while the draperies are thread
ed with solid bullion and tinted by IA
nous artists. The furniture is most Of
1T imported, and all single patterns of
which there is to be no duplicate. But
the most interesting thing of all is Lii
han's sleeping room. This is a fairy
dream. 1t is of a delicate blue and gilt
with filmy laces Of dimity and India
muslins, all beautifully clean, light and
pretty as a school girls boudoir, and
every whim is to be carried out in the
matter of paintings, cunning statuettes
and bows and saucy ribbons. Ever since
Lillian received that present of a sill
yer bicycle with gold trimmings, there
has been no holding her in check.

1.-THE Enchanted Forest is in one act,
but three scenes. 1t tells the story of
little boy who, while reading fairy
stories by the fireside, drops asleep and
is transformed into fairy through the
enchantments of the class, and by them
transported into fairyland.
In the second scene, he is discovered
lying on a messy bank in the woods.
He awakes to find the fairies dancing
around him and in the forest in every
conceivable fantastic form, and upon
expressing wonder at it all, is warned
by one Of them that the wood is no
place for mortals, and that he must flee.
He pleads with Phancie, for it is She
to let him remain, and Phancie prom
ses to ask the king and queen of the
fairies who are having a grand fete
to let him stay. When the festal pro-
cession enters, it is headed by a corps
of trumpeterS, drummers, soldiers, bells
archers and fancy dancers who drag
a carriage containing the royalties
Then the revelries begin. The last
scene is a tableau, in which the lad
is changed back again into his old ma
ture and place beside the Preside.
