Fashionable Washington paid Tribute
last night to the pretty maids and gallant
gentlemen who made living pictures of

must be indebted to them this morning for
a very handsome sum-
Nothing too extravagant can be said in
praise either of the performers or Of Prince
Troubetskoy, who posed them. As the
| crimson draperies of the stage curtain was
drawn aside to disclose each picture, an
enthusiastic recognition of its beauty and
statuesque perfection was ELECTED from the
distinguished assembage that filed Mr..
| Charles NJ Ffoulke's tapestry gallery TO
I the doors. There were no amateuIish
| crudties TO be excused, no allowances to
| be made for any defect either in drapsry
or pose. The groups seen through the
misty veil of net were as absolutely perfect
as though Phideas himself had enisSled
| them and tinted them with natures own
/ brush. The stage setting. arranged under
! the direction of Mrs. Ffouke, was perfect

/ platform and scaffolding was transformed
| into an ideal stage by hangings of rich
crimson, and row of electric lights con-
cealed along the upper font of the stage
