1.-THE Old Homestead" Attracts Large Audience.

1.-The Old Homestead with Mr.. Den
man Thompson as Uncle Joshua Whit
comb, was seen at the Providence opera
house last evening for the first time in
over three years, but its everlasting popu-
larity was demonstrated by the fact that
the theatre was packed, and many per-
sons were standing. lt Is the same
"Old Homestead" and the same Uncle
Josh, and that is really what makes the
particular charm of the performance.
Mr.. Thompson has, naturally. grown
older, but i'm the role in which he is
known by old and young. he does not
show any evidences of his age. and he
is still the same shrewd, good-natured
and honest farmer. who tells his simple
and yet touching story with all the
straightforward earnestness of son of
the soil.
The play is too well known and Mr..
Thompson is too we'll known, TO need any

Knapp as Eb Ganzy; Charles ii. Clark as
Seth Perkins: Miss Annie Thompson as
Rickety Ann; Mrs. Louise Morse as Aunt
Matilda were all very pleasing, and did
much to keep the audience in roars Of
laughter.
The singing by a double quartet was
one of the very pleasant features of the
performance. the scenery was very at
tractive, and the several electric effects
were all that could be desired. THE Old

especial fur as the favored one.
The smooth close furs such as the
breitschwanz and astrakhan are most
acceptable when the corsage requires
extensive trimming for the fiuffier furs

breitschwanz that II is actually en-

One of the pretty new terra-cotta
models had a corsage made of rough
terra-cotta cloth spotted with woolly
black dots. IL was made perfectly close

Hsques plated slightly at the back. At

. up from the muddy pavements is as ar
duouS as ever.
One OF the daintiest of the new dressy
models had an attractive skirt that veer-
ed away delightfully."- from the cut and
dried styles of this season. IL was built
of the palest nauve satin-tinish cloth.
The skirt was made with long tunio
sloping up slightly at three sides and
finished with a line OF seal-brown velvet.
At the back the fullness was laid in a
single narrow fiat box-plait. Above the
facing there was broad strip OF mink
with innumerable little tails dangliIss
from it. The under skirt fell I'm full round
godets that barely touched the ground
all round.
The bolero, OF the cloth, was a short
affair sloped up very much at the back to
show a high coreslet of brown velvet. 1t
was bordered all around the edges with
n triple piping of brown velvet that con-
tinued over the small slashed revers.
over this, there was a shorter bolero OF
mink that took exactly the form of the
cloth one. II merged into pointed epaul-
cites over the tops OF the close fitting
cloth sleeves The collar was a high
straight affair OF the fur ornamented at
the left side with a mink head and tails.
Here also was chou and jabot OF
mauve mousseline de sole edged with
deeper mauvs chenille.
The toque made for this gown was OF
pale mauve mousseline de sole heavily
embroidered i'm silver. Along the top
edge there was small band OF mink, ter
minating at the left side under large
bow OF seal brown velvet. This was IA
ced with mauve satin and held with a
large strass buckle.
All that savors of the Empire style In
still very much In vogue In the street
gowns the trimming. more than the posi-
tive cut of the gown, gives this desired
effect A striking model built OF dark
blue camers hair had an Empire effect
given by it's trimming of black astrakhan,
though i'm reality IL was built on the
strictest princess lines. IL was absolute
ly glove-htting with the fulness at the
back supplied by "a round box plait.
Around the bottom IL fared I'm series
OF regular godets that were ornamented
with crossed bands Of steel guipure. Strips
of the astrakhan were wrought into
short bolero with the ends reaching to
within a few inches of the bottom OF the
gown. These increased I'm length as they
descended and were finished with points
at the ends. Bands OF the steel guipure
laced the bolero across the front. The
close fitting sleeves were finished with
pointed flaring cuffs of astrakhan that
extended quite over the hands.
