1t is said that the most successful plays
produced in England and America these
last few years were written by women.
Mrs. Craigie, a Bostonian, who writes I'M
der the nom de plume of John Oliver
Hobbies, has been a successful novelist for
years. Her comedy, "Tho ambassador"
was played at the ST. James theater, Lone
don, and met with the greatest success.
Mrs. Madeleine Lucette Ryley is regarded
as among notable dramatic writers. She
is an English woman by birth, but has
announced that hereafter New York Will
be her hone. "An American Citizen,
produced By Nat G. Goodwin, brought her
fame. The wife of the manager Of the
Manhattan theater, Lottie Blair Parker,
was not famous until Way Down East
proved such a hit. Other plays which she
has written will readily find a market
since the appearance of that play. Mrs.
Frances Hodgson Burnett dramatized
sLittle Lord Fauntleroy" and made q for
tune from the play. Next to Mrs. Bur-
nett, Mrs. Musgraye, another English wo-
man, who wrote "Our Flat" has doubt

and a narrow ruching of the black chit

How fair a penitent this makes n

An ashes of roses gray taffeta dress
had the skirt gathered full all around
and scarcely gored at all. The waist
was tight fitting n overlaid with
white silk all over lace, hand run with
heavy cord. The sleeves were long M
wrinkled from top to bottom, and they
and a very full draped bertha were
made of ashen gray crepe lisse. There
were little epaulet caps of lace and

dress.

hnlped along until they reached New
York, but there they have been strand
ed for some months.
Cuthbert found a friend in the Rev.
Mr.. Campbell, a Methodist minister
whose church he attended in San Fran
cisco. He told the minister that he had
a call to borrow. $40. He got it and has
had several similar calls with like re-
suits.
Not long ago, while Henry Fuller, a
wealthy orange grower of Radlands,
Cal, was visiting Mr.. Campbell, Cuth-
bert had a call to borrow 5000 from
Mr.. Fuller with which to return to Cal
ifornia. Mr.. Fuller hadn't a such a
call, however,, and didn't advance the
money. He replied instead that the BIZ
BILE said that man should earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow.
Then the affairs of the Cuthberts
went from bad to worse until the Rev.
Mr.. Campbell telegraphed Mr.. Cuth-
bert's brother in California, who i'm
mediately sent $130 to bring the couple
home, where DR.. Cuthbert, the mission
ary's father. is quite willing to provide
for him and his wife.
Then the unexpected happened, and

lutely to touch the money so provided,

SOME OPERA


r The choicest OF the 4lst is the printed
silk muslin. Nothing can give an idea
of its peculiar qualities unless n could
fancy that there was a wall of mist Up
on which had been projected a faint
shadow of flowers whose tints seem to
melt into the dimness beyond. They
are almost as intangible as he stuff
that dreams are made of.
Printed muslins with satin stripes are
lovely, but somehow I like the others
better. In the first case the delicate
flowers on the misty ground are all
perfect, each after its kind, while with
the satin striped the stripes are woven
right over the flowers, or at least that
is the effect obtained. Still man. there
be who would prefer that.
Swiss muslins are embroidered in fan
cy designs in light washable tints and
also in white. They come in A inch
width, and the intention is to use the
width for the length. Few persons re-
quire a skirt longer han AZ inches.
There is always a space left clear so
that the skirt can be made shorter for
a smaller person. This embroidered
swiss costs from 81 to 81 per yard; but,
considering the amount of work put up
on 1t, 1t is a wonder it. can be sold SO
low. The silk muslin sells for from SO
cents to 81, according to width and de-
gree of ~1neness, and the satin stripe is
IS cents to slips per ys-rd. Neither OF
these will wash well, hut they do not
soil so easily as cotton.
The Alsatian organizes come under
the names of lisse, cs.rreau, Picking,
rave, plumetis and Penang. The first
FIVE are about so cents per yard and the
Penang 25 cents. The lisse is fine and
sheer Ike crepe lisse. The carreau is
plaided by lines of another color woven
across and lengthwise of the goods.
Raye is striped, and Picking has dainty
figures. The plumetis is the fine mix
ture of coiors in tiny sections,
a. confused mass out of which n can
really recall no one color, yet each piece
of goods has a predominating color
which overshadows all the rest, but 1t

He promptly fell in love with Vermont

the latter and bought an estate near
Brattleboro, where he built his bunga-

the construction of his new house to
the charge of Brother Beatty. On his
return he found that Beatty had not
done the business according to instruc-
tons, and the two quarreled.
Beatty is a young man of sport loving
tendencies. He is one of six heirs to
his grandfather's estate, but he will not
get the full amount until the death OF
his mother, who is still alive. AT pres

does not conduct with great financial
profit, although he owns several good

not generally pay in Vermont.

I had q dark red rosebud in my hand
just now and was regarding 1t admir-
ingly, though 1t had begun to look a lit
tie faded. Suddenly 1t burst with a pop
like a small sized soda water bottle as
/ held it to my lips. n there was a
shower of petals right upon this paper
where I am now writing.
It surprised me for a moment, and
then I remembered vague stories | had
heard about clever florists who have a
way of injecting a drop Of some sort OF
glue into the soul of a rosebud to keep it
from expanding into an open rose,
knowing that a bud is more precious.
After hunting in vain for the presence
of glue / turned to admire the scat
tered petals. How rich n velvety is
their crimson! One side the leaf is
like d~elicately veined silk, while the
other is like fairy velvet. One of the
petals was ~crunpled, and as the light
struck upon this portion there was a
shade of a greenish bronze over the
velvet such as no mortal hand could
produce, and I began to wonder why 1t
is that the clever people who make so
many beautiful things never tried to
reproduce the velvet leaf of a jacque-
minot rose with its wondrous luster OF
bronze. Perhaps one did and failed, but
in all the beautiful and magnificent
fabrics I have seen / never found any
thing like it. 1t would be fitting for a
