Lady Modish on Stage Costumes
Ssrtorially, the stage is certainly
''coming on!"
Fancy a Modish having to consider
seriously the clothes OF four leading
actresses in one week
Such q statement would have bor-
dered on an absurdity at one time, SO
little did stsge clothes then appeal to OF

It would seem, however, as though
the old order of things were chang ng,
and changing 30 rapidly that it is quite
safe to prophesy that at no very distant
day the American stage will share with
the French stage the onerous role OF

company adds, the men did not take
advantage of the notice and monthly
payment was resumed. Up until 1897
the company says no request for semi
