cause her husband had objection to GER

special exception was taken is the follow
ing: II swear by the love bear my I'M

motive of the play lies I'm the fortunes
which a cunning Matchmaking servant by
means OF letters he has obtained from an
innocent, but indiscreet girl. is enabled TO
arouse In the mind of a jealous husband
This theme provides four acts OF mental
agony, which is finally dispelled by the
oath Miss Willard refused to utter. Miss
Edith Wynne Mattason. who assumed the
role rejected by Miss Willard, achieved a
personal triumph. The play was received
with commingled cheers and Kisses.

THE beauty Of Cora Livingston Barton
had ripened early and 1t faded early. Long

PARIS. Dec. 1.-THE social season is
now in full swing and the gowns upon
which 1t depends are more beautiful than
ever; perhaps the Keynote of gold, which
fashion has decreed for all toilettes,
whether for indoor or outdoor wear, has
something to do with the success CT these
rayishing creations, fresh from the great
dressmakers' modistes. Cloth Of gold,
gold gauze, gold braids, threads. pail
lettes, and innumerable fancy ornaments
which cannot be classed under any spe-
ciic name, are used with such delightful
discretion, that not the most conserya-
tive or fastidious could find a touch Of
vulgar display, or conspicuousness in
them. In some instances silver takes the
place of gold with exquisitely delicate
effect, and while glitter is in demand, It
must all be SO delicate, and ethereal,
that all theatrical appearance is avoid
ed. Another feature which greatly con-
tributes to the attractiveness of the lat
est soiree gowns or ball frocks, is their
diaphanous appearance, or rather their
composition OF diaphanous fabrics, all OF
yhich harmonic perfectly with the
dominating gold note.
The gown of our illustration shows an
exquisite combination OF Fashions latest
developments, together with some little
eccentric though none the less charming
ideas of the famous dressmaker who Gre
ated the model for the young Duchess OF
Marlborough whose tall, dark beauty it
suits admirably. ThereJis a close-ftting
