The dress is of ivory Irish poplin,

The bodice is in form of a blouse to the
bust line, where it stops over lace
guimpe, edged with four inch ierre of

4 Post Nuutial Ode.

We used to walk together in the twilight,
lie whispering tender words sweet and low.
As down the green lanes when the dew was fall

And through the woodlands where the birds were

But now no more we walk in purple cleaning
Adown the lanes, my love and ], ah, mel
The time has passed for such romantic roaming;
He holds the baby while I'm getting tea

And talk of love and its divine effects,

Immersed in smoke, he pores DER gold and

The fact ignored that Just across the table
The loyeliest of her sex sits darning socks.

He looked unutterabe things-his dark eye glow

In fond approval at my outward showing
His taste in laces, dresses, jeweis-alll
Now if perchance we leave the house together,
When friends invite or prima donna sings,
He scans my robes-bougbt new for the occasion

1t is apparently of old Moorish work

fabulously rich Sulu archipelago.

SCENERY FOR A NEW PLAY.

Its Preparation In Modern Theaters
an Interesting Process.
The preparation for a new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned, is most
interesting A complete model in min
iature is made, about the size of one
of the German toy theaters seen In the
shops. The picture Is carefully painted
the rocks, if there he any, and the
foliage are cut out, and all the details
are followed with no less thought than
when the real affair is attacked.
The work is done in water color,
mounted on pastebOard. and If the
scheme he an interior there are real
curtains in miniature, flights Of steps,
and the hangings. all seriously worked
out. 1t is something that would de-
light the heart of boy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These
models are kept until after the piece
is produced. and are then put away
on shelves, alas! only to warp and be-
come covered with dust.
But the master painters work does
not end here by any means, for there
are lights to be arranged, since they
play an important part in the per
formance and must be regulated by
the scheme of color; so there are long
conferences with electricians and many
discussions with the makers of glass
shades whereby the exact tints may be
obta ined.
When every detail has been settled,
then the great acres of canvas are
spread Oh the paint frames. and the
drawing is begun. Large china pots
are used for the colors. These are filled
with paints. which are mixed with
water and IL size. and enormous
brushes put the pigment on the can
vas. 1t is wonderful to watch the
artist. who dashes ON the paint with
no apparent care and who has to work
fast TO cover the surface before the
color dries. which it does quickly

recently have had the effect of being
cut very low off the shoulders. The
vacant space is covered with lace in

often there is no apology for sleeve

These two costumes, for the whole

were sent for two sisters well known in
New York high society. but curiously
enough they do not like to have their
names in print. One of these dresses
had the underskirt made of violet silk

around and just below the knees. The
skirt ended in founce as full as it
could possibly be gathered and so long

available to educate all the boys re-
quired in the next two or three years.
The expedient, therefore, has been adopt
ed of establishing institutions ashore
for much of the theoretical training
and for intoxicating the first essentials
of discipline, the purpose being to re-
lieve the crowded cruising schoolships.
One of these rendezvouses has been built
on Yerba Buena island. in San Fran
commenced ON the other one, at New
port
The building on Coasters island is to
be placed on a hillside, sloping down to
the landing place, the hill in the rear
overtopping the roof and not only shell
tering the structure from the bleak New
England winter Winds but affording a
foundation for water supply capable of
filling all the fire mains. The main
front will be s72 feet long and about 80
feet high, and the width of the build
ing will be $50 feet

is to be devoted to offices. schoolrooms

that which most attracts public atten-
tion just now is the home coming of
Admiral Dewey. 1t is expected that the
admiral will repair to Washington as
soon as the great demonstration in New
York is over and the reception here,
though less spectacular than that in
New York, will be quite as significant
and gratifying to its recipient
The admiral will be entertained by
the president. and, though the arrange
ments so far are but tentative. it is
likely to be the swellest function that
has ever occurred at the White House
Other receptions, public and private,
will follow
There is scarcely any doubt that Ad-
mlral Dewey will make Washington his
permanent home, as this city would be
more congenial to him than any other.
There is here quite bunch of old sea
dogs. who are mainly cronies of the ad
miral and with whom he would doubt
less find pieasanter companionship than
he would find elsewhere. Among the
