A Runaway Girl

Next Monday night the stage of O'Bnens opera house will be occupied by AugustiE Daly's Musical Company in "A Runaway Girl" The piece has recently been played in Cincinnati and here is what the Enqui- Ter says of the company:
 ''There is but one more strong feature of the big production. This is the presenting company. Most of the principal roles, and there are more than a dozen of them, are entrusted to clever entertainers. First of course, comes Mir Powers, whose return to Cincinnati, after many seasons, Is a treat that cannot be fully measured. MT. Powers, since his last appearance here, has developed into a comic opera star who com pares favorably with the Hoppers, Wilson's and DeAngelises. He is even better than them in many respects, being rare combi- nation of uncttousness and eccentricities. As Flipper he is excruciatingly funny. As for his facial play, judging by the flank movements and sorties he was continually executing on that expressive snap" it Is a safe wager that had fate cast MT. Pow CTS as general he would give even the Boers many points in mobility.
 ''The balance of the big Daly organization is up to the pace set by Flipper. MT. Van Rensselaer, Wheeler, as the young English man, appears to full advantage, and com bines case and grace with a pleasing voice. Miss Malfe Celeste, as the runaway girl, surprised her friends by the wonderful for ward strides she has made. Miss Celeste also sings very well, and lends a sweetness and charm to the role. Messrs. Maurice Abby, Spottswood Aiken, George Lesoir and Henry Stanley likewise added to the general enjoyment of the piece. Miss Ra- chel Booth was excellent foil to MT. Powers in most of his best endeavors, and Miss Jeanne Fowler was a very pretty and stately English lady. Misses Miriam Law renee and Mae Baker were also seen to ad- vantage in important roles. The company in its entirety, Is one of the largest seen here this season. The girls in the chorus are not only pretty but singS well. while the costuming Is really gorgeous.
 ITO dismiss the piece ts can be said tha. "A Runaway Girl is wholly delightful, and lovers of pretty music, bright sftua tions, with here and there dash of horse play, will find it all and more than has been said for it.''

buttons. Black velvet ribbon finishes the yoke and outlines the vest, which is scalloped at the bust line.
 To obviate the slim effect which the plain sleeves would otherwise give the shoulders a cap of the yoke material finishes the top of the sleeve, and the plaid goods is draped about it and finished with button of black velvet. The flare which finishes the sleeve over the hand is lined with cream colored cloth and turned back in a point.
 For house purposes the beauty of this design entities it to an honored place in the rank and file of fashion.

A MousseiIne Fischu

American manufacturers have so mas- tered the art of weaving diaphanous goods that they are able to produce fabrics as soft and pliable and as capable of a diversity of treatment as the imported materials One of the newest achievements in the line of cotton goods is a soft and dainty mixture of cotton and silk, called mousseline. It differs from mousselin de soie in that it is cheaper and contains not as much silk In fact, it is a cross between silk mousseline de sole and organdie in texture.
 The soft checked silks which are used so extensively this season were never more tastefully trimmed than now, when they have fischus of this new mousseline. One

as the wheel rosette. This is quite large, and it is probably its size that suggests its name, for it's formation is achieved by lay ing the material in overlapping folds that suggest shingle rather than a wheel ar rangement. It is very pretty, However, and gives infinitely more grace to the hat than the perfectly round rosette to which we are accustomed. Upon the hat portrayed here the rosette is made of the same satin that lines the brim. Figures of lace may or may not be appliqued upon it.

Rodtee for Young Girl

The house bodice continues to be an in teres Jing theme in winter fashions, and for young girls this article is most recently developed in the new French plaids. which are among the spring importations These plaids are delicate, rather light in eolor' and of all hues.
 A very pretty tone indeed is new blue, a color so soft and delightful in it's effect that 1t seems an injustice to expose it to the misfortune of being soiled.
 This shade of new blue is associated very tastefully with pale almond green and cream in a bodice for young girl. The waist is made upon a fitted lining, and has a yoke of deep cream cloth overlaid with lace. Along each side of the yoke are two wide box plaits trimmed with black velvet

The fischu was finished around the border with a frill of Brussels net which had lace design woven along the edges.
 Mousseline comes in the most delicate of the new colors, with hairlne running through it or lowered designs scattered over it. It is also patterned with a sort of sprawling bow knot design in a contrast ing color; or, it can be purchased in plain colors.

ECUADoR'S VOLCANOES.
Within Human Vision Are Snow.
Capped Cones.

Correspondence of the Chicago Record.
Church. the famous artist, has as.
| serted that the grandest mountain
scenery may be found in Ecuador, and
| that there is nothing elsewhere so inn
posing. nothing so sublime, as the
group of volcanic peaks that lie be-
| tween Quito and the sea, where he
painted his wonderful picture, "The
| Heart of the Andes" Nowhere are
wilder freaks in geographical forma-
| tion; nowhere more startling con-
trasts. Within human vision are twen-
| ty-two volcanoes covered with ever
| lasting snow and over fifty feet higher
| than Mont Blanc. Three of the vol
| canoes are active, five are slumberng
and the remainder are extinct. The
! mountains of Asia may surpass those
| of the Andes in altitude, but there is
no such group of monsters elsewhere
| in the world.
A sea of foothills with tho vapor
| towering over them like sleep upon a
drowsy child stands in the foreground
beyond the iunglcs of the coast and
| growing bolder and holder, more and
more rugged,r rises in irregular terraces
which the Spaniards call "sicrras,"
, because their uneven submits ara like
the teeth of a saw. Behind and over
them the volcanoes lift their untroi-
den and unapproachable SUBMITS with
stately grandeur, with SHOWS that
have lain for ages and still defy the
tropical sun. Some of the peaks are
Irregular, some are grotes1ue In OUT
