Game Of Chees.

In 1895 Mohammed Ralba usurped
the crown of Granada in spite Of the
superior claims Of his elder brother
Jussef. He was very unsuccessful in
his conduct of the war against the
Christians and was at length assassi
mated by poison absorbed through his
skin from a shirt. He entertained q
desperate dislike to the brother whom
he had injured, and when he knew that
his own fate was sealed he sent an or.
der to the governor Of the prison In
which Jussef was confined that he
should be executed Immediately. When
the order arrived Jussef was playing
chess with the chaplain Of the prison.
With great difficulty Jussef obtained Q
respite from the governor permitting
him to finish the game. Before 1t wai
ended, however. news came that the
usurper had died Of the poison. This
cancelled the order Of execution and
Jussef, instead Of going to the sca6old
mounted the throne.

ed here. The knows his bust
ness. he thinks. as well as any mere
Paris artist. and he puts In scarlet IL
he hasn't magenta. This Is the prin-
ciple on which many foreign plates
and models are followed. In a small
Ter degree the same course is followed
with the scenery. The Paris original
is always adapted more or less TO the
ideas Of the local representative who
carries them out.
''One thing in which the American
producers Of plays have never APP
preached their foreign colleagues Is
the use Of lights. An actress who was
recently accused of wearing a dinner
dress in the early afternoon explain
ed IL on the ground that what was
supposed TO be twilight was so made
uuately indicated that the spectators
thought they were gazing at a scene
which was taking place at high noon.
Either the stage manager forgot to
turn of the gas. or he did not turn
IL on enough. Turning of the light
suddenly is the customary way of IN
dicating the approach of twilight. i
often go to the theater at which hun
dreds of dollars are spent pm the per-
formances and see one light turned cut
after another to make the impression
OF approaching darkness. The slow.
gradual darkening n a Is 50 well man
aged abroad Is rarely seen here. That
IL can be don II shown by the effects
seen when foreign actors use the or
binary mechanical appliances found IN
most of vi theaters. They produce
very different effects by their manage
ment Of Just these same means No
body has devoted so much attention
to this question of lights az Sir Henry
Irving. The elaborate schemes that
he has adopted 10 produce certain eff
fects are well known. 1 have often

stage light. They make no allowance
for that difference, but color the can
vas just as IL its effect were to lie
a in the daylight. But in this
country allowance is made for the
light. and the colors are laid on more
iamboyantly. with the idea that trey
will be subjected to the strong stage
lights. and for that reason need intens-
ifcation In every detail. The result of
this difference Is that the English
scenery when IL Is on the stage has a
mellow quality. a depth Of softness
that viii not be found where the ant
list has increased the allowance of color
and exaggerated the qualities of the
picture in order that the strong light
to which IL is submitted may not de-
prive IL OF the effects he wants. Seen
cry painted I'm England naturally looks
rather dingy when compared In the
daylight with the kind painted here:
but when each has been set up In its
place the advantage is not so much
on the side OF the local product.
The use OF materials here and in
Europe differs in quite the way that
the manager quoted in that article ex-
planned. Rich stuffs are growing COM
moner every day In London and New
York. where they were always more
used than they are in Paris. With
the Frenchmen II is chiefly a question
of design and color. There the fact Is
very properly appreciated hat color Ia
really the important question. So long
as the effects i'm hat respect are well
done. the texture Is not important. A
drapery hat hangs well and costs
only 50 a yard VIII he distinguished
from one costing 10 times that amoun
only by a nan who sells the goods or
somebody else equally expert. The pub
lie and the artist will be interested
only in the color and the design. The
first of these IL really the more impor-
tant. That same principle is followed
In London with greater extravaganza
as regards the price of the goods. Man.
ayers will pay much more than the
Frenchman for the textures. The same
thing is true of this country, but the
same effects are not secured and the
fault comes in nine cases out of 10
from carelessness i'm regard to the nice
ties of color.
Il will explain just how hat hap
pens. An American buys what is pro-
fessionally known as the production
of a foreign success. That means the
plates of the scenery. the costumes and

In shape, needless to say, this hat was
a Trelawney. for with the solitary ex-
ception of the toque, which may be big
or little, as the fancy of Its wearer dc
tates, but few other shapes find favor
just now.
There are rumors that the Duchess of
Devonshire hat will shortly be to the
fore. but as this. despite it's own I'M
doubted beauty. is a most trying style,
except to a certain style of face, / doubt
IL Ii will become really popular. 1t calls
for too many curves m dimples. and is
fatal to a thin or elongated face. The

I have been betrayed into writing at
such length of these fascinating models
that i can say but little OF evening
dress. Colors are all light. and white
is especially favored. having touches Of
color introduced On the decolletage or
on the waist. Rosettes in variegated
tones of one color producing an illusion
OF shaded roses, are the note of warmth
to the white gown. Chenille. and imita-
ton glittering gems figure conspicuous
ly in incrustations. but more as a deli
cate outline to the design of embroid-

A dainty ball own in white moussel-
inc de sole had a long overskirt of the
same soft material, having vertical en-
tredeux of white Chantilly lace outlined
with gold thread: the overskirt was
shaped in pointed scallops edged with
ruchings of mousseline de sole n rose
buds over an underskirt of white satin
yelled with mousseline. trimmed with
ruchings of similar material and lace
butterflies. The corsage heart-shaped
back and front of the decolletage. had
rounded insertions of the lace: the de-
colletage was ornamented with small
lapels of amber velvet embroidered
with gold and diamonds. falling over
a white mousseline jewel-embroidered
cravat. which formed a noeud in the
center. finishing in a diamond buckle
at the waist.
